4. After pressing a button on the START MENU the 
system voice will prompt you to then use the MAIN 
MENU.
The MAIN MENU includes the following buttons: 
❑Light Control
❑Option #
❑Sensor/Remote
❑Access Code
Press the appropriate button. Depending on the button you 
pressed, the system will prompt you to continue by press-
ing other buttons on the panel. 
Access Codes
Your security system has a master access code, access 
codes 1-5, and a panic code used for arming and disarming 
the panel. The master code is used for disarming and pro-
gramming your system. Access codes 1-5 are generally 
used for children or as temporary codes for a baby-sitter or 
service personnel. The panic code may be entered to arm, 
disarm or subdisarm the system in a non-medical emer-
gency situation. The panel will call the central station with 
a panic alarm report, but there will be no indication of an 
alarm at the panel.
Note
Codes are always needed to disarm the system. 
Depending on the panel configuration, codes may be 
needed to arm the system.
Your system may be set up so that the master code or an 
access code is required when arming. If so, the panel will 
prompt you to enter a code when you attempt to arm the 
system.
Note
Because different codes can be entered using the 
same button presses you have to use caution when 
programming the panic code. You need to ensure 
that the panic code does not use the same button 
presses as other access codes. For example if the 
master code is 1234, do not program the panic code 
to be 2244. The panel would interpret these codes to 
be the same code.

Trouble Beeps
Your security system is able to automatically test itself for: 
❑Power failures
❑Low batteries
❑Non-working sensors
❑Communication troubles with the Central Monitoring 
Station
When your security system detects one of the problems 
above, six rapid beeps sound every minute, until the trou-
ble condition is corrected.
AC Power Failure
This condition occurs if your security system has been 
accidentally unplugged or if there has been an AC power 
outage. The backup battery will take over. If AC power is 
not restored within 15 seconds, the panel will go dark and 
alert you with trouble beeps. If you press any button, the 
display will light and pressing SYSTEM STATUS will 
confirm the AC power failure. If AC power is not restored 
within a programmed period of time (5-254 minutes) the 
system will call the central monitoring station (if pro-
grammed by installer). The backup battery, if fully 
charged, will last for 18 - 24 hours with no AC power.
Silencing Trouble Beeps
To stop the trouble beeps, press the SYSTEM STATUS 
button or arm/disarm the system while the trouble condi-
tion exists. Trouble beeps will begin 4 hours later, unless 
the trouble condition is corrected. 
						

							14
System Battery Failure
This condition occurs if the emergency backup battery has 
failed. Status beeps will start and the SYSTEM STATUS 
button will light. Press the SYSTEM STATUS button to 
hear the trouble message. If your AC power is not work-
ing, your security system will shut down once the battery 
has failed. If the condition does not clear after AC power 
has been restored and 24 hours have passed, call your 
security system dealer.
Sensor Failure
This condition occurs if a sensor is not communicating 
with the panel. Status beeps will start and the SYSTEM 
STATUS button will light. Press the SYSTEM STATUS 
button to hear which sensor(s) failed. Perform sensor tests. 
It may be necessary for you to call your security system 
dealer if the problem continues. 
Sensor Low Battery
This condition occurs if a system sensor has a low battery. 
The sensor may still be communicating with the panel. 
Status beeps will start and the SYSTEM STATUS button 
will light. Press the SYSTEM STATUS button to hear 
which sensor has a low battery. It may be necessary for 
you to call your security system dealer to resolve this 
problem. Some sensor batteries can be replaced by the 
homeowner. 
Fail-To-Communicate
This condition occurs if your security system cannot com-
municate to the central monitoring station. Your system 
will try to report to the central monitoring station 8 times 
before it tells you there is a Fail-To-Communicate prob-
lem. Status beeps will start and the System Status button 
will light. Press the System Status button to hear the trou-
ble message. It may be necessary for you to call your secu-
rity system dealer if the problem continues.
Sensor Open
This condition occurs if a door or window is open, a sys-
tem sensor has been disturbed or tampered and not reset 
properly.  For example, a Motion Sensor may be off the 
wall or a Door/Window Sensor cover may have been 
removed from the sensor. Your system will indicate this 
condition to you by causing the System Status button to 
light. When you press this button, the system responds 
with Sensor # Name open. Correct the problem by reset-
ting the sensor. If this condition continues, call your secu-
rity system dealer
Sensor Tampered
This condition occurs when a sensor is physically tam-
pered with. If the system is armed an alarm will occur. For 
example, the cover is taken off of one of the sensors. Your 
system will indicate this condition to you by causing the 
System Status button to light. When you press this button, 
the system responds with, Sensor # Name tampered. Cor-
rect the problem by resetting the sensor. If this condition 
continues, call your security system dealer.
Option 50 Detected
The panel receiver may be experiencing some interfer-
ence. The system will call to notify the central monitoring 
station about this problem.
Siren 1 or 2 Failure
Call your security system dealer.
System Access Alarm
The panel cover was opened while the system was armed. 
The system will call the central monitoring station to 
report a tamper alarm.
Testing
As an added safeguard, there are system tests you should 
do yourself on a regular basis. It is recommended that you 
test your system weekly. 
Testing Sensors

grammed sensors that you need to test. The panel will start 
with sensor 1 and announce Test sensor 1, sensor name.
When you trip a sensor and it communicates successfully 
it will be removed from the list. You may trip the sensors 
in any order. The sensor test has a 4 minute time-out that 
resets with each sensor trip.
After all sensors have been successfully tested, the panel 
will announce Sensor test complete, press DONE. Press 
DONE. The panel will announce Sensor test ok.
If any of the sensors did not test successfully and you want 
to terminate the test, press DONE or Cancel. The panel 
will announce Sensor test canceled or failure. If a sensor 
test fails, call your security dealer.
Use the following table to trip devices:
Clearing System Status

message, then disarm the system to clear system sta-
tus. If the trouble condition was a low CPU battery, per-
form a sensor test. The SYSTEM STATUS button 
should turn off if all trouble conditions have been cor-
rected.

Alarm System Limitations
Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee 
protection against burglary, fire, or environmental prob-
lems.
All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or 
failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons.
❑If sirens are not placed within hearing range of per-
sons sleeping, in remote parts of the premises, or if 
they are placed behind doors or other obstacles.
❑If intruders gain access through unprotected points of 
entry or areas where sensors have been bypassed.
❑If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, 
jamming, or disconnecting all or part of the system.
❑If power to sensors is inadequate or disconnected.
❑If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located 
in areas where the appropriate condition can be 
detected.
❑If smoke does not reach a Smoke Sensor. For exam-
ple, Smoke Sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, 
walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sen-
sors may not detect smoke in other levels of the build-
ing. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are 
caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper stor-
age of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or 
other hazardous conditions.

❑If telephone lines are out of service.
Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of 
alarm failure. Therefore, test your system at least once per 
week to be sure sensors, sirens, and phone communica-
tions are all working correctly.
Although having an alarm system may make you eligible 
for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substi-
tute for insurance.
WARNING!
Security system devices cannot compensate you for 
the loss of life or property.
Service
If you have any questions about your security system or if 
you ever need service, please contact your security con-
sultant.

Planning for Emergencies
This section describes what you can do to plan ahead for 
an emergency:
❑Emergency Planning 
❑Your Floor Plan
Emergency Planning
Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should 
develop plans to help prepare for a variety of emergency 
situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency 
plans to include the following:
❑Understand how to use your security system
❑Know the normal state of doors and windows; open, 
closed, or locked.
❑Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.)
❑Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to 
the touch.
❑Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to 
help reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.
❑Meet at a designated outdoor location.
❑Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if 
there is a fire.
❑Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone.
❑Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if 
they hear sirens in the house.
❑If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not 
enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor’s phone.
Your Floor Plan
Use the following guidelines when drawing your floor 
plan (use the next page to draw your floor plan):
❑Show all building levels.
❑Show exits from each room (two exits per room are 
recommended).
❑Show the location of all security system components.
❑Show the location of any fire extinguishers.
