If programmed, Quick Bypass allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones 
without having to enter zone numbers individually. This feature is useful if, for 
example, you routinely leave certain windows open when arming at night.

 (Security Code) BYPASS 
  In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed 
and automatically bypassed.
 Make sure that only those 
zones that you wish to leave unprotected are bypassed, and 
that there are no other zones unintentionally left open.

CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while the 
system is disarmed. When Chime mode is activated: 
 •  Three tones sound at the keypad whenever a perimeter door or window is opened.  
 •  Interior zones do not produce a tone when they are faulted. 
 • Pressing the 
READY key will display the open protection points. 
 •  Chime mode can be used only while the system is disarmed.

When Voice Chime is on, faulted zones cause a voice status announcement, chime 
and display. When off, the sounder still provides chime if normal Chime mode is on.

The “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” keys can be used to automatically activate a series of 
commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes, 
as a group, are called “macros” and are stored in the systems memory.  
 
•  Typical macro functions can include: 
    - Arming sequences: STAY, Night-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY 
    - Bypassing particular zone(s) 
    - Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc. 
 
•  One macro can be assigned. 
 
•  Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to 
perform the macro’s function. 
 
NOTE: The installer must activate the desired function key before macros can be 
assigned. See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.

Your system may be set up so that it can control certain lights or other devices. 
 
•  Some devices may be automatically turned on or off by the system. 
 
•  You may be able to override automatically controlled devices using the 
commands described below. 
 
•  Some devices can be manually turned on or off using the commands described 
below. 
 
•  See your installer for a list of devices that may be set up for your system. A list 
of these devices is provided at the back of this manual for you to fill out.  
 
To Activate Devices:
 
  
          +  [#] + [7] + 2-digit device number

Your system may be set up to automatically send alert messages to a pager as certain 
conditions occur in your system. 
•  The following events can be programmed by your installer to be sent to the pagers: 
arming and disarming
†, alarms, and trouble conditions. (†  reports when 
arming/disarming from a keypad using a security code; auto-arming/disarming, 
arming with assigned button, and keyswitch arming do not send pager messages.) 
•  You can also program the system to send an automatic pager message to alert you 
in the event that someone has not arrived home (disarmed the system) within a 
defined period of time (see the 
Scheduling section for details on “latch key report”). 
•  Your installer programs the pager phone numbers and reporting events. 
•  The pager message consists of a 7-digit system status code that indicates the type of 
condition that has occurred. 
•  An optional, predefined 16-digit character string can precede the 7-digit system 
status code; these characters can consist of a PIN no., subscriber account no., or any 
additional data that you may wish to have sent to the pager. 
•  The pager display format is as follows: 
3-digit Event Code   
È
È Optional 16 digits Æ
Æ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 – BBB

Å
Å 1-digit partition + 3-digit
 User or Zone No.  A =

Optional 16-digits for 
Account numbers, 
PIN numbers, or any 
other data; 
programmed by the 
installer, if required.
 A 3-digit code that 
describes the event 
that has occurred 
in your system 
(see for event 
codes table below)
 A 1-digit partition number plus a 3-digit User or Zone 
number, depending on the type of event that has 
occurred, where: 
• alarms and troubles display zone number 
• arming/disarming (opens/closes) display user number 
• single-digit user or zone numbers are preceded by a 
zero.
 
 The 3-digit Event Codes (BBB) that can be displayed are: 
911 = 
811 = 
101 = 
102 = 
Alarms. 
The 4-digit number 
(CCCC) represents the 
zone number that has 
caused the alarm. Troubles. 
The 4-digit number 
(CCCC) represents the 
zone number that has 
caused the trouble. Open 
(system disarmed). 
The 4-digit number 
(CCCC) represents the 
user number that has 
disarmed the system. Close 
(system armed). 
The 4-digit number 
(CCCC) represents the 
user number that has 
armed the system.
 
 
Examples of typical 7-digit pager displays follow.

Your system may be set up so you can manually send a message to a pager. 
 •  Your installer programs the paging function key and the pager phone number. 
 •  Pressing the paging keys sends the message 
 
999–9999  to the pager
. 
 
• 
This message could mean “call home”, “call your office”, or any other prearranged 
meaning. 
 •  See the Paging chart at the back of this manual for details of the paging setup for 
your system. 
 
1. Hold 
pager key 2 seconds. 
  Press and hold the programmed Paging Key for at 
least 2 seconds (wait for beep). 
2.  The recipient, on seeing the 999–9999 message, will 
understand the prearranged meaning of this signal.

You can program a schedule that causes a pager report to be sent if the system is not 
DISARMED by the scheduled time (see Scheduling section, event “03”). For example, 
a working parent might want a message to be sent to a pager if their child did not 
arrive home from school and disarm the system by a certain time. 
If programmed, the message that is sent is: 
 777–7777 .

Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions. 
In addition, you can assign up to 15 different security codes for use by other users. 
•  Only the System Master can assign user codes to users. 
•  Users are identified by 2-digit user numbers (01-16). 
•  In addition to a security code, each user is assigned various system attributes. 
•  User codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a 
system armed with one users code can be disarmed by another users code), with 
the exception of the guest code described below. 
•  User code programming involves these steps:  
  1.  Choose a user number and assign a 4-digit security code. 
  2.  Assign an authority level to that user. 
  3.  Assign other attributes as necessary (see attributes on the next page). 
 
NOTE: The factory settings are designed to meet most normal user situations. 
Therefore, the only step you usually need to do when adding users is assign a user 
number and a security code.

Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can/cannot perform.   
Level Title  Explanation   
N/A  System Master    Reserved for user 02; Can perform all system functions and assign 
codes; can change its own code as follows: 
Master code + [8] + 02 + 
new master code + new master code again  
 
The default System Master code is 1234. 
0   Standard User  Can only perform security functions. Cannot perform other system 
functions. 
1   Arm Only  Can only arm the system. Cannot disarm or do other functions. 
2   Guest  Can arm the system, but cannot disarm the system 
unless the 
system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to 
someone (e.g., babysitter or cleaner) who has a need to arm/disarm 
the system only at certain times. The user of this code should 
not use 
the “Quick Arming” feature. 
3   Duress Code  Intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system 
under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can 
silently notify the Central Monitoring Station of your situation, if that 
service has been provided.
