– 25 – USING DEVICE COMMANDS General InformationYour system may be set up so that certain lights or other devices can be turned on or off by using the device command from the keypad. Ask your installer if this has been done in your system. If programmed for your system, some devices may activate automatically upon certain system conditions. In this case, the following commands can be used to override the device activation. See your installer for a full explanation of this feature. To activate devices ENTER SECURITY CODE THEN PRESS # + 7 + DEVICE NUMBER + # + 7 + (Security Code) (Device Number)Example: 7 2 9 6 then press #, then press 7, then enter the number representing the device you wish to activate.

See your installer for device numbers assigned for your system. Device Description Device Description 1 5 2 6 3 7 4 8
– 26 – PAGING FEATURE General If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a 10-digit code. This code indicates the type of condition that has occurred. Code FormatThe 10-digit pager code takes the following form: SSSS-EEE-NNN SSSS = 4-digit subscriber number (this number will always appear at the beginning of the pager display) EEE =3-digit number describing the event that has occurred as follows: 911 = Alarm (NNN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm) 001 = Open, system disarmed (NNN following indicates user number) 002 = Close, system armed (NNN following indicates user number) 811 = Trouble (NNN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble) NNN = 3-digit user or zone number, depending on the type of event that occurred Examples: Pager displays: 1234–911–004 This indicates that your system (subscriber 1234) is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (004). Pager displays: 1234–001–005This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (001) by user 5 (005).
– 27 – SECURITY CODES General Information As an additional safety feature, other users who do not have a need to know your code can be assigned different security codes. These secondary users are identified by user numbers, which are selected when assigning a users security code. You can assign up 14 additional user codes (user numbers 03-16), including the babysitter and duress codes. Note that the master (primary) user of the system is the only one who can assign codes to secondary (or temporary) users, and is user number 02; user number 01 is reserved for the installer of the system. All 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 babysitter code described below. Babysitter CodeThis code can be used to arm the system in assigned partitions, but cannot disarm the system unless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as a babysitter) who has a need to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The babysitter code is assigned to user 15. The user of this code should not use the “Quick Arming” feature described below. Duress CodeThis feature is 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 alarm monitoring company of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress code is assigned to user 16. Important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a alarm monitoring company. Quick Arming Note that if Quick Arming was programmed by the installer, the # key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The security code must always be used to disarm the system, however.

– 30 – TESTING THE SYSTEM Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated. The display will clear when no motion is detected. Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This is to conserve battery life. To test all smoke detectors, follow the manufacturers instructions. The identification of each detector should appear on the display when each is activated. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY . When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone identification numbers displayed on the keypad. When testing is completed, exit the TEST mode by continuing with step 5. OFF 5. + 1 EXIT TEST MODE (Security Code) Enter your security code and press the OFF key.
