Using Schedules 
Delaying the Closing Time 
Your systems programmed schedules may automatically arm the system at a 
predetermined time. In the event a user must stay on the premises later than 
usual, users with master or manager authority levels can manually delay the 
automatic arming (closing) time up to 2 hours. To delay the closing time: 
1.  Enter your security code (master or manager authority levels only). 
2. Press the  # 
 key, followed by 82. 
3.  A menu prompt will be displayed, asking for the number of hours of delay.  
 
CLOSING DELAY? 
KEY 0-2 HOURS 
Enter the desired number of hours of delay, 1 or 2. 
The system automatically exits this mode after 
entry.  
Note that the delay is from the scheduled closing time, not from the 
time the command is entered.  
IMPORTANT: The selected delay cannot be reduced once it is set. A 1 
hour delay can be increased to 2 hours, though. 
4.  The system will automatically send a message to the central station 
informing them that the programmed schedule has been changed. 
Temporary Open/Close Schedules 
Temporary schedules allow you to override the normal schedules 
programmed by the installer. Temporary schedules can be in effect for up to 
one week, and take effect as soon as they are programmed. 
They are comprised of an arming (closing) time window and a disarming 
(opening) time window. A time window is simply a defined period of time, at 
the end of which arming or disarming will occur. 
Before programming, use a worksheet similar to the one below to plan your 
schedule. This will make it easier when actually programming the schedule.

Programming Temporary Schedules 
Temporary schedules only affect the partition from which it is entered. 
Temporary schedules can be reused at later dates simply by scrolling (by 
pressing #) to the DAYS? prompt (described below) and activating the 
appropriate days. This should be considered when defining daily time 
windows. Note that only users with authority level of manager or higher can 
program temporary schedules. 
To program temporary schedules: 
1.  Enter your security code. 
2. Press the  #
  key followed by 81. 
3. The following prompts will appear.

the previous steps to enter the start and stop 
time for Mondays arming window. 
TUE  DISARM WIND. 
07:45AM  08:45AM 
After the windows for that day have been 
completed, the system will prompt for disarm and 
arm time windows for the next day. Repeat the 
procedure for all days of the week. 
When all of the days have been completed, the 
system will ask which days are to be activated.

Programming Device Timers 
General Information 
Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected days of the 
week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers that can be used to 
control various devices, such as lights or appliances. Your installer will have 
programmed the appropriate devices into the system (up to 96 devices can be 
programmed).  
Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number) that 
you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch lights on at 
7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer 2 might turn on the air 
conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm to cool the premises before you arrive 
at 5:00pm, and turn it off at 10:00pm when you are retiring for the night. If 
desired, different timers can control the same device. For example, timer 2 
could be used Monday-Friday as in the previous example, and timer 3 could 
be set to turn the air conditioner on and off at different times Saturday and 
Sunday. 
To enter the device timer menu mode:  
Enter your security code, then press the  # 
 key followed by 83. 
OUTPUT TIMER # ? 
01-20,00=QUIT 01 
Up to 20 timers can be programmed. Each timer 
is identified by a number 1-20. Enter the desired 
timer number to be programmed (1-20). Press * 
to accept entry. 
06 07:00P 11:45P 
PORCH LITE    04 
If that timer number has already been 
programmed, a summary screen will appear. In 
this example: 
  06 = Timer # 
  04 = Output Device # affected by this timer  
  PORCH LITE = Output Descriptor for Device 4 
  07:00PM = Start Time; 
  11:45PM = Stop Time 
Press * to continue.  
See your installer for 
device numbers. 00 ENTER OUTPUT#  00 
Enter the desired output device number (1-96). 
As the number is entered, the devices description 
will appear. 
To delete a previously programmed timer, enter 
00 as the output number.

using another timer to turn them off on another 
day). 
00 DAYS? MTWTFSS 
HIT 0-7      X   X 
Select the days on which the device is to be 
activated by entering 1-7 (Monday = 1). An X 
will appear under that day, indicating the output 
for that day is active. Entering a days number 
again will deactivate that day. Pressing 0 will 
turn all days on/off. The outputs will only be in 
effect for the days that have the letter x 
underneath them. As the week progresses, the 
days are reset to the inactive state, unless the 
permanent option is selected (next screen 
prompt). When completed, press * to continue. 
00 PERMANENT ? 
0 = NO, 1 = YES     0 
Answering 1 (YES) means the system executes 
this timer continuously. Answering 0 (NO)means 
the system executes each days output only once.

Programming Device Timers (cont’d) 
Randomize Output Device Times 
Devices in your system may be set for a random schedule, whereby they will 
turn on and off at different times each day. This is useful when going on 
vacation and you desire the turning on and off of the lights to the give the 
appearance of someone being home. Your installer sets these devices for a 
random schedule. You can initiate a random schedule by either of the 
following methods: 
1. Enter your security code and press  # 
 followed by 41. 
This will randomize, up to 30 minutes, the activation time of all devices, 
programmed for randomization, assigned to the partition the sequence is 
entered in. Enter the sequence again to turn off the random schedule. 
2. Enter your security code and press   # 
 followed by 42.  
This is the same as the method above, except the randomization occurs 
only on devices with activation times within 6 PM and 5 AM. Enter the 
same sequence again to turn off the random schedule.

Event Log Procedures 
General Information 
The system has the ability to record 
various events in a history log wherein 
each event is recorded in one of five 
categories (listed below), with the time and 
date of its occurrence. The Event Log holds 
up to 1000 events, with the oldest event 
being replaced by the logging of any new 
event after the log is full. Using an alpha 
keypad, the Event Log can be viewed one 
category at a time, or can display all 
events, regardless of category (ALL 
EVENT LOG). The system also allows 
selection of displaying the COMPLETE log, 
or only those events occurring since the 
last installer service (RECENT). In 
addition, events in the other partitions can 
be viewed by users authorized to access 
those partitions. Note that events are 
displayed in chronological order, from most 
recent to oldest. 
To Display The Event Log 
1. Enter CODE + [#] + [6] + [0] 
2. Select the display mode. 
RECENT: Displays only those events 
occurring since last Event Log Clear 
command was executed. 
COMPLETE: Displays complete event 
log (up to 1000 events). 
Press the desired key, 0 or 1. 
ENTER 0 = RECENT 
1 = COMPLETE 
 3. Select the partition, 0-8. 
Enter the partition number for the
