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 
partition whose events are to be 
displayed. 
Entering 0 (NO) will display all 
partitions events.

Testing the System (To Be Conducted Weekly) 
Using the   5  TEST Key 
The TEST key puts your system into Burglary Walk Test mode, which allows each 
burglary protection point to be checked for proper operation. 
1.  Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. READY should be 
displayed. 
  TEST 
2.  Enter your security code and press the  5  key. 
3.  The external sounder should sound for 3 seconds and then turn off.  If the sounder 
does not sound, it may be due to dialer communication activity.  Wait a few minutes 
and try again.  If the sounder still does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE 
IMMEDIATELY. 
4.  The keypad will sound a single beep every 15 seconds as a reminder that the system 
is in Test mode. Each time a protection zone is faulted (opened); the keypad should 
beep three times. If the sounder does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE 
IMMEDIATELY. 
NOTES: 
• No alarm reports will be sent to the central monitoring station while the system 
is in Test mode. 
• The system will automatically exit the Test mode if there is no activity (no doors or 
windows are opened and closed, no motion detectors are activated, etc.) for 60 minutes. 
The system will beep the keypad(s) twice every 5 seconds during the last 5 minutes as a 
warning that it is about to exit the Test mode and return to normal operation. 
Testing Your System 
1. Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps. 
Each faulted protection point should appear on the display. 
2. Walk in front of any motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps as 
movement is detected (wireless motion detectors have a 3-1/2 minute lockout 
between trips). Each detector’s should appear on the display when it is activated. 
3. Follow the manufacturers instructions to test all smoke detectors to ensure that all 
are functioning properly. Each detector should appear on the display when activated. 
4. When all protection points have been checked, there should be no zone identification 
numbers displayed. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no 
confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. 
5. Turn off Test mode by entering the security code + the OFF key.

Fire Alarm System 
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing 
continuous protection.  In the event of an emergency, the smoke and heat 
detectors automatically send signals to your Control, triggering a loud 
interrupting sound from the keypad and the optional exterior sounders.  
FIRE appears at your keypad and remains on until you silence the alarm. 
In Case Of Fire Alarm 
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense 
the problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm 
by pressing the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed 
by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds. 
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises. 
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your 
local Fire Department immediately. 
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm.  
The descriptor of the zone(s) in alarm appears at the keypad. 
Silencing a Fire Alarm 
1. Silence the keypad by entering your code and pressing the OFF key.  
This may or may not also silence the fire bells.  A second entry may be 
required, depending on system programming. To clear the display, enter 
your code and press the OFF key again 
2. If the keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the second OFF 
sequence, press the READY key to display the zone(s) that are faulted.  
Be sure to check that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or 
heat producing objects in their vicinity.  Should this be the case, 
eliminate the source of heat or smoke. 
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the 
detector.  Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds. 
4. You can clear the display by entering your code + the OFF key.

Fire Alarm System (cont’d) 
Event Display Lock 
If several zones produce an alarm, trouble or supervisory, the system will 
display the first zone that produced an event. To display the other zone(s) in 
alarm or trouble, press the [*] key for each zone.   
Fire Drill Test (Code + # + 69) 
This test causes Notification Appliance Circuits to be activated for the 
purpose of conducting a fire drill or a bell test.  This can only be activated by 
the installer or a master user from Partition 1 keypads as follows: 
1. Enter the corresponding security code and press [#} + 69 (make sure the 
burglary portion of the system is disarmed).  Keypads will display “FIRE 
DRILL ACTIVE” while the test is active. 
2. The test may be stopped by entering any security code and pressing OFF. 
NOTE: The system continues to monitor all 24-hour zones (fire, panic, etc.), 
while this test is active, and will end the test when an alarm condition is 
detected.  This test should be conducted at periodic intervals as determined 
by the local authority having jurisdiction.

Trouble Conditions 
Typical Trouble Displays 
The word CHECK or TRBL on the Keypads display, accompanied by a rapid 
beeping at the Keypad, indicates there is a trouble condition in the system. 
To silence the beeping sound for trouble conditions, press any key. 
• “CHECK” or “TRBL” display accompanied by a display of CALL 
SERVICE indicates that a problem exists with the system that 
eliminates some of the protection. CALL FOR SERVICE 
IMMEDIATELY.  
• “CHECK” or “TRBL display accompanied by a display of one or more 
zone descriptors indicate that a problem exists with those zone(s). First, 
determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact (this may include Fire and 
Waterflow type zones) and make them so if they are not. If the problem 
has been corrected, key an OFF sequence (Code plus OFF) to clear the 
“CHECK” or “TRBL” display. If the display persists, CALL FOR 
SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. 
• “CHECK” or “TRBL” display accompanied by a display of “6XX,” where 
XX = 01-32, indicates a trouble on a supervised relay (corresponding 
relay number 01-32). 
• “CHECK” or “TRBL” display accompanied by a display of “8XX,” where 
XX = 00-30, indicates a trouble on a peripheral device (connected to the 
panel’s keypad terminals). 
• “CHECK” or “TRBL” display accompanied by a display of “9XX,” where 
XX = 00-99, indicates a system trouble exists (dialers, Notification 
Appliance Circuits, ground fault, etc.).  These zones are as follows: 
970: Bell 1 Output  975:  Dialer 2 
971: Bell 2 Output  988:  2
