– 41 – Testing the System About Testing the System Using the Test mode allows each protection point to be checked for proper operation. Testing should be conducted weekly to ensure proper operation. • The keypad sounds a single beep about every 30 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode. • Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station while Test mode is on. 1. Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The READY indicator light should come on if all zones are intact (i.e., all protected windows, doors, etc. are closed. Alpha Displays: ∗∗∗∗DISARMED∗∗∗∗ READY TO ARM 2. + 5 TEST then [0] (walk) (Master Code) The Dial test (option “1”) is intended for the installer and should not be used unless directed to do so by your Security System Representative. 1 = DIAL, 0 = WALK 3. Listen. The external sounder should sound for about 1 second then turn off. If the sounder does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE. The “Test in Progress” display appears only on the keypad that started the test. TEST IN PROGRESS 4. Fault zones. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps from the keypad. Identification (zone number or zone description) of each faulted protection point should appear on the display. The display clears when the door or window is closed. 5. 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 clears when no motion is detected. Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This conserves battery life. 6. Test all smoke detectors, following 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. 7. Exit test mode: + 1 OFF (Security Code) If the test mode is inadvertently left active, it automatically turns off after 4 hours. During the final five minutes, the keypad will emit a double beep every 30 seconds.
– 42 – Trouble Conditions Check and Battery Displays The word CHECK on the keypads display, accompanied by a beeping at the keypad, indicates a trouble condition in the system. To silence the beeping for these conditions, press any key. 1. A display of CHECK and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem exists with the displayed zone(s) and requires your attention. Determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they are not. If the problem has been corrected, the display can be cleared if you enter the OFF sequence (security code plus OFF key) twice. If the display persists, CALL FOR SERVICE. Note: A display of CHECK 70 on Alpha Display keypads indicates that the wiring connection to the external sounder is at fault (opened or shorted), and you should CALL FOR SERVICE. See “BELL FAILURE” on next page. A display of CHECK 90 indicates that RF interference may be impeding the operation of wireless sensors* in the system. See “Rcvr Jam” on next page. 2. If there are wireless sensors* in your system, the CHECK condition may also be caused by some change in the environment that prevents the wireless receiver from receiving messages from a particular sensor. CALL FOR SERVICE if this occurs. * Not all systems use wireless sensors. IF YOU CANNOT CORRECT A CHECK DISPLAY, CALL FOR SERVICE.

LO BAT Indicates that there is a low battery + zone descriptor condition in the wireless transmitter** (or BAT with number displayed (00 is RF keypad). zone No.) Accompanied by a single beep* (about once every 30 seconds) at the keypad. Either replace the battery yourself, or CALL FOR SERVICE. If the battery is not replaced within 30 days, a CHECK display may occur. Rcvr Jam Wireless part of the system is experiencing (or CHECK 90) RF interference which may impede reception from wireless sensors.** ALARM 1xx FAULT 1xx CHECK 1xx (or 91) Indicates a communication problem between the control and a connected device (e.g., RF receiver, zone expander) where the “xx” indicates the device address. CALL FOR SERVICE. MODEM COMM (or CC) Indicates that the control is on-line with the Central Monitoring Stations remote computer. The control will not report system activity while on-line. Wait a few minutes — the display should disappear. BELL FAILURE Indicates that the wiring connection to (or CHECK 70) the external sounder is at fault (open or shorted). Accompanied by “beeping” at the keypad. CALL FOR SERVICE.
– 44 – Trouble Conditions (cont’d) Other Trouble Displays (Continued) AC LOSS The system is operating on battery power (or NO AC) only due to an AC power failure. If only some lights are out on the premises, check circuit breakers and fuses and reset or replace as necessary. If AC power cannot be restored and a “low system battery” message appears (see previous page), CALL FOR SERVICE. Busy-Standby (or dI) If this message remains displayed for more than 1 minute, system is disabled. CALL FOR SERVICE. OPEN CIRCUIT The keypad is not receiving signals from (or OC) the control. CALL FOR SERVICE. Long Rng Trbl If part of your system, back-up (or bF) communication device has failed. CALL FOR SERVICE. TELCO FAULT The telephone line has a problem. (or CHECK 94) CALL FOR SERVICE. Total Power FailureIf there is no keypad display at all, and the READY indicator is not lit, operating power (from AC and back-up battery) for the system has been interrupted and the system is inoperative. CALL FOR SERVICE. In The Event Of Telephone Operational Problems In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control from the phone line by removing the plug from the phone wall jack. We recommend that your installer demonstrate this disconnection on installation of the system. Do not attempt to disconnect the phone connection inside the control. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phones work correctly after the control has been disconnected from the phone wall jack, the control has a problem and you should immediately call for service. If upon disconnection of the control, there is still a problem on the phone line, notify the Telephone Company that they have a problem and request prompt phone repair service. The user may not under any circumstances attempt any service or repairs to the security system. Repairs must be made only by authorized service (see the LIMITED WARRANTY statement for information on how to obtain service).
– 45 – Maintaining Your System Taking Care of Your System The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. However, to make sure that your system is in reliable working condition, do the following: 1. Test your system weekly . 2. Test your system after any alarm occurs. Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad You can silence the keypad’s warning tones by pressing the OFF key, but the keypads low battery message display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery condition in one or more of your wireless sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor sends a good battery signal to the control as soon as the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If the sensor is not activated, the display will automatically clear within approximately 1 hour. Replacing Batteries in Wireless Sensors Wireless sensors may not have been used in your security system IMPORTANT: Use only batteries recommended by your installer as replacement. Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects a low battery in wireless sensors, including smoke detectors, the personal emergency transmitter, and the portable wireless keypad and displays a low battery message*. (A low battery in a portable wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and displayed as 00.). Battery-operated smoke detectors with a low battery also emit a single chirp sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds. Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt lithium batteries provide up to 4 or more years of operation. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an installation. * The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, a sensor causing a low battery indication is still fully operational. Routine Care Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows. Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors. The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water or any other fluid on the units.
– 46 – Fire Alarm System THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS General Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will sound their alarms and automatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound* from the Keypad(s) and any external sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence the alarm (see below for silencing fire alarms). * Temporal pulse sounding is produced for Fire alarms, as follows: 3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause. . . , repeated. TYPICAL FIRE EMERGENCY DISPLAYS FIRE 01 MASTER BEDROOM 01 0101 01 ALARM FIRE AC ALPHA DISPLAY KEYPADFIXED-WORD DISPLAY KEYPAD Silencing Fire Alarms and Clearing Memory of Alarm 1. You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF key (the security code is not needed to silence fire alarms). To clear the display, enter your code and press the OFF key again (to clear Memory of Alarm). 2. If the Keypads FIRE display does not clear after the second OFF sequence, smoke detectors may still be responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity. Investigate, and 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. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code and pressing the OFFkey. Smoke Detector ResetDepending on the type of smoke detectors in your system, it may be necessary to reset the smoke detectors after a fire alarm has been turned off. Check with your installer. This reset is accomplished at a keypad, as follows: Enter Security Code ( except “arm only” user), then press the [1] key. NOTE: During smoke detector reset, “FAULT xx” appears (about six seconds) and should disappear if the detector is clear.
– 47 – Fire Alarm System (cont’d) THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS Manually Initiating a Fire Alarm 1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your smoke or heat detectors sense the problem, go to your nearest keypad and manually initiate an alarm by pressing the panic key assigned for FIRE emergency for 2 seconds (see below). If a key pair has been assigned for fire, press both keys at the same time. See the Using the Panic Keys section below for further details. 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 zone number(s) of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will be displayed at the keypad. Using the Panic Key(s) Assigned for FIRE Emergency A key or key pair may have been assigned for manually initiating a FIRE alarm. See the Panic Keys section for key assignments. For convenience, indicate the key or key pair assigned for fire below. Individual Keys A B C Press the individual key assigned for fire for 2 seconds.

If a high level of carbon monoxide is detected, an interrupted pulsed alarm sound occurs at the keypads and the detector(s). Immediately move to a spot where fresh air is available, preferably outdoors. From a safe area, call your security service provider for further instructions. To silence the keypad sounding, press the OFF key. To silence the detector, see its instructions. Press both keys of the key pair assigned for fire at the same time.
– 48 – Fire Alarm System (cont’d) THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS National Fire Protection Association Recommendations on Smoke Detectors With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Associations National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) noted below. Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

– 49 – Fire Alarm System (cont’d) THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS Emergency Evacuation 2nd FLOOR BACK FRONTfloor_plan-002-V0 BATH CLOSET BEDROOM BEDROOM BEDROOM 1st FLOOR BATH KITCHEN BEDROOMBEDROOM PORCH BACK DOOR Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association: 1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all occupants. 2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other may be a window, should your path be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground. 3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room. 4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape. 5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in. 6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor. 7. Escape quickly; dont panic. 8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back.
