    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:

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

     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.
