are  Silent  Emergency,  Audible  Emergency,  and  Person al  Emergency.  See 
your  installer  for  the  function(s)  that  may  have  be en  programmed  for  your 
system.

An  audible  emergency   sends  an  emergency  message  to  the  central  station 
(if connected) and will sound a loud, steady alarm  at your keypad and at any 
external  sounders  that  may  be  connected  ( ALARM  plus  a  zone  number 
would also be displayed). 
A  personal  emergency  alarm  sends  an  emergency  messa ge  to  the  central 
station   (if  connected)  and  will  sound  at  Keypads,  but  not  at  external 
Notification  Appliance  Circuits .  (ALARM   plus  a  zone  number  would  also  be

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 o n the premises later than 
usual, users with master or manager authority level s 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 auth ority 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 bee n changed. 
Temporary Open/Close Schedules 
Temporary schedules allow you to override the normal schedules 
programmed by the installer. Temporary schedules ca n be in effect for up to 
one week, and take effect as soon as they are progr ammed. 
They are comprised of an arming (closing) time wind ow and a disarming 
(opening) time window. A time window is simply a de fined 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 pr ogramming the schedule.

Programming Temporary Schedules 
Temporary  schedules  only  affect  the  partition  from  which  it  is  entered. 
Temporary  schedules  can  be  reused  at  later  dates  si mply  by  scrolling  (by 
pressing  #)  to  the  DAYS?  prompt  (described  below)  a nd  activating  the 
appropriate  days.  This  should  be  considered  when  de fining  daily  time 
windows. Note that only  users with authority level  of manager or higher can 
program temporary schedules.  
To program temporary schedules:

Programming Device Timers 
General Information 
Device  timers  consist  of  an  ON  time  and  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  appli ances.  Your  installer  will 
have  programmed  the  appropriate  devices  into  the  sy stem  (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  tu rn  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  pre mises  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  devi ce.  For  example,  timer  2 
could  be  used  Monday-Friday  as  in  the  previous  exam ple,  and  timer  3  could 
be  set  to  turn  the  air  conditioner  on  and  off  at  di fferent  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. A number 1- 
20  identifies  each  timer.  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.

something  ON  for  the  days  selected  below.  (Ex.  
using  one  timer  to  turn  lights  on  one  day  and 
using  another  timer  to  turn  them  off  on  another 
day). 
00 OFF TIME ? 
00:00 PM

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.
