Using Schedules 
Delaying the Closing Time 
Your system’s 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 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 16 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 # ?

Testing The System (To Be Conducted Weekly) 
Using the   5  TEST Key 
The TEST key puts your system into Test mode, which allows each 
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. 
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 alarm by entering your code and pressing the OFF key.  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.
