How to Disarm the System 
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, 
DO NOT enter the premises, but call the police from a nearby safe 
location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main 
sounder has shut itself off, the TouchCenter will beep rapidly upon 
entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence. 
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a 
nearby safe location. 
The system may be disarmed using either of two methods. One 
method is employed when you enter the premises and the other is 
when you have been in the premises with the system armed (i.e., Stay 
and Night arming modes). 
To disarm the system when entering the premises: 
The TouchCenter will automatically display the Entry Delay Active 
screen when you enter the premises: 
Enter your Code. The partition will be 
disarmed and the Arming screen is 
displayed showing the system as Ready 
to Arm. 
Note: If you have a comm ercial system  
and a time window has been defined for 
when you may disarm the system , the 
system will not disarm if you are outside 
that time window. 
To disarm the system when already in the premises:  
SCREEN ACTION  
1. Press the DISARM button on the  
Arm ed screen. The User Authorization 
screen is displayed with the instructions 
“To Disarm, Enter Code”.

How to Check the Status of Other Partitions 
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (depending on 
the system.)  Partitioning enables a single physical alarm system to 
control up to eight areas of protection (partitions) depending on the 
system you have purchased. Each TouchCenter and other keypad is 
assigned a default partition for display purposes, and will show only 
that partitions information.  
Note: A letter “H” following the partition name or number indicates 
that this is the default partition for the TouchCenter. 
For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, 
your alarm system may be configured with four partitions. Each 
apartment’s zones (door, windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned 
to separate partitions, giving each apartment independent 
arming/disarming control of its own partition (area).  A landlord or 
manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control 
the entire system. 
If a user is so authorized, a TouchCenter or other keypad in one 
partition can be used to perform system functions in another 
partition. (Note that only those partitions authorized and 
programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.) 
To check the status of other partitions perform the following: 
1.  From the Hom e screen, press the SECURITY button.  The Arming screen  
is displayed.
 
SCREEN   ACTION 
2. Press the Current Partition tab (lower 
edge of the screen; in this case it displays 
Main H).  The User Authorization screen 
is displayed with the instructions “For 
Authorized Partitions, Enter Code”. 
  
						

							Security System Operation (Contd) 
27 
SCREEN   ACTION 
3.  Enter the code authorized to access 
other partition(s).   
If the code is accepted, the system 
displays the partitions that user has 
access to.   
Note:  A code may have access to some 
or all of the available partitions. 
This screen displays the available 
partitions (in this case, Partitions 1 (Main), 
2, and 3), and their current status.   
The current partition is shown at the top of 
the display (in this exam ple, the device is 
attached to Partition 1 (Main H).  To 
change this assignment, select the 
appropriate button (e.g. press P2 to 
switch control to Partition 2). 
Note: After leaving this screen when 
using a residential panel, the selected 
partition in the TouchCenter will 
automatically revert back to the 
TouchCenter’s home partition after two 
minutes. When using commercial panels, 
you must select the TouchCenter’s hom e 
partition to return to it.

Fire Alarm System Operation  
Introduction to Fire Alarm System Operation 
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing 
continuous protection.  In the event of an emergency, the installed 
smoke and heat detectors will automatically send signals to your 
Control/Communicator, triggering a loud interrupted sound from the 
keypad.  An interrupted sound will also be produced by optional 
exterior sounders.  A FIRE message will appear at your keypad and 
remain 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. 
Silencing and Clearing a Fire Alarm 
1. Silence, acknowledge, and clear the alarm by: 
a. For Residential Systems: Press “Touch here to Silence” on 
the display to silence the alarm.  
For Commercial Systems: Enter your code. This will 
silence and acknowledge the alarm and disarm the system (if 
armed). 
b. Press the CLEAR button followed by your code. This will 
acknowledge the alarm and disarm the system (if armed). 
c. Press the DISPLAY FAULTS button on the Arming screen. 
The faulted fire zone will be displayed. 
d. Press the CLEAR button and then enter your code. This will 
clear the Fire Alarm from the system.  
2. If the keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the 
second sequence, press the DISPLAY FAULTS key on the Arming 
screen to display the zone(s) that are faulted.  Be sure to check 
that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or heat
