System Overview  
Introduction to Your System  
This system offers you burglary protection and may offer fire, carbon 
monoxide and emergency protection.  Monitoring is accomplished 
with various contact and motion sensors for perimeter and interior 
burglary protection, plus the system may have strategically placed 
smoke, heat, carbon monoxide or combustion detectors.  
Burglary Protection 
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or 
armed before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system 
provides three modes of burglary protection: Away, Stay, and Night, 
and even allows you to “bypass” selected zones of protection while 
leaving the rest of the system armed (e.g. this enables you to arm the 
system but leave upper-story windows open.)  
The system also provides a Chime mode in all keypads, and Voice 
mode, for alerting users to the opening and closing of doors and 
windows even while the system is disarmed. 
Partitions 
This system may be configured to arm and disarm more than one 
area, each as if it had its own control.  These areas are called 
partitions.  Partitions are used when the user wants to disarm certain 
areas while leaving other areas armed, or to limit access to certain 
areas to specific individuals.  Each user of the system can be 
authorized to operate all or only some partitions, and can be given 
different privileges in each.  Information about Partitions is 
presented later in this document.  
Zones 
Your systems sensing devices have been assigned to various zones. 
For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have 
been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master 
bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers will appear on the 
display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed), 
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs. 
Entry/Exit Delays 
Your system has preset time delays, referred to as exit delay and 
entry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you  
						

							 
System Overview (Contd)

time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an 
alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering any arming 
command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. If 
programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay 
period. Additionally if programmed, a rapid beeping may sound 
during the final 10 seconds of the exit delay period. 
Note:  On some systems, pressing the Voice Status Icon restarts the 
exit delay. Refer to your control panel User Guide to see if this is 
applicable on your system. 
Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you enter 
through the designated entrance door. But the system must be 
disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. 
The keypad will beep during the entry delay period, reminding you to 
disarm the system. Ask your installer about the delay times 
programmed into your system. 
Alarms 
When an alarm occurs, the TouchCenter (and any other keypads) and 
external sounders will sound, and the zone(s) causing the alarm are 
displayed. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, 
an alarm message will also be sent.  To stop the alarm sounding, 
simply disarm the system. 
Memory of Alarm 
When an alarm condition occurs, the number(s) of the zone(s) that 
caused the problem are displayed, along with the type of alarm. These 
remain displayed until cleared.   
Note:  If you change screens, the alarm in memory can be viewed and 
cleared by selecting the Display Faults button on the Arming Screen. 
Fire Protection 
The optional fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is 
always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected.  
Note:  If a fire or smoke detector develops a low battery, a “Fire 
Maintenance” message is displayed. To determine which zone is 
causing the problem, go to “Display Faults” to determine which zone 
has the low battery indication. 
Carbon Monoxide Protection 
The optional carbon monoxide protection portion of your security 
system (if used) is always on and will sound an alarm if a carbon 
monoxide condition is detected.   
						

							 
System Overview (Contd) 
13 
Note: If a carbon monoxide detector develops a low battery, a 
“Carbon Monoxide Maintenance” message is displayed. To determine 
which zone is causing the problem, go to “Display Faults” to 
determine which zone has the low battery indication. 
User Codes 
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user 
code in order to gain access to various features and functions. Users 
for the system are programmed in a central user setup location that 
provides the specific questions for authorization level, partition 
assignment, and RF button assignment. 
Extended Functionality 
Extended functions are advanced functions that can be accessed 
through a standard alpha keypad or through the console emulation 
mode on your TouchCenter touch screen.  Refer to your Control Panel 
User Guide for these features. 
LED Operation 
The TouchCenter has three LEDs labeled - ARMED, READY and 
MESSAGE. The ARMED LED is red, READY LED is green and 
MESSAGE LED is yellow. Each LEDs on and off state has different 
meanings as described below.  
LED DESCRIPTION 
*ARMED   ON – Security system is armed. 
OFF – Security system is not armed. 
*READY 
 ON – Sec urity s ystem is dis armed and ready to arm. 
OFF – Sec urity s ys tem is armed or dis armed but not ready. If 
dis armed, faults or troubles are pres ent. 
MESSAGE 
(Voice models 
only)  
 
FLASHING – The s ys tem c ontains new mess age(s) f or the 
User 
OFF – No new messages. 
*Note: If the EN50131 Display feature is enabled, the Armed and 
Ready status LEDs turn OFF until a valid user code is entered. 
Safe Mode 
The TouchCenter contains a Safe Mode of operation. In the rare event 
that the TouchCenter cannot successfully communicate in its graphic 
mode with the control panel, the Safe Mode is a backup mode that 
ensures that you can communicate with your system.

3.  As applicable, take corrective action 
such as closing a window or door to 
correct the fault. If the fault cannot be 
corrected, you may choose to bypass a 
zone by touching the zone to select it and 
pressing the BYPASS SELECTED  button 
or bypass all faulted zones by pressing 
the BYPASS ALL  button.

How to Bypass Zones 
The Bypass function is used when you want to arm your system with 
one or more zones left open. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will 
not cause an alarm when violated while your system is armed.  
 
•
  Residential systems will not allow you to bypass fire, carbon 
monoxide or emergency zones. On commercial systems, a specified 
user may be allowed to bypass fire, carbon monoxide and system 
zones if the user was enabled by your system installer. 
•   To bypass zones, the system must be disarmed first. 
•   Limits apply as to how many zones can be bypassed at one time. 
These limits are ten zones on residential systems and five zones on 
commercial systems.
