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: 
SCREEN ACTION 
  Enter your Code. The partition will be 
disarmed and the Arming screen is

After” time has expired.  This time is 
selected on the “Setup” screen. 
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 
P1H).  The User Authorization screen is 
displayed with the instructions “ For 
Authorized Partitions, Enter Code ”. 
 
 
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 ( P1H).  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 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 
producing objects in their vicinity.  In this 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.

further problems with your fire system. 
In Case of Carbon Monoxide Alarm 
1.   In the event of a carbon monoxide emergency, the CO detector 
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. EVACUATE ALL OCCUPANTS FROM THE 
PREMISES IMMEDIATELY. Notify your Central 
Station/Security Company immediately and wait for further 
instructions. 
Silencing and Clearing a Carbon Monoxide Alarm

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).

acknowledge the alarm and disarm the system (if armed). 
c. Press the  DISPLAY FAULTS  button on the Arming screen. 
The faulted carbon monoxide zone will be displayed. 
d. Press the  CLEAR button and then enter your code. This will 
clear the Carbon Monoxide 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 the carbon monoxide detectors are not responding to 
gas producing objects in their vicinity.  In this case, eliminate the 
source of the leak. 
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be gas in the 
detector.   
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering 
the  DISPLAY FAULTS  button on the Arming screen, selecting the

Console Emulation Mode 
Console Emulation Mode allows you to use a TouchCenter interface 
just as you would a regular system keypad.  All commands shown in 
Console Emulation mode can also be executed from a standard alpha 
keypad. 
Notes: 
•   It is recommended that you do not  use the Console Emulation 
Mode to enter GOTO commands. Unsatisfactory operation may 
result from issuing GOTO commands in Console Emulation. 
•   Two button panics (1 & *, 3 & #, and * & #) do not  function in the 
Console Emulation Mode. The A, B, C, and D buttons do function if 
programmed as panic keys. Check with your system installer for 
details. 
•   Commercial systems with Alpha keypads have a feature where if 
you press a key for 5 seconds, you will receive self help messages 
about the pressed key or holding the * key for 5 seconds will 
provide zone descriptors. These features do not function in the 
TouchCenter as all key presses are instantaneous.
