PLANNING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM

Before you set up your system, draw a security plan of your home.  This is
especially important if you install sensor transmitters to protect several
different zones.

If you live in an upstairs apartment, the front door might be the best
place to mount a door/window sensor transmitter.  If you live in a house or
downstairs apartment, you might want to cover a back door or window.

Your security system has three goals:

  To prevent loss by discouraging potential intruders.

  To scare intruders away before they can take your properly or break into
  your home.

  To alert ORCA that someone is breaking into your home.

To help accomplish these goals, you should:

  Post decals on doors and windows stating that your home is protected by a
  security system.  Monitored Alarm decals are included with your system.
  Additional decals (Cat. No. 49-507) are available at your local Radio
  Shack store.

  Choose a location for the console where it is not easily accessible or
  seen by intruders.

In addition, most police departments offer information that might be
helpful.  After making a preliminary plan, contact your local police
department to see if they offer guidelines or other services for planning
a home security system.

ASSIGNING SECURITY ZONES

A security zone is an area of protection covered by a single door/window
sensor transmitter, motion detector, or other sensing/transmitting device.
Your security console monitors up to 16 zones and alerts you if there is
a violation (see "Zone Indicators") on Faxback Doc. # 19416.

When you initialize your security system's sensor transmitters, the console
assigns a zone number to the sensor transmitter (see "Initializing the
Door/window Sensor Transmitters" on Faxback Doc. # 19416). The kit includes
numbered stickers you attach to each sensor transmitter to show its zone
number.

For your reference, make a record of which area of your home a zone covers.
For example, using the floorplan you drew, you could mark the front door
as "Zone 1."

REASSIGNING SECURITY ZONES

If you want to remove one accessory reassign an accessory to a zone
currently in use, or add an accessory when all zones are assigned, you
must completely reinitialize the system.

To reinitialize the system, set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 to INSTALL.  Then press
PANIC, ARM HOME, and ARM AWAY on the console at the same time. Reinitialize
all remote controls, door/window sensor transmitters, and motion detectors,
assigning each accessory to the desired zone.
