Alarm System

ARMING THE SYSTEM

There are two basic armed modes for the alarm system, Home and Away.

When the system is armed in the Home mode, it ignores all motion detectors
and other interior sensors and responds to only door/window sensors.  This
lets you move around your home without accidentally setting off the alarm.

Note:  The system assumes all door/window sensors are perimeter sensors.
       If you install a door/window sensor on an interior door, the alarm
       sounds when the sensor is violated, even if the system is armed in
       the Home mode.

When the system is armed in the Away mode, it responds to all types of
sensors.

You can arm the alarm system from the base or the remote control.

Arming the System from the Base

Follow these steps to arm the system from the base.

1.  Press HOME or AWAY to select the armed mode.
    The indicator for the selected button flashes.

2.  Enter your personal access code.  (See "Setting Your Personal Access
    Code" (Faxback Doc. # 8919). The base sounds a brief tone.

Notes:

  If you arm the system in the Away mode, the 30-second exit delay timer
  begins counting, and the ZONE and STATUS indicators flash.  You must exit
  your home and close the door before the delay time ends.  Otherwise, the
  system arms while you are still in your home.  When the system arms, the
  ZONE and STATUS indicators light steadily

  If you connect a plunger switch, a motion detector, or other interior
  sensor to the door/window transmitter, the base's alarm sounds when the
  system is violated while armed in the Home Mode.  See "Adding Optional
  Devices" (Faxback Doc. # 8921).

ARMING THE SYSTEM FROM THE REMOTE CONTROL

You can arm the system from the remote control in much the same as from the
base.  Press and hold down HOME or AWAY on the remote control.  When the
base sounds a brief tone, release the button.

Note:  The base does not respond to the remote control within 10 seconds
       after you press a key on the base.

BYPASSING ZONES

If you try to arm the system when a zone is violated, an error tone
sounds, and the STATUS indicator, the indicator for the violated zone, and
the BYPASS indicator flash.  You can bypass the violated zone so you can
arm the system.  To Do so, press BYPASS on the base and enter your personal
access code.  The BYPASS indicator lights and the system arms normally.
You can bypass all 16 zones

Notes:

  All violated zones are unprotected when you press BYPASS.  Therefore,
  before you press BYPASS, verify which zones are violated by lifting the top
  cover of the base and checking all zone indicators for violated status.
  The zone indicators for the bypassed zones flash slowly to show you which
  zones are bypassed.  This helps ensure that you do not accidentally bypass
  a zone you want to protect.

  The bypassed zone becomes active again the next time you arm the system.

  If you want to abruptly cancel the arming sequence to check on a faulty
  zone, press CANCEL.  If you do not press either BYPASS or CANCEL within 20
  seconds after you try to arm the system, the system automatically becomes
  disarmed.

  You can bypass zones only from the base.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

When the system is triggered, the alarm sounds for about 5 minutes or until
you disarm the system.  You can disarm the system from the base or remote
control.

To disarm the system from the base, enter your personal access code.  The
STATUS indicator changes from red to green.  If you enter your home while
the system is armed in the Away mode, a 45-second entrance delay starts to
count when you open the door.  The base sounds a short tone to reopen the
door.  The base sounds a short tone to remind you that you must disarm the
system before the delay time ends; otherwise, the alarm sounds.

To disarm the system from the remote control, press DISARM on the remote
control until the base sounds a short double beep.

VIOLATION INDICATORS

If you disarm the system after a violation occurs, the indicator for the
violated zone continues to slowly flash, even if the violation no longer
exists.  This shows you a violation occurred during your absence.

Press CANCEL to clear the flashing zone indicator.

Notes:

  If there is a problem with the zone's transmitter, the indicator
  continues to flash.

  If violation transmissions of two or more transmitters overlap, the base
  might not receive some or all of the transmissions.  (This could occur if
  two transmitters are mounted close to each other and one is violated
  immediately after the other.)  If this happens, the base does not display
  the correct status of the transmitters.  To display the correct status,
  disarm the base and press TEST on the transmitters, or violate and then
  immediately unviolate the transmitters.  You can also wait for the
  transmitters to automatically update their status (about once every hour).

USING THE PANIC ALARM

You can use the alarm system as an intrusion panic alarm.  The panic alarm
operates in any mode except the Test mode.  When you trigger the panic
alarm, the system automatically sounds the alarm and arms in the Home mode.
You must disarm the system in the same way as with a normal zone violation.

You can Trigger the panic alarm in two ways:

*  Press LEARN and CODE on the base at the same time

*  Press PANIC/TEST on the door/window transmitter.

USING THE DAY MODE

Your alarm system's Day mode lets you monitor the doors of your home while
you are in or near your home.

When you enable the Day mode, the base, sounds a short tone any time a door
protected by a door/window transmitter opens or closes.  This lets you know
when someone enters or leaves your home, without sounding a full alarm.

To enable the Day mode, disarm the system and press DAY.  The DAY indicator
lights to show you the Day mode is enabled.

Note:  The Day mode functions only while the system is disarmed.  If you
       arm the system, the DAY indicator lights again to show you the Day
       mode is still enabled.

To disable the Day mode, press DAY while the system is disarmed.  The DAY
indicator turns off.

USING THE FIRE ALARM

You can increase your fire protection by using the supplied smoke alarm
siren detector.  If a smoke alarm sounds within the range of the siren
detector, the detector sends a signal to the base.  The base recognizes the
signal as a fire alarm.  The FIRE indicator and the assigned zone
indicators flash and the fire alarm sounds.

To silence the fire alarm , press CANCEL.  The FIRE indicator continues to
flash to show the status of the smoke alarm siren detector.  If the
detector no longer detects the smoke alarm's siren, the FIRE indicator
turns off.

Note:  The smoke alarm siren detector does not monitor for smoke or
       combustion particles.  It only detects the audible alarm siren from
       a UL-listed smoke detection device.  You must use a smoke-detection
       device with the siren detector.
