SYSTEM OVERVIEWGeneral Congratulations on your ownership of an Ademco Partitioned

Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, forit represents the latest in security protection technology today.Ademco is the world's largest manufacturer of security systemsand millions of premises are protected by Ademco systems.

This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fireand emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it isimportant that you feel comfortable in operating it. Your systemconsists of at least one keypad which provides full control ofsystem operation, various sensors which provide perimeter andinterior burglary protection, plus a selected number of strategicallyplaced smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide earlywarning in case of fire.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor allprotection zones and system status, initiates alarms andprovides appropriate information for display on the keypad(s)used with the system. Your system may also have beenprogrammed to automatically transmit alarm or status messagesover the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.

A PartitionedSystem

Simply stated, a partitioned system shares one physical alarmsystem among different users, each with their own requirements.For the most part, you as a user need not know about otherusers and their structure in the system, but from time to time, youmay see display messages which indicate the system is in useby another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to theACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additionalinformation.

Zones Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various"zones." For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit doormay have been assigned to zone 001, sensing devices onwindows in the master bedroom to zone 002, and so on. Thesenumbers will appear on the display, along with an alphadescriptor for that zone (if programmed), when an alarm or troublecondition occurs.

SYSTEM OVERVIEWFire Protection The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is

always on and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected.Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for importantinformation concerning fire protection, smoke detectors andplanning emergency exit routes from your house.

BurglaryProtection

The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned onor "armed" before it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Yoursystem provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY,AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and even allows you toBYPASS selected zones of protection while leaving the rest ofthe system armed. The system also provides a CHIME mode, foralerting users to the opening and closing of doors and windowswhile the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of thismanual for procedures for using these features.The following table lists the four different arming modes and theresults of each.

Arming Features For Each Arming ModeMode Exit Entry Perimeter Interior

Delay Delay Armed ArmedAWAY Yes Yes Yes YesSTAY Yes Yes Yes NoINSTANT Yes No Yes NoMAXIMUM Yes No Yes Yes

Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounderswill sound, and the keypad will display the first zone causing thealarm. 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 keypad displays the numberof the first zone that caused the problem, and displays the typeof alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). To view any other zones thatsensed an alarm during the same incident, press the ✴ key. Thedisplay will cycle through these zones once, stopping again onthe first zone to sense the alarm. The display remains until it iscleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THESYSTEM section).

SYSTEM OVERVIEWSpeed Keys

(Macros)The system can store 4 strings of up to 32 keystrokes perpartition, which can be activated anytime by simply pressing the"A" , "B", "C", or "D" key. This feature can be used to make iteasy to perform a complicated procedure (such as going toanother partition to bypass a zone), or it can be used to simplifyan everyday, repeated procedure. Refer to the SPEED KEYSsection for procedures for using this feature.

Using Schedules Your system may have been programmed with schedules forautomatically arming, disarming and activating various devicesand/or performing other system functions at predetermined times.Users can modify some of these schedules by manually delayinga closing time, using temporary schedules, or by programmingspecial user schedules. Refer to the USING SCHEDULESsection for scheduling related procedures.

Device Timers The system provides up to 20 "timers" which can be used tocontrol various devices, such as lights or appliances. Thesetimers are similar in concept to the individual appliance timers thatmight be purchased at a department store. The devices that canbe controlled are programmed into the system by the installer.Up to 16 of these devices can be programmed. Refer to thePROGRAMMING DEVICE TIMERS section for procedures.

To AccessAnother Partition(GOTO Command)

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes,and will show only that partition's information. But, if the user isauthorised, a keypad in one partition can be used to performsystem functions in another partition by using the G O T Ocommand. Note that only those partitions authorised andprogrammed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.To GOTO another partition, enter your security code, then press✱ followed by the desired partition number (1-8).

The keypad will remain in the new partition until directed to go toanother partition, or until 120 seconds has elapsed with nokeypad activity. Entering partition number 0 will return the keypadto its original partition.

– 6 –

SYSTEM OVERVIEWMaster Keypad

OperationA "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions isdisplayed simultaneously. A user can get more information abouta certain partition by simply entering ✱ + the desired partitionnumber (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using theGOTO command, a user must have access to all partitions.

Self-Help Feature Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system that canbe easily viewed on the alpha keypad's message displayscreen. This feature will prove particularly useful if this manual isnot conveniently accessible when you need to perform a systemprocedure with which you are not familiar.

To view the abbreviated instructions:Simply press and hold down the function key of interest untilthe description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and thenrelease it.

Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section fordescriptions of each key function.

Phone Access &Voice Response

Capability

Your system may include a 4285 VIP module that will permit youto access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access feature willenable you to do the following:

• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephoneregarding the status of the security system.

• Arm and disarm the system and perform most functioncommands via the telephone, with voice confirmation providedafter each command entry.

• Control 4204 relays/Powerline Carrier devices through the #70Manual Relay Activation mode.

Complete information regarding the use of this feature is providedin a separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'SGUIDE, which accompanies the 4285 VIP module.

FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPADSGeneral

IMPORTANT: If thekeypad beeps rapidly

upon entering thepremises, it indicates

that an alarm hasoccurred during your

absence. LEAVEIMMEDIATELY and

CONTACT THE POLICEfrom a nearby safe

location.

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. Thekeypads feature a telephone style (digital) keypad and a 2-line,32 character, alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) whichshows the nature and location of all occurrences. These keypadscan display system messages in the local language. Abbreviateduser's instructions can also be displayed (see Self Helpparagraph in the SYSTEM OVERVIEW section). These keypadscan also be programmed with custom zone descriptors. Keypaddisplay back lighting is programmable to always stay on or tolight only when a key is pressed, then turn off a few minuteslater.

The keypads also feature a built-in sounder which will soundduring alarms and troubles. It will also "beep" during certainsystem functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, duringCHIME mode, and when depressing keys to arm and disarm thesystem (to acknowledge the key press). These sounds can beoptionally suppressed in some of your keypads (so as not todisturb other users of the system). Ask your installer if this hasbeen done.

ENTRY/EXIT DELAYSGeneral

InformationYour system has preset time delays, known as exit delay andentry delay. Whenever you arm your system, exit delay givesyou time to leave through the designated exit door without settingoff an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after entering anyarming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection. Ifprogrammed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delayperiod, becoming more rapid during the last 5 seconds of thedelay period.

Entry Delay gives you time to disarm the system when youreenter through the designated entrance door. But the systemmust be disarmed before the entry delay period ends, or an alarmwill occur. The keypad will beep during the entry delay period,reminding you to disarm the system. You can also arm the systemwith no entry delay at all by using either INSTANT or MAXIMUMarming modes. These modes provide greater security while onthe premises or while away for extended periods of time. Seeyour installer for your delay times.

DISPLAYING ALL

ZONE DESCRIPTORSUsing the ✱

READY Key

The Alpha Keypads can also display all the zone descriptors thatare programmed in your system. The abbreviated instructions forthe R E A D Y key will appear first, followed by the zonedescriptors. Displaying all descriptors is useful when you need toknow the zone number of a particular zone, as when bypassingzones.

The "Disarmed-Ready to arm" message must be displayedbefore zone descriptors can be displayed.

READY

Press the ✱ key and hold down for at least 5 seconds.

– 11 –

CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONESUsing the ✱

READY Key

Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows andother protection zones should be closed or bypassed (seeBYPASSING section). Otherwise the keypad will display a "NotReady" message. Using the READY key will display all zonesthat are faulted, making it easier for you to secure any openzones.Note that your installer can set up your system to allow you toarm the system even though an exit route i s faulted at the timeof arming. The exit route must be closed by the time the exitdelay expires, or the system will go into alarm.

The installer can also program your system to NOT go into alarmif an exit route is still open at the end of the normal exit delay time,but instead will automatically bypass the faulted zone and armthe rest of the system. This may prevent false alarms when people are slow to close an exit route door(s).Check with your installer to determine the options programmed inyour system.To show faulted zones:

DISARMED - PRESS✴ TO SHOW FAULTS

Note: Keypads also light a green LED if allprotection zones are secure. If not lit, thesystem can only be armed if the zones thatare NOT READY are on the exit route.Otherwise, zones that are NOT READY mustbe made secure or bypassed.

READY

1. Do not enter security code, but simply press ✱ key.

FAULT 005 FRONTUPSTAIRS BEDROOM Typical fault display

2. DISARMEDREADY TO ARM

The "Ready" message will be displayed†

when all protection zones have beeneither closed or bypassed.

† NOTE: All or part of this message may bereplaced by a customised messageprogrammed by the installer. Bear this in mindwhenever the instructions indicate that the

"DISARMED" or "READY" message will bedisplayed.

IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on,DO NOT enter the premises, but call the police from a nearbysafe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and themain sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidlyupon entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during yourabsence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICEfrom a nearby safe location.

To disarm the system and silence burglary or fire alarms:OFF


DISARMEDREADY TO ARM

2. The Ready message will be displayed (if no alarms haveoccurred while armed) and the keypad will beep once toconfirm that the system is disarmed.

Memory of Alarm The keypad displays the zone number and type of alarm for anyzone that has an alarm condition. These messages will remaindisplayed until cleared by a user. If an alarm has occurred, notethe zone number displayed on the keypad and repeat step 1above to clear the "Memory of Alarm" and restore the Readymessage display. If the Ready message will not display, go tothe displayed zone and remedy the fault (close windows, etc.). Ifthe fault cannot be remedied, notify the alarm agency.

If the system was armed when the alarm occurred, repeat step 1twice: once to disarm the system, a second time to clear thedisplay.

– 19 –

USING KEYSWITCHESGeneral Your system may be equipped with a spring loaded keyswitch

for use when arming and disarming. A red and green light on thekeyswitch plate indicate the status of your system as follows:

Green Light: Lights when the system is disarmed andready to be armed (no open zones). If thesystem is disarmed and the green light is off, itindicates the system is not ready (one or morezones are open).

Red Light: Lights when system is armed or memory ofalarm exists.

Lit Steady: System is armed in AWAY mode.

Slow Flashing: System is armed in STAY mode.

Rapid Flashing: Memory of alarm; an alarm has occurred .Arming To arm in the AWAY

mode, turn the key to theright for 1/2 second andrelease. Keypads will beeptwice and the red light willstay on steady.

SECURITY CODES

& AUTHORITY LEVELSGeneral

InformationAt the time of installation, you were assigned an authority leveland a personal four-digit security code, known only to you andyours. The security code must be entered when arming anddisarming the system. The authority level defines the systemfunctions that you can perform.

As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have aneed to know your code can be assigned different securitycodes, and each user can be given a different authority level.Users are identified by "user numbers", which are assigned whenassigning a user's security code.

All codes can be used interchangeably when performing systemfunctions within the limits of each code's authority level (a systemarmed with one user's code can be disarmed by another user'scode), with the exception of the Operator Level C code. SeeAUTHORITY LEVELS section on the following page for detailedinformation regarding user authority levels.

If more than 20 key presses are made within a 15 minute periodwithout entering a valid command sequence, the system willignore all subsequent key presses for the next 15 minutes.

Duress Code This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm orarm the system under threat. When used, the system will actnormally, but can silently notify the central station of yoursituation, if that service has been provided. The duress code ispre-assigned by the installer during installation (auth. level 6).

Important: This code is useful only when the system isconnected to a central station.

Quick Arming Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the# key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming

the system. The security code must always be used to disarmthe system, however.

SECURITY CODES

& AUTHORITY LEVELSAuthority Levels Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can

perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there arecertain system functions you may be prohibited from performing.In summary, there are six authority levels, each having certainsystem restrictions as shown below.

Level 1 Master: Can perform all system functions in assignedpartitions, and can add, delete, or changeManager and Operator users. Master codesare added by the Installer.

Level 2 Manager: Can perform system functions in assignedpartitions, and can add, delete, or changeOperator level users.

Level 3 Operator A: Can perform system functions in assignedpartitions, but cannot add or delete otherusers.

Level 4 Operator B: Same as Operator A, except Operator Bcannot bypass zones of protection.

Level 5 Operator C: Can arm the system in assigned partitions, butcannot disarm the system unless the systemwas armed with this code. This code is typicallyassigned to someone who has the need toarm/disarm the system only at certain times(such as a baby-sitter).

Level 6 Duress: Can arm and disarm the system, but alsosends a silent panic alarm to the centralstation, if that service is connected.

To view your authority level and system capabilities:1. Enter your code + ✱ + ✱ .2. The keypad will display the partition(s) that you are

authorised to operate, and your user number and authoritylevel in each partition.

SECURITY CODES

& AUTHORITY LEVELSGeneral Rules onAuthority Levels

and Changes

• A user may not delete or change the user code of the SAME orHIGHER authority than which he is assigned.

• A user may only ADD users to a LOWER authority level.• A user may assign access codes only to those partitions to

which the user adding the code has access. (ex. a user withaccess to only partition 1 cannot assign codes in partition 2.)

• The only way to assign a user's authority level is by using the"Add A User" procedure. To change a user's authority level,that user must first be deleted, then added again.

• A user can only be DELETED or CHANGED from within thepartition he is assigned.

• User numbers must be entered as 3-digit entries. single digituser numbers must be preceded by two zeros (example, 003,004, etc.). Security codes are entered as 4-digit numbers.

• Before assigning a security code, be sure it does not conflictwith any DURESS code.

Note: When adding, changing or deleting users, all other alphakeypads in that partition will display "User Edit Mode – PleaseStand By", and key depressions (except Panic) at thosekeypads will be ignored. Panic key depressions will cause analarm and terminate user entry.

To Exit User EditMode

You can exit any of the user edit modes described on thefollowing pages at any time by doing the following:

1. Press either ✱ or # , or don't press any key for 10 seconds.

2. System returns to normal mode.

ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS(GOTO Command and Global Arming)

To AccessAnother Partition

Each keypad is assigned a default partition for display purposes,and will show only that partition's information. But, if the user isauthorised, a keypad in one partition can be used to performsystem functions in other partitions by using the G O T Ocommand. Note that only those partitions authorised andprogrammed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.

To GOTO another partition: READY

1. Enter your security code, then press ✱ + partitionnumber (0-9).Entering partition number 0 will return the keypad to its originalpartition.

2. LOG-ON TO AAAAPART. X COMPLETE

The keypad will remain in the new partitionuntil directed to go to another partition, oruntil 2 minutes has elapsed with nokeypad activity.AAAA = alpha descriptor programmed bythe installerX = partition number

Global Arming The Global Arming option may have been programmed for useby some users. If Global Arming was enabled for use with yoursecurity code, a keypad prompt (message) will appear afterpressing one of the arming function keys (STAY, INSTANT,AWAY, MAXIMUM, OFF). Follow the keypad prompts to continuearming the system. See your installer for detailed instructions onthe use of this feature.If global arming does not apply to your security code, use theprocedures described in the following pages.

Master KeypadOperation

A "Master" keypad is one that reflects the status of the entiresystem (Partitions 1-8) on its display. This is useful because iteliminates the need for a security officer in a building to have to"log-on" to various partitions from one partition's keypad to findout where an alarm has occurred.A description of a typical display follows:

S Y S T E M 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8S T A T U S R R N N A ✴ B

The status of each partition is directly below the partition numberon the display. Possible status indications include:

A = Armed Away M = Armed MaximumS = Armed Stay I = Armed InstantR = Ready N = Not ReadyB = Bypassed/Ready ✴ = Alarm Memory/Trouble present

To obtain more information regarding a particular partition, enter ✴+ [Partition No.] (i.e., ✴4). This will allow viewing only of thatpartition. In order to affect that partition, the user must log on witha code that has access to that partition. Also, in order for a userof any partition to log onto the "Master" partition (Partition 9) toview the status of all partitions, that user must have access to allpartitions. Otherwise, access will be denied.The following is an example of what would be displayed for afault condition on Zone 2 (Loading Dock Window) on Partition 1(Warehouse) when logging on from a keypad on Partition 9:

WHSE DISARMEDHIT ✴ FOR FAULTS

This is the normal display that appears at Partition 1's keypad(s).Pressing ✴ will display:

Additional zone faults will be displayed one at a time. To displaya new partition's status, press ✴ + [Partition No.]. This willdisplay the status of the new partition.The "Armed" LED on a Master keypad will be lit only if allpartitions have been armed successfully. The "Ready" LED willbe lit only if all partitions are "ready to arm."The sounder on a Master keypad will reflect the sound of themost critical condition on all of the partitions. The priority of thesounds is as follows:

A. Pulsing fire alarm soundsB. Steady burglar alarm soundsC. Trouble sounds

The sounder may be silenced by pressing any key on theMaster keypad.

ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONSCommon AreaOperation

When an installation consists of a partition shared by usersof other partitions in a building, that shared partition may beassigned as the "common area" partition for the system. Anexample of this might be in a medical building where thereare two doctor's offices and a common entrance area.This option employs logic for automatic arming anddisarming of the common area. Partitions may be set toaffect and/or attempt to arm the common area. This will affectthe way the common area will react when arming ordisarming activity occurs in another partition.Partitions set to affect the common area will cause thefollowing to occur:

a. When the first partition that affects the common area isdisarmed, the common area will also be disarmed.

b. The common area cannot be armed unless every partitionselected to affect it is armed.

c. Arming the last partition that affects the common area willnot automatically attempt to arm the lobby.

Partitions set to arm the lobby will cause the following tooccur:

a. When the first partition that affects the common area isdisarmed, the common area will also be disarmed.

b. The common area cannot be armed unless every partitionselected to affect the lobby is armed.

c. Arming the last partition that is programmed to arm thecommon area will automatically attempt to arm the commonarea. If any faults exist in the common area partition, oranother partition that affects the common area is disarmed,the common area cannot be armed, and the message"UNABLE TO ARM PART" will be displayed.

The following chart sums up how the common lobby partition will operate.Partition Partition Arms Disarms when Attempts to arm Can be armed ifAffects Common Area partition disarms when partition other partitionsCommon Area arms disarmed

ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS

How User CodesAffect the CommonArea

Codes with "Global" ArmingIf your code is given "global arming" when it is defined thekeypad will ask "Arm all?" or "Disarm all?" whenever youtry to arm or disarm the partitions you have access to froman alpha keypad. This allows you to pick and choose thepartitions to be armed or disarmed, and so eliminates the"automatic" operation of the common area. Keep in mind,however, that if attempting to arm all, and another "affecting"partition is disarmed, you will not be able to arm the commonarea, and the message "UNABLE TO ARM COMMONAREA PART" will be displayed.

Codes with "Non-Global" ArmingIf arming with a non-global code, or if arming with a globalcode from a non-alpha keypad, the common area partitionoperation will be automatic, as described in the previoustable.

Other Methods of Arming/Disarming

When arming or disarming a partition that affects and/or armsthe common area in one of the following manners, commonarea logic remains active:• Quick-Arm• Keyswitch• Wireless Button• Wireless Keypad

USING SCHEDULES

Delaying theClosing Time

Your system's programmed schedules may automatically arm thesystem at a predetermined time. In the event a user must stay onthe premises later than usual, users with master or managerauthority levels can manually delay the automatic arming (closing)time up to 2 hours.To delay the closing time

1. Enter your security code (master or manager authoritylevels only).

2. Press the # key, followed by 82.3. A menu prompt will be displayed, asking for the number of

hours of delay.

CLOSING DELAY?HIT 0-2 HOURS

Enter the desired number of hours ofdelay, 1 or 2. The system willautomatically exit this mode after entry.

Note that the delay is from the scheduled closing time ,not from the time the command is entered.IMPORTANT: The selected delay cannot be reducedonce it is set. A 1 hour delay can be increased to 2 hours,though.

4. The system will automatically send a message to the centralstation informing them that the programmed schedule hasbeen changed.

PROGRAMMING DEVICE TIMERSGeneral

InformationDevice timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selecteddays of the week in which they are active. There are up to 20timers that can be used to control various devices, such as lightsor appliances. Your installer will have programmed theappropriate devices into the system (up to 16 devices can beprogrammed).Each timer controls a single device (designated as an outputnumber) that you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turnthe porch lights on at 7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer2 might turn on the air conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm tocool the premises before you arrive at 5:00pm, and turn it off at10:00pm when you are retiring for the night. If desired, differenttimers can control the same device.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEMTaking Care ofYour System

The components of your security system are designed to be asfree of maintenance as possible. However, there are some thingsyou can do to make sure that your system is in reliable workingcondition.1. Test your system weekly.2. Test the system after any alarm occurs (see TESTING THE

SYSTEM).Replacing

Batteries inWireless Sensors

Wireless sensorsmay not have been

used in your securitysystem

Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-voltbattery. The system detects a low battery in any wirelesssensor, including smoke detectors, the optional personalemergency transmitter, and the optional portable wirelesskeypad. (A low battery in a portable wireless keypad is detectedas soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the keypad willdisplay 000.)Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and inmost units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. Actualbattery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor isused, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor hashad to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such ashumidity, high or low temperatures or large swings in temperature,may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an installation.

If you have a low battery in a wireless sensor, a lowbattery message is displayed on the keypad.

In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low batteryalso emits a single "chirp" sound once approximately every 20-30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weakbattery. If you do not replace a smoke detector's low battery, thesmoke detector may sound continuously, as if there were a firealarm.Note: The low battery message comes on as a warning thatbattery replacement in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days.In the meantime, the sensor(s) causing the low battery indicationis still fully operational.Important: Use only batteries recommended by your installeras replacement.

MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEMSilencing Low

Battery WarningTones at the

Keypad

The keypad’s warning tones can be silenced by performing anOFF sequence (code plus OFF key), but the Keypad's lowbattery message display will remain on as a reminder that youhave a low battery condition in one or more of your sensors.When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensorwill send a "good battery" signal to the control as soon as thesensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.),causing the low battery display to turn off. If the sensor is notactivated, the display will automatically clear withinapproximately 1 hour.

Routine Care • Treat the components of your security system as you would anyother electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors orwindows.

• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protectivesensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors.

• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a drysoft cloth. Do not spray water or any other fluid on theunits.

IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS

In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect thecontrol by removing the plug from the RJ31X phone wall jack. Werecommend that your certified installer demonstrate disconnectingthe phones on installation of the system. Do not disconnect thephone connection inside the control/communicator. Doing so willresult in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phone workscorrectly after the control/communicator has been disconnectedfrom the phone lines, the control/communicator has a problem andshould be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of thecontrol/communicator, there is still a problem on the line, notify thetelephone company that they have a problem and requestprompt repair service. The user may not under any circumstances(in or out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs to thesystem. It must be returned to the factory or an authorisedservice agency for all repairs.

WARNING!THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection againstburglary or fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject tocompromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass

an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.• Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices

will not work without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries,or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC powersupply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.

• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarmreceiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if ametal object is moved into the path.

• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths, they may not activate or

provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires. Some of the reasons smokedetectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may havebeen improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smokecannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors.Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floordetector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors havesensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors maynot always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violentexplosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits,children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of thesmoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning toallow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.

• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed intheir installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They docreate multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered bythose beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors,closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting orspraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce theirdetection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambienttemperature of protected area approaches the temperature range of 32°C to 40°C the detectionperformance can decrease.

WARNING!THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM

(continued)• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are

located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level ofthe residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms.Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, airconditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, maynot warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.

• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may beout of service or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise bysophisticated intruders.

• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficienttime to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system,authorities may not respond appropriately.

• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipmentis designed to last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequatemaintenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters areworking properly.Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not asubstitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently inprotecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselvesand their loved ones to learn about these developments.
