INTRODUCTION

This manual is furnished to help you understand your security system and become proficient in its operation. All users of your security system should read and follow the instructions in this booklet and, if possible, practice on the keypad control while your professional installer is on site. Failure to do so could result in the security system not working properly. Please keep this booklet in an accessible location for the life of the security system. If you do not understand any part of this manual you should notify your installing company.

The SECURITY CONTROL PANEL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by entering a 4 or 6 digit code into the keypad control, which is similar to a telephone keypad. If your security control panel has been so programmed, you may be able to turn on (ARM) your system by simply pressing the [STAY] or [EXIT] key. The system must always be disarmed using a 4 or 6 digit code.

The LED keypad includes up to 35 lights and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific information relating to the status of the security system which is described in the booklet. Understanding what the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system.

Keep in mind, the level of security you will obtain with this system relates specifically with two major factors:

1.The quantity, quality and placement of security devices attached to this system.

2.The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is utilized in a weekly test of the complete system.

You should be aware of the following facts when preparing a safety/security plan for your home/business:

1.Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure or malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security.

2.Your system should be tested weekly.

3.Your system will not work without power.

4.Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly placed to provide notification of an alarm event.

5.Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations.

6.Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security system.

7.It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery connected. Your periodic test should be done with AC Power removed to verify the battery is connected and adequately charged.

8.Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the AC transformer after testing.

Please read the following information and instructions carefully before operating your security control system.
