System Overview (Continued)

Zones and Partitions

•The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,” which are specific areas of protection (e.g., front door, kitchen window, etc.).

•Zone numbers are displayed at the keypad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor.

•Partitions (FA168CPS) provide two independent areas of protection, with each partition containing a group of zones that can be armed and disarmed without affecting other zones or users.

•Partitioned systems (FA168CPS) can include a common zone area, which is an area shared by users of both partitions (such as a lobby in a building).

Arming, Step-Arming and Disarming Burglary Protection

•The system must be armed before the burglary protection can sense intrusions.

•To arm your system, enter your user code followed by the desired arming key.

•If programmed, you can press the [#] key in place of your security code when arming the system (e.g., instead of entering your 4-digit security code + [3-STAY] to arm the system in STAY mode, you can press [#] + [3-STAY]).

•You can use the step-arming key, if programmed, to arm the system, which lets you arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly.

•To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the [OFF] key.

Alarms

•When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and the keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm.

•If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station, an alarm message is also sent. (Delayed Reporting Note: Message reporting is delayed 30 seconds by default to reduce false alarms. If desired, this delay can be removed or can be increased to 45 seconds. See your installer if you want the delay time changed.)

•To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

Memory of Alarm

•When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm (e.g., “FIRE”).

•The message remains displayed even after disarming the system, but can be cleared with another “off” sequence.

Function Keys

•The “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D” keys on the keypad can be programmed to perform various functions.

•Functions include: activate a Panic alarm; arm the system; provide step arming; switch lights on/off; send a message to a pager; display Time/Date; start a Macro.

Scheduling

•Your system can be programmed to automatically perform certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time each day.
