SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Professional Partitioned Security System. You've made a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection technology today. This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency. To realize the system's full potential, it is important that you feel comfortable in operating it.

Your system consists of at least one Keypad which provides full control and display of system operation, various sensors which provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early warning in case of fire.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor system status and initiate alarms for all protection zones. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station.

A partitioned system shares one physical alarm system among different users, each with their own requirements. For the most part, you as a user need not know about other users of the system, but from time to time, you may see display messages which indicate the system is in use by another user. Do not be concerned, this is normal. Refer to the ACCESSING OTHER PARTITIONS section for additional information.

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers will appear on the display, along with an alpha descriptor for that zone (if programmed and using analpha keypad), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
