6\VWHP2YHUYLHZ&RQWLQXHG

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 touchpad when an alarm or trouble condition occurs on a sensor.

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

•Partition identification: 1 = partition 1; 2 = partition 2; 3 = common zone.

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.

•You can also use the step-arming key to arm the system, if programmed.

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

•Step-arming, if programmed, lets you use a function key to arm the system in one of three modes by simply pressing the key repeatedly, where:

first press arms STAY; second press arms NIGHT-STAY; third press arms AWAY.

Alarms

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

•If your system is connected to a Customer Care Center, 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 touchpad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm.

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