entry delay in the ASLEEP mode. If you forget and come home late one night, the security system will be on, but the entry delay will allow you to turn it off before the interior sounder comes on.

BUTTONS

A powerful feature of the Model 1503 is the ability to program BUTTONS. A BUTTON is a number on the keypad, 0 - 200, that is pro- grammed to run a series of commands when it is pressed. (In computer jargon this is called a MACRO.) Buttons are used to program func- tions that are specific to your home and life-style. Using a but- ton, you can activate several com- mands at once.

Following are some examples of Buttons:

Leave for Work (Button 1):

-turn off all lights

-turn on the energy saver

-arm the security system in the AWAY mode

Dinner for Two (Button 2)

-dim the dining and living room lights

-turn on the porch light

-turn off all the bedroom lights

-dim the den light

-turn on the stereo

Go to Bed (Button 3):

-turn off all lights

-dim outdoor lights 20% to extend bulb life and reduce consumption

-arm security in ASLEEP mode

Watch TV

-dim the den lights

-turn off the bedroom and living room lights

-arm security in HOME mode

To activate a preprogrammed but- ton, press its number, then ENTER (i.e. 1, ENTER). Remember to look for “SYSTEM OK” on the display before using a macro to arm the security system.

For extra convenience, certain buttons are automatically activated when you change security modes, or when security zones open and close. This powerful feature allows you to set your system up so that home control functions are performed when you arm your security system (such as turning off all lights and setting back the HVAC system).Door contacts and motion detectors can be used to turn on lighting auto- matically, then turn it off a few minutes after the person has left, and then only if it’s dark.

PROGRAMMING BUTTONS

For each command that a button will activate, you enter a program linking the command with the button that activates it. There can be as many programs for one button as you like, up to the memory limit of 255 programs.

The procedure for programming a button is:
