X10 Wireless Technology DS7000 manual Using the Security System, Console Zone Indicators

Using the Security System

Console Zone Indicators

The console displays the status of the first eight zones. These indicators can display four states, as follows:

Steady on - means that particular door or window is open.

Steady off - means that particular door or window is closed.

Slow Flashing - means that particular Door/Window Sensor or Motion Detector is reporting a problem, low battery for example.

Fast Flashing - means that particular Door/Window Sensor or Motion Detector reported a problem and the fault was bypassed, or the door or window is open and has been bypassed.

Battery Light - Indicates battery in the Console is low and needs replacing.

Armed Light - Indicates the unit is armed and ready to activate.

All Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors report in to the Console every 90 minutes. If the Console does not receive a signal from the sensor within four hours, it reports a problem with that sensor by slowly flashing the appropriate zone indicator. If you try to arm the system with a zone indicator flashing, the Console sounds a repetitive trouble alarm. Either press DISARM, correct the problem and press ARM again, or press BYPASS while the trouble alarm is sounding, then press ARM. The zone(s) with a problem will not be armed and the zone indicator(s) will flash rapidly. All other zones will arm.

If you bypass an open window and arm the system, and later close the window, that zone will now be armed.

Arming and Disarming the System

When you arm the system in the RUN1 or RUN2 mode, and open a door or window the following happens:

•A loud (95db) siren sounds for 4 minutes.

•Lights connected to Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules flash on and off.

•The automatic dialer calls the telephone numbers programmed into the console and plays back the recorded message.

When armed, RUN 1 and RUN 2 modes are the same - opening a door or window trips the alarm. When the system is in the RUN 2 mode and not armed, the console sounds a pleasant chime when you open a door or window, or when the motion detector senses motion. In RUN 1 mode there are no chimes.

Using the Security System

INSTANT Mode

Note: The Key Chain Remote always arms the system in the INSTANT mode.

1.If using the Handheld Remote, set its Delay switch to MIN.

2.Press ARM. The Console emits two tones and the ARMED indicator turns on.

Open a door or window, the alarm instantly trips, the siren sounds, lights connected to Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules flash on and off, and the dialer dials out.

3.Press DISARM to stop the siren. The lights remain on.

4.Press LIGHT OFF on the remote control to turn off lights connected to modules which you set to the same House Code and Unit Code as the Console.

DELAY Mode

1.Set the Delay switch on the Handheld Remote to MAX.

2.Press ARM on the remote. Lamps connected to Modules set to the same House Code and Unit Code as the Console turn on. The console chimes for 1 minute while you leave the house. Then you hear a beep signifying that the system is armed, and the lamps(s) turn off.

Open a door (that has its sensor set to MAX), The console gives a pre-alarm beep, and lamps connected to modules set to the same House Code and Unit Code as the Console turn on. After a delay of approximately 30 seconds the alarm sounds, Lamp and Wall Switch Modules flash, and the automatic dialer calls the first telephone number and plays back the recorded message.

3. Press DISARM to stop the siren. The lights remain on.

ARM HOME/ARM AWAY

The Handheld Remote lets you arm the system with or without Motion Detectors armed.

If you press ARM AWAY on the Handheld Remote, all Door/Window Sensors AND Motion Detectors will be armed.

If you press ARM HOME on the Handheld Remote, ONLY Door/Window Sensors will be armed. Motion Detectors will NOT be armed. This lets you arm the system at night without accidentally tripping the system yourself when you move around the house.

The MIN/MAX switch on the Handheld Remote lets you set it to arm the system with or without an exit/entry delay. When set to MIN everything in the system will arm and trip instantly. When set to MAX Motion Detectors and Door/Window Sensors will have a 1 minute exit and 30 sec. entry delay.

Arming Without a Remote

You can arm the system without using a Remote by pressing the ARM button on the Console. Arming this way will ALWAYS arm the system in the Delay mode.
