When there’s an alarm

Using the system

When there’s an alarm

When the system is armed (in Home or Away mode) and you open a protected door or window, or walk past a Motion Detector (if armed in the Away Mode), or activate the Panic feature (by pressing Arm and Disarm at the same time on the Key Chain Remote) the alarm trips. The following then happens:

A loud siren sounds.

Lights (set to the two security codes) flash on and off (if you set up X10 Modules). See page 36.

The Console dials the first phone number you set up. It then starts to play the recorded message you stored. E.G. “There’s an alarm in progress at (your address), at the end of this message please press any button on your touch-tone phone to listen in.” Note, it might take a while before the person the Console called picks up the phone so they might miss the first part of your message, but the message is repeated 3 times, so they will get to hear the complete message.

When the person who was called answers the call and presses a button on their phone this activates a microphone in the Console and they will be able to listen in to you home, and will be able to determine if there is suspicious activity going on. They can then take action. E.G. call the Police for you.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT program the Console to call the Police directly.

NOTES:

The person who answers the phone needs to wait for a gap between the messages before they can press a button on their phone to listen in (the message repeats three times, but might have already played once or twice before the person answers the phone).

If no one answers the call (and presses a button on their phone) before the third message is played, the Console dials the next number stored. It can take quite a long time to dial all the numbers if you’ve stored 6 of them, and no one answers. But the siren stops sounding after 4 minutes in any case (the unit still dials all the numbers stored unless someone answers the call (and presses a button on their phone).

If the system is tampered with

If the system is armed and someone tampers with (opens the cover) on a Door/Window Sensor or the Console, the same thing happens as when the alarm is tripped by any other method. If the system is NOT armed and someone tampers with a Sensor or the Console, the word TAMPER appears in the display but the system does not trip. You must fix the tamper before you can arm the system. Press Arm then Disarm to remove the word TAMPER from the display.

Controlling Lights and Appliances

If you install one or more Lamp Modules (sold separately), see next page, you can control lights around your home from the Console. When the Console is in its normal state it displays HOME CONTROL in the display. When its in this state you can simply press the number button on the Console corresponding to the number set on the module and then press On or Off on the Console’s control panel to control the light connected to the module.

You can also control lights set to your Security LIGHTCODEs from the A and B buttons on the Key Chain Remote. The A buttons on the Key Chain Remote control lights connected to X10 Modules that are set to the Security LIGHTCODE you set in the Console. (See step 4 on page 26). The B buttons control modules set to the next sequential number. I.E. if you set your Security LIGHTCODE to 1, the A and B buttons on the Key Chain Remote will control X10 Modules that are set to Unit Codes 1 and 2. If your Security LIGHTCODE is 10, the A and B buttons will control Modules 10 and 11. If your Security LIGHTCODE to 16, the A and B buttons will control 16 and 1, etc.

Any lights set to your two Security LIGHTCODEs flash on and off when the alarm trips. They stay on after an alarm until you turn them off, either from the Console, or from the Key Chain Remote.

These lights also blink on for a second when the alarm is armed in the HOME Mode, or turn on for the exit delay time when the alarm is armed in the AWAY Mode.
