1. One Master Control Panel - This device
processes information sent to it by all the other
components of the system. When an alarm is
tripped, the master control panel interprets the
signal and sends a message to the Brink’s
Monitoring Center. This message is sent over
telephone lines. This panel also contains a backup
battery in case your home loses power. You should
not open the cover to the master control panel
unless instructed to do so by a Brink’s
representative.
2. One Keypad - This keypad is used to turn the
system on and off and to use other system options.
It also includes three emergency panic buttons -
police, fire, and medical (See note on page 7.),
which can be used if emergency assistance is
needed. When pressed, the police and fire buttons
will cause the siren to sound. When the medical
button is pressed, the keypad beeps, but the siren
does not sound. In all cases, an alarm signal is
sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. (Fire buttons
are not available in commercial installations.)
3. Three Door/Window Sensors - These sensors
are placed in or on the frame and body of each
door or window to be protected. If the protected
door or window is opened while the system is on,
an alarm will trip, and an alarm signal will be sent
to the Brink’s Monitoring Center.
4. One Motion Detector - This device is used to
detect motion on the inside of your house. If
someone enters the area covered by the motion
detector while the system is on, an alarm will trip,
and an alarm signal will be sent to the Brink’s
Monitoring Center.

5. One Siren - This device sounds a warning when
the alarm system is tripped. The siren is
designed to be located inside the house to
frighten intruders. It may also sound when using
other special features.
6. One Power Transformer - This device connects
the alarm system to the electricity in your home.
It is plugged into a regular electrical outlet.
7. One  RJ-Block  &  Dialer Cable Connection -
This device connects the alarm system to the
phone line in your home. The phone line is used
to send alarm signals to the Brink’s Monitoring
Center.
8. One “Protected by Brink’s Home Security” yard
sign - This high visibility sign warns potential
intruders that the premises is protected by a
Brink’s security system.
9. Window Stickers - You will be provided with
several “Protected by Brink’s Home Security”
window stickers. These stickers also warn
potential intruders that the premises is
protected by a Brink’s security system.
Optional Equipment
You may purchase additional keypads, door and/or window sensors, motion
detectors, and sirens to meet your desired security needs. The following
optional equipment is also available:
1. Smoke/Heat Detector - This device is  designed
to detect smoke and dangerously high heat.
(Not available in commercial installations)

2. Heat Sensor - This device detects dangerously
high heat. It is designed to be located in attics
and garages or near furnaces. (Not available in
commercial installations.)
3. Glass Breakage Detector - This device detects
the sound of breaking glass.  It is designed to
protect window areas.
4. Wireless Emergency Button - This hand-held
emergency button can be programmed to send
either a police emergency signal or a medical
emergency signal. When pushed, the button will
cause the system to contact the Brink’s
Monitoring Center, and in the case of police
alarms, sound the system’s siren.

Operating the Brink’s System
NORMAL OPERATION MODE
When the system is turned on, all interior and exterior intrusion sensors
are turned on allowing time to enter and exit designated doors.
Designated Entry/Exit Doors
Designated entry/exit doors should be only those doors you use most
frequently to enter and exit your home.
Upon entering a designated entry/exit door, the system will sound a tone
from the keypad as a reminder to turn the system OFF. A standard delay
period of 40 seconds allows time to enter a valid user code. If you do not
turn the system off during this delay period, the siren will sound and an
alarm signal will be sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. If this happens,
enter your user code, then press CANCEL to silence the siren and cancel
the alarm signal.
When turning the system ON, the system allows a standard delay period
of 80 seconds to exit and close a designated door. If you exit and securely
close your door within this delay period, the system will not sound the
siren or send an alarm signal to the Brink’s Monitoring Center. When ON,
the system is ready to detect intrusion in all protected areas.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON USING THE NORMAL OPERATING MODE
1. Before turning the system ON, close all doors and windows and verify
that the display window shows READY, (If NOT READY is displayed,
see page 7.)
2. Press ON.
3. The red ON light located on the upper left side of the keypad will begin
to flash, showing the system is ON and the delay period to exit has
begun.
4. The display will show ALL ON.
5. Exit promptly, (If the red ON light becomes steady, the standard 80
second delay period has expired. If you open a door now, the alarm
will trip. Turn the system off with your user code and start over.) 
						

							8
CAUTION: THE ZONE YOU BYPASSED WITH THIS PROCEDURE WILL
NOT BE PROTECTED. Please call Brink’s Customer Service at
1-800-445-0872 for assistance. Customer Service is available 24 hours a
day, seven days a week.
TURNING THE SYSTEM OFF
1. Enter by one of the designated doors. When you open the door,
the system will sound a tone to remind you to turn the system off.
2. Turn the system off by entering your user code. Each key will
sound a short beep when pressed.
3. The red ON light will go out when the system is turned OFF. You
must enter the proper code within the standard 40 second delay
period to prevent sounding an alarm.
NOT READY STATUS
a.    If the display window shows NOT READY and you press ON, the
pad will sound multiple tones to alert you that the system cannot
be turned on.
b.    The display window will show a two-digit number advising you of
an open zone. Refer to the pop-up zone card located at the top of
the keypad to verify the unsecured zone. Then secure the identified
door, window, or area.
c.    Check the display window again. If it now shows READY, proceed
to turn the system on.
d.    If the two-digit zone number still appears, press OPTIONS.
e.    The display window will show BYPASS, ENTER ZONE #.

TURNING SYSTEM OFF AND CANCELING A SOUNDING ALARM
1. Enter by one of the designated doors. When you open the door,
the system will sound a tone to remind you to turn the system off.

a short beep when pressed.

has tripped, do not press the CANCEL button. Simply turn the system off
using a valid user code and wait for the Brink’s Monitoring Center to call.

resulting in Brink’s notifying an emergency agency, which could result in a
false alarm fine. Be prepared to give your codeword when the Brink’s
operator calls. (You select the codeword at the time of your installation,
and it is written on your Emergency Information Schedule.)

tripped zone.

Service at 1-800-445-0872.  Customer Service is available 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
