How to Assign User Codes and Attributes 
The following lists the various command strings for adding user codes and attributes.  
Refer to the User Setup chart at the back of this manual for factory 
assignments of user attributes and to keep a record of user programming. 
Change System 
System Master code + [8] + 02 + new Master code + new code again   
Master Code The System Master code can be changed only by using the current 
System Master code or by the Installer using the Installer code  
(Installer code + [8] + 02 + new System Master code) 
 
Add User Code:  System Master code + [8] + user no. + new user’s code 
       User 01 = installer  User 03-16 = standard users 
    User 02 = master  (factory set master code is 1234) 
  The Keypad beeps once to confirm that new user was added.  
Delete User Code:  System Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [0] 
 The user code and all attributes programmed for this user number, 
including any associated RF keys, are erased from the system.  
 
Authority Level:  System Master code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [1]+ auth. level 
Factory Assignments: Authority Levels (see definitions on previous page): 
users 03-16 = 0  0 = standard user   2 = guest 
 1 = arm only   3 = duress   
Access Group: System Master Code + [8] + [user no.] + [#] [2]+ group (1-8) 
Factory Assignments: none You can assign users to a group, then set an access schedule that 
defines the times this group of users can operate the system. The 
system ignores these users outside the scheduled times. 
 
RF User Number: System Master Code +  [8] + [user no.]  + [#] [4]+ zone no. 
Factory Assignments: none Use this command to assign a wireless button device (keyfob) to this 
user (keyfob must be enrolled in system first; see installer). 
 Zone number: enter the zone number assigned to a button on the 
keyfob that will be used for arming/disarming by this user. 
 
Pager On/Off: System Master Code +  [8] + [user no.]  + [#] [5] + 0 or 1 
Factory Assignments: You can program a user so that a message is sent to a pager  
users 01-16 = 1 (on)  whenever this code is used to arm or disarm the system. 
  Paging On/Off: 1 = allow paging; 0 = no paging for this user

Scheduling 
 
About Scheduling 
The system provides one end-user schedule (programmable by master/installer only), 
which can control various types of events.  
• The schedule causes a defined event to start and stop (when appropriate) at a 
specified time.  
• The schedule can be set to automatically repeat at various intervals. 
• The schedule can be set for random starting, if desired.  
 
Creating Schedules 
1.             +  [#] + [6] [4] 
 (Master Code)

2. Enter “01” as the 2-digit schedule number.  
 Press [∗] to continue. ENTER SCHED NO. 
00=QUIT   00   
3. Enter the desired 2-digit event number from the 
following list.  
  00 = clear the scheduled event 
  01 = turn a programmed output on or off ENTER EVENT 
 
 
   (see Using Device Commands section for a list of output device numbers used 
in your system) 
  02 = set a user access schedule for one or more users 
(see Security Codes section for an explanation of access groups) 
  03 = send a “latch-key” report to a pager if the system is not disarmed by a specified 
time; message sent is “777-7777.” 
  04 = automatically arm the system in STAY mode at a specified time  
  05 = automatically arm the system in AWAY mode at a specified time  
  06 = automatically disarm the system at a specified time 
  07 = Display the word “REMINDER” at a specified time 
    (if selected, the keypad will beep every 30 seconds beginning when the word 
“REMINDER” is scheduled to display. To stop the beeps and cancel the display 
once it starts, simply press any key. 
 Press [∗] to continue.
   
4.  For event number “01,” enter the output number 
associated with this schedule. 
  Otherwise, this prompt is skipped.

9.  Enter the desired repeat option. 
  0 = no repeat 
  1 = repeat schedule weekly 
  2 = repeat schedule biweekly (every other week) 
  3 = repeat schedule every third week  
  4 = repeat schedule every fourth week 
  e.g., To make a schedule that happens everyday you 
would select all days with a repeat count of 1. To 
make a schedule that runs for one week then stops, 
select everyday with a repeat count of 0. REPEAT OPTION 
0-4 X 
  
10. For event number 01 (output on/off), select the 
desired randomize option.  0 = no; 1 = yes 
  If selected, the schedule times will vary within 60 
minutes of the “hour” time. For example, if a 
schedule is set to start at 6:15pm, it will do so the 
first time 6:15pm arrives, but on subsequent days it 
will start anytime between 6:00 and 6:59 p.m.  
 Press [∗] to continue. RANDOMIZE 
0=NO  1=YES X

Testing the System (To Be Conducted Weekly) 
 
About Testing the System 
Using Test mode allows each protection point to be checked for proper operation.  
 • The keypad sounds a single beep every 40 seconds as a reminder that the 
system is in the Test mode. 
 •  Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station while Test mode is on. 
 
1.  Disarm the system and close all protected windows, 
doors, etc. The READY indicator light should come 
on if all zones are intact (i.e., all protected windows, 
doors, etc. are closed. Alpha Displays: 
DISARMED 
READY TO ARM  
  
2.             +    5   then  [0] (walk) 
 (Security Code) TEST 
 
The Dial test (option “1”) is intended for the installer 
and should not be used unless directed to do so by 
your Security System Representative.
 
1 = DIAL    0 = WALK 
 
  
3.  Listen. The external sounder should sound for 1 
second and then turn off. If the sounder does not 
sound, CALL FOR SERVICE. TEST IN PROGRESS 
   
 4. Fault zones. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three 
beeps from the keypad. Identification (zone number or zone description) of each 
faulted protection point should appear on the display. The display clears when the 
door or window is closed. 
5.  Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps. 
The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated. 
The display clears when no motion is detected.  
Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between 
activations. This is to conserve battery life. 
6.  Test all smoke detectors, following the manufacturers instructions. The 
identification of each detector should appear on the display when each is activated. 
  If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no 
display), call for service immediately. 
  When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should 
be no zone identification numbers displayed on the keypad. 
7.  Exit test mode:     
                + [1]  
  (Security Code) 
If the test mode is inadvertently left active, it automatically turns off after 4 hours. 
During the final five minutes, the keypad will emit a double beep every 30 seconds.

In The Event Of Telephone Operational Problems 
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control from the phone line by 
removing the plug from the phone wall jack. We recommend that your installer demonstrate this 
disconnection on installation of the system. Do not attempt to disconnect the phone connection 
inside the control. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phones work 
correctly after the control has been disconnected from the phone wall jack, the control has a 
problem and you should immediately call for service. If upon disconnection of the control, there is 
still a problem on the phone line, notify the Telephone Company that they have a problem and 
request prompt phone repair service. The user may not under any circumstances attempt any 
service or repairs to the security system. Repairs must be made only by authorized service (see 
the LIMITED WARRANTY statement for information on how to obtain service).

Maintaining Your System 
 
Taking Care of 
Your System The components of your security system are designed to be as 
maintenance-free as possible. However, to make sure that your system 
is in reliable working condition, do the following: 
1.  Test your system weekly
. 
 2.  Test your system after any alarm occurs.
  
Silencing Low 
Battery Warning 
Tones at the 
Keypad You can silence the keypad’s warning tones by pressing the OFF key, 
but the keypads low battery message display will remain on as a 
reminder that you have a low battery condition in one or more of your 
wireless sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, 
the sensor sends a good battery signal to the control as soon as the 
sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the 
low battery display to turn off. If the sensor is not activated, the display 
will automatically clear within approximately 1 hour. 
 
Replacing 
Batteries in 
Wireless Sensors 
 
 
Wireless sensors 
may not have 
been used in your  
security system   
IMPORTANT:  
Use only batteries 
recommended by 
your installer as 
replacement. 
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The 
system detects a low battery in wireless sensors, including smoke 
detectors, the personal emergency transmitter, and the portable 
wireless keypad and displays a low battery message*. (A low battery in 
a portable wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is 
pressed, and displayed as 00.). Battery-operated smoke detectors with 
a low battery also emit a single chirp sound approximately once 
every 20–30 seconds. 
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in 
most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt lithium 
batteries provide up to 4 or more years of operation. Actual battery life 
will depend on the environment in which the sensor is used, the 
number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, 
and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as humidity, high or low 
temperatures or large swings in temperature, may all lead to the 
reduction of actual battery life in an installation. 
 
* The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement 
in indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, a sensor 
causing a low battery indication is still fully operational.
  
Routine Care  Treat the components of your security system as you would any other 
electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows. 
 Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective 
sensors, particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors. 
 The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft 
cloth. Do not spray water or any other fluid on the units.
