EXIT ALARMS
Exit Alarm Warning
Displays and Sounds
Ask your installer if ExitAlarm Warning is activefor your system, and ifso, check here:  
   
Your system may support and have been programmed for this feature.
When arming, if an exit or interior zone contains a fault during closing 
at the time the exit
delay ends
, the alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously to alert you that an
unwanted alarm can be prevented if you take action:
•
If you disarm the system during the entry delay period that will immediately follow, 
the
sound stops. The keypad displays CANCELED ALARM or CA as well as a zone
indication. No message is transmitted to the central station.
•
If the system is NOT disarmed during the immediately following entry delay period, 
the
sounds continue until the system is disarmed (or alarm sounder timeout occurs). The
keypad displays EXIT ALARM or EA as well as a zone indication. An exit alarm
message will be sent to the central station.
Note:
The latter EXIT ALARM conditions also result if an alarm from an exit or interior
zone occurs within two minutes after the end of an exit delay.
In any of the above cases, a second OFF sequence (security code + OFF key) will clear
the keypad display.
CHIME MODE
Using the
 
 9 
 CHIME Key
This feature can be usedonly while the burglarysystem is disarmed.
Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window while it is disarmed
by using CHIME mode. When activated, three tones will sound at the Keypad whenever a
door or window is opened. Pressing the READY key will display the open protection
points.
To turn Chime Mode on, enter the security code and press the CHIME key. The
CHIME message will appear.
To turn Chime Mode off, enter the security code and press the CHIME key again.
The CHIME message will disappear.

PANIC KEYS
(FOR MANUALLY ACTIVATING SILENT AND/OR AUDIBLE ALARMS)
Using
Panic KeysYour system may have been programmed to use special keys or combinations of keys to
manually activate emergency (panic) functions. The functions that might be programmed
are: Silent Emergency, Audible Emergency, Personal Emergency, and Fire.
A silent emergency sends a silent alarm signal to the central station*, but there is no
audible alarm or visual display.
An audible emergency sends a signal to the central station* and sounds a loud,
steady alarm at your keypad(s) and at any external sounders that may be connected
(ALARM plus a zone number is also displayed).
A personal emergency
 alarm sends an emergency message to the central station*
and sounds at keypad(s), but not at external bells or sirens.
A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the central station* and uniquely sounds at
keypad(s) and external bells and sirens (FIRE plus a zone number is also displayed).
* If connected to a central station.TO INITIATE A PANIC FUNCTION AT ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT:• Press an active lettered key (A, B or C) for at least two seconds.  or, if lettered keys are not present on the keypad,• Press both keys of an active pair at the same time.
See next page for panic functions that have been assigned to keys.

TESTING THE SYSTEMTO BE CONDUCTED WEEKLY
Using the
 
 5 
 TEST Key
NO ALARM REPORTSWILL BE SENT TO THECENTRAL MONITORINGSTATION while thesystem is in Test mode.
The TEST key puts your system into the Test mode, which allows each protection point
to be checked for proper operation.
1 . Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The keypads READY
message should be displayed and the READY indicator (if present) should be lit.
2 . Enter your security code and press the TEST key.
3 . As the Test mode is entered, the external siren or bell will sound for 2 seconds and
then turn off.
Each time a protection zone is faulted, the keypad sounds 3 beeps.
The keypad will sound a single beep every 40 seconds as a reminder that the system
is in the test mode.
If these sounds do not occur, call for service immediately.
4 . Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for the required
sounds The identification of each faulted protection point should appear on the dis-
play.
5 . Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for the required sound
as movement is detected. The identification of the detector should appear on the
display when it is activated.Note:
Wireless PIR (Passive Infrared) units will send signals out only if they have been
inactive for 3 minutes.
6 . Follow the manufacturers instructions to test all smoke detectors, to ensure that all
are functioning properly. The identification of each detector should appear on the
display when each is activated.

TESTING THE SYSTEM (Continued)
7 . After all protection points have been checked and restored, there should be no zone
identification numbers displayed. If a problem is experienced with any
protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR
SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
8 . Turn off the Test mode by entering the security code and pressing the OFF key.
PAGING FEATURE
If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as they
occur in your system by displaying a 10-digit code that will indicate the type of condition that has occurred. The 10-
digit code will use the following format:   SSSS–EEE–NNN
SSSS will be your particular 4-digit subscriber No. (this same number will always appear at the beginning of the
display on your pager).
EEE will be a 3-digit number that describes the event that has occurred in your system (see explanation below).
NNN will be a 3-digit User or zone number, depending on the type of event that has occurred.
The 3-digit Event Codes (EEE) that can be displayed are:
911 = Alarm (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the alarm)
001 = Open,  System disarmed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)
002 = Close, System armed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number)
811 = Trouble (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the trouble)Example 1.
  Pager displays:  
 1234–911–004Ê
This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an Alarm (911), due to zone 4 (004) being
faulted.Example 2.  
Pager displays:  
 1234–00 1–00 5Ê
This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an open/disarming (001) by User 5 (005).

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (IF INSTALLED)
GeneralYour fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for continuous protection. In the
event of an emergency, the strategically located smoke and heat detectors will au-
tomatically send signals to your system, triggering a loud, interrupted pulsed sound* from
the Keypad(s). This sound will also be produced by optional exterior sounders. A FIRE
message will appear at your Keypad and remain on until you silence the alarm (see below
for silencing fire alarms).
*
 Temporal pulse sounding is produced for Fire alarms, as follows: 3 pulses–pause–3 pulses–pause–3 pulses. . . , repeated.

Fire Alarms1 . You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing the OFF key (the security code is
not needed to silence fire alarms). To clear the display, enter your code and press the
OFF key again (to clear Memory of Alarm).
2 . If the Keypads fire indication does not clear after the second OFF sequence, smoke
detectors may still be responding to smoke or heat producing objects in their vicinity.
Investigate, and should this be the case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke.
3 . If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector. Clear it
by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.
4 . When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code and
pressing the OFF key.
