Programming Device Timers 
General Information 
Device timers consist of an ON time & an OFF time, and selected days of the 
week in which they are active. There are up to 20 timers that can be used to 
control various devices, such as lights or appliances. Your installer will have 
programmed the appropriate devices into the system (up to 96 devices can be 
programmed).  
Each timer controls a single device (designated as an output number) that 
you select. For example, timer 1 might be set to turn the porch lights on at 
7:00pm and turn them off at 11:00pm. Timer 2 might turn on the air 
conditioner Monday-Friday at 4:30pm to cool the premises before you arrive 
at 5:00pm, and turn it off at 10:00pm when you are retiring for the night. If 
desired, different timers can control the same device. For example, timer 2 
could be used Monday-Friday as in the previous example, and timer 3 could 
be set to turn the air conditioner on and off at different times Saturday and 
Sunday. 
To enter the device timer menu mode:  
Enter your security code, then press the  # 
 key followed by 83. 
OUTPUT TIMER # ? 
01-20,00=QUIT 01 
Up to 20 timers can be programmed. Each timer 
is identified by a number 1-20. Enter the desired 
timer number to be programmed (1-20). Press * 
to accept entry. 
06 07:00P 11:45P

If that timer number has already been 
programmed, a summary screen will appear. In 
this example: 
  06 = Timer # 
  04 = Output Device # affected by this timer  
  PORCH LITE = Output Descriptor for Device 4 
  07:00PM = Start Time; 
  11:45PM = Stop Time 
Press * to continue.  
See your installer for 
device numbers. 00 ENTER OUTPUT#  00 
Enter the desired output device number (1-96). 
As the number is entered, the devices description 
will appear. 
To delete a previously programmed timer, enter 
00 as the output number.

Randomize Output Device Times 
Devices in your system may be set for a random schedule, whereby they will 
turn on and off at different times each day. This is useful when going on 
vacation and you desire the turning on and off of the lights to the give the 
appearance of someone being home. Your installer sets these devices for a 
random schedule. You can initiate a random schedule by either of the 
following methods: 
1. Enter your security code and press  # 
 followed by 41. 
This will randomize, up to 30 minutes, the activation time of all devices, 
programmed for randomization, assigned to the partition the sequence is 
entered in. Enter the sequence again to turn off the random schedule. 
2. Enter your security code and press   # 
 followed by 42.  
This is the same as the method above, except the randomization occurs 
only on devices with activation times within 6 PM and 5 AM. Enter the 
same sequence again to turn off the random schedule.

Testing the System (To Be Conducted Weekly) 
Using the   5  TEST Key 
The TEST key puts your system into Test mode, which allows each protection point to be 
checked for proper operation. 
1.  Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. READY should be 
displayed. 
  TEST 
2.  Enter your security code and press the  5  key. 
3.  The external sounder should sound for 3 seconds and then turn off.  If the sounder 
does not sound, it may be due to dialer communication activity.  Wait a few minutes 
and try again.  If the sounder still does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE 
IMMEDIATELY. 
4.  The keypad will sound a single beep every 15 seconds as a reminder that the system 
is in Test mode. Each time a protection zone is faulted (opened), the keypad should 
beep three times. If the sounder does not sound, CALL FOR SERVICE 
IMMEDIATELY. 
NOTES: 
• No alarm reports will be sent to the central monitoring station while the system is in 
Test mode. 
• The system will automatically exit the Test mode if there is no activity (no doors or 
windows are opened and closed, no motion detectors are activated, etc.) for 1 hour. The 
system will beep the keypad(s) twice every 15 seconds during the last 5 minutes as a 
warning that it is about to exit the Test mode and return to normal operation. 
Testing Your System 
1. Open and close each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps. 
Each faulted protection point should appear on the display. 
2. Walk in front of any motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps as 
movement is detected (wireless motion detectors have a 3-1/2 minute lockout 
between trips). Each detector’s should appear on the display when it is activated. 
3. Follow the manufacturers instructions to test all smoke detectors to ensure that all 
are functioning properly. Each detector should appear on the display when activated. 
4. When all protection points have been checked, 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. 
5. Turn off Test mode by entering the security code + the OFF key.
