Disarming and Silencing Alarms 
 
Using the [OFF] key 
The OFF key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm and trouble sounds, and 
clear alarm memories. 
 
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT 
ENTER, but CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. 
If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, 
the keypad will beep rapidly upon your entering, indicating that an alarm 
has occurred during your absence.  
LEAVE AT ONCE, and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location. 
 
1.   
           +  1    OFF 
 (Security Code) 
  The “READY” indicator light will be lit if all zones 
are secure, and the keypad will emit a single tone to 
confirm that the system is disarmed. 
 NOTE: If entry delay has started (you’ve opened the 
entry door), you do not need to press the OFF key – 
simply enter your security code. The system will 
disarm in about 15 seconds after the last digit of the 
code is entered.

2. To Silence a Burglary Alarm and Clear a Memory of Alarm 
 Enter your security code and press the OFF key to silence the alarm (or 
warning tones of a Memory of Alarm). 
  Note the zone in alarm on the keypad display, and correct the problem (close 
door, window, etc.). After correcting the problem, enter the security code plus 
OFF sequence again to clear the keypad’s Memory of Alarm display.  
 
3.  To Silence a Fire Alarm or Carbon Monoxide Alarm and Clear a Memory of 
Alarm 
  Simply press the OFF key to silence the alarm. Then enter the security code 
plus OFF sequence twice to clear the keypads Memory of Alarm display. See the 
Fire Alarm System section.

Bypassing Protection Zones 
 
Using the BYPASS Key 
Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones 
intentionally unprotected. The system must be disarmed first. 
 
Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are 
automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to 
manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it 
becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is 
armed. 
 
When bypassing zones: 
•  The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones. 
•  Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated. 
•  The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
 
•  Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed. 
 
1.   
          + 6 BYPASS + zone number (see below) 
 (Security Code) 
  Enter the 2-digit zone number for the zone to be 
bypassed. Single digit zone numbers must be preceded 
by a zero (e.g. 05, 06). 
 
  Repeat the command string for each zone to be 
bypassed.

2. After each command string, the keypad momentarily 
displays a Bypass message for the zone number. 
  Arm the system as usual. When armed, the arming 
message is displayed with “ZONE BYPASSED.” 
 To display bypassed zones prior to arming, enter 
your security code and press the [6] BYPASS key. Alpha Display:

Bypassing Protection Zones (cont’d)  
Quick Bypass 
If programmed, Quick Bypass allows you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones 
without having to enter zone numbers individually. This feature is useful if, for 
example, you routinely leave certain windows open when arming at night. 
 
1.               +   6 BYPASS  +  [#] 
 (Security Code) 
  In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed 
and automatically bypassed.
 Make sure that only 
those zones that you wish to leave unprotected are 
bypassed, and that there are no other zones 
unintentionally left open.

Chime Mode 
 
Using the Chime Mode 
CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while the 
system is disarmed.  
When Chime mode is activated: 
 •  Three tones sound at the keypad whenever a perimeter door or window is opened.  
 •  Interior zones do not produce a tone when they are faulted. 
 • Pressing the READY key will display the open protection points. 
 •  Chime mode can be used only while the system is disarmed. 
 
To turn Chime Mode on: 
   
           +  9 CHIME 
 (Security Code) 
   The CHIME message will appear. Perimeter zones 
will cause a tone when faulted.

Using the Voice Chime 
 
Voice keypads have a feature that works in concert with the Chime Mode called Voice 
Chime. Voice chime provides a voice status annunciation, chime, and display when 
any faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone exists.  Ask your installer if this option has 
been enabled for your system.   
 
To turn Voice Chime Mode on or off: 
 #  +   0   +   2  +   4    
(normal Chime mode must be on first)
 
 
When Voice Chime is on, faulted zones cause a voice status announcement, chime and display. 
When off, the sounder still provides chime if normal Chime mode is on.

Macro Key Programming & Usage 
 
About Macro Keys 
The “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” keys can be used to automatically activate a series of 
commands of up to 16 keystrokes, if programmed for this function. These keystrokes, 
as a group, are called “macros” and are stored in the systems memory.  
 •  Typical macro functions can include: 
    -  Arming sequences: STAY, NIGHT-STAY, INSTANT, or AWAY 
    -  Bypassing particular zone(s) 
    -  Activating relay(s) for turning on (or off) lights, fans, etc. 
 •  Up to four  macros can be assigned – but no more than one macro to a key. 
 •  Macros can be activated only by users with authority levels authorized to 
perform the macro’s function. 
NOTE: The installer must activate the desired function key (using *57 Function  
key Menu Mode) before macros can be assigned. 
 
See the chart at the back of this manual for the key(s) assigned for macros.

Paging Feature 
 
About Automatic Paging 
Your system may be set up to automatically send messages to up to four pagers as 
certain conditions occur in your system. 
•  The following events can be programmed by your installer to be sent to the pagers: 
arming and disarming
†, alarms, and trouble conditions. (†  reports when 
arming/disarming from a keypad using a security code; auto-arming/disarming, 
arming with assigned button, and keyswitch arming do not send pager messages.) 
•  You can also program the system to send an automatic pager message to alert you 
in the event that someone has not arrived home (disarmed the system) within a 
defined period of time (see the Scheduling section for details on programming a 
“latch key report”). 
•  Your installer programs the pager phone numbers and reporting events. 
•  The pager message consists of a 7-digit system status code that indicates the type of 
condition that has occurred. 
•  An optional, predefined 16-digit character string can precede the 7-digit system 
status code; these characters can consist of a PIN no., subscriber account no., or any 
additional data that you may wish to have sent to the pager. 
•  The pager display format is as follows: 
 
Optional 16 digits 
3-digit Event Code 
 
  
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA – BBB – CCCC  1-digit Partition No. + 3-digit Zone No. or User No.  
A =  B =  C =
