BASIC OPERATION
Followingaregeneraloperationalconcepts
thatyoursystemsupports.Understanding
theseconceptswillhelpyoutouseyour
securitysystemtoitsfullestextent.
Sensor Types/Zones
Thesystem’ swirelesssensorsha vebeen
assignedtoselected“types”(oftencalled
“zones”).Thesensortypedetermineshow
andwhenthesystemwillreacttoasignal
fromthesensor.Somesensorsarearmed24
hoursaday,othersensorsareonlyarmed
whenthesystemisarmed.
Smoke, Heat, and Freeze
Protection
Ifwirelesssmoke,heat,andfreezedetectors
havebeeninstalledinyoursystem,theyare
armed24hoursaday.Theywillsoundan
alarmwhensmoke isdetectedandcan
reportthefirealarmtotheCentralStation.
See"Smoke,HeatandFreezeProtection"on
page21foremergencyplanning
and
evacuationinformation.
Burglary Protection
Burglaryprotectionisprovidedbyperimeter
andinteriorsensors.Whenthesystemis
armedintheAwaymode,bothperimeter
andinteriorsensorsarearmedandcan
triggeranalarm.Whenthesystemisarmed
intheStaymode,onlytheperimetersensors 
arearmedandcantriggeranalarm.
Both
armingmodesofferanExitDelaythat
allowstimetoexitthepremiseswithout
triggeringthealarm.Uponre‐entry,anEntry
Delayisenabledthatallowsyoutimeto
disarmthesystem.
Youcansetsensorstosoundachimeand/or
avoiceannouncementwhentheyare
triggered.Thislets
youmonitoryourdoors
andwindowswhilethesystemisdisarmed.
Formoredetails,see"BurglaryProtection"
onpage9.
User Codes
Thesysteminstallerhasalready
programmedamasterusercodeforyour
system.Thiscodecanbeusedtocontrolthe
systemaswellasassignandchangethe
otherusercodes.Themasterusercodecan
alsoaccessseveralsystemsetupsettingsin
theUserToolbox.
Alarms
Whenanalarmoccurs,theControlPanel’ s
sirenandanexternalsiren(ifinstalled)
soundforapresettime.Duringalarmsand
afterdisarming,thealarmhistorybutton
displaysallthealarmsthathaveoccurred,
andwhichsensorswereinvolved.Thealarm
historyclearsthenexttimethesystemis
armed
orcanbeclearedmanually.

messagesfromtheCentralStation.The
messagescanbeaboutsystemupgrade s,
additionalservices,specialregionalweather

Trouble Alerts
Thesystemmonitorsitselfforabnormal
operatingconditionsandwillalertyouif
troubleisdetected.Troubleconditionscan
bereportedtotheCentralStation.
Wireless Sensors
Yoursecuritysystemcomeswithwireless
sensors.Somesensorsarevisible,others
