The GE Concord 4 Touch Screen is a security system interface designed for ease of use and comprehensive control over your premises' security. It serves as the primary control panel for arming, disarming, and managing various security features. The device features a clear touchscreen display, which shows the current date and time (e.g., Monday, May 10, 2003, 10:30 PM) and provides intuitive icons for different functions.
Function Description:
The GE Concord 4 Touch Screen allows users to manage their security system through a series of interactive icons. Its core functions include:
- Arming the System: Users can arm the system in two primary modes:
- Arm to Away: This mode is used when leaving the premises and arms all sensors. To activate, press the [Arm] icon, then [Arm to Away], enter your security code, and select [Done].
- Arm to Stay: This mode is used when staying on the premises and typically arms perimeter sensors while allowing movement within the property. To activate, press the [Arm] icon, then [Arm to Stay], enter your security code, and select [Done].
- Disarming the System: To disarm the system, press the [Disarm] icon and enter your security code.
- Bypassing Protected Areas: This feature allows users to arm the system while intentionally leaving certain protected zones unarmed. This is useful for accessing a specific area when the system is armed or for temporarily disabling a faulty sensor. To bypass a zone:
- Access the Advanced Screen by pressing the [Advanced] icon from the Home screen.
- Enter your security code.
- Press the [Bypass] icon.
- Enter the 2-digit sensor number you wish to bypass.
To unbypass a zone, simply arm and then disarm your system.
- Chime Mode Control: When chime mode is active, the system will sound three tones whenever a protected door or window is opened. This provides an audible alert for entry/exit points. To turn chime mode on or off:
- Access the Advanced Screen by pressing the [Advanced] icon from the Home screen.
- Press the [Chime On/Off] icon to toggle the option.
- System Reset: After an alarm event, the display can be cleared by arming and then disarming the system. This resets the system status and clears any active alarm indications from the screen.
- Volume Adjustment: The device allows for adjustment of the key click sounds. To control the key clicks:
- Access the Advanced Screen by pressing the [Advanced] icon from the Home screen.
- Press the [Key Click] icon.
- Choose either [Enable] or [Disable] to turn the key clicks on or off, respectively.
- Emergency Functions: Dedicated icons for [Fire], [Police], and [Auxiliary] (panic) are present on the main screen, allowing for quick activation of emergency services or alerts.
- Status Display: A [Status] icon provides quick access to the current state of the security system, indicating armed/disarmed status, open zones, or any system faults.
- Advanced Settings: The [Advanced] icon leads to a menu where more detailed system configurations and controls can be accessed, including bypass settings, chime control, and key click adjustments.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific technical specifications like processor speed, memory, or exact screen resolution are not detailed in this quick guide, the interface suggests a color touchscreen display with graphical icons. The system operates with a security code for authentication, implying a secure internal processing unit. The integration with ADT suggests compatibility with professional monitoring services. The system's ability to manage multiple sensors (indicated by the 2-digit sensor number for bypassing) points to a robust zone management capability. The date and time display indicates an internal clock function.
Usage Features:
The GE Concord 4 Touch Screen is designed for intuitive user interaction:
- Touchscreen Interface: All operations are performed by touching icons on the screen, eliminating the need for physical buttons for most functions.
- Icon-Based Navigation: Clear and descriptive icons (e.g., [Arm], [Disarm], [Fire], [Police]) make it easy for users to understand and select desired actions.
- Security Code Authentication: A personal security code is required for arming, disarming, and accessing advanced features, ensuring authorized use.
- Audible Feedback: Chime mode provides audible alerts for door/window openings, and key clicks offer tactile feedback for touch inputs.
- Emergency Access: Dedicated emergency buttons are prominently displayed for quick access in critical situations.
- Comprehensive Manual Availability: For detailed information and advanced configurations, users are directed to the complete GE Concord 4 Touchscreen manual, indicating a deeper level of functionality beyond the quick guide.
- Home Screen Overview: The main screen provides an at-a-glance view of the system's status and quick access to frequently used functions.
Maintenance Features:
The quick guide primarily focuses on user operation rather than hardware maintenance. However, the "Reset" function can be considered a basic maintenance feature for clearing system errors or alarm states from the display. The ability to bypass zones can also be used as a temporary measure if a sensor requires maintenance or is malfunctioning, allowing the rest of the system to remain armed. For any deeper maintenance or troubleshooting, the full GE Concord 4 Touchscreen manual would be the primary resource, likely detailing steps for system diagnostics, battery replacement (if applicable), or cleaning instructions. The system's integration with ADT suggests that professional maintenance and support services are available for more complex issues.
