CHECKING OPEN ZONES
Checking Zones: Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other
detection zones must be closed or bypassed; otherwise the keypad displays "Not Ready."
GOTO: If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system
functions in the other partition by using the GOTO command.

ARMING THE SYSTEM, CHIME MODE, and CONTROLLING DEVICES
Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows and make sure the Ready to Arm
message is shown. After arming, leave the premises through an entry/exit door during the
exit delay period and be sure the door is reclosed to avoid causing an alarm.
Mode Press these keys... When to use an arming mode and what happens
• Used when staying on premises, but someone
might use the entrance door later.
• Arms the perimeter (doors, doors, windows,
etc., no interior zone such as s motion
detectors).
• An alarm sounds if a protected window or any
door is opened.

PANIC KEYS
Your system may have been programmed to use special keys or key pairs to manually
activate emergency (panic) functions as follows:
This Function Key(s)∗ Sends This Signal∗∗ With This Sounding...
Silent Alarm Silent alarm No change to the keypad (no sound).
Audible Alarm Audible alarm A loud, steady alarm at keypad(s) and
at any external sounders.
Personal Alarm Auxiliary alarm Steady alarm sound at keypad(s), but
not at external bells or sirens.
Fire Alarm Fire alarm Temporal (pulsing) sound at external
bells and sirens.
∗ Enter the appropriate keys programmed by your installer for each function (see installer).
∗∗ All panic functions send signals to the Central Monitoring Station, if connected.
To activate a Panic Function:
Keys
Press and hold down the programmed or paired
keys for at least 2 seconds for the desired
emergency function (or press both keys of the
assigned key pair at the same time).
• When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions must be made within
4-5 seconds of one another. If 4-5 seconds elapse without a key depression, the entry will
be aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.
• If you make a mistake while entering a security code, stop, press the ∗ key, and then start
over. If you stop in the middle while entering a code, and then immediately start the entry
over, an erroneous code might be entered.
SECURITY CODES
Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform all system functions.
In addition, other security codes can be assigned for use by other users.
• Only the Master and Manager Codes can assign security codes to users.
• Users are identified by a 3-digit user number.
• In addition to a security code, each user is assigned an authority level and various system
attributes. See the full User Guide for definitions of each Authority Level.
• Security codes can be used interchangeably within a partition when performing system
functions (a system armed with one security code can be disarmed by a different security
code), with the exception of the Guest codes.
• Security code programming involves these steps:
1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in which the user
will be operating, and assign a 4-digit security code.
2. Assign an authority level to that user.
3. Assign other attributes as necessary.
Assigning Security Codes and User Attributes
The following lists the various command strings for adding security codes and attributes.

Commands
Master or Manager code + 8 + [user no.] + new user's security
code
Follow the screen prompts to add the authority level and other
attributes for this user. The Keypad beeps once to confirm that
new user was added.
Master or Manager code + 8 + [user no.] + Master or Manager
code first entered. When prompted, press 1 (YES).
The security code set for this user number is erased from the
system.
Master code + 8 + [user no.]. Enter the new code for that user.
When prompted, press 0 (NO).
The security code set for this user number is changed to the new
code.
