INTRODUCTION Welcome to your new S02 alarm system from Fortress Security Store. This easy-to-use, self-install burglar alarm system works with one or more loud sirens to alert anyone nearby of a pos- sible break-in. Using your existing phone line, the system can also call you and alert you when you’re away from home.
WHAT’S IN YOUR BOX? • All S02 systems come with at least the items above. We offer multiple sizes of the S02 kit. Look for the size you purchased on the table on the next page to see what sensors you have and what zones they are programmed to.

INSTALLATION DO’S AND DON’TS This table addresses some common questions you may have during the setup process. Set it up right the fi rst time, and save on painkillers from the headache you avoided! Note: Do not mount any transmitters directly on metal. This will ensure that the transmissions from the sensors make it to the main panel successfully and reliably.

DELETING SENSORS Before you decide to delete all the sensors from your system, keep in mind that you will have to reprogram all your sensors and remotes again. This is not a full factory reset of the system. Other settings, such as your password and your programmed phone numbers will still remain the same.
ZONE AND SYSTEM SETTINGS ZONE SETTINGS The S02 alarm system has 32 numbered Zones (01-32). Each Zone may contain up to 10 accessories each. Each Zone can have one attribute assigned to it which controls how the accessories within that Zone will behave.
SYSTEM SETTINGS All System changes will begin with your password followed by #. This gets you into Programming Mode (both Out and Home lights will be lit). Once you have entered in the com- mand, press Return to exit programming mode. ZZ stands for zone number.

Your system has a BUS bar on the back that can hold up to 6 wired sensors (or 6 circuits of wired sensors). If you have some third-party wired sensors, you can connect them to your S02 alarm system there. Wired sensors are “Instant,” meaning that they will trigger the alarm immediately whenever the system is armed in Home mode or in Out mode.
