BASIC OPERATION

Arming Your System

Before arming the system, close all protected doors and windows, and stop movement in areas protected

by motion detectors. When all zones are closed, all of the zone lights on the keypad will be OFF, and the

Ready light will be ON.

To arm the system, enter a 4-digit access code. As each digit is entered, the keypad sounder will beep.

When the access code has been entered, the Armed light will come ON and the keypad will beep 6 times.

If an incorrect access code is entered, the keypad will sound a single long tone. To correct a mistake when

entering a code, press the [#] key and enter the access code again.

When the Armed light comes ON, leave the premises through the designated entry-exit door before the exit

delay expires. At the end of the exit delay, all lights on the keypad will be shut OFF except for the Armed

light - your system is now armed.

The factory setting for the exit delay is 120 seconds; your installer may change this time to suit your needs.

Refer to the Arming Options section of this manual for information on other arming functions.

Disarming Your System

Enter the premises through the designated entry-exit door. The keypad will sound a constant tone to

indicate that the system must be disarmed.

Go to the keypad and enter an access code. If an error is made entering the code, press the [#] key and

enter the code again.

When a correct access code is entered, the Armed light will be shut OFF, and the sounder will be silenced

- your system is now disarmed.

An access code must be entered before the entry delay expires or an alarm will sound. The factory setting

for the entry delay is 30 seconds; your installer may change this time to suit your needs.

If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, the System light and the zone lights of the zones that

went into alarm will flash for two minutes. Press the [#] key to cancel the flashing display and return the

keypad to the Ready mode. Refer to “Display Alarm Memory” for instructions on displaying the zones that

went into alarm.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you return to the premises and find that an alarm is in progress or that there

are alarms in memory, do not enter the premises as an intruder may be present. Go to a neighbour

and contact the local authorities from there.

affect operation, the System light will come ON and the keypad will sound two short beeps every 10
