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. The system cannot be armed unless the "Ready" light is ON. If the "Ready"

light will not come ON even when all zones are closed, contact your Installer for assistance.

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 sound

several beeps. 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.

If you require a longer or shorter Exit Delay time, 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.

The LCD600 Keypad will display messages while you arm your system. Refer to Page 17

for instructions on arming your system with the LCD600 Keypad.

Tamper Alarms

If this feature is enabled on your system, keypad sounder or bell will sound when the wiring on any zone is

tampered with. This alarm will sound whether the system is armed or disarmed. If any zone goes into alarm

for no apparent reason, contact your installer for assistance.

Smoke Detector and Fire Alarm Reset

If the Fire Alarm sounds at night, do not investigate the alarm: follow your evacuation plan immediately. Go to

a neighbour and call the fire brigade.

When a Fire Alarm is generated, the bell or siren will sound with a pulsing tone. Transmission of the fire alarm

to your monitoring station is delayed for 30 seconds to allow you to cancel possible false alarms. To silence

the alarm, press the [#] Key. When the [#] Key is pressed, the system will delay transmission of the fire alarm

for an additional 90 seconds. The 90-second delay is intended to allow you to reset the smoke detectors after

a false alarm.

If the smoke detector is reset and remains reset after the 90-second delay, a fire alarm will not be transmitted

to the monitoring station.

If the smoke detector is reset but goes into alarm again after the 90-second delay, the fire alarm will sound again

and the process described above will repeat. A fire alarm will be transmitted to your monitoring station after

30 seconds if it is not silenced by pressing the [#] Key.

Smoke detectors installed on your system may be reset after a false alarm using the [

smoke detectors to normal, first clear all products of combustion from the detectors. Press [

the [4] Key for several seconds. If the detectors are clear of smoke, they will return to normal. If the detectors

still have smoke in them, the alarm will sound again. If the alarm sounds again, first ensure that there is no threat

of fire; you may then silence the alarm and reset the smoke detectors.

An immediate fire alarm signal and transmission may be generated by holding down the [F] Key for 2 seconds.

The LCD600 Keypad will display messages while you reset smoke detectors. Refer to
