Maintenance

With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. The following points should be observed.

1. Do not wash the security station with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should

remove normal accumulations of dust.

2. The battery/ bell test is designed to determine battery condition. We recommended, however, that

the stand-by batteries be replaced every three years.

3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion

detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the respective manufacturer's literature for testing and

maintenance.

TELEPHONE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS Except for the telephone company provided ringers, all connections to the telephone network shall be made

through standard plugs and telephone company provided jacks, or equivalent, in such a manner as to allow for easy, immediate disconnection of the terminal

equipment. Standard jacks shall be so arranged that, if the plug connected thereto is withdrawn, no interference to the operation of the equipment at the

customer's premises which remains connected to the telephone network shall occur by reason of such withdrawal.

INCIDENCE OF HARM Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where

practicable, notify the customer that temporary disconnection of service may be required; however, where prior notice is not practicable, the telephone

company may temporarily discontinue service if such action is deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance,

the telephone company shall promptly notify the customer and will be given the opportunity to correct the situation.

ADDITIONAL TELEPHONE COMPANY INFORMATION The security control panel must be properly connected to the telephone line with a USOC RJ-31X

telephone jack.

The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment be connected to party lines or to be used in conjunction with coin telephone service. Interconnect

rules may vary from state to state.

CHANGES IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,

equipment, operations or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required and proper in its business. Should any such changes render the

customer's terminal equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities the customer shall be given adequate notice to the effect modifications

to maintain uninterrupted service.

RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN) The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have

all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should

not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact the facility indicated below for information

on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected

or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

About Your Security System

Your DSC Security System has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and

convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system's

operation and on which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system

should be equally instructed in its use. Fill out the "System Information" page with all of you zone

information and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.

Fire Detection

This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing

a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate number of

detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with

NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the Family Escape

Planning guidelines in this manual.

NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it becomes

functional.

Testing

To insure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.

Please refer to "Testing Your System" on page 12 of this manual. If your system does not function

properly, call your installing company for service.

Monitoring

This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over telephone

lines to a central station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the central station to

prevent an unnecessary response.

NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.

General System Operation

Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors

and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement. The

metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason

for anyone but the installer or service professional to have access to the control panel.

The NMF-1008 keypad has a local alarm sounder and support for passkey operation.

The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The

keypad(s) will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/

exit door(s).

The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will be connected

to one or more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in

alarm will be indicated by the corresponding zone lights flashing on the LED keypad .

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included –

your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but

they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices

or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified

security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided

and on system operations.
