"Trouble Message"

Full System Test

We recommend that you test your system weekly. Should the system fail to function properly, call your

installation company immediately for service.

NOTE: Perform system tests at off-peak hours.

1. Inform the central station that you are testing your system.

2. Begin with the system in the Ready state.

3. Perform a Bell/Battery test by pressing [ ][6][Master Code][4]. The bell and keypad buzzer will

sound for two seconds and all keypad lights will turn ON. Press [#] to exit.

4. Activate each sensor in turn (e.g. open a door/window or walk in motion detector areas).

From an LED keypad, observe the zone light turn ON when the zone is activated. The zone light will

turn OFF when the system restores to normal (i.e. door or window closed).

From an LCD keypad, the following message will be displayed when each zone is activated...

Quick Arm

When the Quick Arm feature is enabled, the system may be armed by simply pressing [ ][0] instead of your

access code. Please note that pressing [ ][0] will only allow you to arm the system; to disarm, you must enter

a valid access code. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Arm feature has been enabled on your system.

Quick Exit

When the Quick Exit feature is enabled, pressing [ ][0] while the system is armed will provide a two minute

window for you to exit the premises. During this time, you may only open and close the designated Entry/

Exit door once. Once the door is closed, the panel will end the two minute quick exit delay. If the door is

opened again, or if the door is not closed after two minutes, or if another zone is opened, the panel will begin

the entry delay. Your installer will inform you if the Quick Exit feature has been enabled on your system.

Disarming the System

Disarming from an LED Keypad:

Enter the premises through a designated Exit/Entry door; entering by any other door will sound an

immediate alarm. As soon as the Exit/Entry door is opened, the keypad will beep to indicate that the

system should be disarmed. Go to the keypad and enter your access code. If an error is made

entering the code, enter your code again. As soon as the correct code is entered, the Armed light

will go out and the keypad will stop beeping.

The correct access code must be entered before the entry delay period expires. If a valid access

code is not entered during this time, the system will go into alarm. The entry delay time may be

changed by your installer.

If an alarm occurred while the system was armed, upon disarming the system, the Memory light and

the zone light corresponding to the zone which caused the alarm will flash for 30 seconds. After the 30

second period, the Memory light and zone light will stop flashing and the panel will return to the Ready

state. Pressing the [#] key during the 30 second period will cancel the alarm memory display. To view

other alarms, press [ ][3].

If a trouble was detected when the panel is disarmed, the Trouble light will turn ON (See "Viewing

Trouble Conditions" on page 12 to determine the source of the trouble.) Please note that troubles will

not display while the system is in the Alarm Memory Display mode.

Disarming from an LCD Keypad:

Upon entering through a designated Exit/Entry door, the keypad will beep and the entry delay will

commence, reminding you to disarm the system. The keypad will display the following message...
