SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Fire Protection The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will sound an
alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for
important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emer-
gency exit routes from your house.
Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders will sound, and a message
at the keypad will identify the zone(s) causing the alarm. In addition, if your system is
connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm
sounding, you simply disarm the system.
Memory Of Alarm When an alarm or trouble condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the
zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of alarm or trouble (ex. FIRE,
ALARM, CHECK). The display remains until it is cleared by entering the OFF sequence
(security code + OFF key) twice.
Phone Access &
Voice Response
Capability
(Optional)
Your system may include a phone module that will permit you to access the system via a
Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access
feature will enable you to do the following:
• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the
security system.
• Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via the telephone,
with voice confirmation provided after each command entry.
Paging Feature If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to
certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the
type of condition that has occurred.
For detailed information, refer to
PAGING FEATURE on page 25.
