SYSTEM OVERVIEW

General Congratulations on your ownership of an First Alert Alarm System. You’ve made a

wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in alarm protection

technology today, including microcomputer technology to monitor all system status.

Your system is a UL Listed commercial fire/burglary alarm control/communicator. It

provides up to three forms of protection: fire alarm, burglary alarm and emergency

alarm warning, some or all of which may be included in your system. In addition to

the control panel, your system will include at least one remote control keypad

which provides full control of system operation, external alarm sounders and

various types of sensors such as smoke detectors for fire protection, door/window

contacts for perimeter burglary protection and passive infrared motion detectors for

interior burglary protection.

Please disregard references to burglary and/or emergency protection in the text

that follows if your system does not provide these types of protection.

Zones Your system has five protection zones. Your installer has assigned each of your

system’s sensing devices to one of these zones. For example, warehouse smoke

detectors may have been assigned to zone 01, a fire sprinkler supervisory switch

may have been assigned to zone 02, burglary door/window contacts may have

been assigned to zone 3, etc.. The keypad will display these zone numbers when

an alarm, supervisory or trouble condition is detected.

Fire & Emergency The fire and emergency protection portions of your system are always on and will

Protection sound an alarm if an alarm condition is detected.

Burglary Protection

Alarms

Memory Of Alarm

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or “armed”

before it can sense burglary alarm conditions and sound an alarm. Your system

can be armed in one of four modes: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM.

Refer to the ARMlNG THE SYSTEM sections of this manual for instructions on

using these modes.

Your system also provides a CHIME mode for alerting you to the opening and

closing of doors and windows while your burglary protection is disarmed.

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. You may stop the sound by entering the OFF sequence (user code + OFF

key) at your keypad .

When an alarm, supervisory or trouble condition occurs, the keypad displays the

number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the problem, and displays the type of

condition present (ex. FIRE, ALARM, SUPV, CHECK). The display remains until it

is cleared by entering the OFF sequence (user code +.OFF key) a second time.

ABOUT THE KEYPADS

General Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a

telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which

shows the nature and location of all occurrences.

The keypads feature a built-in sounder which emits alarm sounds during alarm

conditions and produces warning tones during burglary protection entry (and

exit, if so-programmed) delay periods. The sounder also provides

acknowledgement tones when keys are pressed, and confirmation tones for

successful command entries.

Keypad Displays There are two basic types of keypad displays, Alpha and Fixed-Word, either of

which may have been used in your system.

Alpha Keypad Displays feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid

Crystal Display (LCD) which can display the nature and location of all

occurrences in friendly English.

Fixed-Word Keypad Displays are functionally similar to the Alpha Keypads,

except that their LCD display uses pre-designated (fixed) words to identify the

nature and location of occurrences.

Unless stated otherwise, all commands and procedures described herein apply

equally to all keypads.

REMOTE KEYPAD USER -CODES

General Your installer will have programmed a 4-digit user code (known as User Number 2

code) that can.be entered at your keypad to silence/reset alarms, arm/disarm your

burglary protection, bypass protection zones and activate the fire drill test and the

burglary walk test. This code may also be used to assign up to four other user

codes (known as User Number 3-6 codes) and to assign a Duress code

The User Number 3-6 codes are intended for users who need limited and/or

temporary control over system operation. These codes can perform the same

functions as the User Number 2 code except for assigning user codes and

activating the fire drill test.

Duress Code The Duress code (it corresponds to User Number 8) is intended for use when

one is forced to arm or disarm the burglary protection portion of the system under

threat. When used, this code will arm or disarm the system apparently normally,

but will also send a silent alarm message to the central station so that appropriate

action can be taken.

Generally, most keypad functions are performed by first entering the 4-digit user

code and then entering one or more command keys, as described in the sections

that follow. The user code functions are summarized in the table below.

or Delete

User Codes

REMOTE KEYPAD USER CODES

If your system supports “Quick Arming”, the “#” key can be pressed in place of

the user code when arming the burglary protection. The user code is always

required, however, when disarming.

User Number 2 can change, but not delete, his/her own code and can assign,

change, or delete codes for User Numbers 3-8

User Numbers 3-8 cannot assign, change, or delete user codes.

1. Enter the User Number 2 code and press the CODE key.

2. Enter a single-digit User Number (2-8) for the user whose code is to be

assigned, changed, or deleted. Note: The Duress code corresponds to User

Number 8.

3. /f assigning or changing a user’s code, enter the new 4-digit code for that

user. The keypad will beep once, indicating that the new code has been

accepted.

If deleting a user’s code, perform steps 1 and 2 and then stop. After a few

moments the keypad will beep once, indicating that the existing code has been

deleted.
