Introduction

Congratulations on your decision to protect your home or business with the

OMNI-848 security system. You have chosen a reliable, state-of-the-art

security system that is remarkably easy to operate. Your system has been

professionally installed by your local Security Company whose representative

can explain the specifics of your system.

The keypad is the input and display device for your security system. Your

Security Company representative will suggest the model most appropriate for

your premises and your needs. There are three types of keypads that can be

used with this system:

LCD keypad (alpha display), Fixed-Glass keypad (2-digit display), LED keypad.

Since your system may use any of these keypads, the displays of all keypads

are described in this manual.

The OMNI-848 is listed by Underwriters Laboratories for Household Fire and

Burglary applications.

Throughout this manual, the following conventions are used to represent the

keystrokes required to perform the following functions.

STAY Press Button labeled STAY.

BYPASS Press Button labeled BYPASS.

INSTANT Press Button labeled INSTANT.

CODE Press Button labeled CODE.

Enter 4-digit or 6-digit user code (see User Code note on page

Turning The System On

IS THE SYSTEM READY?

You can turn the burglar portion of your security system on and off. Before

you can turn the system on, it must be “ready.” If you have a protected

door open, or someone is moving in view of a motion detector, the system

will not display “READY.”

The system is ready if the READY light and the display shows:

LCD Keypad:

SYSTEM READY

PART 1

Fixed-Glass Keypad:

Ready LED lit LED Keypad:

Ready LED lit

TO TURN THE SYSTEM ON AND LEAVE

Enter your user code.

The System On (ARM) light will go on and the display will show:

LCD Keypad:

ON: AWAY

PART 1

Fixed-Glass Keypad:

Arm LED lit LED Keypad:

Arm LED lit

Exit through a door designated by your installer as an exit/entry door. You

must leave within the exit time programmed by your installer. Refer to the

reference sheet for the time that has been set for your system.

WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT READY

If the system is not ready to be armed, the READY light will be off and the

display will show which zone or zones are not ready. The following

conditions will be indicated by the zone lights (LED keypad) or described on

the display:

Fast Blink .........................Alarm or tamper condition

Slow Blink/Low Intensity Bypass

Slow Pulse ........................Trouble, problem with RF receiver, or low

battery

Solid On .............................Zone faulted

Example: If the READY light is not lit and the Zone 1 light is solid on,

an alarm sensor on Zone 1 is faulted. This might mean that a door is open

or someone is walking in view of a motion sensor. Check all sensors on Zone

1 and resolve the problem. When all sensors are restored, the READY light

will come on and the zone light will go out. In this example, the display

shows:
