The functions described in this guide are programmed by your security company. Some of them may not be included in your system. Some of the functions covered may require you to enter your personal passcode. Throughout this guide the # symbol refers to a variable numerical quantity, such as the number of points to test or exit delay time.

Using the Command Center Your security system provides quick access to functions by pressing the COMMAND bar and one or two additional keys. Another way to access functions is through the Command Menu. Access the Command Menu by pressing the MENU key. Pressing the PREV or NEXT key allows you to scroll up or down through the list of functions programmed by your security company. Pressing the ENT key initiates the function displayed. To exit the Command Menu, press the ESC key. Use the Command Menu to locate functions you don’t use often or that don’t have a command number. Command Center Function Keys Your command center has five function keys. These keys are used to control your system. COMMAND Use the COMMAND bar in combination with one or two numeric keys to perform a function. ENT/YES The ENT (Enter)/YES key has two functions. The first is to complete the entry of your passcode at the command enter. When ever a function requires that you enter your passcode at the command center, first press the digits of the code and then press the ENT key. Your system will not recognize your passcode until you press ENT. The second function of the ENT/YES key is to select the menu item displayed. Some menu items require your personal passcode be entered before starting the function. Remember to press ENT after entering your passcode. ESC/MENU The ESC (Escape)/MENU key has two functions. First, the ESC/MENU key is used to enter the Command Menu. Pressing this key when at idle text takes you to the first item in the menu. Second, pressing ESC will take you back to the idle display. PREV (Previous) When viewing a list, pressing the PREV key will take you back to the previously shown item. NEXT Press the NEXT key to pass over the present item in a menu or list. Security System Basics What is a Point? A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your security system. Points display individually at the command center with custom text. The text can describe a single door, motion sensor, smoke detector, or an area such as UPSTAIRS or GARAGE. There are two basic types of points, controlled and 24-hour. Controlled Points Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon whether the system is turned on (armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled points are programmed to respond instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for you to reach the command center and disarm the system. The words A1 # ALARMS appear before the point text when there is an alarm. There are two types of controlled points, perimeter points and interior points. Perimeter Points These points usually include all exterior doors and windows of the building. Interior Points These points usually include interior forms of burglary detection devices, such as carpet mats, motion sensors, or inside doors, for example. 24-Hour Points 24-hour points are always on, even when the burglary system is disarmed (turned off). There are two types of 24-hour points, fire points and non-fire points. Fire Points Fire points exclusively monitor fire detection devices. They are always armed and cannot be disarmed. You can clearly distinguish fire points from other non-fire points at the command center. When there is a fire alarm, the text identifying the point as a fire point is displayed; pressing the PREV key causes the summary display, such as A1 # FIRE ALARM to appear in the display and pressing NEXT displays any other points in alarm. Fire alarms have a unique audible warning signal. Non-Fire Points Non-fire points are always armed and cannot be disarmed.

There are three idle states the system may be in: • Turned on (Armed) • Turned off (Disarmed) with no points faulted (doors or windows open) in the area • Turned off with faulted points (doors or windows open) in the area. This guide uses the default idle state displays for examples of these idle st...
