Notices
FCC Part 15 Information to the User Changes or modifications not expressly approved by GE Security can void the users authority to operate the equipment. FCC Part 15 Class B This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the affected equipment and the panel receiver to separate outlets, on different branch circuits. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. ACTA Part 68 This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. Located on this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company. Registration No. US:B4ZAL01B60095R The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to your telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of all device RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements as adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compliant modular jack that is also compliant. See the Installation Instructions for details. Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment must be connected to a properly installed RJ31X jack that is electrically in series and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the following diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, consult your local telephone company or a qualified installer about installing an RJ31X jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.

Figure 1. Security System Components

Panel
The panel is the heart of your system. The panel circuitry is enclosed in a steel cabinet and is installed out of the way of household or workplace traffic. The panel monitors all sensors and devices in the system and initiates a call to the central monitoring station in an alarm situation.

Touchpads
Touchpads let you communicate with and control the system.Youll use a touchpad to arm, disarm, and program your system.

Door/Window Sensors
Door and window sensors protect the perimeter of your home by detecting when a door or window is opened.

Motion Sensors
Motion detectors in hallways or individual rooms detect a person moving across the field of detection.

Environmental Sensors
Environmental sensors such as smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors remain alert for the presence of fire or carbon monoxide 24 hours a day.

Optional System Components

Your system may include optional components that add the capability to: control heating/air-conditioning report alarms by cellular phone link in case landlines are down or inoperative control/monitor the system from on- or off-site using a touchtone phone or via the Internet

Figure 2. Touchpads

Alphanumeric and Fixed Display Touchpads

Alphanumeric touchpads are mounted on a wall and provide system information by LEDs and/or displaying text messages.

Wireless Handheld Touchpad

This touchpad can be carried from room to room and used to control the system from many locations on site.

Keychain Touchpads
Keychain touchpads are handy for simple arming and disarming functions. They are wireless and can be carried off-site in a purse or pocket. They can even be programmed to operate a gate, garage door, or activate a Police or Auxiliary panic alarm.

Touchtone Phones
Your system can be set up for system operation from a touchtone phone on- or off-site. This includes arming and disarming, plus system features such as checking the system status and turning on and off lights.

Instructing the System

Most of your instructions for the system consist of this basic pattern: Command + Access Code Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and operate your security system. Before the system will process most commands, users are required to enter a 4-digit access code. Keychain touchpads do not require an access code, but are usually kept in an individuals pocket or purse. If you would rather use an actual key (Figure 3) to arm and disarm the system, your security dealer can install a special key and keyswitch in your home.

Figure 3. Arm/Disarm Key

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Beeps and LEDs How Your System Talks to You

Touchpads and interior sirens produce a variety of operating beeps to inform you of different system states and operations.

Key Beeps
A Key beep is the tone you hear when you press a button on an alphanumeric, fixed display, or handheld wireless touchpad. The sound confirms that the button was pressed adequately. Key Beeps can be turned on or off by the installer.

Status Beeps
Status beeps come from touchpads, sirens or speakers and are sounded when there is a change in the current status of the system. Status beeps are not alarms, but they do warrant your attention. There are different types of Status beeps: Exit Delay beeps indicate that an arming command has been entered and the countdown to arming has begun. Entry Delay beeps indicate that youve entered the building and the countdown to an alarm has begun. (So disarm the system as soon as you get in!) Protest beeps indicate that youre trying to arm the system with an open door or window. Chime feature beeps indicate when a door or window is opened. Trouble beeps indicate a problem with the system or one of its components. Sensor test beeps occur during a sensor test to indicate that a sensor was tested properly.

Status beeps are described in more detail throughout the manual and in Appendix A: User Sheets.

LEDs
Some touchpads have two LEDs that indicate the current system status at a glance. The red LED is labeled Armed, the green LED is labeled Ready. The table below explains LED behavior.
System Status Exit Delay Armed to Level 1-Off Armed to Level 2Stay or 3Away Entry Delay System Trouble (check system status)/Protest System OK Red Armed LED Flashing Off On Flashing Off Off On On Green Ready LED

Notification by Pager
Your system can dial the phone numbers of five different pagers to notify pager holders of important system events, including: System disarming System arming Trouble conditions Alarm conditions

For more information, see Notification By Pager.

Basic System Operations

This section describes: What Happens in an Alarm Condition Fire and Smoke Alarms Preventing Accidental Alarms Arming your System Exit and Entry Delay Times Bypassing Sensors Using the Chime Feature Basic Light Control Basic Output Control Checking the Status of Your System

For instructions on using a phone to perform any of these functions, see Using a Touchtone Phone to Operate Your System.

What Happens in an Alarm Condition

Note
Your system may or may not be monitored. If it is not monitored, no central station reports will be made.

Speakers and touchpads emit emergency tones. System lights flash (requires optional equipment and programming). Panel notifies central monitoring station for help (monitored systems only). Pagers are notified of the event (requires optional programming).

Fire Alarms
Systems with smoke and/or heat detectors monitor for smoke and/or fire 24 hours a day in all arming levels. During a fire alarm, system sirens sound a loud constant tone to alert you of a fire alarm. Individual sensors also have built-in sounders to alert occupants. You must respond quickly to fire alarms to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
To be prepared in case of a fire alarm:

Plan escape routes. Two escape routes per room are recommended. Use a different escape route if closed doors feel warm or hot to the touch. Emphasize that everyone should escape as quickly as possible. DO NOT gather any belongings, which could delay you from getting out of the building safely. Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help reduce smoke inhalation during your escape. Meet at a designated outdoor location. Emphasize that no one should re-enter the building if a fire exists. Notify the fire department from a safe location (if system is not monitored).

Automatic and Manual Fire Alarms

Automatic fire alarms occur when a smoke or heat sensor detects the threatening condition (smoke/heat from a fire) and trips the panel, causing alarm sirens to sound. Manual fire alarms are initiated by a person pressing the fire emergency panic buttons on a system touchpad or activating a manual pull fire device, causing alarm sirens to sound.
Note
While most alarms can be canceled or aborted to prevent reporting to the central monitoring station, fire alarms CANNOT be aborted and are always reported. Since many communities charge for dispatching the fire department in error, your dealer may give you specific instructions to follow in the event of an accidental fire alarm. Record these instructions in Appendix A: User Sheets under Accidental Smoke and Fire Alarms.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

If the system goes into a fire alarm automatically:

1. Immediately exit the building. 2. Notify the fire department from a safe location (if system is not monitored).
If you discover a fire emergency before the system goes into alarm automatically:

1. Press and hold both Fire button(s) for 2 seconds on the nearest touchpad or activate a manual fire pull. 2. Evacuate all occupants from the building. 3. Notify the fire department from a safe location (if system is not monitored).
Warning! Do not re-enter the building if sirens stop. The sirens in your system are programmed to stop after a certain amount of time. This does not mean it is safe to reenter the building. Only fire department personnel can determine when it is safe to re-enter.

Clearing Alarms and Resetting Smoke Detectors

Wireless smoke sensors reset themselves automatically, once they are clear of smoke. Some hardwired smoke detectors must be manually reset once they are clear of smoke. Check with your installer for reset procedures for your system.
To clear an alarm condition caused by wireless smoke sensors:

Press 1 + CODE. Touchpads display the sensor(s) that caused the alarm (alarm memory). If sirens were still active, they will stop.
To clear an alarm condition caused by hardwired smoke sensors and reset the detectors:

1. Press 1 + CODE. Touchpads display the zone(s) that caused the alarm (alarm memory). If sirens were still active, they will stop. The light on the smoke detector remains lit until it is reset. 2. Press 1 + CODE again to reset hardwired detectors and clear alarm memory.
Note
In some cases your installer may have installed a smoke detector reset switch. If so, use Step 2 only to clear alarm memory. Press and hold the switch for at least one second, then release it to reset smoke detectors.

The system may sometimes go into alarm again after clearing the alarm and resetting smoke detectors. This usually indicates there is still smoke in the chamber inside the detector, even though you may not see any smoke near it.You may need to clear this condition by fanning the air near the detector for a few seconds, then use the appropriate procedure above again.

Preventing Accidental Alarms

Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the premises after arming the system, or upon returning, before disarming the system. For example, if you arm the system then run upstairs for something you forgot, the Exit Delay time may expire. Once the Exit Delay expires, opening an armed door or moving in front of a motion detector will cause an alarm.

Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms

The following guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms. Close all doors and windows before leaving. Gather your belongings so you can exit immediately after arming the system. Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times. Make sure you leave through a designated delay door. Disarm your system immediately upon entry. Get familiar with all devices in your security system and learn how each one operates. If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion detectors.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Check the location of smoke detectors. Smoke detectors located too close to bathrooms and kitchens can trip from steam or smoke from cooking. Take note of system beeps, voice announcements, and indicator lights which indicate the current system status.

Aborting Accidental Alarms

Your system can be set up to let you abort an accidental intrusion, Police or Auxiliary alarm. If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, disarming the system within a specified time period will silence sirens and prevent the system from reporting to the central monitoring station (thus aborting the alarm). Your system will display report aborted for a few seconds, if you disarm before the alarm is reported. If you dont disarm in time to abort the central station report, the system automatically sends an alarm cancelled report to the central station when the system is disarmed. Follow the procedures of your central station to prevent a false dispatch. See Alarm Information in Appendix A to determine if this feature is enabled for your system. The Dial Abort Delay feature is factory set to 30 seconds. Your installer can change this setting from 15 - 45 seconds.
Note
Remember that fire alarms cannot be aborted/canceled. Disarming a fire alarm will only silence sirens, but the alarm is still reported. If an accidental fire alarm has sounded, follow the procedures of your central monitoring station to prevent dispatching authorities.

To cancel a Police (intrusion) or Auxiliary alarm:

1. Press 1. Touchpads display ENTER CODE. 2. Enter your Access Code. OR Enter your Access Code
Note
Programmed Idle Text is programmed by your installer and typically identifies the property. For example, ABC Bank or The Jones.

Touchpads display date and time or Programmed Idle Text. The system sounds one long beep. If youre using a Touchtone phone, see Using a Touchtone Phone to Operate Your System.

Arming and Disarming Your System

When arming the system you are turning on intrusion detection. When disarming the system you are turning off intrusion detection. Since your security needs may vary throughout the day, your system has three levels to meet these different needs. By setting your system to a particular level, only those sensors programmed to detect in that level will activate an alarm.
Note
No matter which level your system is set to, sensors programmed as active 24 hours a day (smoke sensors, heat sensors, panic buttons, and environmental sensors) continue to monitor for and report alarm conditions.

Level 1OFF
Select this level to:
Note
Entry beeps are silenced after the first keypress. They will restart after five seconds with no keypresses. You must enter your access code to completely disarm the system.

cancel an alarm and stop sirens. disarm the system when entering the armed premises (through a designated delay door). Entry delay beeps sound to remind you the system is armed and that you must disarm it. disarm the system before opening a door or window while the system is armed (such as after waking up in the morning and getting your newspaper).
To disarm to Level 1OFF using a touchpad:

1. Press 1. Touchpads display ENTER CODE. 2. Enter your Access Code. Touchpads display date and time or programmed text and the system sounds one long beep.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Keychain Touchpad Arming

Your installer can set up your keychain touchpad to arm the system in one of two ways: Press the Lock button to arm the system directly to Level 3AWAY with no Exit Delay. Using this method, you would not be able to arm to Level 2STAY. Press the Lock button once for each desired increase in arming level. For example: From Level 1 press the Lock button once to arm to Level 2, press it twice for Level 3, or press it three times to arm to Level 3 with Latchkey activated (if programmed). The Exit Delay time is applied. For more information, see Latchkey Paging.
Note
Your system can be set up to sound short beeps on exterior sirens when arming or disarming the system from outside using a keychain or wireless touchpad. This provides confirmation that an arming level change was successful. Ask your installer about this feature.

Using the Chime Feature

Turning on the Chime feature is like having a doorbell on every protected door and window. When this feature is on, interior sirens and speakers sound 2 beeps whenever anyone opens a protected door or window. The Chime feature works only in Level 1OFF.
To turn Chime on/off:

1. While in Level 1OFF, from any touchpad, Press 7 + 1. While the Chime feature is on, touchpads display, CHIME IS ON or CHIME ON.

Chime-On-Close
The Chime-On-Close feature works like the regular Chime feature, but in addition to the double beeps heard upon opening a protected door or window, the system sounds one long beep when the door or window is closed again. You can turn the Chime-On-Close feature on or off from the programming menus. Refer to Using Programming Menus for information on programming your system.

Using the Voice Chime Feature

Your system may have the ability to speak the sensor name whenever someone opens a protected door or window. When this feature is on, speakers announce, Sensor name open/closed. You can turn the Voice Chime feature on or off from the programming menus. Check with your dealer and refer to Using Programming Menus for information.

No DelayFor Instant Alarm

You can choose to turn off the Entry and Exit Delays, causing the delay doors to arm immediately. Anyone entering through a delay door when the system is set to No Delay would immediately cause an alarm. No Delay is normally used:
Note
If Quick Arm feature is on, an access code is not required. See the Quick Arm section in this manual.

When staying home after arming the system. When arming or disarming your system from outside (requires a wireless touchpad).

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Auto STAY Arming Feature

The Auto STAY Arming feature helps cut down on false alarms in the event that you arm the system to 3AWAY, but fail to leave during the Exit Delay time. Heres how it works:
If you arm the system to Level 3AWAY, and do not leave the premises within the Exit Delay time With feature turned on The system detects that no one opened and closed a delay door within the delay time. It assumes that someone is still inside and arms to 2STAY to prevent a false alarm. The system arms to Level 3AWAY regardless of whether or not a delay door has been opened and closed. Your movement inside the premises could activate a motion detector, causing an alarm.

If feature turned off

Exit Extension Arming Feature

The exit extension arming feature helps cut down on false alarms in the event that you arm the system and exit the premises, but re-enter before the exit delay expires.
If you arm the system, leave the premises, and then re-enter within the exit delay time: With feature turned on The system detects that a delay door opened twice within the delay time. It assumes you re-entered the premises, so it restarts the exit delay, giving you additional time to exit again. The exit delay continues to count down. Even if a delay door is opened a second time. Your movement inside the premises could activate a motion detector, causing an alarm.
Note
If the exit extension arming feature is on, the exit delay will be restarted only once.

If feature turned off

Arming Your System Silently

Note
If Quick Arm feature is on, an access code is not required. See Quick Arm for more information. Exit Delay is doubled when arming silently.

Use the Silent arming feature to arm your system without disturbing people throughout the house with arming status beeps. Pressing 5Silent before arming silences arming status and exit beeps from touchpads and interior sirens, only for the current arming period. 1. From any touchpad, press 5.
To arm your system silently:

Note

2. Within 4 seconds enter: 2 + CODE or 3 + CODE.

BypassingArming With a Door or Window Open

Note
Smoke/heat sensors cannot be bypassed.

It is possible to arm your system while leaving a door or window open. This is useful if, for example, you like to sleep at night with a window open. If the door or window has a sensor installed on it, the system must be told to ignore or bypass that sensor when its open. All other sensors remain active. There are two methods for bypassing a sensor: Directly After arming the system, bypass door/window sensors before you open them. You must know the sensor number of the door or window you wish to bypass. Your installer can include the zone number as part of the sensor text. Indirectly As you are arming, bypass sensors on doors and windows that are already open. This method should not be used in UL Listed installations.

Note

When a sensor is bypassed, you are allowing that door or window to be unprotected.

Bypassing a Sensor Directly

Use this method if the system is armed and you would like to open a window without disarming. Refer to the Appendix A: User Sheets to determine the sensor number you wish to bypass.
Note
You cannot bypass sensors directly using a keychain touchpad.

To bypass sensors directly:

1. Close all doors and windows. 2. Arm your system to the desired level.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

3. At any touchpad, press # + CODE (# is labeled Bypass) 4. Touchpads display, BYPASS SENSOR _ _, or ENTER SNSR _ _. Enter the desired sensor number. 5. Touchpads display, BYPASSED ZONES 01, or SENSOR 01 BYPASSED, for example. 6. If the touchpad displays INVALID, or FAILURE, or if the touchpad sounds one long beep, make sure that you entered a valid sensor number. Smoke/heat sensors cannot be bypassed. 7. Bypass other sensors if desired, by repeating Step 3. 8. The bypassed doors or windows can now be opened.
To arm (unbypass) bypassed sensors:

1. Repeat the above procedure substituting the bypassed sensor number or, 2. Close bypassed doors and/or windows and arm your system again.

Bypassing a Sensor Indirectly

Use this method if you are arming the system and would like to bypass doors and windows already open.
To bypass sensors indirectly:

1. Leave open only those doors and windows that are to remain open. Close all others. 2. Arm your system to the desired level. The touchpad emits protest beeps and displays PROTEST, because of the open sensor(s). 3. At any touchpad press # (Bypass). Touchpads with displays show, BYPASSED ZONES 01, or SENSOR 01 BYPASSED, for example. 4. The system sounds arming level beeps to indicate that the system is armed and open sensors have been successfully bypassed.
To arm (unbypass) bypassed sensors:

1. Close bypassed doors and/or windows. 2. Arm your system again.

To bypass sensors indirectly using a keychain touchpad:

1.

Press the

10

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Refer to the User Sheets in Appendix A to determine which light number is associated with which lamp.

Basic Output Control

Your system may be set up with programmed outputs that control special hardware installed in your system. These outputs are usually set up to turn on automatically in response to certain events. Your installer may have configured your system so that you can control some outputs from your touchpad. Have the installer list and explain any outputs that are programmed for your control. Use the following procedure to turn an output on or off.
To turn the output on or off:

From any touchpad press 7 + 7 + output number. If the output was already activated, it will shut off. If the output was off, it will activate.

Checking the Status of Your System

Checking the system status means finding out about the current condition of your system. This includes finding out if any sensors are open or currently bypassed, whether or not the AC power and backup battery are okay, the nature of the most recent alarm, and more, depending on the features in use and the equipment in your system. Check the system status if: Your system sounds trouble beeps (five short beeps every minute). Your touchpads display, ALARM, and POLICE, AUXILIARY, or FIRE. Your touchpads display, PRESS STATUS or a blinking .

If an alarm or system trouble condition has occurred, it is displayed on a touchpad the first time you perform a Short or Full Status check. Performing a system status check a second time displays the system status including any trouble conditions. If any alarm or system trouble is active, it continues to show up in every status check until the system is disarmed.

Short System Status

A Short Status indicates the current arming level, sensor status (whether open or bypassed), low battery, supervisory, auxiliary phone, AC power or backup battery failures.
To get a Short System Status:

Press * (* is labeled Status.) The system sounds beeps according to the current arming level (one for Level 1, two for Level 2, three for Level 3). Touchpads display and optional voice modules announce the status information, for example, SYSTEM IS OK, or SENSOR 02 OPEN.

Full System Status

A Full Status combines the Short Status information with added details about specific system features.
To get a Full System Status:

1. Press * + *. Interior sirens sound beeps according to the current arming level. Touchpads display and optional voice modules announce the status information, for example, SYSTEM IS OK, SENSOR 03 BYPASSED, SYSTEM BATTERY IS OK, AC POWER IS OK. If the optional Energy Saver module or RF Thermostat is installed, the system displays/announces its status (on/off) and the current temperature (if on).

Panic Alarms

Panic alarms are easily activated from any touchpad to quickly alert the central monitoring station to a Fire, Police, or Auxiliary emergency so the correct personnel can be dispatched immedi-

12

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Even though reaching the time-out stops the sirens, the alarm will still be in progress until the system is manually disarmed.

Access Codes

The system requires a valid access code before it will process most commands. There is one System Master code which serves as the primary User Programming code for your system. Only a very limited number of users will need to know this code. Concord 4 systems have six Partition Master codes (one for each partition) which allow access to system operations in their respective partitions. Concord Express V4 systems are single partition systems with no partition master codes.
Note
Partitions are individual security systems within the same control panel. Partitioned systems are typically used for large buildings with several entry/exit points and different access/operating hours. They also work well for small strip malls, duplexes, and quad-homes where one control panel can provide individual security for six different tenants.

Concord 4 systems have 230 Regular User codes (000-229), while Concord Express V4 systems have 16 Regular User codes (00-15). These codes act like keys to arm and disarm the system. If necessary, they can be assigned to neighbors, baby-sitters, or repair persons for temporary use. Regular user codes can be changed in User Programming and are easily deleted from the system when no longer necessary.

Programming Access Codes

The code you use to enter User Programming determines which features such as codes and code attributes youll be able to change. A user code can be given certain attributes that limit what the user can do within the system. Attributes may be changed by you, or by a dealer over the phone using downloading software. The User Sheets in Appendix A provide a location for you to record the actual user codes and the attributes of each. If you need assistance in changing any code attributes contact your dealer.

Access Code Integrity

To preserve the integrity of your system, keep access codes confidential and delete extra codes as soon as they are no longer needed. Avoid using obvious code patterns such as 1234, 1111, 2222, etc.

System Master Code Privileges

Using the System Master code to enter User Programming lets you: Change the System Master code. Change or delete the Partition Master code in the current partition. Change or delete Regular User codes in the current partition.

The default System Master code is 1234. It is important that you change this default and record the new code on the User Sheets in Appendix A.

Partition Master Code Privileges

Using the Partition Master code to enter User Programming lets you: Change the Partition Master code in the current partition. Change or delete Regular User codes in the current partition.

There are no default Partition Master codes. Record all codes on the User Sheets in Appendix A.

Regular User Code Privileges

You cannot enter User Programming with a Regular User code.

The Touchpad Tamper Feature

The installer can program your system to activate a Police alarm in the case of possible touchpad tampering.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

13

If more than 40 keys are pressed when the system asks for a code, and those keystrokes are not part of a valid access code, a siren will sound. Talk to your installer or see Appendix A Touchpad Information on page 44 to see if this feature is enabled.

Changing or Erasing User Codes

A Touchtone phone can be used to change or erase user codes, but alphanumeric or fixed display touchpads work much better because of their extensive feedback. See Appendix C for phone programming instructions.

The frequency or pitch of chime and trouble beeps from each fixed display touchpad can be adjusted individually to a more desirable or distinct tone. Chime and trouble beep tones sound using the default frequency during, or within 15 seconds of any button activity at that specific touchpad.
To change status tone pitch:

1. Press and hold * + 0 until you hear a steady tone, then release the buttons. 2. Press and hold 1 to lower the pitch or press and hold 2 to raise the pitch. 3. Release the button when the desired pitch is heard. After about 15 seconds of no touchpad activity, the steady tone stops sounding.

Adjusting the System Status Voice Volume

If your system includes an optional voice module, you may want to adjust the volume at which system status messages are announced.
To change the voice volume:

1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 043. 3. Select a volume level 1 7 (7 being the loudest) and press #. 4. Press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.

Adjusting the Touchpad Display Brightness

You may want to change the brightness of a touchpad display based on its location in a building or room. For example, dim the touchpad display in a bedroom or enhance a display near a window. Changing the touchpad display affects only the touchpad currently being used.
To change touchpad display brightness:

1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 043.

16

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

3. Select a brightness level: 0 + # Off

1 + # Low 2 + # Medium 3 + # High 4. Press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.

After dimming the display, pressing any button momentarily returns the display to full brightness. After 15 seconds without touchpad activity, the display returns to the set dimmed level. If an alarm occurs while the display is dimmed, it automatically returns to the full brightness level and stays that way until you disarm your system.

Using the Energy Saver Feature

Use the optional Energy Saver feature to keep the premises within a user-designated temperature range. High and low temperature points that you set override your normal heating and air conditioning temperature settings. Doing so allows you to use more energy-efficient settings when you are away.

Energy Saver Example

At your touchpad, you set a high temperature point (to trigger the air conditioner) and a low temperature point (to trigger the furnace). This needs to be done only once, but can be changed easily if necessary. Lets say that you usually keep the temperature in your home at 68 F, but since no one will be there during the day, you turn the Energy Saver feature on. If youve set the low temperature point to 55 F, the furnace will keep the house heated to 55 F. Youre about to return home and would like the house to be heated to its normal 68 F when you arrive. If your system includes remote access, you can simply call home and turn the Energy Saver feature off, giving control back to the furnace thermostat (68 F).

Control your air conditioning temperatures in the same manner. In addition to controlling temperature, the Energy Saver feature notifies the central monitoring station if your heating or air conditioning unit failsbefore pipes freeze or pets are harmed by extreme heat or cold.

Setting the Energy Saver High and Low Temperature Settings

Initially, you must set the energy saver to the desired high and low temperatures. This is done only once, unless you want to change temperature settings. The high and low settings you enter do not control heating and cooling systems, but determine the point at which the furnace or air conditioner is activated (see Figure 5).

Pager Messages
When an event is reported on a numeric pager, the following information is included:

Event Code

Last four digits of central station account number Sensor number or user number

Figure 6. Pager Messages

Although all three types of information can be reported on your pager, your pager service determines how the information will actually appear.

Event Code in Page

This number identifies what has happened.

Creating Time Schedules

Time schedules are windows of time defined by a start time, a stop time, and the days of the week these times are effective. You can create up to 16 time schedules for setting up the following system features: light control, output control, arming, Latchkey Paging, and Notify by Exception reports. A Touchtone phone can be used to create time schedules, but alphanumeric or fixed display touchpads work much better because of their extensive feedback. See Appendix C for phone programming instructions.
To define a time schedule:

1. At an alphanumeric or fixed display touchpad, enter programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 05 nn 0 where nn is schedule 00 through 15. 3. Enter the start time in 24-hour format (00:0023:59), then press #. The touchpad displays the new start time. 4. To display the current stop time for this schedule, press B once. 5. Enter the stop time in 24-hour format, then press #. The touchpad displays the new stop time. 6. Press B until the touchpad displays a day of the week you wish to assign this schedule to. 7. Enter 2 + # to include the day in the schedule (ON).

1 +# to exclude the day in the schedule.

8. Press B to move to the next day of the week or press * and repeat steps 28 to define another time schedule. 9. When finished defining time schedules, press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.

Scheduling Consecutive Days

There may be instances when youd like to schedule a feature event to start one day and stop the next day or a number of days later.

One Day Rollover

You can create a schedule that begins on one day, and stops the next day by using only one time schedule. (The stop time must be within 24 hours of the start time.)

20

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Example 1 of One Day Rollover

At home youd like the Latchkey Opening feature to be effective from 10 p.m. on Tuesday until 5 a.m. on Wednesday (see Figure 8 Example 1). By taking advantage of One Day Rollover, one time schedule can cover both days. (That schedule is illustrated in Figure 8.) Notice how the stop time is within 24 hours of the start time. The system knows to apply the stop time to the next day (5 a.m. on Wednesday).
Example 2 of One Day Rollover

Building on Example 1, lets say that youd like the Latchkey Opening feature to be effective between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., Monday through Friday (ending Saturday morning). By simply applying the start and stop times to each day, one time schedule can cover the entire week (see Figure 8 Example 2).

Multiple Day Rollover

The simplest method for defining a window of time that spans multiple days is to use 99:99 to signify an open start or stop time.
Example of Multiple Day Rollover

At your business youd like specific lights to remain lit from Friday afternoon through the weekend, until Monday morning. In this situation, the lights need to be scheduled to roll over until they reach a recognizable stop time. In the Figure 8 Example 3, Schedule Y is set up to begin at 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon. Since the stop time is 99:99, the lights will remain lit (roll over) until a recognizable stop time is reached. Schedule Z is set up with an undefined start time (99:99), so if the lights were already lit, they will remain lit until the Schedule Z stop time is reached at 5 a.m.

Attaching Time Schedules

For any schedule to be effective, it needs to be attached to a feature. One schedule can be attached to more than one feature event. See Advanced Light Control for information on attaching time schedules for light control. See Controlling Outputs By Time Schedule for information on attaching time schedules to outputs. See Schedule Arming for information on attaching schedules to Arming.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

21

See Opening and Closing Reports for information on creating opening and closing schedules. See Latchkey Paging for information on attaching time schedules to Latchkey Paging. See Notify By Exception for information on attaching time schedules to Notify by Exception.

Time Schedules and Partitions

Once a schedule is attached to a feature event in one partition, that schedule becomes unavailable to the other partitions. This prevents the situation where one partition changes a time schedule that inadvertently affects other partitions.

Advanced Light Control

You can control system lights from any touchpad, as discussed in Basic Light Control. There are other lighting options that you or your installer can set up, including: Turning lights on and off according to a time schedule. Turning lights on after system arming for the duration of the Exit Delay. Turning lights on for the duration of the Entry Delay so you have enough light to see your way to the touchpad to disarm the system. Flashing lights on and off upon successful arming and disarming.

Controlling Lights By Time Schedule

Lights can be turned on according to time schedules. If you need assistance setting up a time schedule that fits your lighting needs, see Creating Time Schedules.
To schedule lights:

1. At an alphanumeric or fixed display touchpad, enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 0640 + #. 3. Press B until the touchpad displays the light number you would like to schedule. Refer to Appendix A: User Sheets to determine which light number is associated with which lamp. 4. Press #. The touchpad displays the first available time schedule. 5. Enter 2 + # to assign the time schedule (ON) for this light.

1 + # to make the time schedule inactive for this light. 6. Press B to go to the next time schedule, if needed, and turn the schedule on or off for this
light. 7. When youve finished attaching the desired time schedules, press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.

Controlling Lights with Sensors

Your security system can be programmed to turn on a selected light or lights when sensors are activated. Each time the chosen sensor is activated, the attached light(s) will turn on for 5 minutes. When 5 minutes have passed since the last activation, the light(s) will turn off. For example, if you want house lights to turn on when you open the front door, simply attach the desired lights to the front door sensor.
Note
If a light is attached to a sensor and a schedule, the light will only turn on and off within the scheduled start and stop times.

To attach lights to sensors:

1. At an alphanumeric or fixed display touchpad, enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 080. The touchpad displays LIGHT n TO Sn x or LT n SN x, (where n is the light number and x is the sensor number).

22

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

3. Press A or B until the light number (19) you would like to activate appears. 4. Enter the sensor number (196 for Concord 4, 1-32 for Concord Express V4) you wish to activate the light and press #. 5. Press B to assign another light to a sensor or press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.
To detach lights from sensors:

1. At an alphanumeric or fixed display touchpad, enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2.

Opening and Closing Reports

The Opening and Closing Reports feature allows pager holders and/or the central station to be notified whenever the system is armed and/or disarmed.

When Will this Feature Be Active?

The Opening and Closing Reports feature can be enabled only by the installer. There is nothing more that the user needs to program in order to receive the Opening and/or Closing pages. If a pager holder no longer wishes to receive the reports, the pager holder needs to contact the installer to turn off this option for that pager. Opening and Closing Reports occur without regard to any time schedule. There are no special codes that the user needs to enter in order for the page to be sent.

Who Will Be Paged?

Your system can call up to 5 different pager numbers, as well as the central station, to report an Opening and/or Closing Report. Refer to Appendix A: User Sheets to see which pagers have been set up to receive a page for this feature. Contact the installer if you would like to turn Opening and Closing Reports on or off for any programmed pager or for the central station.

What Will the Pager Report?

For Opening Reports, the page reports the arming level as 111 (1OFF) and the user. For Closing Reports, the page reports the arming level as 222 (2STAY) or 333 (3AWAY), and the user that armed to that level. See Notification By Pager for more information.

Latchkey Paging

The Latchkey Paging feature allows programmed pager holders to be notified when the system is armed and/or disarmed during specific hours or under certain conditions. For example, you could program the Latchkey feature to page you if your child doesnt arrive home and disarm the system (using a code with the Latchkey attribute) by the programmed Latchkey time.

Page In the Event of...

You can set up the Latchkey Paging feature to send a page in the following situations: Send a page when the system is disarmed. (Latchkey Opening) Send a page when the system is armed. (Latchkey Closing)

Who Will Be Paged?

Your system can call up to 5 different pager numbers to report a Latchkey Opening and/or a Latchkey Closing. Latchkey pages do not report to the central station. Refer to Appendix A: User Sheets to see which pagers have been set up to receive a page for this feature. Contact the installer if you would like to turn Latchkey Paging on or off for any programmed pager.

Who Can Send a Page?

Only Latchkey-designated users can cause a Latchkey page to be sent. By default, this includes the first six Regular User codes. If you would like to include a keychain touchpad as a latchkey user, contact your installer. Any regular user code can be programmed with this attribute. See Assigning Code Attributes.

24

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

What Will the Pager Report?

For Latchkey Opening Reports, the page reports the arming level as 111 (1OFF) and the user. For Latchkey Closing Reports, the page reports the arming level as 222 (2STAY) or 333 (3 AWAY), and the user that armed to that level. See Notification By Pager.

Latchkey Opening
The installer can set up Latchkey Opening for one of two types of use: Basic and Advanced.

Basic Latchkey Opening

If your system is set up for Basic Latchkey, there are two ways to send a Latchkey Opening page:
Based on Time Schedule Only

1. Assign the Latchkey Opening feature a time schedule. (This needs to be done only once.) 2. Arm the system. 3. Disarming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user within the assigned time schedule, sends an Opening page.
Based on Latchkey Modifier 6 Only

1. Arm the system, then press 6, or press the Lock button on a keychain touchpad after arming to 3AWAY. 2. Disarming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user sends an Opening page, regardless of assigned time schedule:

Advanced Latchkey Opening

If your system is set up for Advanced Latchkey use, there is one way to send a Latchkey Opening page: 1. Assign the Latchkey Opening feature a time schedule. (This needs to be done only once.) 2. Arm the system, then press 6, or press the Lock button on a keychain touchpad after arming to 3AWAY. 3. Disarming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user within the assigned time schedule, sends an Opening page: In Advanced Latchkey use, paging is available only during the time schedule(s) that you assign to it.

Latchkey Closing
Latchkey Closing can be used alone, or in addition to Latchkey Opening. 1. Assign the Latchkey Closing feature a time schedule. 2. The system is disarmed. 3. Arming of the system by a Latchkey-designated user within the assigned time, schedule sends a Closing page: A Touchtone phone can be used to set up Latchkey paging, but touchpads work much better because of their extensive feedback. See Appendix C for touchpad and phone programming instructions.

Assigning a Time Schedule to Latchkey Paging

Follow these steps to attach a time schedule to Latchkey Opening and/or Latchkey Closing. If you need assistance setting up a time schedule that fits your needs, see Creating Time Schedules.
Scheduling Latchkey Opening and/or Closing:

1. At an alphanumeric or fixed display touchpad, enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 0600 + #.

To apply the Latchkey modifier using a keychain touchpad:

Press the Lock

button when the system is armed to level 3AWAY.

Notify by Exception

The Notify by Exception feature allows programmed pager holders and/or the central station to be notified when arming or disarming occurs outside of specified time schedules. Here are two specific examples of how the Notify by Exception feature might be used in a business setting: Every morning youd like to be notified if your business is disarmed after its normal opening time. Every evening youd like to be notified if your business is armed before its normal closing time.

Page In the Event of...

You can set up the Notify by Exception feature to page in the following instances: Send a page if the system is disarmed before the Opening time schedule begins or after the Opening time schedule has ended. (Exception Opening) Send a page if the system is armed before the Closing time schedule begins or after the Closing time schedule has ended. (Exception Closing)

Who Will Be Paged?

Your system can call up to 5 different pager numbers to report an Open Exception and/or Closed Exception. You can request that the central station receive these two reports as well. Refer to Appendix A: User Sheets to see which pagers have been set up to receive a page for this feature. Contact the installer if you would like to turn the Notify by Exception feature on or off for any programmed pager or the central station.

26

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Who Can Send a Page?

All user codes and keychain touchpads will send a page if used while Notify by Exception feature is in effect.

What Will the Pager Report?

Exception Opening Reports report the arming level as 111 (1OFF) and the user that disarmed the system. Exception Closing Reports report the arming level as 222 (2STAY) or 333 (3AWAY), and the user that armed to that level. See Notification By Pager.

When Will this Feature Be Active?

The most typical setup of this feature makes use of both Exception Opening and Exception Closing. (It is possible to use only Exception Opening or only Exception Closing, however.)

Assigning a Time Schedule to Exception Opening and Closing

Follow these steps to define Opening and Closing schedules for Exception paging. If you need assistance setting up a time schedule that fits your needs, see Creating Time Schedules. A Touchtone phone can be used to set up Notify by Exception, but touchpads work much better because of their extensive feedback. See Appendix C for programming instructions.
Scheduling Exception Opening and/or Closing:

1. At an alphanumeric or fixed display touchpad, enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 0620 + #. 3. To schedule: Exception Opening, press # when the touchpad displays EXCEPTION OPENING or ECEPT OPEN, then press #. Exception Closing, press B until the touchpad displays EXCEPTION CLOSING or ECEPT CLOSE, then press #. 4. The touchpad displays the first available time schedule. 5. Enter 2 to assign the time schedule to the event.

1 to make the time schedule inactive for the event. 6. Press # to secure your choice. 7. Press B to go to the next schedule and repeat step 5.
8. When youve finished attaching the desired time schedules, press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.

The No Activity Feature

The system can monitor the activity in your home and automatically call for help if normal activities are not detected within a defined period of time. For example, if someone falls and cant move, the system detects that normal activities such as placing outgoing calls or opening doors and windows, have not occurred for a predetermined amount of time. The system sounds a low-volume auxiliary alarm to let you know there may be a problem. If all is well, you can stop the siren by disarming your system. If no one disarms the system for 5 minutes, your system calls the central monitoring station. The central monitoring station will respond in accordance to the guidelines set forth in your monitoring agreement. Refer to Appendix A: User Sheets to see if the No Activity feature is currently available to you and the duration of the No Activity setting. If the feature is not currently available to you and you wish to have it, contact your dealer.

Using the Panel Download Feature

Downloading is performed only by your dealer using software specifically designed for this system. It allows the dealer to change programming without sending a service person to the site. Turning the Download feature on gives the dealer remote access to your system in order to: Update your account.

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

Using a Partitioned System (Concord 4

systems only)

Concord 4 systems can be set up by your installer to operate as a multiple-partitioned system. Partitioned systems provide security for up to six individual customers or areas of a building from a single control panel. Partitioned systems are useful in strip malls or multi-family housing.

Global Settings
Global system settings affect all partitions. Most are set by the installer. Global settings that are programmed by the user include: Time and Date System Master code

Partition-Specific Settings
Partition-specific settings affect only one partition. User-programmable, partition-specific settings include: 6 Partition Master codes (1 per partition) 230 Regular User codes (total for all partitions combined) 16 time schedules (total for all partitions combined) 9 Advanced Light Control set-ups available to each partition Latchkey feature Notify by Exception feature Scheduled Arming feature Speaker volume settings Energy Saver feature and its high and low setpoints.

To program any of these features for another partition, you must enter the User Programming menu from a touchpad in that partition, or jump into that partition, then enter the User Programming menu.

Jumping Partitions
Note
If your system uses just one partition, skip this section.

Typically, you would operate Partition 1 from a touchpad within Partition 1. However, if you have access to Partition 3 and want to avoid walking a long distance to a Partition 3 touchpad, you can access Partition 3 from the Partition 1 touchpad by jumping partitions. Depending on how your installer programmed your system, you may or may not have to enter an access code to jump partitions. The ability to jump to another partition is an attribute you assign to each user code (see Assigning Code Attributes). Each code has unique partition number assignments that it can control. By default, the System Master is the only code that can jump partitions. Refer to the Appendix A: User Sheets to see if any other access codes have the ability to jump partitions.

28

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

To jump partitions using an access code:

1. From any hardwired touchpad, press 8 + CODE + 6. Touchpads display, ENTER PARTITION or ENTER CMD. 2. Press the desired partition number (1 - 6). The touchpad sounds one short beep if the jump was successful. One long beep means the jump was not successful. Alphanumeric touchpads display the text in the newly entered partition. 3. Proceed to arm, disarm, or program as needed. The partition assignment reverts back if no touchpad buttons are pressed for 10 seconds.
To jump partitions without using an access code:

1. From any hardwired touchpad, press 7 + 4. Touchpads display, ENTER PARTITION or ENTER CMD. 2. Press the desired partition number (1 - 6). The touchpad sounds one short beep if the jump was successful. One long beep means the jump was not successful. Alphanumeric touchpads display the text in the newly entered partition. 3. Proceed to arm, disarm, or program as needed. The partition assignment reverts back if no touchpad buttons are pressed for 10 seconds.

Arming and Disarming Another Partition

Any access code that can jump to another partition can control that partition. Once in the other partition, you must use a valid code for arming and disarming that partition.

Programming Another Partition

Only System Master and Partition Master codes can be used for programming. Only one partition can be programmed at a time. When one partition is in the programming mode, touchpads in the other partition are locked out from any programming activity. However, arming and disarming can continue. Some partition-specific settings share resources, such as access codes and time schedules. For example, if Partition 1 uses Regular User numbers 00 through 20, Partition 2 will not be able to see or use those user numbers. The first Regular User number available for Partition 2 would be 21. The allocation of time schedules works in much the same manner. There are 16 schedules that can be used by any partition, but as soon as Partition 1 attaches a schedule to any event, that schedule cannot be used by another partition, and vice versa.

Arming and Disarming Multiple Partitions at the Same Time

Note
Check with your installer to identify which keychain touchpads can arm/disarm multiple partitions.

Your system may be set up to let you simultaneously arm and disarm more than one partition. This can be done from system touchpads or keychain touchpads assigned to the associated partitions.
To arm multiple partitions at the same time from a touchpad:

1. Press 2 or 3 on any touchpad assigned to one of the partitions you want to arm. The display shows ENTER CODE. 2. Enter your Access Code. The display shows all the partitions that will be armed. 3. Press # to arm all displayed partitions. Or, Press the number of any partitions you dont want armed (the partition numbers disappear from the display), then press #.
To disarm multiple partitions at the same time from a touchpad:

Notes on Arming/Disarming Multiple Partitions from Alphanumeric and Fixed Display Touchpads

A partition cannot be armed or disarmed if it is being controlled by another source at that time. For example, if you are at a Partition 1 touchpad and are attempting to arm Partitions 1 and 2, a Partition 2 touchpad in use at that same time prevents arming of that partition. Any arming modifiers (4No Delay, 6Latchkey) selected at arming apply to all associated partitions. However, silent arming (5Silent) only affects the partition you are arming from. All other partitions sound exit beeps to notify occupants that those partitions are arming. When arming multiple partitions, any conditions that prevent arming (open, trouble, active alarm, etc.) are identified on system touchpad displays with the affected partition number flashing. (If arming from a keychain touchpad, the condition is displayed on touchpad displays in the affected partition, while other touchpad displays show PROTEST). The normal protest/auto force arm sequence follows, or you can press * to cancel the arming request. When disarming multiple partitions, any partitions in alarm have the affected partition number flashing on system touchpad displays. Pressing # cancels all alarms in the associated partitions. Alarm memory information is then displayed for all canceled alarms.

Notes on Arming/Disarming Multiple Partitions from Keychain Touchpads

A partition cannot be armed or disarmed if it is being controlled by another source at that time. For example, if you press the Lock button attempting to arm Partitions 1 and 2, a Partition 2 touchpad in use at that same time prevents arming. When arming multiple partitions, any conditions that prevent arming (open, trouble, active alarm, etc.) are identified on system touchpad displays in the affected partition, while other touchpad displays show PROTEST. The normal protest/auto force arm sequence follows, or you can press * on a system touchpad to cancel the arming request. Pressing the Lock button again during the protest condition bypasses any open sensors in the associated partitions and arms those partitions. When disarming multiple partitions and alarms are active in one or more of the associated partitions: a). Protest beeps sound for five minutes in all partitions being disarmed; b). Partitions in alarm where sirens have timed out sound protest beeps for five minutes; c). Partitions in alarm with active sirens continue sounding the alarm.

Warning! Anytime alarms are active, the premises may not be safe to enter. Proceed as follows: 1.) Leave and call for help from a safe location and wait for authorities to arrive. 2.) When it is determined safe to enter the premises, go to a system touchpad and check the system status to determine the alarm source. Disarm and alarm memory is displayed for all associated partitions. 3). Press the Unlock button a second time (within the five minute protest period) to disarm all associated partitions and cancel all alarms, then go to a system touchpad and check alarm memory to determine the alarm source.

Macro Keys

Your system may include touchpads with macro keys that allow one-touch operation. These are four buttons located at the bottom of the touchpad. From the factory these buttons are labeled and work as follows: CHIMEpress once to turn chime on, press again to turn chime off. STAYpress once to arm to Level 2STAY.

30

Concord 4 Series Security Systems


Note

EXIT press once to use the Quick Exit feature.

Macro Keys should not be programmed to disarm the system.

AWAYpress once to arm to Level 3AWAY. Your installer can also program these buttons to perform a system command different from those described. For example, instead of entering the command 2 + CODE + 4 + 6 (arm to STAY with No Delay and Latchkey), your installer can program one of the macro keys to perform the task with just one press. Check with your installer for more information.

System Information

There is information about your system that is useful to know. This includes the factory code, the system number, the system level, and software version. After identifying the information for your system, make a note of it in the Appendix A: User Sheets.
To identify system information:

1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press 010. The first information displayed is the factory code. For example, F nnn nnnn, or FACTORY CODE nnn * nnnn. Press B to display the system number. For example, N nnnnnnn, or SYSTEM NUMBER nnnnnnn. Press B to display the system level. For example, L nnnn, or SYSTEM LEVEL nnnn. Press B to display the software version. For example, P nnnn, or SW VERSION nnnnx. 3. Press * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.

Viewing the Event Buffer

Note
Fixed Display Touchpads cannot be used to view the event history.

You have the option to view the event history for each partition of your system. These events include arming, disarming, tampers, programming entries, just to name a few.

Overview
The System Master Code can view all events from any partition. The partition masters can only view global system events and events related to their respective partition. Regular user codes cannot view event history. All partitions can view event history simultaneously, but only one touchpad at a time can view the history in each partition. While the event history is being viewed, all other controlling sources are disabled (except for panic alarm buttons) and non-viewing touchpads display VIEWING EVENT BUFFER.
To view event history:

1. The current partition must be armed to level 1 or 2. 2. At an alphanumeric touchpad, press 8 + System or Partition Master CODE + 8. The touchpad displays VIEWING EVENT BUFFER followed by the event description, date/time or details (user, source, zone, etc). The most recent event appears first. Scroll through the events by pressing the A (back) and B (forward) keys. The C key is used to toggle the second line display between Date/Time and Details. Press the * key to exit Viewing Event History.

Using a Touchtone Phone to Operate Your System

Your system may be equipped with an option that allows system operation from a Touchtone phone, on or off the premises. This option enables programmed text to be spoken through the phone and/or broadcast through interior speakers. Except for custom words, the voice speaks the text that appears on alphanumeric touchpads in the system.

Phone Command Prefix

What distinguishes a call to the panel from any other out-going or incoming call is the use of the Phone Command Prefix: In the case of on-site operation, if the Phone Command Prefix is dialed first (within 5 seconds of picking up the phone), the panel waits for a valid access code or command. If the system is being accessed remotely, the Phone Command Prefix is used in conjunction with the access code.

The prefix is usually #, but can be changed to * by the installer. If your prefix has been changed, use * as the first key you press instead of #.

Accessing the System from Off-site

To access the system from off-site, the system needs to recognize two things about the call: The panel needs to recognize that it should answer the phone. The panel needs to recognize that the code entered has the authority to operate the system from off-site.

34

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

When using a cellular phone to operate the system, follow the off-site operating instructions.

How the Panel Answers the Phone

When you call the panel, it needs to recognize that it should answer the incoming call. This is accomplished by one of two methods: Ring-Hang-Ring method Twelve-Ring method

Ring-Hang-Ring Method

You can use this method if there is no chance that an answering machine or person will pick up the call on the first ring. 1. Call the panel. (In most cases this is the same number as the regular phone.) 2. Let the phone ring once, then hang up. 3. Wait between 8 and 30 seconds, then call the system again. This time the panel will answer (System hello,) on the first ring. 4. Enter # (your designated Phone Command Prefix). 5. Enter your access CODE. You hear a short status message, such as, System is OK. 6. Proceed with system commands.
Twelve-Ring

You can use this method if there is no chance that an answering machine or person will pick up the call before the twelfth ring. 1. Call the panel and let the phone ring. The panel will answer System hello after the twelfth ring. 2. Enter # (your designated Phone Command Prefix). 3. Enter your access CODE. You hear a short status message, such as, System is OK. 4. Proceed with system commands.

Codes with Remote Access Capability

The ability to access the system from off-site is determined by a code attribute (see Assigning Code Attributes). Check the User Sheets in Appendix A to see which access codes have the ability to operate the system from off-site.

Touchtone Phone System Operation

Phone operation of your system involves 2 steps:
Step 1. Use a Touchtone phone to access the system. Local Phone Access Remote Phone Access Pick up the phone. Within 5 seconds of picking up the phone receiver, enter # (or *). Use the Ring-Hang-Ring or the Twelve-Ring method to get the system to answer the call. Then enter # (or *) + CODE

Activating a Police Panic Alarm

Your system can be set up so you can activate a Police panic alarm from an on-site Touchtone phone. If your system is set up for this: Press the * repeatedly, regardless of your phone command prefix key. Do not wait more than two seconds between key presses. Continue pressing * even if you hear the system voice interrupt with a system status.

Off-site Touchtone phones cannot activate this alarm.

Phone Questions?
What if someone calls while Im operating the panel?

If the phone rings while youre using it to operate the system, youll hear one long beep for each ring from interior speakers and phones. You can answer the call by simply hanging up on the system, then answering the call as you normally would. Youll have to initiate another session to resume system operation.
Can I control the system while Im talking on the phone?

No.
How do I perform other phone operations without commanding my security system?

You can use your phone for transactions such as banking from home by temporarily disengaging phone control to your security system. The following procedure will work for one call at a time.
To disengage local phone control:

1. Pick up the phone and press # + 7 + 3. The system responds by returning a dial tone. 2. Wait about 5 seconds for the system to disable local phone control, then make the desired phone call. After you hang up, the system automatically enables phone control.

Testing the System

The system contains a test mode that allows you to test sensors and panic signals without creating false alarms in monitored systems. Please follow the instructions in this section carefully.

Automatic Test Features

Your security system automatically monitors for problems like power failures, low batteries, sensors that arent working, and communication trouble with the central monitoring station. When your system detects a problem, trouble beeps sound to alert you. See Troubleshooting for an explanation of trouble beep causes and what you can do to fix the problem.

Manual Tests
There are weekly system tests you can do yourself as an added safeguard. Taking time to do these tests will familiarize you with your system and alert you to anything unusual, such as cut phone lines or sensors that have been tampered with.

Sensor Test
Important !
Do not attempt to test sensors by tripping them while the system is armed. This can result in authorities being dispatched to the site, which could result in a fine.

This test verifies that the sensors in your system are operating correctly. The ability to conduct a sensor test is a code attribute. Check the User Sheets in Appendix A to see which access codes have the ability to conduct a sensor test. See Assigning Code Attributes or talk to your installer for information on changing code attributes. Sensor test reports are sent to the central station at the beginning and end of system tests.
To enter Test Mode:

1. Make sure the system is disarmed to Level 1Off. The system will not let you enter sensor test mode unless it is disarmed. 2. Press 8 + CODE + 3. Touchpads display, Press Status. System Armed to Sensor Test, or SENSOR TEST nn MINUTES LEFT. When less than 5 minutes remain in Test Mode time, the system sounds a short beep every 60 seconds. System test 3.

You will know that you have finished testing when touchpads display, SENSOR TEST OK or ZONES ALL TESTED. 4. Disarm to Level 1Off to exit Test Mode.

Phone Communication Test

The purpose of this test is to verify communication between the central monitoring station and your system. Most phone tests take only a few minutes, however, your system will try for up to 15 minutes to establish a connection if necessary.

38

Concord 4 Series Security Systems

To perform a phone communication test:

1. Disarm the system. 2. Press 8 + System or Partition Master CODE + 2. touchpads display, PHONE TEST or System Armed to PHONE TEST. 3. If the phone test is successful: systems with the optional voice feature will announce, Report OK. Within a few minutes, the touchpad display should return to the Level 1 display. If it does not return in three minutes, note how long before the Level 1 display returns and contact the installer. After the test has started, the arming level can be changed to 1Off, then to 2Stay or 3 AWAY, if you wish.

Testing Sirens
Important !
You must contact the central monitoring station before activating any alarms. Otherwise, authorities will be dispatched to the site which could result in a fine.

The purpose of this test is to verify that the panel is activating sirens with the appropriate warning sounds.
To perform an alarm siren warning sound test:

1. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them that you will be activating alarms and they should not dispatch authorities. 2. Activate alarms of each type (fire, police, auxiliary), one at a time. 3. Listen for the appropriate siren sound when each alarm is activated (see the Alarm Sounds and Status Beeps table on page 50). 4. Contact the central monitoring station to inform them when you are finished activating alarms. Your security system uses a variety of different alarm sirens, status beeps, voice messages and trouble beeps to communicate with you. The next few pages describe the different sounds and what they mean. Try to familiarize yourself with the differences. You will hear sounds each time you tell your security system to do something, like arm or disarm. Some sounds you will hear only when there is a problem with the system, like a low battery. There are also sounds you will only hear in an emergency. Getting to know your system sounds allows you to react quickly and appropriately to the messages you hear.

Troubleshooting

Trouble Beeps and Trouble Messages

When your system detects a problem, it lets you know by sounding trouble beeps from system touchpads and sirens, and by displaying trouble signals as messages on touchpads. Trouble beeps are a series of five short beeps once a minute. The table on the next page lists the causes of trouble beeps, the visual display you can expect to see, and possible solutions for the trouble condition.

Silencing Trouble Beeps

If possible, correct the situation which is causing the trouble beeps. If this is not possible, call for service. If the problem is not corrected, trouble beeps and messages start again 4 or 10 hours later. Your security system also has a feature that will prevent trouble beeps from starting during normal sleeping hours. This sleep time period is normally set from 10 pm to 8 am. Contact your installer if you wish to verify or change this setting.
To silence trouble beeps:

1. Perform a system status check by pressing * on a touchpad, 2. Change the arming level. The table on the next page describes the conditions under which trouble beeps occur and when they begin. (These sounds are heard from interior sirens and touchpads if available.)

Common Questions and Answers

Q. I cant arm my system. A. Try the following: If arming to Level 2STAY or Level 3AWAY, make sure all monitored perimeter doors and windows are closed. Press * for a system status and for clues to the problem. Call the installer.

Q. I cannot bypass a sensor: my alphanumeric touchpad displays INVALID and my fixed display touchpad sounds a single, long beep. A. Possible explanations include: The sensor youre trying to bypass may not be active in the current arming level. For example, an interior motion detector will not be active in Level 2STAY. You may be trying to bypass a 24-hour sensor that cannot be bypassed, such as a smoke detector. Your access code has not been assigned the direct bypassing attribute. See Assigning the Direct Bypassing Attribute.

Q. I cant arm my system to Level 3AWAY. A. If a delay door is open while youre trying to arm the system to Level 3 or a delay door was not activated after the arming attempt, the system will arm to Level 2 instead. Close the delay door, arm the system to Level 3, then exit through a delay door.

Phone Issues
Q. How do I disable my system long enough to retrieve messages from work or to do banking over the phone? A. Solutions include: Disengage the security system from local phone control by entering # + 7 + 3. The system responds by returning a dial tone. Pick up the phone receiver and wait 5 seconds before dialing any numbers. After the 5 second period, the system disables local phone control and ignores phone commands.

Lighting Issues
Q.My lights dont come on automatically as theyve been programmed to do. A.Try the following: Does the lamp have a working bulb? Is the lamp plugged in at a working outlet that is not controlled by a light switch? Is the lamp plugged in to a lamp module? Make sure that youve attached the correct time schedule as described in Advanced Light Control. Check to see that youve set up the time schedule correctly as described in Creating Time Schedules. Check the User Sheets in Appendix A to see in which partition the light is set up to be active.

Touchpad/Voice Feedback After Pressing * Key AC POWER FAILURE

Trouble Condition The panel power transformer may be unplugged or there may be an AC power outage. If the transformer is plugged in, check the circuit breaker or fuse that controls that outlet. The backup battery will take over, but if AC power is not restored within 15 minutes, the system will alert you and the central monitoring station (if your system is monitored). It reports again when power is restored. The emergency backup battery in the control panel is low and must be recharged or replaced. If AC power is out, the security system may shut down once the battery is below the operating level. When AC power is restored, the panel recharges the battery. If the trouble condition exists more than 24 hours after AC power is restored, call your security dealer for service. There is a problem with how the sensor is communicating with the panel. 1. Test the sensor in Test Mode. 2. If testing the sensor does not clear the trouble condition, call your security dealer for service. A sensor may have an internal problem or a fire/smoke sensor may not have properly reset after activation, or the sensing chamber may be dirty or partially obstructed. 1. Test the sensor in Test Mode. 2. If testing the sensor does not clear the trouble condition, call your security dealer for service.

If the battery is any other type, call your security dealer for service. SENSOR XX TAMPER A sensor cover is off or open. Secure the cover and trip the sensor to clear the tamper condition.

PHONE FAILURE TROUBLE The system cant communicate with the central monitoring station. The system tries to report to the central station three times before indicating Phone Failure Trouble, then makes five more reporting attempts. 1. Make sure the panel is connected to the special phone jack installed by your security dealer. 2. Disconnect the panel from the special phone jack and check phones for dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, call your security dealer for service. If you dont hear a dial tone from any phones, telephone service in your area may be out. Phone Failure Trouble takes precedence over other system problems, so you must clear the Phone Failure message (by disarming the panel) before youre able to see other system messages.

Alarm System Limitations

Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental emergencies. All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-towarn, for a variety of reasons including: If sirens are not placed within range of persons sleeping, in remote areas of the premises, or if they are placed behind doors or other obstacles. If intruders gain access through unprotected entry points or areas where sensors are bypassed. If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting any or all parts of the system. If power to sensors is disconnected or inadequate. If freeze, flood, or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the specific condition can be detected. If smoke does not reach a smoke sensor. For example, smoke sensors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke on building levels different from their installed location. Sensors may not warn in time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other hazardous conditions.

Note

Although having an alarm system can make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance.

If telephone lines are out of service. Telephone lines are also vulnerable to compromise by any of several means. Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system once each week to verify sensors, sirens, and phone communications are all working correctly.

Warning

Warning!Security systems and devices cannot compensate you for life or property losses.

If Your System Needs Service

If you have any questions about your security system or if it ever needs servicing, please contact your security dealer.

Appendix C: Programming Your System

You can program the following items on your system: System time and date User codes Schedules Schedule events Downloading feature Brightness of touchpads Volume of speakers Chime features Energy saver options Attach lights to sensors

Two Methods to Program Your System

There are 2 methods for programming your system: Programming menusOffer visual text cues from your touchpad. Programming shortcutsAllow you to type in a sequence of numbers for a specific programming task.

Either method requires a valid System or Partition Master code. You cannot program the system using a regular user code.

Using Programming Menus

The programming menus are arranged much like a computer software program. Each menu containing multiple options. To navigate through the menus, see Figure 14.

3. Press B until the touchpad displays the type of code you wish to change (Regular User codes, Partition Master Codes, or System Master code), then press #. For example, if you want to change a Regular User code, press # when the touchpad displays REGULAR USER CODES or REG CODES. 4. Press B until the touchpad displays the user code you wish to change, then press #. For example, if you want to change Regular User code 2, press # when the touchpad displays USER 02 or REG CODE 02. 5. Enter the new code and press #. 6. Press B. DIRECT BYPASSING or BYPASS appears: Press 1 + # to turn the option off for this user code. Press 2 + # to turn the option on for this user code. 7. Press B. REMOTE ACCESS or REMOTE appears: Press 1 + # to turn the option off for this user code. Press 2 + # to turn the option on for this user code. 8. Press B. SYSTEM TESTS or TESTS appears: Press 1 + # to turn the option off for this user code. Press 2 + # to turn the option on for this user code. 9. Press B. LATCHKEY REPORT or LATCH appears: Press 1 + # to turn the option off for this user code. Press 2 + # to turn the option on for this user code.
Note
Step 10 can only be performed on Concord 4 systems using the System Master Code.

10. Press B. PARTITION ASSIGN or P appears: Enter the desired partition numbers (1-6) for this user code. 11. Press * + B to move to the next user code, or * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.
To erase a user code:

Note

The system will not accept the same code for two different users.

1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press B until the touchpad displays USER CODES, then press #. 3. The touchpad displays REGULAR USER CODES or REG CODES. Press #. (You cannot delete the System Master code.) 4. Press B until the touchpad displays the user code you wish to erase, then press #. For example, if you want to change User code 4, press # when the touchpad displays USER 04 or REG CODE 04. 5. Enter the System or Partition Master code you used in Step 1 and press #. The deleted code appears as USER 04 **** or RG 01 , for example. 6. Press * + B to move to the next user code, or * + 00 + # to exit the programming menus.
To change or delete the Partition Master Code:

1. Enter the programming menus by pressing 9 + System or Partition Master CODE. 2. Press B until the touchpad displays USER CODES, then press #. 3. The touchpad displays REGULAR USER CODES or REG CODES. Press B until the display reads PARTITION MASTER CODE or PTN MASTER, then press #. 4. Enter the System Master Code to delete the existing Partition Master Code OR enter a new 4 digit Partition Master Code to replace the existing code, then press #. 5.
