New Zealand - The following is a list of warnings applicable when this equipment is connected to the New Zealand Telecom Network.
General Warning
The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item com-
plies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor
does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects
with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is com-
patible with all of Telecom's network services.
Reverse Numbering (decadic signalling)
This equipment must not be programmed for decadic (pulse) dialling because its characteristics are incompatible with
the telephone exchanges in New Zealand. DTMF (tone) dialling is considerably faster and is fully compatible.

shock and/or fire.
• For other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, glassbreak detectors or
door/window contacts, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance
instructions.
General System Operation
Your security system includes an alarm control/keypad and various sensors and detectors. The
keypad is mounted by the main entry/exit location.
The security system has several zones of area protection. Each of these zones communicates to
a single wireless sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.) or to one
or more hard-wired sensors. A sensor in alarm is indicated by messages on the LCD.
Additional features include Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for Alarm; Tamper and Trouble
signals after 3 occurrences in a given set period; and a Programmable Keypad Lockout option.
For SIA CP-01 classified installations, the swinger shutdown feature is programmed such that
one or two trips will shut down the zone. The zone will be restored after a manual reset (by enter-
ing the access code at the time of disarming the alarm system) or it will be reset automatically
after 48 hours with no trips on any zones.
NOTE: Only the installer or service professional should have access to the system.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and your central
station (if applicable) to an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but
they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security prac-
tices or life and property insurance. Your security system must be installed and serviced by qual-
ified security professionals. These professionals can instruct you on the level of protection that
has been provided and on system operations.
Language Selection
Your system can display messages in different languages.
1. Press and hold both buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
2. Using the buttons, scroll through the available languages.
3. Press , to select your desired language.
Arming and Disarming the System
Stay Arming
Stay arming will bypass the interior protection (i.e., motion sensors) and arm the perimeter of the
system (i.e., doors and windows). Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The
Ready ( ) indicator will illuminate.
Press and hold the Stay button until it beeps (approx. 2 seconds), enter your access code
or present your prox tag; do not leave the premises. During the setting state (exit delay active),
the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will illuminate.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the
keypad as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on.
The Armed ( ) indicator and a bypass message will be displayed. The system will automati-
cally ignore bypassed zones (i.e., motion sensors).
NOTE: For SIA CP-01 listed panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away
Arming Exit Delay.
NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm
Reduction, then the security system will arm in the Stay Armed mode if the exit delay time expires
and no exit has been made.
Night Arming
To night arm the system when it has been armed in Stay Mode, press , at the keypad. All
interior zones will now be armed except for devices programmed as Night Zones.
NOTE: Your installer can also program a function key on the keypad to allow you to arm the
system in Night Mode. This allows Night Arming to be activated by holding down the function key
for 2 seconds.
Night zones are only armed in Away mode; this permits limited movement within the premises
when the system is fully armed. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identifying
zones programmed as night zones.

2
When the interior zones are activated (i.e., , ) you must enter your access code or pres-
ent your proximity tag to disarm the system in order to gain access to interior areas that have not
been programmed as night zones.
Silent Exit Delay
If the system is armed using the Stay button or using the ’No Entry’ Arming method ( ,
[Access Code]), the keypad buzzer will be silenced and the exit time will be doubled for that exit
period only.
Away Arming
Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on.
To arm, press and hold the Away button for 2 seconds and/or enter your access code, present
your prox tag or press , to Quick Arm.
During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will turn on,
and the keypad will sound one beep per second. You now have ___ seconds to leave the prem-
ises (please check with your installer to have this time programmed). A keypad buzzer, whose
pulsating rate is distinct, will sound during the last ten seconds of the exit delay to warn per-
son(s) that the exit delay is running out. To cancel the arming sequence, enter your access code
or present your prox tag.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed and this is indicated on the keypad
display as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on
and the keypad will stop sounding.
The system can also be armed/disarmed with a wireless key and with prox tags. Refer to the
‘Proximity Tags’ and ‘Two-Way Wireless Key’ sections for more details.
NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm
Reduction, the following holds true: Violation and restoral, followed by a second violation of the
entry/exit zone before the end of the exit delay, will restart the exit delay.
Quick Exit
If the system is armed and you need to exit, use the Quick Exit function to avoid disarming and
rearming the system. Press and hold the Quick Exit button for 2 seconds or press , .
You now have 2 minutes to leave the premises. When the door is closed again, the remaining
exit time is cancelled.
Siren Sounds After Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In order to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper
exit when arming the system. If you fail to securely close the entry/exit door during the pro-
grammed exit delay period, the system will sound the alarm to indicate an improper exit (your
installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system). If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your access code or present your prox tag, before the entry delay timer expires, to dis-
arm the system.
3. Repeat the Away arming procedure, ensuring that the entry/exit door(s) are secured.
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready
to arm (i.e., sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens,
ensure all sensors are secure, press and try again.
Disarming
To disarm an armed system (Armed ( ) indicator is On), enter your access code or present your
prox tag. If your keypad is in sleep mode, press any key to wake it up then enter your access
code/present prox tag. The keypad will sound a continuous tone after the entry delay has been
initiated by opening the entry/exit door. Enter your code within _______ seconds to avoid an
alarm condition (check with your installer to have this time programmed).
Disarming Error
If your code/prox tag is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound.
If this happens, press and try again.

3
Remote Arming and Disarming
The system can be armed and/or disarmed, if programmed by the installer, using a remote control
device (wireless key fob). When arming the system using the Arm button on a wireless key, the sys-
tem will acknowledge the command by sounding a single bell/siren squawk, if programmed to do
so by the installer. When disarming using the disarm button on a wireless key, the system will
acknowledge the command by sounding two bell/siren squawks. Three squawks, when disarming
with the disarm button, indicates that an alarm occurred while the system was armed. If you are
unsure of the cause of the alarm, proceed with caution (see section on 2-way Wireless Keys).
Emergency Keys
Press the (Fire), (Auxiliary), or (Panic) button for 2 seconds to generate a Fire,
Auxiliary, or Panic alarm. The keypad buzzer will beep indicating that the alarm input has been
accepted and transmission to the central station is underway. The button may or may not
sound the siren depending on installer setup.
NOTE: The Fire button can be disabled by the installer.
NOTE: The Auxiliary Alarm button is not intended to be used for medical signals.
When Alarm Sounds
The system can generate 3 different alarm sounds:
• Continuous Siren = Intrusion/Burglary Alarm
• Temporal / Pulsed Siren = Fire Alarm
• 4 beeps, 5-second pause, 4 beeps = Carbon Monoxide alarm
NOTE: The priority of signals is fire alarm, carbon monoxide alarm then burglary alarm.
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren
If you are unsure of the source of the alarm, proceed with caution! If the alarm was accidental,
enter your access code or present your prox tag to silence the alarm. If the alarm system is dis-
armed within the programmed Abort Window (check with the installer if this option has been en-
abled on your system and what is the transmitter delay time programmed), no alarm transmission
to the Central Station will occur. Following the Abort Window there appears a 5-minute Cancel
Window, during which a user can cancel, by entering their access code or presenting their prox
tag, an alarm that has been previously transmitted. A cancel signal will be transmitted to the cen-
tral station and the alarm system will also announce that the cancel signal was transmitted. Call
your central station to avoid a dispatch.
Fire Alarm Pulsed Siren
Follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately!
If the fire alarm was accidental (burned toast, bathroom steam, etc.), enter your access code or

Bypassing Zones
Use the zone bypassing feature when you need access to a protected area while the system is
armed, or when a zone is temporarily out of service but you need to arm the system. Bypassed
zones will not be able to sound an alarm. As a result, bypassing zones reduces the level of
security. If you are bypassing a zone because it is not working, call a service technician immedi-
ately so that the problem can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order.
Ensure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system. Zones cannot be
bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones (except for 24-hr zones) are automatically
cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before
the next arming.

Access Codes [ ][5][Master Code] (when disarmed)
The [ ][5] User’s Programming command is used to program additional access codes.
User Codes - User codes 1-16 are available for the system.
Master Code (Access Code 40) - The master code has all of the attributes listed in the Pro-
grammable Attributes list below except for Duress (2) and One-Time Use (8) and is required to
program all supervisor code attributes.
Supervisor Codes - These codes are always valid when entering the , User Code Pro-
gramming or , User Function sections. However, these codes can only program addi-
tional codes which have equal or lesser attributes. Once programmed, the supervisor codes
receive the master code’s attributes. These attributes are changeable. Any user code can be
made a supervisor code by enabling User Code Attribute 1 (please see below for details).
Duress Codes - Duress codes are standard user codes that will transmit the Duress Alarm
Reporting Code whenever the code is entered to perform any function on the system. Any user
code can be made a duress code by enabling User Code Attribute 2 (see below for details).
One-Time Use Code - This code permits temporary access to the system for a 24-hour time
period. During the 24hr period, the temporary user may disarm the system once. There is no
restriction on the number of times the temporary user may arm the system during the time period.
NOTE: Duress codes are not valid when entering [ ][5], [ ][6] or [ ][8] sections.
NOTE: Access codes cannot be programmed as a duplicate or as a ’Code +/- 1’.
User Code Attributes

Guidelines for Locating Smoke & CO Detectors

The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes
and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms and CO Alarms:
Smoke Detectors
Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent.
Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede de-
tectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed out-
side of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes
and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms.
It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection
be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, espe-
cially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not pro-
tected by the required units.
On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing
may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated
ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-02 or other appropriate
national standards for installation recommendations.
• Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space in
these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke.
• Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement
around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit.
• Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity.
• Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38oC (100oF) or falls below
5oC (41oF).

Smoke detectors should always be installed in USA in accordance with Chapter 11 of NFPA 72,
the National Fire Alarm Code: 11.5.1.1 Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards
for a specific type of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be
installed as follows:
(1) In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.
(2) Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 6.4 m (21 ft) of any door to a
sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel.
(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements.
(4) On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including base-
ments and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
(5) In the living area(s) of a guest suite.
(6) In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility).

Household Fire Safety Audit
Read this section carefully for important information about fire safety.
Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety
audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, over-
loaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appli-
ances or household service, have a professional evaluate these units.
2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area?
Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided.
3. Are fire-hazardous materials (e.g. matches) well out of reach of children?
4. Are furnaces and wood-burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working
order? Have a professional evaluate these appliances.
Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is
thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at
night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.
NOTE: Consider the following when making your escape plans:
• Make sure that all border doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not
painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly.
• If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for res-
cue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue
can promptly hear the fire warning signal.
• If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well
as training in its use.
• Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio
doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits.
• Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be
accounted for (e.g. across the street or at a neighbor’s house). Once everyone is out of the
building, call the Fire Department.
• A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do
not gather belongings as this can waste valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the
house. Wait for the fire department.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise,
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of
people in the home, or if there are changes to the building’s construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are
unsure about system operation, contact your installer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on
fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an
in-house fire safety inspection.

Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could
include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-
ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly
due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the
device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important
that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm sys-
tem and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an
alarm.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occu-
pants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke
detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may
not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a
chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the resi-
dence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of
burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well.
Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by care-
lessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded elec-
trical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circum- The complete R&TTE Declaration of Conformity can be found at
