Fire Safety

Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire related deaths occur at night when the occupants suffocate in their sleep from smoke and deadly gases, rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, implement the following three-step program:

1.Minimize fire hazards around the home. Smoking in bed, cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving children home alone, and unsafe holiday decorations are some of the more common causes of household fire.

2.Install a fire warning system. The primary purpose of this system is to protect lives, not property, by giving the earliest possible warning of the danger. In the event of a fire, the alarm system generates a loud intermittent tone distinctly different than a burglar alarm.

In homes with more than one sleeping area a smoke detector (indicated by an inverted ???s??? in a circle) should be provided to detect smoke in each area.

3.Plan and practice an escape plan. A fire alarm warning is wasted unless the family has planned for a quick evacuation. Because there is very little time between detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly, it is important that every member of the family

understand exactly what to do.

Possible escape routes through open windows marked with arrows.

Primary and alternate escape routes should be established. Since stairwells and hallways can be blocked during a fire, exiting through a bedroom window at night should be an essential part of the escape plan. If the sleeping area is above the ground floor, provide a means of safe descent outside the building if one does not already exist.

All family members should plan to meet at a predetermined location away from the house (such as a neighbor???s), to verify that all are accounted for.

In Case of Fire

1.The primary purpose of a fire warning system is to protect lives. In the event of a fire alarm, quickly leave the building and call the fire department from a neighbor???s or public telephone.

2.If it is determined the alarm was accidentally tripped, the bell should be silenced, the detectors reset, and your alarm company notified immediately of the situation.

Introduction

Your security system helps to secure life, property, and investments against fire, theft, and bodily harm. The keypad is an arming station that offers a variety of features. Function, versatility, and ease of operation make the keypad the ideal system for the home or office.

With custom programming, the keypad is tailored to meet your individual needs. The Command mode allows you to perform a variety of functions with maximum simplicity - only the touch of two or three keys is required to control almost every feature on the keypad. Three function keys allow common commands to be performed with the touch of just one key.

The keypad puts the control of your security system right at your fingertips.

Maintenance and Service

The keypad requires very little maintenance; however, the system should be tested weekly to detect service needs early. A test schedule and maintenance program is arranged with your alarm company. If a change in operation is noticed during normal use or testing, call for service as soon as possible. Do not attempt to repair the control panel, arming stations, or detectors yourself.

Call _________________________________________ Before Testing

The security system is connected to this telephone number:

AC Power Failure

If your keypad indicates AC power has failed, and you have power in the remainder of your premises, there could be a problem with the electrical transformer or circuit breaker supplying power to your security control panel. First, check to be sure the transformer is securely plugged into the electrical outlet. If it appears to be damaged in any way, do not attempt to repair it. Call your security company for service.

Transformer location: _________________________________________

If the transformer is plugged in, check the circuit breaker supplying power to the outlet. If the breaker is tripped, reset it. If it trips again, the overload condition must be corrected.

The D720 Series Keypad

The keypad is an illuminated digital arming station that is the keypad for your entire security system. The keypad does much more than just arm and disarm your security system; it can initiate several system commands. A system status display panel keeps you informed of security conditions, as well as storing alarm information for future reference. It also indicates various security system conditions such as your system???s armed status, protective point status, power supply status, and Command mode status. A built-in sounder alerts you of several different conditions, which requires action. The keypad also includes three function keys that perform many system commands with the touch of one key.

Security System Basics

What is a Point?

A point is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your security system. Each area of your property is assigned to a specific point with a number. A point is a single door (like the entrance door) or an area of your property (like the second floor). Each point is represented by its point number on the keypad display panel. There are two basic types of points: Controlled and 24-hour.

Controlled Points

Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon whether the system is turned on (armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled points are programmed to respond instantly to alarm conditions or provide a delay for you to reach the keypad and disarm the system. There are two types of controlled points: Perimeter and Interior.

1.Perimeter Points: All exterior doors and windows of the building, forming the outside ???wall of protection??? around your building.

2.Interior Points: All interior forms of burglary protection such as carpet mats, motion sensors, inside doors, etc..

24-Hour Points

24-hour points are always on, even when the burglary system is disarmed (turned off). There are two types of 24-hour points: Fire and Non-Fire.

1.Fire Points: Exclusively monitor fire detection devices. They are always armed and cannot be disarmed. Fire alarms have a unique audible warning signal.

2.Non-Fire Points: Always armed and cannot be disarmed.

Keypad Features

Armed Status Indicators

Three lights indicate the armed status of your security system. Each is explained below. During an exit delay period, these lights flash on and off slowly.

Perimeter--When this red indicator is lit, your perimeter points are armed. When this indicator is not lit, your system is not armed.

Interior -- When this yellow indicator is lit, your interior points are armed. When this indicator is not lit, your interior points are not armed.

Instant-- This red indicator shows how your system is armed; either instant or delayed. When this indicator is lit, your security system is armed without entry/exit delay time. When the system is armed with entry/exit delay, this indicator is not lit.

Point Status Indicators

Point status indicators on the keypad show the condition of your system???s protective points. Each point has its own indicator that shows three different point conditions (listed in order of priority).

Point Bypass -- When a point is bypassed (not armed with the rest of the system), its indicator light flashes on and off slowly.

Faulted Point -- A faulted point is indicated by a steadily lit point status indicator.

Point Alarm Memory -- When a point is faulted into alarm, its indicator flashes on and off rapidly.

The Point Status Indicators also show whether the system is ready to arm or not. If the point status indicators are not lit, the system is armed by entering your personal passcode or any of the arming commands available to your system. If any of the point status indicators are lit, the system has a faulted point. Correcting the faulted point usually means closing a door or window.

5

Power Indicator

When the red PWR indicator LED lights steadily, your security system is operating from AC voltage and the standby battery is fully charged. When the PWR indicator is off, AC or battery power is not present. When flashing slowly, a low battery power condition is indicated. When flashing quickly, battery power is missing. If the indicator is off or continues to flash, contact your security company.

Command Mode Indicator

When the [COMMAND] bar is pressed, the red Command mode indicator (CMD) lights steadily to show the system is ready to accept a command. If the command requires that a passcode be entered, the CMD indicator slowly blinks, prompting you to enter your passcode. Once a passcode is entered, the Command mode indicator lights steadily again and remains steadily lit while the system is in the command mode. The indicator goes off when the command is completed (or after 15 seconds of inactivity).

Exiting the Command Mode

If you decide to exit the Command mode before completing the chosen function, you can exit the command mode at any time by pressing the [A] key. The CMD light goes off, confirming that you have left the command mode.

The Keypad

The keypad has a lighted digital keypad used to enter passcodes and system commands into the security system. As you touch the keys to enter a passcode, the keypad emits a short beep tone to indicate that your entry is accepted.

COMMAND Bar

The [COMMAND] bar is used to perform one- or two-digit COMMAND functions.

Enter (ENT) Key

When the passcode is completed, press the [ENT] key to activate the passcode. If you do not press the [ENT] key, the passcode is ignored by the security system.

When entering a passcode or command at the keypad, each key must be pressed within 5 seconds of the last key entry. After 5 seconds have expired from the last key entry, the entire entry is cleared and the passcode must be started over.

6

Function Keys

The keypad has three function keys (labeled A, B, and C). The function keys are used to perform system commands with the touch of one key. Your alarm technician programs the Function Keys.

Turning the System On (Arming)

Your security system is turned on (armed) in many different ways, depending on the arming command used. Arming commands turn the system on. The most basic arming command is to arm the entire system. The simplest way to arm your system is to enter your personal passcode and press [ENT] or to use COMMAND 1.

There are several other arming commands to turn the system on. For example: arm only the perimeter or arm only portions of the perimeter. These arming functions and their respective commands are described later in this guide.

Turning the System Off (Disarming)

Your security system is turned off by entering your personal passcode and pressing [ENT]. When your system is turned on, you must enter the premises through a designated entry door to prevent an immediate instant alarm condition. Open the door starts an entry delay time and the keypad emits a pulsing beep tone to remind you to turn the system off. Enter your personal passcode and press [ENT] before the delay time expires and the system turns off.

If you enter through a wrong door or fail to disarm before the entry delay expires, causes an alarm. If this happens, silence the alarm (by entering your personal passcode and pressing [ENT]) and call your security company to notify them it is not an emergency situation.

7

Silencing an Alarm

The audible alarm sounds for a specific period of time before it automatically shuts off. If an alarm occurs and you want to silence the bell or siren before the time expires, simply enter your personal passcode and press [ENT].

After silencing the alarm and returning points to normal, you can clear the alarm memory lights by entering your passcode twice (arm and disarm). On some systems the alarm memory lights are cleared by entering COMMAND 4.

To Silence an alarm:

Enter your personal passcode and press [ENT].

Reporting to the Central Station

???My system reports to a Central Station.

???My system does not report to a Central Station.

Your system is programmed to send a closing report to your security company when arming.

???My system sends a Closing Report.

???My system does not send a Closing Report.

Your system is programmed to send an Opening Report to your security company when disarming.

???My system sends an Opening Report.

???My system does not send an Opening Report.

Your system is programmed to report Force Arming to your security company.

???Force Arming is reported to my security company.

???Force Arming is not reported to my security company.

Your security system automatically disconnects your telephone from its line when transmitting reports to your security company. This prevents reports from being interrupted during transmission. Once the report is completed, the telephone line is restored to normal service.

Keypad Tones

Your keypad emits one of several distinct tones to alert you to system events. Additional bells or sirens can also be connected to your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of your premises alert neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and fire fighters. Some of these tones are optional, and are selected by your alarm technician.

Exit Delay Tone: After you arm your system, the keypad emits a repeating beep tone and counts down the exit delay time. If you don???t exit before the delay time expires, and an exit delay door is faulted, entry delay begins.

5.Keystroke Checking Tones: Pressing any key on the keypad sounds a short beep tone. When you press an incorrect key, a flat buzz tone sounds to indicate an invalid entry.

6.Faulted Point: When you enter an arming command, and a point is faulted, the sounder is activated for 2 seconds. The point status indicator associated with the faulted point is lit.

7.Watch Tone: When the Watch Mode is activated, the keypad emits a brief tone to alert you when any watch point is faulted and the point indicator lights to indicate which point is faulted. The tone sounds only when the door or window is opened. It does not sound again for that point until the door or window is closed and then reopened.

Some system trouble events produce a trouble tone without producing any status light indications. These trouble events fall into three categories:

1.Hardware, software, or wiring problems. For example: a keypad was unplugged from the control panel or the printer was unplugged. Call your security company.

2.Communication or phone failure. For example: you have phone line trouble. Call your security company.

3.Late to close reminder tone. If your system is programmed to send a Closing Report, your keypad sounds the trouble tone to remind you that it is time to close. Arm your system to silence the tone.

Turning the System On With a Duress Passcode

???I have this feature.

???I do not have this feature.

???This feature requires a passcode.

A duress passcode sends a silent alarm signal to your security company. It arms or disarms the security system just like your personal passcode; however, as the system is armed or disarmed, an alarm signal is transmitted. Be sure your security technician explains how this feature works in your system. There is no alarm tone or visual indication at the premises that the report is sent.

Application

The duress passcode is used when someone threatens you and demands you disarm (or arm) your security system. By disarming (or arming) with a duress passcode, your security company is alerted of an alarm situation.

Passcode + 1, or + 2

The duress passcode is based on your personal passcode. By increasing the last digit by one or two, the duress feature is activated. For example; If your personal passcode is 1234, the duress passcode is 1235 (or 1236).

Force Arming the System

???I have this feature.

???I do not have this feature.

If a protected door or window is open, you can have the option of force arming with that point faulted. Faulted points (opened doors or windows) that are force armed are not included in the system. The remaining points arm normally.

Your system might not offer force arming or it is restricted to specific points. Contact your security company for more information.

To arm with points faulted:

armed. If the fault is restored after arming, how your system is programmed determines whether or not the point is armed with the rest of the system.

??? A faulted point is armed with the rest of the system if restored.

??? A faulted point is not armed with the rest of the system if restored and is not be armed until I disarm the security system and re-enter an arming command.

I am allowed to have a maximum of ______ points faulted when force arming.

Security System Glossary

Arm and Disarm - Rendering of an igniter from a safe (no energy) to a ready-to- fire condition and vice versa.

Bypass - Deliberately not including certain points of protection when arming the security system.

Central Station - Facility where trained personnel monitor your security system 24 hours a day. Your system can contact central station personnel to dispatch the proper authorities.

Closing Report - Signal to your security company indicating the system is armed. Commercial accounts can use this report to indicate the business is now closed.

Keypad - Displays system status, sounds warnings with a sounder, and can also control many other functions of a security system including Arming and Disarming.

Entry Delay - Predetermined amount of time provided by the security system to enter an armed building through a delay door. Once the delay door is opened, the entry delay begins. If the security system is not disarmed before the delay time expires, the system goes into alarm.

Exit Delay - Predetermined amount of time provided by the security system to leave the armed building through a delay door. Once the system is armed, the exit time begins. You must exit the building before the exit delay time expires.

Faulted Point - Point that is not normal (a door or window is open).

Force Arm - Turning on (arming) the security system even though one or more points are faulted. Force arming bypasses the faulted points.

Master Arm - Turning on (arming) all detection systems, including interior and perimeter points.

Opening Report - Signal to your security company indicating the system just was disarmed. Commercial accounts can use this report to indicate the business is open.

Passcode - Used to arm or disarm the keypad.

Perimeter Arm - Arming command that arms only the perimeter of your building,

Point - Detection device, or group of devices, connected to your security system. A point is a single door or an entire room or area of your building (like the second floor). Most points are either perimeter, interior, or fire (24-hour) points.

Trouble - Service condition that needs to be corrected, such as a broken wire.

Security System Limitations

Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All security systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, the following:

???If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearing range of people in remote areas of the building or in areas which are frequently closed off, they do not provide the intended protection.

???If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry, the system does not detect their entrance.

???If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or part of the system, they are not detected.

???If the AC power supply is off and the backup battery is missing or dead, sensors do not detect intrusion.

???Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or smoke blocked by a closed door. They can not detect smoke or fire on a level of the building different from the one on which they are located. Smoke detectors can???t warn in time about fires started by explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits, or other types of hazardous conditions.

???If phone lines are out of service, reports from the security system to the security company cannot be sent. Telephone lines are vulnerable to compromise by several means.

Inadequate maintenance and failure to test are the most common causes of alarm failure. It is strongly recommended that you test your system once a week to be sure all system components are working properly.

Although having a security system can make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance. Warning devices cannot compensate you for loss of life or property.
