SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This system provides three (3) forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending
on the options set by your installer. The system consists of the Control Panel with a color
touch screen, wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and
wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In addition, optional remote control key fobs,
wireless panic buttons and keypads may have been provided or installed.
The system monitors all protection “zones” and the system’s status. The Control Panel displays
monitoring information and controls the alarm siren. Your system may also have been setup
to send alarm and status reports to a Central Station and has the capability for 2‐way voice
communications with the alarm monitoring operator.
FEATURES
Following is a list of standard features and options that can be included in your system. Ask
your installer which options are available to you and check the boxes that apply.
• Stay and Away arming modes: Stay mode arms the system perimeter only and is used
typically at night when the premises are occupied. Away mode arms the system perimeter
and interior; it’s used when the premises are unoccupied.
• 32 user‐unique 4‐digit codes to operate the system: The system supports one (1) master
user code that can assign and maintain the other user codes.
• One of the 32 user codes functions as a duress code. Controlling the system with this code
gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it sends a silent duress report to the
Central Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help.
• Voice announcements from the Control Panel: The system has a vocabulary of descriptive
words that can be assigned to sensors so each has a unique announcement such as “front
door” or “bedroom window” if desired.
• Home automation with the built‐in Z‐Wave controller for remote controlling Z‐Wave
enabled home appliances (optional feature).
• Alarm history with system event log: Each alarm and system alert is logged into the
system’s memory. These events can be displayed and reviewed at the Control Panel or
remotely by the Central Station.
• Real time clock and calendar shows on the system’s display and is used to time stamp
items in the event log.
2‐way voice communication: After an alarm, the system can automatically connect with a
Central Station operator so they can converse with people in the premises.
Remote control of the system over the telephone.

BASIC OPERATION
Following are general operational concepts
that your system supports. Understanding
these concepts will help you to use your
security system to its fullest extent.
Sensor Types/Zones
The system’s wireless sensors have been
assigned to selected “types” (often called
“zones”). The sensor type determines how
and when the system will react to a signal
from the sensor. Some sensors are armed 24
hours a day, other sensors are only armed
when the system is armed.
Smoke, Heat, and Freeze
Protection
If wireless smoke, heat and freeze detectors
have been installed in your system, they are
armed 24 hours‐a‐day, They will sound an
alarm when smoke is detected and can
report the fire alarm to the Central Station.
See "Smoke, Heat and Freeze Protection" on
page 19 for emergency planning and
evacuation information.
Burglary Protection
Burglary protection is provided by perimeter
and interior sensors. When the system is
armed in the Away mode, both perimeter
and interior sensors are armed and can
trigger an alarm. When the system is armed
in the Stay mode, only the perimeter sensors
are armed and can trigger an alarm.
Both arming modes offer an Exit Delay that
allows time to exit the premises without
triggering the alarm. Upon re‐entry, an Entry
Delay is enabled that allows you time to
disarm the system.
You can set sensors to sound a chime and/or
a voice announcement when they are
triggered. So you can monitor your doors
and windows while the system is disarmed.
For more details, see "Burglary Protection"
on page 7.
User Codes
The system installer has already
programmed a master user code for your
system. This code can be used to control the
system as well as assign and change the
other user codes. The master user code can
also access several system setup settings in
the User Toolbox.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the Control Panel’s
siren and an external siren (if installed)
sounds for a preset time. During alarms and
after disarming, the alarm history button
displays all the alarms that have occurred,
and which sensors were involved. The alarm
history clears the next time the system is
armed or can be cleared manually.
Messages
Your security system supports receiving
messages from the Central Station. The
messages can be about system upgrades,
additional services, special regional weather
alerts, etc.
Trouble Alerts
The system monitors itself for abnormal
operating conditions and will alert you if
trouble is detected. Trouble conditions can
be reported to the Central Station.
Wireless Sensors
Your security system comes with wireless
sensors. Some sensors are visible, others
may be hidden by doorjambs or where the
sensor is mounted. Depending on your type
of installation and how many sensors are
installed with the Control Panel, sensors can
include but are not limited to the following:
Door/Window Sensor Motion Detector
Glass Break Sensor Smoke/Heat/Freeze
Alarm
CO Sensor Panic Button Remote
Keyfob Wireless Keypad and
Wireless Touch Screen

BURGLARY PROTECTION
When your system was setup by your installer, wireless sensors were placed to monitor
specific doors and windows. The installer selected these doors and windows as likely places
where an unlawful intrusion might occur and could be detected. Each sensor was
programmed to have the system react in a specific way. See “Installer Programmed Options”
on page 41 for specifics about each sensor.
Some sensor types such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, panic buttons, etc.
are always active and can trigger an alarm at any time. Other sensors on protected doors and
windows are part of the burglary protection part of the system, and can be turned on or off.
Turning on the burglary protection part of the security system is called “Arming the System”.
The burglary protection part of the system can be armed in two modes: Stay mode or Away
mode.

SENSOR STATUS
The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors
and windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each door or window with
sensors is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is
called the sensor status.
For maximum security, all the doors and windows on your premises should be closed when
you leave the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system when you stay
at home, you may want to leave some doors or windows open. The system recognizes
bypasses to resolve the open doors or windows. See "Bypassing/Un‐Bypassing Sensors" on
page 10.
NOTE: Before you can arm the system, you must close or bypass all doors and windows
with sensors.
CHECKING FOR CLOSED SENSORS
In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor‐protected doors
and windows closed. The Control Panel provides easy ways to verify that all the sensor‐
protected doors and windows are closed before arming the system:
• The Home button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Home
button is not lit if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior sensors do not change this
indication.
• The Security button on the display’s Home screen lights green when all perimeter sensors
are closed. The Security button is lit orange if any perimeter sensor is open. Open interior
sensors do not change this indication.
• The Arm button on the display’s Security screen and Menu screen lights green when all
perimeter sensors are closed. If any interior sensors are open (or when any motion
detector is triggered), a house icon is displayed on the status bar. The Arm button is lit
orange if any perimeter sensor is open.
Burglary Protection
Copyright © 2015 Nortek Security & Control LLC 9
VIEWING EACH SENSOR’S STATUS
The Control Panel will also show you which sensor‐protected doors and windows are open.
Your installer has programmed descriptive names for each sensor‐protected door and
window. The Control Panel’s color display will show the names of which doors and windows
are open.
• The top of the display on the Home, Security, and Menu screens sensor status. See
“System Status Icons” on page 25.
Tapping the Status button also displays a list of open sensors and general system status
and alerts.
A The Status Bar shows the system mode and shows system status icons. See “System Status Icons”
on page 25.
B The Arm button on the security and menu screens lights green when all perimeter sensors are
closed. The Arm button lights orange if any perimeter sensor is open.
C The Home button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Home button is not lit if
any perimeter sensor is open.
D The icon displayed shows that an interior sensor is open. Other icons can appear here as well. See
“System Status Icons” on page 25.
DEALING WITH A SENSOR FALSE ALARM
The Control Panel reports alarm conditions on all sensors when armed both visually (on the
status bar, and through a system alert icon) and audibly (through voice and chime
announcements). There are times, though rare, that an sensor will send an alarm condition to
the Control Panel when no alarm exists. The conditions of a false alarm vary depending on the
type of sensor and how that sensor communicates with the Control Panel.
• Perform a System, Sensor, and Panel Test to find any false alarm conditions. See "System
Test" on page 34. See "Sensor Test" on page 35. See "Panel Test" on page 35.
Go!Control Wireless Security System | User Guide

SENSOR BYPASSING
Before the system can be armed, all
protected doors and windows must be
closed or bypassed. You can bypass open
sensors on protected doors or windows
before arming the system. When a sensor is
bypassed, the system ignores that the door
or window is open. There are two types of
sensor bypasses available:
• Forced
• Manual
In some cases (such as when using the
security system for protection when staying
at home) it may be desirable to leave some
sensor‐protected doors or windows open.
Temporarily bypassing a sensor for this use is
called Force Bypassing.
NOTE: Force bypasses are
automatically removed when the
system is disarmed.
Sensor bypassing is also sometimes used
when a sensor is requiring service. A sensor’s
magnet might be missing, or an external
switch contact connected to a sensor might
be faulty, causing the sensor to be detected
as open by the Control Panel. In these
conditions, you may need to schedule a
service call with your qualified alarm service
technician to repair or replace the troubled
sensor. If the security system needs to be
armed before the sensor can be serviced,
the sensor can be manually bypassed so the
rest of the system can be armed. Depending
on programming, manual bypasses can
remain in place until they are manually
removed.
NOTE: Bypassed sensors offer no
protection and cannot cause an
alarm. Use bypass if you want to
arm your system with one or more
sensors open and intentionally
unprotected.
Force Bypass All Sensors
If any sensors are open when the system is
disarmed, the Arm button on the panel turns
YELLOW. When you tap the Arm button, the
system automatically reveals the Bypass
screen which lets you arm the system while
forcing it to bypass all open sensors.
To force bypass all open sensors:
1 Ensure a sensor is open, such as a door
or window.
2 At the Security or Menu screen, tap the
YELLOW Arm button.
3 At the Bypass screen, tap Bypass All.
This forces the system to bypass all of
the open sensors in the list, including
any open interior sensors.
4 At the Enter Code screen, enter a valid
user code to bypass the sensor.
NOTE: The Quick Bypass feature can
also be configured by the installer.
For details, refer to the Control
Panel’s Installation &
Programming Guide.
5 At the Ready to Arm (Sensors Bypassed)
screen, tap Stay or Away mode.
Later, when you disarm the system, the
bypassed sensors are returned to their
normal state.
Bypassing/Un-Bypassing
Sensors
To add or remove sensors on the system’s
bypass list:
1 At the Home screen, tap Menu.
2 At the Menu screen, tap Toolbox.
3 Enter a valid user code to gain access to
the Toolbox.
4 At the Toolbox (1 of 3) screen, tap
Bypassed Sensors.
5 At the Bypassed Sensors screen, choose
one of these options:
• Add a sensor to the bypassed list.
Tap the BLUE button that
corresponds to the desired sensor.
When the button turns YELLOW, the
system will bypass the sensor.
Burglary Protection
Copyright © 2015 Nortek Security & Control LLC 11
• View Only Bypassed Sensors. Place
a checkmark in the Show Bypassed
Only box.
• Remove a sensor from the bypassed
list. Tap the YELLOW button that
corresponds to the desired sensor.
The button turns BLUE when it is no
longer on the bypassed list.
6 When finished, tap Back.
STAY MODE
Use Stay mode to partially arm the system
when individuals will be occupying the
premises. This arms only the sensor‐
protected perimeter doors and windows. It
leaves interior motion sensors or other
interior doors unarmed. In a home setting,
Stay mode is typically used during the
evening hours when occupants are no longer
expected to leave or enter the premises. This
allows occupants to move about the
premises without triggering the burglary
alarm. Because all the interior burglary
protection is OFF, an alarm would only be
triggered when a sensor‐protected
perimeter door or window is opened.
Entry Delay in Stay Mode
Certain sensors, such as a door, can be
configured by your installer to use a delay
timer before triggering an alarm. This
provides a way for an authorized person
returning to enter using a predetermined
door and disarm the system before an alarm
is triggered.
To arm the system using an Entry Delay:
1 At the Security or Menu screen, tap the
Arm button.
2 At the Ready to Arm screen, place a
checkmark in the Entry Delay box. This is
the default setting.
NOTE: If you remove the checkmark
from the Entry Delay box, an alarm
will be triggered when the sensor
is opened while the system is
armed in Stay mode.
3 Tap Stay to arm the system

Arming to Stay Mode
Use Stay Mode to arm the system when
anyone is at home. Stay Mode normally has
an Entry Delay so a user with a user code can
re‐enter without causing an alarm.
1 Close all protected perimeter doors and
windows before arming.
2 Verify that the button on the Control
Panel is lit GREEN indicating that the
system is ready to arm. The Security and
Arm buttons on the display is GREEN
when all sensors are closed.
NOTE: If you want to arm the system
quietly without sounding any
announcements, tap before
performing these steps:
• At Ready to Arm screen, place a
checkmark in the Silent Exit box.

AWAY MODE
Away mode is for arming the system when
everyone is leaving the premises. Away
mode arms all sensor‐protected perimeter
doors and windows, interior motion sensors,
interior glass break sensors, and any other
sensor‐protected interior doors. The
premises must be unoccupied while the
system is armed. Away mode is typically
used for arming the system during the
daytime hours in a residential location, and
non‐business hours in a commercial location.
When the system is armed in Away mode,
you cannot move about the premises
without triggering the burglary alarm (if the
system is installed with interior motion
detectors). An alarm also occurs if any
sensor‐protected door or window is opened
or glass breakage is detected (if glass
breakage detectors are installed in your
system).
Exit and Entry Delays in Away
mode
Certain sensors, such as a door, can be setup
by your installer to have a delay before
triggering an alarm. This provides a way for
an authorized person to exit and reenter the
premises without triggering an alarm.
• Exit Delay allows time to leave after
arming the system.
• Entry Delay allows time to enter and
disarm the system before an alarm is
triggered.
When arming the system in
Away mode, an Entry Delay
check box is shown on the
Arming screen. By default,
this option is checked, so the
programmed delay doors allow time for
disarming the system after the door is
opened. If you un‐check this box, the
delayed alarm trigger is removed from all
sensor‐protected doors programmed for
delay. Those entrances instantly trigger an
alarm if they are opened in Away mode.
NOTE: With the Entry Delay disabled,
you must remotely disarm the
system with a wireless key fob
before entering.
Exit Delay Restart
The Exit Delay Restart option extends the
Exit Delay one time if you need to re‐enter
the premises. With the Exit Delay Restart
option, when you re‐enter the premises
after you have left, but before the Exit Delay
timer expires, will restart the Exit Delay
timer, giving you the full length of time to
leave again.
TIP: The Exit Delay Restart option only works
once, each time the system is armed.
Silent Control in Away Mode
Three options for silencing the beeps and
announcements are available when arming
or disarming the system in Away mode.
• On the Control Panel’s Home and
Security screens, a Silent Control button
is displayed.
• On the Arming screen, a Silent Exit check
box is displayed.
• On the Exit Delay screen, a Silence
button is displayed.
Selecting any of these options silences the
Control Panel beeps and announcements,
and when arming, selecting Silent Control
doubles the length of the Exit Delay.

A programmable option called Quick Exit
may be displayed on the Security screen
while the system is armed in the Away
mode. Tapping the Quick Exit button starts a
timer to allow someone to exit or enter
through a sensor‐protected door
programmed for delay without having to
disarm the entire system. When the delay
timer runs out, the system returns to the
normal Away mode.
TIP: If interior sensors are installed in the
system in certain areas, do not violate
those sensors when using the Quick Exit
feature in Away mode.
Auto Stay Mode
The system may have been programmed by
the installer for Auto Stay mode. If this
option is on and the system is armed in Away
mode, if an exit/entry delay sensor is not
triggered before the Exit Delay expires (no
one left the premises), the system
automatically arms in Stay mode instead of
Away mode.
NOTE: Quick options can be turned on
or off by your installer. Refer to
"Installer Programmed Options" on
page 41, to see which options have
been set for your system.
Arming to Away Mode
Use the Away mode to arm the system when
everyone will be leaving the home. The
Away mode normally has an Entry Delay so
someone with a user code can re‐enter
without causing an alarm. Interior and
perimeter sensors are armed in the Away
mode.
1 Close all sensor‐protected doors and
windows before arming.
2 Verify that the button on the Control
Panel is lit green, indicating that the
system is ready to arm. The Security
button and Arm button on the display
will also be green when all perimeter
sensors are closed. If the icon is
displayed on the status bar, an interior
sensor is open, be sure to close or
manually bypass the interior sensors or
an alarm will occur.
3 To arm the system quietly without

6 Tap Away.
To arm the system, enter a user code if
your installer has turned off the system’s
Quick Arming feature.
7 The system arms and shows the Exit
Delay counting down. When the Exit
Delay expires, the system is fully armed
in the Away mode.
NOTE: When the system is armed in
the Away mode, beeps sound
during the Exit Delay (faster beeps
during the last 10 seconds).
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
To stop the Control Panel from triggering
burglary alarms, the system needs to be
disarmed. Disarming turns off the burglary
detection part of the system for sensors that
are not 24‐hour sensors. Disarming also
stops any type of alarm in process.
Disarm the system from Stay mode before
exiting the premises. The system should be
disarmed from Away mode before or while
entering the premises. When disarming from
the Control Panel or wireless keypad, enter a
valid user code. A wireless key fob can also
be used to disarm the system. Entering a
user code is not required when disarming
with a wireless key fob.
An important feature of the Control Panel is
its ability to warn you if an alarm has
occurred while you were away. If an alarm
was triggered while the system was armed,
the alarm siren runs for a preset length of
time then stops. When you enter to disarm
the system, instead of sounding the normal
Entry Delay beeps, the Control Panel sounds
repeated fast beeps to warn you that an
alarm has occurred while you were away.
When you enter your home to
disarm the system, if you hear
fast repeated beeps instead of
the normal entry delay beeps,
Use Extreme Caution! An intruder may
still be present inside the building! Wait
outside and use a Cell Phone to call law
enforcement for assistance.
Disarming from Stay Mode

IF A BURGLARY ALARM
OCCURS
If an armed sensor is tripped while the
system is armed in the Stay or Away mode,
an alarm occurs and the siren sounds.
Delayed sensors start the Entry Delay to
allow time to disarm the system. Instant
sensors trigger the alarm right away. Most
sensors trigger the alarm siren, some
sensors may be set to trigger a silent alarm
without sounding the siren.
Burglary Alarm Siren
If there is a burglary alarm tripped while the
system is armed, the Control Panel sounds
the alarm siren for a preset time (see
"Installer Programmed Options" on page 41).
After the time expires, the siren will stop
sounding.
The system limits the number of times a
sensor can re‐trigger an alarm while the
system is armed. The setting is one to six
times per sensor, per arming period (see
"Installer Programmed Options" on page 41).
Alarm Memory
If an alarm has occurred while the system
was armed, the Disarm screen shows the
time and date of the alarm and the sensor(s)
that triggered the alarm.
After the system is disarmed, the Alarm
Memory screen appears. The Alarm Memory
screen shows the sensor(s) that have caused
the alarm. If more than one sensor has been
triggered, the display shows the order in
which the alarms occurred.
The alarm memory automatically clears the
next time the system is armed. You can also
check the Clear Alarm History button and
tap Ok to manually clear the alarm memory
(24‐hour fire and CO sensors that are still
violated remain in alarm memory).

Optional 2-Way Voice
Communications
2‐way voice communications provides a
method for alarm verification and can
provide emergency assistance. The Control
Panel contains a built‐in microphone that
can monitor sounds around the area of the
Control Panel. The built‐in microphone and
speaker allows 2‐way voice communications
with a Central Station operator after an
alarm. The operator can converse with
people in the premises through the Control
Panel’s speaker and microphone.
Your installer can set the system to use 2‐
way voice communications after an alarm
and/or after a panic alarm is triggered.
NOTE: If a panic alarm or sensor is set
for a silent alarm, the operator can
only listen and not be able to talk.
This is for your protection.

SMOKE, HEAT AND FREEZE PROTECTION
Your system should be installed with Smoke,
Heat, and Freeze Alarms as well as Carbon
Monoxide Detectors as a part of an overall
fire, heat, and gas protection system. Fire
protection is active 24 hours‐a‐day, 365 days
a year.
NOTE: In Turkey, systems are installed
with Smoke/Heat Alarms.
In the event of a fire or poisonous CO gas
emergency, the installed smoke or carbon
monoxide detector automatically activates
your security system. Not only will the fire
alarm itself emit a loud sound, the Control
Panel emits an intermittent and loud horn
on an external sounder (if an external
sounder has been installed). The fire alarm
sound continues until the timer expires on
the Fire Alarm or until you enter a user code
at the Control Panel.
If the Alarm Sounds:
• Get out and stay out. Never go back
inside for people or pets.
• If you have to escape through smoke,
get low and go under the smoke.
• Call the fire department from outside
your home.
Initiating a Fire Alarm
Manually
If you become aware of a fire emergency
before your detector(s) sense an issue:
IMPORTANT: Always yell “Fire!” to alert
everyone in proximity.
1 Go the Control Panel and tap the
Emergency button.
2 At the Emergency screen, tap and hold
the Fire button for two (2) seconds.
This action triggers the fire alarm’s
sounder and siren. You can also trigger
the fire alarm from the wireless keypad
by holding down the Fire button.
3 Get out and stay out of the dwelling.
Never go back inside for people or pets.
4 Call your local Fire Department from a
safe location outside the dwelling.
If the Fire Alarm Sounds
Automatically
If the fire alarm sirens are sounding:
1 If flames and smoke are present, yell
“Fire” to alert everyone else.
2 Evacuate all occupants from the
premises and call your local Fire
Department from a safe location.
OR
1 If no flames or smoke are apparent,
investigate the possible causes of the
alarm.
2 Go to the Control Panel and enter your
user code to stop the fire sounder and
sirens.
3 Review the "Alarm Memory" on page 16
to determine which sensor caused the
alarm.
4 Go to the sensor and look for a possible
reason the sensor tripped.
5 Correct the condition that caused the
detector to sense Smoke or Carbon
Monoxide gas.
Go!Control Wireless Security System | User Guide

Silencing a False Fire Alarm
If the fire alarm is sounding due to a detector sensing burnt food or some other non‐
emergency condition:
1 Silence the fire alarm sounder by entering your user code.
2 Review the alarm memory to determine which sensor caused the alarm (See "Alarm
Memory" on page 16). If the alarm restarts, there may still be smoke inside the detector’s
sensor. Re‐enter your user code to stop the alarm from continuing to sound.
3 Fan the detector for 30 seconds to clear the detector’s sensor chamber.
4 After the problem has been corrected, from the Alarm Memory screen, check Clear Alarm
History, then tap Ok.
NOTE: You cannot clear Fire and CO sensors that are still violated from the Alarm
Memory screen. Only when the Fire Alarms and CO Detectors return to normal
operation.
5 Carefully inspect your premises for fire, heat or gas if your Fire Alarms and CO Detectors
remain in alarm state.

RECOMMENDED FIRE ALARM LOCATIONS
In the United States, this equipment shall be installed in accordance with the National Fire
Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269). Printed information describing proper installation, operation, testing,
maintenance, evacuation planning, and repair service is to be provided with smoke detectors
and alarms.
NFPA Standard #72
The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard #72 recommends the following
placement for smoke detectors:
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as
follows:
• Install a smoke detector outside each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity
of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including
basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
Also install smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen,
hallway(s), finished attics, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, and attached garages.
Do Not Mount an Alarm Here:
• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
• Do not locate alarm within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts (extractor fan or air vent)
• Outside
• In or below a cupboard
• Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
Go!Control Wireless Security System | User Guide
22 Copyright © 2015 Nortek Security & Control LLC
• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
• Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
Fire‐warning equipment for residential occupancies are capable of protecting about 50% of
the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims include the elderly, children, and the physically
or mentally impaired. Victims include any person that cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection‐
in‐place or assisted rescue or escape would be necessary.
• Studies show that Smoke/Heat/Freeze Alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals. It
is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to
provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the audible alarm or those who
may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• A battery‐powered alarm must have the specific battery type installed, be in good
condition, and be mounted properly.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair the ability to hear the audible alarm. For
maximum protection, ensure that an audible alarm is installed on every floor.
• Smoke/Heat Alarms only provide protection to the residence if smoke actually reaches the
alarm. The Smoke/Heat Alarm is not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners
and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties.
Emergency Action Plan
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape with all members of your household in the
event of fire. The National Fire Protection Association recommends the following steps:
1 Mount your detector or your interior or exterior sounders where they can be heard by all.
2 Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the
door that permits normal exit from the building. The other should be an alternate escape,
such as a window, should the path to a door be impassable. Station an escape ladder at
such windows if there is a long drop to the ground.
3 Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be
used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from
obstructions and post copies of the escape routes in every room.
4 Ensure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep, preventing deadly smoke
from entering while you escape.
5 Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open
it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door shut if smoke or heat rushes in.
6 When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and
may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.
7 Escape quickly, but don’t panic.
8 Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone can meet and then
take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to
assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back.

Otherwise you will be unable to
use the remote control by
telephone feature.
CALLING THE SYSTEM
During installation, your installer selects
whether your system supports the remote
telephone option or not. If this feature is
enabled, the system requires you to call
twice within 30 seconds before it answers
your call.

valid user code in 15 seconds, the
system disconnects the call.
For security purposes, if 2 attempts
using 2 telephone calls to enter a user
code within a five (5) minute time frame
fail to enter a valid code, the system
disconnects and does not respond to
telephone commands for 30 minutes.
2 After the system has accepted your user
code, it announces the system status,
then announces the remote command
options.
The system waits up to 60 seconds for

24-Hour Emergency Functions
Three 24‐hour emergency functions: You can
activate the Panic, Fire, and Emergency
buttons on the Control Panel. The installer
can set which emergency buttons on the
Control Panel are active.
Panic (Audible)
Panic (Silent)
Fire
Emergency
Quick Arming
Quick Arming allows you to arm your system
without having to enter a user code. When
you tap the Stay or Away button, the system
will start to arm without requesting a user
code.
• Off
• On
Quick Bypass
Normally sensors that are open at the time
the system is armed will require force
bypassing by entering your user code. The
system can be set so a user code is not
required to bypass open sensors when the
system is armed.
• Off
• On
Quick Exit
The Quick Exit option allows you to start the
Exit Delay while the system is armed. This
allows you to leave the premises without
having to disarm and rearm the system.
When the Quick Exit option is on, a Quick
Exit button will display on the security
screen. Tap the button to start the Exit Delay.
After Quick Exit, the system will fully re‐arm
in the mode that it was in before (Stay or
Away mode).
• Off
• On
Auto Un-bypass
Normally, sensors manually bypassed with
the User Toolbox will automatically have
their bypasses removed when the system is
disarmed. The system can be set so sensors
that have been manually bypassed will stay
bypassed until the bypass is manually
removed
• Off
• On
Auto Stay
The Auto Stay option will change the arming
mode if no one exits after arming the system
in Away mode. When the system is armed in
the Away mode the Exit Delay will begin.
With the Auto Stay option on, if a designated
exit/entry door does not open and close
during the Exit Delay, the system
will arm in the Stay mode instead of the
Away mode.
• Off
• On
Key Fob Sound
The system can be set so when it’s armed or
disarmed by a wireless key fob, a beep will
sound through the internal and external
sounders to indicate that the key fob’s signal
was received. This helps in installations
where the Control Panel is not visible or
there are no other system status indications
at the key fob’s location.

Key Fob Disarm After Sound
The system can be set so when it’s disarmed
with a wireless key fob after an alarm has
occurred, a special series of beeps will sound
through the internal and external sounders.
This option serves as an alert to warn you to
approach the premises with caution as an
intruder may still be present.

The Exit Delay Restart option will extend the
Exit Delay one time if you need to re‐enter
the premises. When the system is armed in
the Away mode or Stay mode, the Exit Delay
gives you time to leave without setting off
the alarm. With the Exit Delay Restart
option, re‐entering the premises after you
have left, but before the Exit Delay timer
expires, will restart the Exit Delay timer,
giving you the full length of time to leave
again. The restart option only works once,

Cancel Display
A “cancel” message will be sent to the
Central Station if the system is disarmed
within a preset period of time after an alarm
is triggered. The system can be set to display
that a cancel report was sent, or for higher
security, the system can be set not to display
the cancel message.
• On
• Off
Cancel Time
To limit responses to false alarms, a “cancel”
message will be sent to the Central Station if
the system is disarmed within a preset
period of time after an alarm is triggered.
The alarm report is always sent, but it will be
followed by a cancel report if you disarm the
system within the preset time.
This option helps the Central Station to
determine whether you accidently caused
the alarm or if the alarm report was caused
by an intruder. It also lets the Central Station
know that you have returned to the
premises. Even if a cancel message is sent,
the Central Station will verify the alarm and
possibly dispatch help. The cancel message
may be processed by the Central Station at a
later time depending on system
programming.
• 5 Minutes is the default, or _______
Minutes
Dialer Delay
If an alarm occurs, the system will delay
dialing for a short time to allow you to
disarm the system in case the alarm was
accidentally tripped. The dialer delay
reduces nuisance traffic to the Central
Station and can prevent receiving fines that
many cities impose when police respond to a
false alarm. Your installer also can program
the system for no dialer delay.
NOTE: The dialer delay is also known as
the abort window. It gives you time
to disarm, but doesn’t delay the
siren from sounding. Disarming
during the abort window can
display a cancel message
depending on the Cancel Display
setting (see "Cancel Display" on
page 44).
• 30 Seconds is the default, or ______
Seconds
2-Way Voice
The system can connect with a Central
Station operator so they can converse with
people on the premises after an alarm. The
2‐way voice option allows communication to
and from the Control Panel and the Central
Station. 2‐way voice communications will
occur after the system has made its alarm
report. Your installer sets which sensors can
trigger the 2‐way voice option.
• Off
• On
Telephone Remote Control
Answer
1
Your installer selects whether your system
supports the remote telephone option or
not. If the telephone remote control answer
option is turned on, the system will require
calling it twice within 30 seconds for the
Control Panel to answer the call. See
"Controlling the System Remotely" on page
28.
• Off
• On

module, which is only available in

SERVICE INFORMATION
Your local Alarm dealer is the person best qualified to service your alarm system. Be sure to
set up a routine service schedule with your local Alarm installer.

ALARM DIALING EQUIPMENT
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure that the installation of any other
non‐alarm devices does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company or a
qualified installer.
IMPORTANT: When programming
emergency numbers or making test calls
to emergency numbers remember the
following:
1 Remain on the line and briefly explain to
the dispatcher the reason for the call.
2 Perform such activities in the off‐peak
hours, such as early mornings or later
evenings.
3 Follow the central station operator’s
instructions for updated dialer
programming, if re‐programming of the
dialer is required.
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(s), 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 that is electrically in series with and
ahead of all other equipment attached to
the same telephone line. Proper installation
is depicted in the figure on the previous
page. If you have any questions concerning
these instructions, you should consult your
telephone company or a qualified installer
about installing the RJ31X jack and alarm
dialing equipment for you.
Alarm Installation Notes to
Installer
For products equipped with an RJ31X jack
the line seize feature shall be verified. Be
certain the local telephone and incoming
line connections are not reversed. These
lines are not reversed if the alarm dialer can
communicate with the central station.
New Services Notes to User
The installation and/or monitoring company
shall be notified if new telephone service,
e.g. DSL, is installed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
ALARM SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
This security system can not offer
guaranteed protection against burglary, fire,
or other emergencies. Any alarm system,
whether commercial or residential, is
subject to compromise or failure to warn for
a variety of reasons. For example:
• Intruders may gain access through
unprotected openings or have the
technical sophistication to bypass an
alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm
warning device.
• Intrusion detectors (sensors) do not
work without power. Battery operated
devices do not work without batteries,
with dead batteries, or if the batteries
are not put in properly. Devices
powered solely by AC do not work if
their AC power supply is cut off for any
reason, however briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless sensors may be
blocked or reflected by metal before
they reach the alarm Control Panel,
even if the signal path has been recently
checked during a weekly test. Blockage
can occur if a metal object has been
moved into the sensor’s signal path.
• A user may not be able to reach a panic
or emergency button quickly enough.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit
alarm signals from a premises to a
Central Station may be out of service or
temporarily out of service. Telephone
lines are also subject to compromise by
sophisticated intruders.
• Even if the system responds to the
emergency as intended, however,
occupants may have insufficient time to
protect themselves from the emergency
situation. In the case of a monitored
alarm system, authorities may not
respond appropriately.
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens,
bells or horns may not alert people or
wake up sleepers if they are located on
the other side of closed or partly open
doors. If warning devices sound on a
different level of the residence from the
bedrooms, then they are less likely to
waken or alert people inside the
bedrooms. Even persons who are awake
may not hear the warning if the alarm is
muffled from a stereo, radio, air
conditioner or other appliance, or by
passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning
devices, however loud, may not warn
hearing‐impaired people or awaken
deep sleepers.
• While smoke detectors have played a
key role in reducing residential fire
deaths, they may not activate or provide
early warning for a variety of reasons in
as many as 35% of all fires, according to
data published by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Some
of the reasons smoke detectors used in
conjunction with this system may not
work are where smoke cannot reach the
detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls,
or roofs, or on the other side of closed
doors. Smoke detectors may have been
improperly installed and positioned.
Smoke detectors may not sense fires
that start where smoke cannot reach
the detectors, such as in chimneys, in
walls, or roofs, or on the other side of
closed doors. Smoke detectors also may
not sense a fire on another level of a
residence or building. A second floor
detector, for example, may not sense a
first floor or basement fire. Moreover,
smoke detectors have sensing
limitations. No smoke detector can
sense every kind of fire every time. In
general, detectors may not always warn
about fires caused by carelessness and
safety hazards like smoking in bed,
violent explosions, escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits,
children playing with matches, or arson.
Depending upon the nature of the fire
and/or the locations of the smoke
detectors, the detector, even if it
operates as anticipated, may not
provide sufficient warning to allow
occupants to escape in time to prevent
injury or death.

• This equipment, like other electrical
devices, is subject to component failure.
Even though this equipment is designed
to last as long as ten years, the electronic
components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system
not functioning when an intrusion or fire
occurs is inadequate maintenance.
Although, installing an alarm system may
make homeowners eligible for lower
insurance rates, an alarm system is not a
substitute for insurance. Homeowners,
property owners, and renters should
continue to act prudently in protecting
themselves and continue to insure their lives
and property.
