System Overview
General Information
This system provides three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency,
depending on the options set by the 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 pendants, and
wireless keypads may have been provided or installed.
The system monitors all protection "zones" and the system's status. It will display
monitoring information and control the alarm siren. Your system may also have
been setup to send alarm and status reports to a Central Monitoring 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 "Master User Code" that can assign and maintain the other User Codes.
One of the 32 User Codes functions as a Duress User Code. Controlling the
system with this code gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it
secretly sends a "duress" report to the Central Monitoring 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 Monitoring 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.
Remote control of the system using a Web-enabled device through the
Internet (requires cellular radio option).
Three optional 24-hour emergency functions: PANIC, FIRE, and
EMERGENCY. These functions can be activated by buttons on the Control
Panel, using wireless sensors, from the wireless keypad, or from portable
pendant devices (such as the panic button remote).
