TESTING THE SYSTEM

The TEST key puts your system in Burglary Walk Test mode, which
allows each burglary protection point to be checked for proper
operation.
Testing should be conducted weekly to ensure proper
operation
.

•

The keypad sounds a single beep ab
out every 30 seconds as a
reminder that the system is in the Test mode.

•

Alarm messages are not sent to your Central Station while Test
mode is on.

If a problem is experienced with any detection
point (no confirming
sounds, no display), call for service i
mmediately.

1.

Disarm
the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc.
The READY indicator
light should come on if all zones are intact
.

Quick Guide
to User Functions

Full User Guide Available Online:
This Quick Guide describes the most frequently used features and functions of your system. For full
details of all user functions, please see the system’s User Guide located online at:

http://
www.security.honeywell.com/hsc/products
.
The
full version User Guide is also available from your installer upon request.

Congratulations on your ownership of a Honeywell Security System. This system provides:

•
Three forms of detection: burglary, fire and
emergency (see your installer for
which forms of detection are installed)

•

At least one keypad
which provides control of system and displays system status

•

Your system may also be programmed to automatically send alarm and status
mess
ages to a Central Monitoring Station

•
Various sensors for perimeter and interior
burglary detection

•

Smoke and/or combustion detectors designed
to provide early warning in case of fire.
SYSTEM BASICS

The following is a list of some of th
e most common features and
functions of your system:

•

Several modes of burglary detection
: Away
, Stay
, Instant, Maximum
.
•

Bypass feature lets authorized persons to
bypass
selected zones
while leaving the rest of the system armed.

•

Chime
mode alerts you to the opening of protected doors and
windows while the system is disarmed, if enabled.

•

Fire and carbon monoxide detection
are always active (if installed)
and an alarm sounds if a fire or carbon monoxide condition is
detected.

•

Panic keys (if programmed) let you manually initiate a fire and
personal alarms using the keypad.

•

User Code
security codes are used in conjunction with keypad
command to per
form system functions
.
•

Each user can be assigned a different security code, each with
different authority levels
.
•

The system sensing devices have been assigned to various “zones,”
which are specific areas of detection
(e.g., fro
nt door, storage room
window, etc.).
•

Zone numbers (points of detection) are displayed at the keypad
when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.

•

Partitions provide 8
independent areas of
detection
with each
partition containing a
group of zones that can be armed and
disarmed without affecting other zones.

•

Function keys may have been programmed to perform various
functions. Ask your installer if these keys are active.

•

A Scheduling feature can be programmed to automatically perf
orm
certain functions (e.g., arm the system) at a predetermined time
each day. See the full User Guide for details
.
ENTRY/EXIT DELAYS

•

Entry Delays

give you time to disarm the system when you enter
through the designated entrance door
.
•

You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or
an alarm will occur (keypad beeps during the entry delay period,
reminding you to disarm the system).

•

Exit delay

gives you time after arming the system to leave through

the designated exit door(s) without setting off an alarm. If
programmed, a slow beeping
will sound during the exit delay period
until the last 10 seconds, which then changes to fast beeping
(alerting you to the end of exit delay). If
you cannot leave within this
delay time period, you should stop, disarm the system, and start
over to avoid a false alarm.
•

See your installer for your delay times
. See the full User Guide for
details on Exit Error alarms.

NOTES on BURGLARY
DETECTION

•

The system must be armed before the burglary detection
can
sense intrusions.

•

To arm your system, enter your security code followed by the
desired arming key.

•

To disarm the system, enter your security code then press the
OFF
key.

•

When an alarm
occurs, the keypad sounds
and displays the
zone(s) causing the alarm. The external sounder may also
sound.

•

If your system is connected to a Central Monitoring Station,
an alarm message is also sent (
may be delayed 30 seconds
to reduce false alarms).

•

To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.

•

Memory of Alarm:

When an alarm condition occurs, the
keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the
problem, and displays the type of alarm. Clear the Memory of
Alarm display by entering another “off” sequence.

IMPORTANT:
If you return to the premises and the main
burglary sounder is on, or the keypad beeps rapidly upon
entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has oc
-
curred during your absence and an intruder may still be
on the premises.
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE
POLICE
from a nearby safe location.

NOTES on FIRE
and CO
DETECTION


•

Your fire alarm
system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, for
cont
inuous
detection
. In the event of an emergency, the
smoke and heat detectors
sound their alarms, triggering a
loud, interrupted pulsed sound
from the Keypad(s) and any
external sounders.

•

You can silence the alarm at any time by pressing a valid
code +
OFF
.
•

Carbon monoxide (CO)
detectors, if installed, provide

continuous
detection
. If a high level of carbon monoxide is
detected, an interrupted pulsed alarm sound
occurs at the
keypads and the detector(s)
. Immediately move to a spot
where fresh air is available, preferably outdoors. From a safe
area, call your security service provider for further
instructions.
To silence the keypad sounding, press
a valid
code +
OFF. To silence the detector, see its instructions.


CHECKING
OPEN
ZONES

Checking Zones:
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows and other
detection
zones must be closed or bypassed; otherwise the keypad display
s "Not Ready."

GOTO:
If the user is authorized, a keypad in one partition can be used to perform system
functions in the other partition by using the GOTO command
.

ARMING THE SYSTEM
, CHIME MODE, and CONTROLLING DEVICES
Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows and make sure the Ready to Arm
message is shown
. After arming, leave the premises through an entry/exit door
during the

When entering codes and commands, sequential key depressions
must be made within
4-5 seconds of one another. If 4

be aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.

• If you make a mistake while entering a security code, stop, press the

If you stop in the middle while entering a code, and then immediately start the entry
over, an erroneous code
might be entered.

SECURITY CODES
Your installer assigned a master code that is used to perform
all system functions.

In addition, other security codes can be assigned for use by other users.

•

Only the Master and Manager Codes
can assign security codes to users.

•

Users are identified by
a 3-digit user number.

•

In addition to a security code, each user is assigned an authority level and
various system
attributes.
See the full User Guide for definitions of each Authority Level.

•

Security codes can be used interchangeably within a partition when performing system
functions (a system armed with one
security code can be disarmed by a different security
code), with the exception of the Guest
codes
.
•

Security code programming involves these steps:

1. Choose a user number from the set of users assigned to the partition in whi
ch the user
will be operating, and assign a 4
-digit security code.


2. Assign an authority level to that user.


3. Assign other attributes as necessary.
