7Access 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 can only be changed by the Installer, if pro-grammed.Supervisor Codes - These codes are always valid when entering the User Code Program-ming section. However, these codes can only program additional codes which have equal or lesserattributes. Once programmed, the Supervisor Codes receive the Master Code’s attributes. Theseattributes are changeable. Any User Code can be made a supervisor code by enabling User CodeAttribute 1 (please see below for details). Duress Codes - Duress codes are standard User Codes that will transmit the Duress Reporting Codewhenever the code is entered to perform any function on the system. Any User Code can be made aDuress Code by enabling User Code Attribute 2 (please see below for details). One Time Use Code - This code permits temporary access to the system for a 24 Hr. timeperiod. During the 24 Hr. period, the temporary user may disarm the system once. There is norestriction on the number of times the temporary user may arm the system during the timeperiod.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 Attributes1. The default attributes of a new code will be the attributes of the code used to enter whether it is a new code or an existing code being programmed. 2. System Master (Code 40) has Attribute 3 ON by default. NOTE: These attributes are not changeable.Inherent Attributes (all codes except installer)Arm / Disarm - Any Access Code will be valid for arming and disarming the system.Command Outputs ([][7][1] and [][7][2]) - If these outputs require Access Code entry, anyAccess Code is valid for performing the [][7][1-2][Access Code] functions on the system.Programmable Attributes ([][5][Master/Supervisor Code][99][Code])1 Supervisor Code2 Duress Code3 Zone Bypassing Enabled4-6 For Future Use7 Bell Squawk upon Arming/Disarming8 One Time Use CodeBell Squawk AttributeThis attribute is used to determine whether an access code should generate an arming/disarming BellSquawk upon entry of the code for Away arming. The Wireless Keys with access codes associatedwith them may generate Arming/Disarming Bell squawks. If desired, this option may be used withcodes that are manually entered. Please contact your installer to have this programmed.NOTE: The Master Code cannot use the Bell Squawk attribute, but is required to enable it for other codes. NOTE: This feature cannot prevent the Arm/Disarming squawks from being generated if an access code assigned to a WLS Key is manually entered at a keypad.Erasing an Access CodeTo erase a code, select the code and enter as the first digit.

Press [Master Code] .2. The following will occur: - The system activates all sounders for 2 seconds. All display lights and all pixels will turn ON.- The Ready, Armed, Trouble and Power LED’s will flash for the duration of the test3. To exit the function menu, press . Testing Your Entire SystemAll smoke detectors in this installation must be tested by your smoke detector installer or dealer oncea year to ensure they are functioning correctly. It is the user’s responsibility to test the system weekly(excluding smoke detectors). Ensure you follow all the steps in the ‘Testing Your System’ sectionabove.NOTE: Should the system fail to function properly, call your installation company for service im-mediately. 1. Prior to testing, ensure that the system is disarmed and the Ready light is on.2. Press and close all zones to return the system to the Ready state.3. Perform a System Test by following the steps in the previous section.4. To test the zones, activate each detector in turn (e.g., open each door/window or walk in motion detector areas). The System will display the following message when each zone (detector) is activated: “Secure System Before Arming < >”, “Secure System or Enter Code” or “Secure or Arm System”. Use the keys to view which zones are open. The message will disappear when the zones are closed.Walk Test ModeThe installer or user can initiate a Walk Test mode for the system. While in Walk Test mode, TheReady, Armed, and Trouble LED's will flash to indicate that Walk Test is active. When the system auto-matically terminates the Walk Test mode, it will annunciate with an audible warning (5 beeps every10 seconds), beginning five minutes prior to the termination of the test.Allowing Computer Access To Your SystemFrom time to time, your installer may need to send information to or retrieve information from yoursecurity system. Your installer will do this by having a computer call your system over the telephoneline. You may need to prepare your system to receive this ‘downloading’ call. To do this:1. Press [Master code] at the keypad. This allows downloading for a limited period of time. During this time, the system will answer incoming downloading calls. For more information on this feature, please ask your installer.
12Guidelines for Locating Smoke DetectorsResearch 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 precededetectable 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 firecodes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms.It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protec-tion be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms,especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways notprotected by the required units.On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacingmay be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulatedceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-M86 or other appro-priate 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 accordance with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code. Smoke detectors should always be located in accordance with:‘Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vi-cinity of the bedrooms and on each additional storey of the family living unit, including base-ments and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke detectoralso shall be installed in each sleeping room’.’Split level arrangment:Smoke detectors are re-quired where shown. Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between liv-ing room and recreation room’.Figure 3a
13Household Fire Safety AuditRead 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, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances 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? Clean-ing with flammable liquids should be avoided.3. Are fire-hazardous materials (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 PlanningThere is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thusvery 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. 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 or pets as this wastes 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 installing dealer.• 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.

NOTES: Draft - Sep 05, 2007
WARNING Please Read CarefullyNote to InstallersThis warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contactwith system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warn-ing to the attention of the users of this system.System FailuresThis system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other typesof emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system ofany type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate asexpected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons maybe:■ Inadequate InstallationA security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequateprotection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security profes-sional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks andlatches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended.Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be ofsufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protectionexpected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any constructionactivity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly rec-ommended if this service is available.■ Criminal KnowledgeThis system contains security features which were known to be effectiveat the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intentto develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. Itis important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure thatits features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is foundthat it does not provide the protection expected.■ Access by IntrudersIntruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent asensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficientcoverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent theproper operation of the system.■ Power FailureControl units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other secu-rity devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If adevice operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Evenif the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good conditionand installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any inter-ruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it doesnot have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompaniedby voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as asecurity system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediatelyconduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates asintended.■ Failure of Replaceable BatteriesThis system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide severalyears of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life isa function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditionssuch as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperaturefluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmittingdevice has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries needto be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular test-ing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.■ Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) DevicesSignals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which couldinclude metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.■ System UsersA user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possiblydue to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach thedevice in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is importantthat 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 analarm.■ Smoke DetectorsSmoke 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 smokedetectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke maynot be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in achimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smokedetectors 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 ofburning. 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-stances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escapein time to avoid injury or death.■ Motion DetectorsMotion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas asshown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discrimi-nate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do notprovide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detec-tion and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered bythese beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Anytype of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking,painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows orany other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera-ture. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tem-perature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional orunintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of theseheat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces,sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.■ Warning Devices Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn peo-ple or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. Ifwarning devices are located on a different level of the residence orpremise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awak-ened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noisesources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appli-ances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may notbe heard by a hearing-impaired person.■ Telephone LinesIf telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of serviceor busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephoneline or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may bedifficult to detect.■ Insufficient TimeThere may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended,yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to theirinability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system ismonitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants ortheir belongings.■ Component FailureAlthough every effort has been made to make this system as reliable aspossible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of acomponent.■ Inadequate TestingMost problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating asintended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The completesystem should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, anattempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kindof construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing shouldinclude all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devicesand any other operational devices that are part of the system.■ Security and InsuranceRegardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for prop-erty or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for propertyowners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or mini-mize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.©2007 Digital Security Controls Toronto, Canada • www.dsc.comPrinted in Canada 29007326R001
