RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices Help Provide Proper Coverage
for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in the
National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of
the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping
area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke
detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining
room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or completely closed.
Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the
door is closed.
• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or
humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm control
connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could
prevent the control from reporting a fire or an intrusion.
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL
PULSE SOUNDING OF FIRE NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES.

Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or premises. This would
include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system. This will ensure that alarm signals can be sent to
the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the
phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

Installing Wireless Zones
General Information
Zones: The control supports up to 24 wireless zones using 5800 Series transmitters, and up to 16 wireless buttons.
Range: The built-in RF receiver can detect signals from wireless transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet.
Transmitters: 5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be entered into the system using the
*56 or *83 interactive mode, or input to the control via the downloader. 5800 Series transmitters (except the 5800RL
and 5827, described separately) do not have DIP switches. Each transmitter's zone number is programmed into the
system in *56 mode. Some transmitters, such as the 5816 and 5817, can support more than one "zone" (referred to as
loops or inputs). On the 5816, for example, the wire connection terminal block is loop 1, the reed contact is loop 2.
Each loop must be assigned a different zone number.

The 5816 and 5817 Transmitters do not have EOL supervision of their loop wiring. Therefore, for
UL Household Burglary installations, the loop wiring may not exceed 3 feet.
The 5800RL, 5802MN, 5802MN2, 5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, 5804E, 5804WATCH, 5814, 5816TEMP,
5819, 5819S(WHS & BRS), and 5850(GBD) transmitters are not intended for any UL installations.

For button transmitters (RF "keys") such as the 5804 and 5801, you must assign a unique zone number to each
individual button used on the transmitter. Each button on the transmitter also has a pre-designated loop or input
number, which is automatically displayed.
House Identification
If you are using a 5804BD/5804BDV, or 5827 Wireless Keypad with the
system, you must program a House ID Code (01–31) in field *24 to establish
proper communication, and the keypad must be set to the same ID. House ID
00 disables all wireless keypads. An RF House ID is not necessary for other
5800 Series transmitters; the entry should be left at “00” (default) in those
cases. The 5827 reports low battery status as zone “00”.

Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters/keypads that may be carried off-premises
(5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, 5804E, 5804WATCH, and 5827), each
transmitter is supervised by a check-in signal that is sent to the receiver at
70–90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is not received from each
supervised transmitter within a 12-hour period, the "missing" transmitter
number(s) and "FAULT" will be displayed. The supervision for a particular
transmitter in the system that may also be carried off the premises (5801,
5802MN) may be turned off by entering it as a "UR" (unsupervised RF) type,
as described in the *56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode section.
5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will annunciate
as a fault condition if covers are removed.

Transmitter Input Types
All of the transmitters described have one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) ID codes. Each of the inputs
requires its own programming zone (e.g., a 5804's four inputs require four button zones).
Transmitters can be entered as one of the following types (see transmitter’s instructions for appropriate input type):
Type
"RF" (Supervised RF)

Description
Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore, and low battery signals.
The transmitter must remain within the receiver's range.
Sends all the signals that the "RF" type does, but the control does not supervise
"UR" (Unsupervised RF)
the check-in signals. The transmitter may therefore be carried off-premises.
"BR" (Unsupervised Button RF) These only send fault signals. They do not send low battery signals until they are
activated. The transmitter may be carried off-premises.

Installing Wireless Zones
Transmitter Battery Life
• Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4–7 years,
depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device
being used. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as
well as large swings in temperature may all reduce the actual battery
life in a given installation. The wireless system can identify a true low
battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to
arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that point
within the system.
• Button-type transmitters should be periodically tested for battery life.
The 5801, 5802MN, 5802MN2, 5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, 5804E,
and 5804WATCH button transmitters have replaceable batteries.
Using the Transmitter Sniffer Mode
Use this mode after all transmitters have been entered to check that all
transmitters have been properly programmed.
1. Enter Installer code (4112) + [#] + 3.
Note: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central
station, the system will not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few
minutes and try again.

OF
F

5804 /5804E

The keypad will display all zone numbers which have a non-zero Zone Type (even if serial numbers were not
learned yet). Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal. As the system receives a signal
from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter will disappear from the display. The
transmitters may be checked upon installation, or in an installed system.
When all transmitters have been checked, exit the Sniffer mode by keying Installer Code (4112) + OFF.

Notes:
• Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit (Installer Code + OFF) Sniffer mode to return to
normal operation.
• All BR-type units must physically be activated to clear the display, since they do not automatically send check-in
signals.
• When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other buttons on that transmitter
are cleared. This also applies to 5816 and 5817 transmitters that have multiple loops (zones).
• Any transmitter that is not “entered” will not turn off its zone number.

Go/No Go Test Mode
The Go/No Go tests will verify adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and allow you to
reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently.
This mode is similar to the transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This will enable
you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal amplitude when the
system is in the normal operating mode.
1. Enter Installer Code (4112) + [#] + 8.
2. Once you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to be run to
sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each transmitter. Do not conduct this
test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results
Note: On button type transmitters whose buttons have been set to Arm AWAY, Arm STAY, or Disarm, pressing a
button will take the system out of the Go/No Go Test mode and cause that action.

The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception and display the appropriate zone number.
If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move the transmitter to another location. Usually a few inches in
either direction is all that is required.
If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then permanently mount
each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.
Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: Installer Code (4112) + OFF.

Mechanics of Programming
General Programming Information
Programming options are stored in nonremovable, electrically erasable, nonvolatile EEROM memory. You can program the
system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual installation. Simply apply power temporarily to the
Control and then program the unit as desired. There are two programming modes:
• Data field programming (used for setting various system options)
• Interactive menu mode programming (used for programming zone information, programming Powerline Carrier Devices,
and for entering transmitter serial numbers)
You can also program this system remotely, using an IBM Personal Computer, a modem, and Compass Downloader for
Windows. See the Remote Programming/Control (Downloading) section.
Note: You may find it convenient to adjust the volume setting before entering the Program Mode. This will allow you to clearly hear the
feedback announcements or system beeps in the Programming Mode, of the system’s built-in speaker. To adjust the volume, press
FUNCTION + VOLUME+ [3] or [6]. Upon exiting the Program Mode, the system will reset the volume to the default value (mid
level).

Certain features differ between the ReadyGuard-R and the ReadyGuard-REN models. Verify the specific model being
installed prior to the system programming.

Entering Program Mode - Use one of the following methods:
a) Press both the [✳] and [#] keys at the same time, within 50 seconds after power is applied to the Control or from exiting
Programming mode, OR
b) After power-up, enter the Installer Code (4 1 1 2) + 8 0 0. (This method disabled if exit Program mode using *98.)
Note: If a different Installer Code is subsequently programmed, use it instead of 4112 to enter the Programming mode.

Once you have entered the Program mode, data field *20 will be displayed (this is the first data field in the system) and both
keypad LEDs will flash.
Programming a Data Field
1. Press [*] + Field No. (for example, *21), then make the required entry.
2. When you have completely programmed a data field, the keypad will “beep” three times and then automatically display
the next data field in sequence. To go to a different field, press [*] plus the desired field number.
3. If the number of digits that you need to enter in a data field is less than the maximum number of digits available (eg.
phone number field), enter the desired data, then press [*] to program the next data field.
4. If you enter a nonexistent field, the keypad will display “EE”. Simply re-enter [*] plus a valid field number.
To view a data field without making changes, press [#] + Field No. Data will be displayed for that field.
To delete an entry in a field, press [*] + Field No. + [*]. (Applies only to fields *40–*44, *88 and *94).
Interactive Mode Programming (*56, *80, *81, *83, *84, *85)
Press [*] + interactive mode No. (for example, *56). The keypad will display the first of a series of prompts.
A detailed procedure (with displays of prompts) is provided in later sections of this manual.

Loading Factory Defaults
To load the factory defaults, enter the Programming mode, press *97, then press number 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select from default
tables 1-4 at the back of this manual, or press “0” if you are not selecting a default table.

If loading a default table, any data that has already been programmed into the system will be changed according to
the default table selected!

*96

resets all the subscriber account numbers and CSID in preparation for an initial download.
Exiting Program Mode
*99 allows re-entry into the Program mode using Installer Code + 8 0 0.
*98 inhibits re-entry into the Programming mode using the Installer Code.
Note: After exiting program mode (or upon power-up), the system takes up to a minute to reset. To bypass the reset delay, press [#] + [0].

This field applies only to burglary zones (zone response types 1-5, 10),
and affects long range radio reporting but does not affect central station
reporting.
Note: This field applies only to the bell and does not affect keypad
sounds.

This Control complies with NFPA requirements for temporal pulse
sounding of fire notification appliances.
Temporal pulse sounding for a fire alarm consists of the following:
3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses. . .
This field determines whether the external sounder will shut off after time
allowed, or continue until manually turned off.
UL installations: must be set for a minimum of 4 min (option 1)
The system will wait the time entered before sounding an alarm if the exit
door is left open after the system has been armed.
UL installations: must be set for a maximum of 60 seconds

–17–

Data Field Descriptions
*35

00-99 = entry delay time in seconds.

The system will wait the time entered before sounding alarm upon entering
if system is not disarmed. UL installations: must be set for a maximum of 45
seconds

*36

Entry Delay 02
00-99 = entry delay time in seconds.

The system will wait the time entered before sounding alarm upon entering.
UL installations: must be set for a maximum of 45 seconds

*37

exit

Confirmation of Arming Ding
0 = no ding
1 = confirmation ding after arming system
2 = confirmation ding after arming from RF button or
RF keypad only

Power Up In Previous State
0 = always power up in a disarmed state
1 = assume the system status prior to power-down

Exit Warning: Sound consists of slow continuous beeps until last 5 seconds,
when it changes to fast beeps. The warning sound will end at the
termination of exit delay.
Quick Exit: If enabled, user can restart the exit delay time after arming in
STAY mode by entering the user code and pressing the STAY key, or by
pressing the STAY key if Quick Arm is enabled. This avoids having the
user disarm then re-arm the system after allowing someone to enter or exit
Confirmation of arming is provided by a 1/2 second external sounder “ding”
that sounds when closing report is sent, or at the end of exit delay.
If Option 2 is selected the external sounder “ding” occurs immediately after
the system receives the RF transmission.
When the system powers up armed, an alarm will occur 1 minute after
arming if a zone is faulted, and any bypassed zones will be unbypassed.
Note: If the previous state was armed AWAY or STAY, the system will not
respond to sensor changes for 1 minute, which allows time for sensors such
as PIRs to stabilize. UL installations: must be 1 (power up in previous state)

DIALER PROGRAMMING (*40–*50)
Fields *40, *41, *42: Enter up to the number of digits shown. Do not fill unused spaces. Enter 0–9, # + 11 for ‘*’; # + 12 for ‘#’; # + 13 for

SYSTEM STATUS AND RESTORE REPORT CODES PROGRAMMING (* 59 –* 76, & * 89)
Program Report Codes using the interactive *56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode, or codes can be entered in data fields *59-*76, *89.
The following is a set of guidelines when programming report codes. The actual report code digits that you enter depend upon the
particular installation, and should be in agreement with you and the central station office receiving the signals.
With a 3+1 or 4+1 Standard Format: Enter a code in the first box: 1–9, A, B, C, D, E, or F. Enter "#+10" for A (reports a “0” on some
receivers), "#+11" for B, "#+12" for C, "#+13" for D, "#+14" for E, "#+15" for F. Entering "0" in the first box will disable a report.
Entering "0" in the second box results in automatic advance to the next field.
With an Expanded or 4+2 Format: Enter codes in both boxes (1st and 2nd digits) for 1–9, or A–F, as described above. Entering "0" in
the first box will disable a report. Entering "0" in the second box will eliminate the expanded message for that report.
With ADEMCO Contact ID® Reporting: Enter a digit in the first box to enable the zone to report. Use a different digit for each zone
until you have used up available digits. If the number of zones exceeds the number of available digits, begin with digit 1 again. This is an
"enabling" code only and is not the actual code sent to the central station office. Entries in the second boxes will be ignored. For system
status (non-alarm) codes, enter a “1” in the first box for all the system conditions you want to send to the central station. A "0" in the first
box disables the report.

SYSTEM STATUS REPORT CODES (*59–*68)
Exit Error Report Code
*59
See notes above

If the system is armed and an entry/exit or interior zone is still open
after the exit delay time has expired, an alarm will sound at the
keypad and external sounder. If the system is disarmed before the
end of the entry delay that immediately follows, the alarm sounding
will stop and no message will be sent to the central station. The
keypad will display “CA (CANCELED ALARM).”
If the system is not disarmed before the end of the entry delay
mentioned above, and an entry/exit or interior zone is still open, an
“exit alarm” message will be sent to the central station if an Exit
Error report code is selected in this field. The keypad will display
“EA (EXIT ALARM),” and the alarm sounding will continue until
the system is disarmed (or timeout occurs).
An Exit Alarm condition will also result if a fault occurs in an exit or
interior zone within 2 minutes following the end of the exit delay,
and an “Exit Alarm” message will be sent to the central station.
If Contact ID format has been programmed, the message will contain
the zone number and error code 374 (Trouble–Exit Error). If 4+2
format is used, the digit entered in this field will be sent followed by
the second digit of the programmed alarm code for that zone. If 3+1
or 4+1 format is used, only the digit entered in this field will be sent.
This message will go to the primary phone no. Under any of these
conditions, no restore message will be sent.
If “0” is entered in this field, no special message will be sent, only
the regular alarm and alarm restore code for the zone.

*60
*61
*62

Trouble Report Code (See notes above)

This will be sent if a zone goes into trouble.

Bypass Report Code (See notes above)

This will be sent when a zone is manually bypassed.

AC Loss Report Code (See notes above)

Timing of this report is random with up to a 4-hour delay. If AC
restores before the report goes out, there is no AC restore report.

*63

Low Battery Report Code (See notes above)

This will be sent when a low battery condition exists in the system’s
standby battery.

*64

Test Report Code (See notes above)

This is sent periodically to test that the communicator and phone
lines are operational (frequency of report is selected in field *51).

NOTES: Verify that the pager supports [*] and [#]
characters before using them. Some pagers
require an additional delay [pause] in order to
receive the entire message.

If entered, these digits will appear in front of the 7-digit pager message
sent by the control (either upon a system event or upon pressing the AUX
key [if programmed for paging]), and during latch key report (if enabled
during scheduling). These digits can consist of a PIN number, account
number, pauses or special digits needed by the pager (these types of
characters are not displayed), or any other characters the user chooses that
will be displayed (eg., using a character code to distinguish between
control panel messages and other pager messages).
You do not need to fill all 16 digits. Press [*] + next field number to exit

UL installations: must be 1 (unlimited reports)
If enabled, the control will ignore the last 1, 2, or 3 digits of the
programmed callback number (field *94) during a single download session.
This allows the download operator to temporarily change the callback phone
number by the number of digits selected, which allows the control to call
back similar, but different numbers during a single session. For example, if
downloading to a large number of controls, the operator can command the
controls to call back phone numbers 555-1111, 555-1112, 555-1113, etc.,
thus spreading the communications among several computers.

Note: BR type devices cannot be enrolled by using UR or RF type. Likewise,
UR or RF type devices cannot be enrolled by using a BR type device.
There is a 52-second time-out for RF enrolling. At the end of the timeout, the system returns to the INPUT TYPE prompt (d). If enrolled, loop
number and “L” are displayed.

RF Learning - Two (2) transmissions (2 key depressions) at least 5
seconds apart will be required for BR type devices (device type 5). Two
beeps will sound after the second transmission, confirming that the loop
number and serial number have been learned.

*56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode
For all other device types, four (4) transmissions are required (fault,
restore and fault, restore). A single beep will sound after the second
transmission confirming that the loop and serial number have been
captured. Following the fourth transmission the system will confirm that
the loop number and serial number have been learned and announce the
Voice Descriptor for the zone, if it is programmed, followed by two
beeps.
Press [*] to continue.
Manual Entry - Enter the desired loop number and press [*] to continue
(see the transmitter’s Installation Instructions for specific loop
designations).
Note: The loop number can be changed even if the zone has already been
entered. Care should be taken when using this feature as it has the
capability to make zones inoperable by creating a mismatch of a
working serial number/loop number combination. This should be reconfirmed if the loop number is changed.

“L” indicates that the zone’s serial number has already been enrolled.

Confirm serial number
The serial number/loop number combination can be confirmed after one
transmission from a BR type device or two transmissions (fault and
restore) from a UR or RF type device. If a transmission is received that
matches the serial number and loop number entered, the system will
confirm the reception by announcing the Voice Descriptor for the zone, if
it is programmed, followed by three beeps, and a “C” will appear on the
display indicating the received serial number and loop number have been
confirmed. No further transmissions will be received.
Delete serial number
The serial number can be deleted by entering “9”.
If “L” is not displayed, the serial number for this transmitter has not been

*80 Device Programming Menu Mode
Powerline Carrier devices (eg., X-10 brand devices) are programmable switches that can be used to perform many different
functions. They can be used to turn lights on and off, control sounders, or for status indications. In this system, each device
must be programmed as to how to act (ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP). Each of these
is described below.
The control supports a total of 8 output devices.
The 1332X10 transformer sends signals from the control panel through the premises AC wiring to the Powerline Carrier
Devices (which are plugged into AC outlets). Devices plugged into Powerline Carrier Devices can then be made to perform
various functions in response to commands entered at the keypads in the security system.

Powerline Carrier Devices are not UL Listed for fire or burglary functions and are intended
for home automation.

Programming Options Defined
The following will help you understand the programming of output devices when using *80 and *81 modes.
ACTION

The "ACTION" of the device is how the device will respond when it is activated by the "START"
programming. There are four different choices of actions:
• ACTIVATE for 2 SECONDS and then reset.
• ACTIVATE and REMAIN ACTIVATED until stopped by some other event.
• PULSE ON and OFF until stopped by some other event.
• NOT USED when the device is not used.

START

The "START" programming determines when and under what conditions the device will be activated. The
following START options are available:
Start by Event
1. Event is the condition (alarm, fault, trouble) that must occur to a zone or group of zones (zone list) in
order to activate the device. These conditions apply only when a zone list is used. The different
choices for "EVENT" are listed below and in the “Programming Powerline Carrier Devices” paragraph
that follows.
• ALARM
Device activates upon any alarm in an assigned zone in the zone list.
• FAULT
Device activates upon any opening or short in an assigned zone in the zone list.
• TROUBLE Device activates upon any trouble condition in an assigned zone in the zone list.
• NOT USED Device action is not dependent upon one of the above events.
2. A zone list is a group of zones to which the “EVENT” applies in order to activate a particular device.
Note that there are a total of 3 output device-related zone lists that can be programmed in *81 menu
mode; when the selected EVENT (alarm, fault or trouble) occurs in any zone in the selected “Start”
ZONE LIST (1, 2, or 3), activation of the selected device will START.
Start by Zone Type or System Operation
If a system operation, such as “DISARMING” or “ANY FIRE ALARM,” is to activate the device, the
appropriate choice would also be entered under the “ZONE TYPE” option. “ZONE TYPE” is used
independently of the “EVENT/ZONE LIST” combination.
If a "ZONE TYPE" is chosen, any zone of that response type going into alarm, trouble, or fault will cause
the device to activate as selected in "ACTION.” If the same “ZONE TYPE” is also chosen for the STOP
programming, any zone of that type that restores will de-activate the device.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen (e.g., End of Exit Time), that operation will cause the device to
activate as selected in "ACTION.” The different choices for "ZONE TYPE" and "SYSTEM
OPERATION" are listed in the “Start zone type” paragraphs later in this section, and in the Programming
Form.

–28–

*80 Device Programming Menu Mode
The "STOP" programming determines when and under what conditions the device will be de-activated. The
following options are available:

STOP

Upon Restore of a Zone List
Restore Zone List: If a "ZONE LIST" is used as the “Stop” event, the device will de-activate when all the
zones in that list restore from a previous fault, trouble, or alarm condition. This will occur regardless of
what is programmed to "START" the device; therefore, a "RESTORE ZONE LIST" would normally only
be used when a "ZONE LIST" is used to start the device.
Upon a Zone Type or System Operation
Zone Type/System Operation: Instead of using a "RESTORE ZONE LIST," a specific zone (response) type
or system operation action can be selected to de-activate the device.
If a specific "ZONE TYPE" is chosen, any zone of that response type that restores from a previous alarm,
trouble, or fault condition will cause the device to de-activate.
If a "SYSTEM OPERATION" is chosen, that operation will cause the device to de-activate.
During normal system operation, any devices may be manually started by keypad entry of: Code* + [#] + 4 + “n;” or
manually stopped by keypad entry of: Code* + [#] + 7 + “n,” where “n” = the device number to be controlled.
* Code is required for devices 7 and 8. For devices 1-6, code is not required. See User Manual for more information.

announce the Voice Descriptor for the selected zone, if it is programmed.
After all desired zones are enrolled, enter “00” to advance.

To delete the zone list, enter “1”. All zones in the zone list will be deleted
automatically and programming will return to the ZONE LIST NUMBER
prompt.
To save the zone list or delete specific zones from the list, enter “0”.
To save the entire zone list, enter “0” and programming will return to the
ZONE LIST NUMBER prompt.
To delete a zone or zones in a zone list enter “1”.

When deleting a zone(s) from the zone list, if the selected zone has a Voice
Descriptor programmed, upon deletion it will be announced as a
confirmation that it has been deleted. After all zones to be deleted are
entered, enter “00” to return to the ZONE LIST NUMBER prompt so that
another list can be programmed, if desired.

*83 Enhanced Sequential Mode
By using this mode, you can add, delete, or change the serial number of a transmitter in a zone, but retain all other existing
data that has been programmed for that zone. Note that the *83 Enhanced Sequential mode requires that all zone information
must first be entered using the *56 Enhanced Zone Programming mode for all zones below zone number 26 (4 button key
area).
Note: Any zone which already has a serial number learned in will not be accessible in *83 Enhanced Sequential mode!

Certain button-type transmitters have more than one button (e.g., 5804). Note that each button must be assigned to a different
zone. Similarly, the 5816 Transmitter has contact terminals and a reed switch for use with a magnet. If using both, each must
also be assigned to a different zone.
This means that the procedures that follow must be repeated for each button-type zone below zone number 26 or contact on
the transmitter. Four zone button-type devices are held in zones 26 and above. They will be started on boundaries of zones
26, 30, 34, and 38. These four zone button-type devices will have the option to have all information entered in this field. One
entry will set the loop number, report code, zone type, and input device type for all 4 buttons, and a second entry will enter
one serial number into four zones.
Note: Use this mode only after all other zone information has been programmed, including transmitter loop numbers except for
button-type zones over zone number 26. The panel will stop at zones 26, 30, 34 and 38 and zone data can be entered as a
default here.

Enter Serial Number Sequential mode by pressing *83. The prompts for *83 are as follows:
A 01

Zone Number ------------------------------------ for entering the zone number to be programmed

Enroll Mode-------------------------------------- Selects method of serial number or viewing

Enroll Serial Number--------------------------- for entering transmitter serial numbers

Delete Serial Number -------------------------- for deleting existing serial numbers

The following explains these prompts in detail. The left two columns identify the prompts and list the available entries. The
right-most column provides a further explanation of the entries.
Notes: (1) Entry of a number other than one specified will give unpredictable results.
(2) In Enhanced Sequential Mode, 4 button type keys will always be enrolled simultaneously. They will be stopped at the 4
button boundaries of 26, 30, 34 and 38, provided the zone is free of a serial number. If the first zone of the key has a
serial number enrolled, the remaining keys cannot be programmed in sequential mode. In addition, if the zone has not
been set up (duplicate loop, missing zone type, etc.) only entries 0 (skip to the next zone) and 4 (copy the key template)
will be allowed.
(3) You may find it convenient to adjust the volume setting before entering the Programming Mode. This will allow you to
clearly hear feedback announcements or system beeps.

Zone number
Enter the 2-digit zone number.
[*] = continue; system searches for zones not
yet entered (for zones 2 through 25 a zone
type must be entered), then advances to
ENROLL SERIAL NUMBER prompt “1b”
00 = exit Sequential mode

Enter the 2-digit zone number of the first transmitter to have its serial
number entered. The system will announce the Voice Descriptor for the
selected zone number, if it is programmed.
Press [*] to continue. Starting with this zone number, the system will
search for the first transmitter that has all of the following attributes preprogrammed in *56 ENHANCED ZONE PROGRAMMING:
a) Make sure that the appropriate input type was selected in *56 (RF,
UR, or BR programmed)
b) Make sure that the appropriate loop number was selected in *56.
c) No serial number programmed
d) Zone type
If the first zone number entered does not have one or more of the above
attributes, the system will search its database for the first zone that does,
and will display it at the enroll SERIAL NUMBER prompt (1b).
Pressing 00 exits mode, upon which the prompt “83” blinks, indicating
the mode is inactive.
Note: Two exceptions to the requirement above exist for keys. Four zone
button type devices (zone numbers 26, 30, 34, and 38) will be stopped
only if there are no serial numbers enrolled in all 4 zones of the key,
regardless of the attributes that have been entered. In addition, zone
types are not required to be present. In this case, 1A, Option 4 must be
selected prior to “Learn”.

1 = enter now and proceed to SERIAL NUMBER
prompt (1b).
For 4 button keys (zones 26-29, 30-33, 34-37, &
38-41) the serial number will be enrolled to all four
buttons.
If enrolling a key, the panel will emit a long beep
when entering a 1 to indicate that the present key
set up is invalid.
Notes: 1. A valid template or key has 4 existing
zones, each with a zone type, unique loop
number.
2. If the display automatically advances to
"1A" rather than "1b" the configuration of
the key is not valid. At that point copy
template, skip, or return are the only
legal entries.

2 = copy the previous serial number entry from
the buffer.
Notes: 1. Before you can copy a serial number you
must first enter a serial number. If no
serial is stored in the buffer and a copy is
attempted the panel will emit a long beep
indicating an invalid operation.
2. Not applicable for 4 button key zones 2629, 30-33, 34-37, & 38-41.

3 = view existing serial number.
Note:

Only if “L” is displayed. If the “L” is not
displayed the panel will emit a long beep.

4 = copy the 4 button key template that has been
set in zone numbers 26-29 (all zone parameters except serial numbers). (Only valid on
zones 30-33, 34-37, & 38-41 that do not have
serial numbers enrolled.)
Notes: 1. Template acceptance is indicated by two
beeps after copying.
2. A single long beep emitted when copying
a indicates the template is not valid.

9 = delete existing serial. Go to the (1A) prompt.
For 4-button key, zones 26-29, 30-33, 34-37,
& 38-41 have serial numbers. Delete all four
at one time.
Note:

Only if “L” is displayed. If the “L” is not
displayed the panel will emit a long beep.

[*] = advance to next zone to be enrolled
[#] = return to previous prompt (A)

–33–

Note: If “L” is displayed, the serial number for this transmitter has already
been entered, however, it may still be confirmed, viewed or deleted.

If the transmitter’s serial number has not been previously entered, you
may enter the enroll serial number mode (1A) by entering “1”, or copy
the last serial number that was entered by entering “2”.
If the transmitter’s serial number has been previously entered, you may,
view the present serial number by entering “3”. If view is selected each
digit will be re-displayed, and the keypad will beep once for digits 1-6,
and three times for the last digit. Once the serial number has been entered
by either selecting a “1” or a “2”, you will return to this prompt with the
“L” on the display. The serial number/loop number combination that was
entered can be confirmed by getting two transmissions (fault and restore)
from the RF or UR device or one transmission from the BR device. If a
transmission is received that matches the serial number and loop number
entered, the system will announce the Voice Descriptor for the loop
followed by three beeps, and a “C” will be displayed indicating that the
received serial number and loop number transmission has been
confirmed to match. No further transmissions will be received. When
confirming a 4 button key, only the serial number is confirmed, since it
assumed that all loops are used. Pressing any key will allow a
confirmation.
*Long beep indicates illegal entries, or duplicate serial number/loop entry*

When the last zone has been entered, the display will remain on that zone.
To exit this mode and return to data field program mode, press 00 at the
ZONE NUMBER prompt.
When all zones have been programmed, test each zone using the system’s
Test mode. Do not use the Transmitter ID Sniffer mode for this, since it
will only check for transmission of one zone on a particular transmitter,
and not the zones assigned to each additional loop.
For Zones 26-29, 30-33, 34-37, and 38-41 any loop can be used for RF
enrollment. If enrolling via RF, it will be confirmed without additional
transmissions.

EEROM and the last serial entered buffer.
Note: For zones 26, 30, 34 and 38 only BR type
devices can be used.

This prompt can be used to enroll the transmitter serial number via
RF transmission or manually. If using the RF Learning Mode there is
no need to manually enter a serial number. Proceed directly to RF
Learning. Upon entering the Serial Number mode, the Zone
Descriptors will be announced.
Note: BR type devices can be enrolled only by transmission from BR
devices. Likewise, UR and RF devices can only be enrolled by
transmission from a UR or RF device

RF Learning - Two (2) transmissions (2 key depressions) at least
five seconds apart, will be required for BR type or four (4)
transmissions (fault, restore and fault, restore) for UR or RF type. If
the learned serial number has a different loop number than that
entered in *56 the system will announce the Voice Descriptor, if it is
programmed, followed by two beeps and will return to Prompt (1A)
and “L” will be displayed.
If the loop number captured by RF transmission and that entered in
*56 mode match, the system will announce the Voice Descriptor, if it
is programmed, followed by three beeps and return to Prompt (1A)
and “LC” will be displayed. No additional transmissions are needed
for confirmation.
Manual Entry - Enter the 7-digit serial number printed on the
transmitter. If you enter an incorrect digit, press the [#] key to backup
to prompt (1A) and start over. When all 7 digits are entered, press the
[*] key. If less than 7 digits are entered, the keypad will emit a single
long beep and return to the (1A) prompt without displaying the “L”.
If more than 7 digits have been entered, the first 6 digits will be saved
along with the last digit that was entered (entering 123456789 yields
the serial number 1234569).
Note: If 52 seconds pass and no entry has been made, the system returns
to prompt (1A).

Delete serial number

This function deletes only the serial number.

0 = discard the delete request
1 = confirm requested delete

Entering a “9” at prompt (1A). Confirmation of the delete request will
cause deletion of the serial number pertaining to the zone being
programmed.

Note: Entering a “9” at prompt (1A) will cause the
panel to return to prompt (1A) regardless of
the confirmation answer.

Note:

In Enhanced Sequential Learn Mode, 4 button type keys will always be learned simultaneously. They will be stopped at the 4 button
boundaries of 26, 30, 34 and 38, provided the zone is free of a serial number. If the first zone of the key has a serial number learned, the
remaining keys cannot be programmed in sequential learn mode. In addition, if the zone has not been set up (duplicate loop, missing zone
type, etc.) only entries 0 (skip to the next zone) and 4 (copy the key template) will be allowed.

Remote Programming/Control (Downloading)
General Information
The control panel can be remotely programmed from an IBM-compatible Personal Computer (PC), a HAYES Modem, and
ADEMCO's Compass Downloader for Windows (as specified below).

Downloading may only be performed if a technician is at the site.

Multiple security levels protect remote programming against compromise by attempts to defeat the system.
1. Security Code Handshake: An 8-digit download ID code must be matched between the Control and downloader.
2. Site-Initiated Remote Programming: The installer or subscriber initiates the call from the subscriber premises (by
entering Installer Code + # + 1) while disarmed. All parameters can then be downloaded via the phone lines using a
personal computer.
3. Station-Initiated Remote Programming: The operator calls the site from your office to initiate the download call. The
Control hangs up and then calls back the PC via the preprogrammed telephone number. The unit can then be uploaded,
downloaded, or controlled from your office.
4. Telco Handoff: The installer or subscriber performs a download session on the call initiated from the site or from local
laptop computer (by entering Installer or Master Code + # + 1 at the control panel).
5. Data Encryption: Data passed between the PC and the Control is encrypted for security so that it is very difficult for a
foreign device tapped into the phone line to take over communication and substitute system-compromising information.
Equipment required to download to a system at the premises
• An IBM PC compatible computer and appropriate interconnecting cables.
• Either a HAYES brand SMARTMODEM 1200 (Level 1.2 or higher external or Level 1.1 or higher [with 4 position DIP
switch] internal style), a HAYES brand Optima 336 external, a HAYES brand Optima 24 Plus FAX96, or an Ademco
CIA Modem.
• Compass Downloader for Windows (at revision level supporting ReadyGuard-REN).
Initial Download: Enter Installer Code + # + 5. This sets field *95 to 4 rings, and system to “no call-back” option. The
download computer can then call the subscriber, make connection, and download all programming data.
Flexible Callback: If enabled in field *93, the download operator can temporarily change the last 1, 2, or 3 digits (depending
on selection) of the call back number. This allows the control to call back a computer other than the one programmed, which
may be helpful at times of high computer traffic. See field *93 for a full description.

Remote Programming Information
The downloading system can perform many functions when in communication with the Control. Besides uploading and
downloading, the status of the system can be observed and various commands can be initiated, as follows:
• Arm the system in the away mode; disarm the system.
• Bypass a zone.
• Force the system to accept a new program download.
• Shut down communication (dialer) functions (for nonpayment of monitoring fees in an owned system).
• Shut down all security system functions (for nonpayment for a leased system).
• Inhibit local keypad programming (prevents account takeover).
• Command the system to upload a copy of its resident program to the office.
• Set the time
• View/Modify
• X-10/ Scheduling
• Read: arming status, AC power status, lists of faulted zones, bypassed zones, zones currently in alarm, zones currently in
trouble, and rf sensors with low battery conditions; read control’s time.
Notes: (1) After the control and the PC have established valid communication, the keypad will become inactive and will
display "CC."
(2) The keypad will become active after the download communication is terminated.
(3) The detailed operation of the download functions is covered in the installation instructions for the Compass
Downloader for Windows.

Remote Programming/Control (Downloading)
Remote Programming Advisory Notes
• Keypad entries are ignored during the time interval stated above.
• A copy of the program downloaded may be printed using the IBM PC-compatible computer’s internal report
generator, when an optional printer is connected (consult your PC manual for proper printer and connections).
• Program upload or download time is approximately one minute, fifteen seconds for a complete program.

System Operation
Security Codes
Installer Code
The installer programs the 4-digit Installer Code initially as part of the programming procedure. The factory default Installer
Code is 4-1-1-2, but may be changed in field *20.
The Installer Code is the only code that can enter Programming mode and also, in normal operation mode, is used to enter the
Master Code, which allows access to the normal functions of the system.
Master Code
In normal operation mode, the Installer Code is used to enter the 4-digit Master Security Code.
To enter/change the Master code by installer, using the keypad enter:
Installer Code + [CODE key] + [02] + desired 4-digit Master Code
To change the Master code by master, using the keypad enter:
Current Master Code + [CODE key] + [02] + new Master Code + new Master Code again
Secondary User Codes
In normal operation mode, the Master Security Code can be used to assign up to 6 secondary 4-digit security codes, including
a Babysitter Code and a Duress Code. The Master Code can also be used to remove secondary codes from the system
(individually).
To assign (or change) a secondary security code, using the keypad enter:
Master Code + [CODE key] + User # (03–08) + desired Secondary Code
The system will emit a single beep when each secondary code has been successfully entered.
To delete a secondary security code, using the keypad enter:
Master Code + [CODE key] + User # (03–08)
•
•
•
•
•
•

Security Code Notes
The Master and Secondary security codes permit access to the system for arming, disarming, etc.
The Installer Code can disarm the system only if it was used to arm it. In addition, the Installer Code cannot disarm the
system if it was armed by pressing and holding a Quick-Arm button.
The Babysitter Code (User Code No. 7) can disarm the system only if it was used to arm it. In addition, the Babysitter
Code cannot disarm the system if it was armed by pressing and holding a Quick-Arm button.
Duress code (User Code No. 8) sends a special code to the monitoring station when used to perform any system
operation.. Instruct users to be careful not to use this code for normal usage.
If a secondary code is inadvertently repeated for different users, the lower user number will take priority.
Opening/closing reports are sent for the Installer Code as No. 01, with the appropriate subscriber number. Master Code
and set of secondary user codes are sent as Nos. 02 and 03–08, respectively, in Contact ID® format (with the appropriate
user number); in 4+2, it is 1–8. Quick arming (and open/close executed by downloader) is reported as user 00.

Panic Keys
There are three panic key pairs that, if programmed, can be used to manually initiate alarms and send a report to the central
station.
Each can be individually programmed for 24-hour silent, audible, personal or fire emergency responses. The panic function is
activated when both keys of the appropriate key pair are pressed at the same time.
The panic functions are identified by the system as follows:
Keys

Displayed as Zone

[1] & [*]

[*] & [#]

[3] & [#]

Important: For the silent panic functions to
be of practical value, the system must be
connected to a central station.

System Operation
Keypad Functions
The keypad allows the user to arm and disarm the system, and perform other system functions, such as bypassing zones.
Zone and system conditions (alarm, trouble, bypass) are displayed in the display window. When an alarm occurs, keypad
sounding and external sounding will occur, and the zone(s) in alarm will be displayed on the keypad. Pressing any key will
silence the keypad sounder for 10 seconds (only once). Disarming the system will silence both keypad and external sounders.
When the system is disarmed, any zones that were in an alarm condition during the armed period will be displayed (memory
of alarm). To clear this display, simply repeat the disarm sequence (enter the security code and press the OFF key). The
keypad also features chime annunciation, and 3 panic key pairs for silent, audible, fire or personal emergency alarms. These
keys can notify the central station of an alarm condition, if that service is connected. A summary of system functions is
provided below for more detailed information refer to the User's Manual.

Alarm audio verification cannot be used for UL installations.

Alarm Audio Verification (Two-Way Voice Feature)
This feature allows the central station operator to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with an individual(s) at
the premises. It also assists the operator in gathering information about the nature and location of the alarm that may be
helpful in responding to police and fire departments. All ReadyGuard-R Series control panels are capable of supporting the
Two-Way Voice feature, however only the ReadyGuard-REN has this feature built in. The ReadyGuard-R requires the
installation of the Audio Verification Module (LYNX-AVM). For further information regarding the ReadyGuard-R Two
Way Voice Feature refer to the LYNX-AVM Installation and Setup Guide. The ReadyGuard-REN does not make system
announcements when the Two-Way voice feature is active.
Activation
The ReadyGuard-REN sends the "alarm message" followed by a "Listen-in-to-Follow message" (Contact ID code 606) to the
Central Station. The Listen-in-to-Follow message causes the Central Station's digital receiver to temporarily hold the phone
line for approximately 1-minute. When the ReadyGuard-REN receives the "kissoff" from the central station, indicating that
the alarm message has been received, the Two-Way Voice (AVM) feature is activated in the (default) “Listen Mode” and
sirens and keypad sounds are discontinued. The ReadyGuard-REN transmits a beep acknowledgment to the Central Station,
once per second. The beep alternates between two tones and indicates that the ReadyGuard-REN is waiting for a session
command from the Central Station operator. Once a command is issued the beep acknowledgement is discontinued,
however, if a command is not issued within two minutes the system will “time out” and the call will be terminated.
Operator Commands
The Central Station operator begins the session, which last 5 minutes, by entering one of the valid AVM commands shown in
the table below. The session may be extended 5 minutes, without changing the operating mode, by pressing the [7] key on the
touch-tone phone. Selecting another operating mode also resets the session an additional 5 minutes. During the last minute
of the 5 minute, session, the ReadyGuard-REN generates two beeps every 30 seconds to alert the Central Station operator
that the session is about to time out. The Central Station operator may then extend the session by pressing the [7] key on the
touch-tone phone. If the session is not extended the phone line is disconnected, and the session is ended. Sessions may be
ended at any time by pressing the [9] key on the touch-tone phone. The AVM modes are described as follows:
Note: When entering AVM commands make sure the Central Station receiver has been disconnected from the phone line,
otherwise AVM commands may not go through.
Key
1

Function
Talk Mode: Pressing the [1] key on the touch tone phone, enables one-way voice communication from the central station to the
violated premises, and allows the operator to talk communicate through the ReadyGuard-REN speaker. In this mode the
ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs blink alternately.

VOX (Voice) Mode: Pressing the [2] key on the touch-tone phone, enables two-way voice communications between the central
station and the violated premises. In this mode the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs blink alternately.

Listen Mode: Pressing the [3] key on the touch-tone phone, enables one-way audio from the violated premises to the central
station. The Listen Mode is the start up default mode of the voice feature and allows the operator to listen through the ReadyGuardREN microphone. This mode does not affect the existing LED pattern.

Extends the session 5 minutes without changing its operating mode.

Ends the session and disconnects the phone line.

System Operation
Powerline Carrier Devices (e.g. X-10 devices)
If Powerline Carrier Devices are used, two keypad entries available to the user are included. They can manually activate or
deactivate the device(s) for starting or stopping some action, such as turning lights on or off, etc.
These keypad entries are:
Security Code* + [#] + [4] + Device # activates (starts) that device.
Security Code* + [#] + [7] + Device # de-activates (stops) that device.
* Code is required for devices 7 and 8. Code is not required for devices 1-6.

Exit Error Alarm Displays
If programmed:
• A display of "CA" and a zone indication will appear if an exit or interior zone contained a fault during closing at the
time the exit delay ended (e.g., exit door left open), but the system was disarmed during the entry delay time. The
alarm sounder and keypad sound continuously, but stop when the system is disarmed. No message will be transmitted to
the central station.
• A display of "EA" and a zone indication will appear if an exit or interior zone contained a fault during closing at the
time the exit delay ended, but the system was NOT disarmed during the entry delay time. The alarm sounder and
keypad sound continuously until the system is disarmed (or timeout occurs). An Exit Alarm message is sent to the central
station.
• The "EA" display, etc. will also result if an alarm from an exit or interior zone occurs within two minutes after the end of
an exit delay.
In any of the above cases, use a second OFF sequence (code plus OFF key) to clear the display.

Trouble Conditions
The word "FAULT" on the keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid "beeping" at the keypad, indicates that there is a trouble
condition in the system. Pressing any key can silence the audible warning sound. Instruct users to call for service
immediately upon seeing any of the following messages.
"Fault" and "Battery" Displays
• A display of "FAULT" and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem exists with the displayed zone(s) and
requires attention.
After correcting the problem, the display can be cleared by entering the security code plus the OFF key twice.
• The fault condition may also be caused by some change in the environment that prevents the built-in receiver from
receiving signals from a particular wireless sensor.
• A display of "LOW BAT" with no zone number indicates that the system's backup battery is weak.
• A display of "LOW BAT" with a zone number and a once-per-45 seconds "beeping" at the keypad indicates that a
low battery condition exists in the wireless sensor displayed (zone "00" indicates a wireless button/keypad). If the battery is
not replaced within 30 days, a “FAULT” display may occur.
Power Failure
• If there is no display at all, and both indicators are not lit, operating power for the system has stopped and the system is
inoperative.
• If the display is lit and the AC display is off, the system is operating on battery power only.
• During an AC power loss, the backlighting will turn off and the indicators will flicker slightly to minimize deep discharge
of the battery.
Other Displays
dI = Busy-Standby: Displayed upon power-up. After approximately 1 minute* the green “READY” LED should light. If
the “dI” remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is disabled.
* To bypass the 1-minute delay, press [#] + [0]. Important: Do not try to bypass 1 minute delay before “dI” is displayed!
CC = Modem Comm: The system is communicating with the central station for change of function or status verification.
FC = Comm. Failure: A communication failure has occurred. This message clears only when the system is subsequently
armed.
90 = RF Jam: The system has detected an RF jamming condition or excessive interference.
PH = Speaker Phone Mode: The system is in Speaker Phone mode.
PC = Phone Control: The remote Phone Control feature is active.

–44–

Testing the System
Test Mode
After installation is completed, the security system should be carefully tested, as follows.
1.

With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If the READY LED is not lit, press the
[*] key to display the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted zone(s) if necessary, so that READY LED lights. Fault
and restore every sensor individually to assure that it is being monitored by the system.
Enter the security code and press the TEST key. The outside sounder will sound for 1 second and all the LED
segments on the keypad display light for 3 seconds. LYNX announces the zone’s voice descriptor (if
programmed) followed by 3 beeps, each time a contact is faulted. A test report should be transmitted (if
programmed) to the central station immediately. If the backup battery is discharged or missing, the sounder
may not turn on and a LOW BATTERY report will be transmitted with a TEST report. The keypad will beep
once every 45 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the Test mode.
To turn off the Test mode enter security code and press the OFF key.

Notes: (1) Triggering a zone set to Arm AWAY, Arm STAY, or Disarm will take the system out of Test and cause that action.
(2) BR type transmitters do not display during Test mode (keypad beeps only)
(3) Macros cannot be run from the Test mode.

Armed System Test
Alarm messages will be sent to the central station during the following tests 1 and 2. Notify them in advance
that tests will be in progress.
1.

Arm the system and fault one or more zones. After 15 seconds (if optional dialer delay is selected), silence
alarm sounder(s) by entering the code and pressing OFF. Check entry/exit delay zones.

Check the keypad-initiated alarms that are in the system by pressing the Panic key pairs. If the system has been
programmed for audible emergency, the keypad will emit a steady alarm sound, and “ALARM” and zone
number will be displayed. Silence the alarm by entering the security code and pressing OFF.
If the system has been programmed for silent emergency, there will be no audible alarms or displays, but a
report will be sent to the central station.

If Powerline Carrier Devices have been installed, test their programmed action.

Notify the central station when all tests are finished, and verify results with them.

To test the wireless part of the system and the RF receiver, perform the two additional tests described in the
Installing Wireless Zones section: Sniffer mode and Go/No Go Test.

Note:

System Test mode (installer/master code + test) and Go/No Go Test (installer code + # + 8) will be
automatically terminated after 3-1/2 to 4 hours if the installer or user does not manually terminate it.
This ensures that fire and panic zones will not remain disabled. However, Sniffer mode (installer code
+ # + 3) does not automatically expire. You must manually exit (Installer/User Code + OFF)
Sniffer mode to return to normal operation.

TO THE INSTALLER
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the user are
vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance program
to the user as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the alarm system
and its component parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific program of frequent testing (at
least weekly) to ensure the system's proper operation at all times.

System Communication
This section provides an explanation of formats this system accommodates for reporting alarms and other system
conditions to the central station. The process of a successful transmission consists of both the method of
communication between the control panel and the central station receiver, and the actual way the information is sent
and displayed at the central station.

Communication Overview
When the panel calls the central station receiver, it waits to hear a “handshake” frequency from the receiver to
confirm that the receiver is on-line and ready to receive its message. Once the panel hears the handshake it is
programmed to listen for, it sends its message. The panel then waits for a “kissoff” frequency from the receiver
acknowledging that the message was received and understood.
If the handshake frequency is not given or is not understood by the panel, the panel will not send its message. Once
the handshake frequency is received and understood by the panel, the panel will send its message. If there is an
error in the transmission (the receiver does not receive a “valid” message), the kissoff frequency will not be given by
the central station receiver.
The panel will make eight attempts to the primary telephone number and eight attempts to the secondary telephone
number (if programmed) to get a valid message through. If the panel is not successful after its numerous attempts,
the keypad will display “FC.” If the secondary number is a pager, “FC” displays after the first 8 attempts to the
primary number.
The following chart defines the three sets of (handshake/kissoff) frequencies that the panel supports, and the different
formats that can be sent for each.

WARNING
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this System is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency.
Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons. For example:
•
Intrusion detectors (e.g., passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power.
Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices
powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.
•
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path
has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
•
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
•
While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, 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 as follows.
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. Finally, 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 on
the nature of the fire and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient
warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
•
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual.
Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can
only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls,
ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any
material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense
changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F
(32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease.
•
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 are located 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 by
noise 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.
•
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring 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.
•
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long
as 20 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. This alarm system
should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. The security keypad (and remote keypad) should be
tested as well.
Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity of
batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External
factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given
installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to
maintain protection for that given point within the system.
Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but 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.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn
about these developments.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
Pittway Corporation, and its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates ("Seller"), 165 Eileen Way, Syosset, New York 11791, warrants its
security equipment (the "product") to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from date of original purchase, under
normal use and service. Seller's obligation is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for parts, labor, or transportation,
any product proven to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no obligation under this
warranty or otherwise if the product is altered or improperly repaired or serviced by anyone other than the Seller. In case of defect, contact
the security professional who installed and maintains your security equipment or the Seller for product repair.
This one year Limited Warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties, obligations or liabilities. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS
WARRANTIES, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR
LIABILITIES MADE BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A
PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN 12
MONTHS FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. IN NO CASE SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, OR UPON ANY OTHER BASIS OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY
THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Seller does not represent that the product may not be compromised or circumvented; that the product will prevent any personal injury or
property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the product will in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and maintained alarm may only reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire or other events occurring
without providing an alarm, but it is not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or property
loss as a result. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE
OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL NOT IN ANY CASE
EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT, WHICH SHALL BE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
AGAINST SELLER. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. No
increase or alteration, written or verbal, to this warranty is authorized.
