Getting Started To access the Installers Settings menu: 1. From the Home screen, tap the Settings widget. A keypad is displayed. 2. Enter the Installers keypad code. Note: Not the customer’s Master keypad code. A keyboard screen is displayed. 3. Enter your Technician Code and tap Done. 43 Home System Installation Guide The Installer Settings menu is displayed. The following Installer operations are available from the Installer Settings menu: Configure the Entry/Exit delay periods (page 48) Configure the Alarm Transmission delay (page 49) Configure the Swinger Shutdown feature (page 50) Reset the TouchScreen to factory defaults (page 51) Check for new firmware versions (page 52) Manage sensors and zones (page 57) Create cross-zone associations for sensors (page 67) Performing the RMA procedure (page 1) Resetting your managed router (see the TouchScreen User Guide ) Both customers and Installers can test the alarm capabilities, by following the procedure described on page 44. Testing Alarms Installers can test the alarm system without going through the entire activation process. To test alarms (after activation): 1. Call the central monitoring and tell them you are about to test your system. 2. From the Installers Settings widget (see page 43), tap Security ® Alarm Test. 44 Technician Operations The Alarm Test Options screen is displayed. 3. To have your test alarms reported to central monitoring, tap Disabled. The button changes to Enabled. Your test alarms will be sent to central monitoring. Note: If the Enabled button is already displayed, tap Enabled to choose to have your test alarms NOT sent to central monitoring. IMPORTANT: If you enable Send Test Alarm Messages, contact your central monitoring station and tell them you are testing your system. 4. Ensure all the security zones are unfaulted (that is, doors and windows closed, motion detectors not showing motion, etc.). The Alarm Test Checklist is displayed. 45 Home System Installation Guide 5. Ensure all the security zones are unfaulted (that is, doors and windows closed, motion detectors not showing motion, etc.). When the security zones are ready for testing, “Ready to Arm” is displayed under the Arm button. 6. Tap Arm. Your security system is armed in the special Test mode. The Exit Delay is only 10 seconds long. Motion sensors are turned off (not tripping alarms but recording events) until an Entry/Exit security zone is faulted. The Arm button changes to a System Armed notice. 7. Tap Next. The Alarm Test screen is displayed. 8. Open and close an Entry/Exit door. 46 Technician Operations The Entry Delay period starts (default 30 seconds). The TouchScreen begins beeping once per second. The beeping speeds up to twice per second in the last 10 seconds of the Entry Delay period. The motion detectors are turned on. Note: To mute the siren, tap Mute Siren. This is not recommended. Ensuring that your siren is in working order is an important part of the test. After the end of the Entry Delay period ends, the siren sounds (unless you muted it) and the Entry/Exit zone you faulted is marked with an alarm tag. 9. Fault each additional alarm as described in the following table and ensure that it is marked as alarm. Sensor Testing Operations Sensor Testing Process Door/Window Open and close the door or window. Motion Detector Avoid the motion detector’s view for three minutes after arming the system, then walk in front of it. Smoke Detector Press and hold the sensor’s “Test” button until the siren sounds, approx. 10 seconds Glass Break Detector Use a glass break simulator. The TouchScreen notes that each sensor communicated an event to the TouchScreen and initiated an alarm. 47 Home System Installation Guide 10. After all the alarms have been faulted and the system has noted it, tap Disarm. 11. Tap Next. The Review Alarms screen is displayed showing a history of the zones in your system. 12. Review the zone event history. 13. Ensure you have received any configured alerts via email or SMS. 14. If you enabled Send Test Alarm Messages, contact the central monitoring station Test number to ensure that they received all the generated alarms. If all the alarms were received successfully, tell them that you are no longer testing alarms. 15. Tap Next to return to the Settings menu. Configuring the Entry/Exit Delay Periods The Entry Delay period is the amount of time from an Entry/Exit sensor being faulted until an alarm sounds. The customer has until the end of the Entry Delay period to enter a valid keypad code. There is no Entry Delay period for Perimeter type sensors (such as window sensors or non-entry door sensors). There is an audible beeping during the Entry Delay period. This beeping sound is not configurable and cannot be muted. The Exit Delay period is the amount of time that starts when the security system is armed. The customer has this period of time to exit through an Entry/Exit sensor doorway. If the customer does not exit during this period, the system cannot be armed in Arm Away state. The system will arm in Arm Stay state. There is an audible beeping during the Exit Delay (once per second) that speeds up during the last 10 seconds of the Exit Delay (twice per second). The Entry/Exit Delay periods are configurable by an Installer. 48 Technician Operations To configure the Entry/Exit Delay periods: 1.

Save a build image (for example, SMC_P5_19424_ucontrol.upg) to a USB drive in the root directory. 2. Change the filename to ucontrol.upg. 3. Insert the USB drive into the TouchScreen USB port. The TouchScreen displays the following confirmation: A USB drive has been inserted, and a firmware upgrade image has been found on it. Do you wish to upgrade firmware using this image? 4. Tap Upgrade. The Firmware Update process starts. The TouchScreen reboots after it is complete. After reboot, the system displays the confirmation dialog again. 5. Tap Cancel, and remove the USB drive. Enabling Fire Alarm Verification Fire Alarm Verification causes the system to contact central monitoring when one of the following is true: Multiple smoke detectors fault A single smoke detector faults for 60 seconds By default Fire Alarm Verification is disabled: The system immediately sends an alarm to central monitoring when the smoke alarm trips. However, smoke alarms are notorious for tripping in nonemergencies (such as, when food burns on the stove or someone forgets to open the flu before using the fireplace). With the customer’s agreement, this can be avoided using Fire Alarm Verification. 54 Technician Operations To enable or disable Fire Alarm Verification: 1. From the Installer Settings menu, tap Sensors & Zones ® Fire Alarm Settings. The Fire Alarm Settings screen is displayed. 2. Tap Enable to turn Fire Alarm Verification on. Tap Disabled to turn Fire Alarm Verification off. Managing the Physical Devices in the Security System The TouchScreen is designed to work with numerous types of physical devices. A MAXIMUM of six IP cameras and 31 ZigBee devices are supported for the system. ZigBee devices consist of anything that communicate with the TouchScreen over Radio Frequency, such as Door/Window sensors and smoke detectors. IMPORTANT: Once a sensor or peripheral has been paired to a TouchScreen, it MUST be deleted from that TouchScreen before it can be paired to a different TouchScreen. When a sensor is deleted from a TouchScreen, it is automatically reset to factory defaults and is placed in Search mode, ready to be paired with another TouchScreen. It is possible to pair a device to a second TouchScreen without deleting it from the original, but this could result in the paired device not being registered in the server databases. This situation is most often encountered in lab environments where Touchscreens and sensors/peripherals are often swapped back and forth on a regular basis. 55 Home System Installation Guide Device Details Device Device Type Batteries Model Type Management Quantity Instructions TouchScreen Central Controller P5-TS 4 volt Lithium N/A Door/Window Sensor Sensor CR2 3 volt Lithium Page 57 Motion Detector Sensor CR123A Glass Break Detector CR123A Smoke/Heat Detector CR123A 56 Managing Sensors & Zones Managing Sensors & Zones A sensor is a physical device that detects events in the security system, such as a door opening or movement in a room. A security zone is the representation of a sensor that is being monitored by the TouchScreen.

Replace the front cover. Replace all the batteries to the smoke detector and the back cover. Managing Cross-Zone Associations A cross-zone association requires the following for an alarm to be tripped: Two specific sensors are faulted The sensors are faulted in a particular order The sensors are faulted within a set time period 67 Home System Installation Guide For example, you can require that a door be opened and that a motion sensor detect movement in order for an alarm to be tripped. This can be useful way to avoid a pet inadvertently setting off a motion sensor alarm. If a Cross-Zone association needs to be modified, delete it (page 69) and create a new one. Things to Know about cross-zone associations: Neither sensor in a cross-zone association will trip an alarm individually ever, in any situation. The associated zones will not trip an alarm if they are faulted in the wrong order. You cannot associate a single sensor in more than one cross-zone association. IMPORTANT: Do not use a Cross-Zone association for an Entry/Exit security zone. A Cross-Zone association will override the Entry Delay for such exits. To create a cross-zone association for two sensors: 1. From the Installer Settings Menu, tap Sensors & Zones ® Cross Zone Association. The Cross Zone Associations screen is displayed. 2. Tap Add. The Add Cross-Zone Associations screen is displayed. 68 Managing Sensors & Zones 3. Tap a sensor/security zone listed in the First Zone column. 4.

Tap Save to create the cross-zone association. To delete a cross-zone association for two sensors: 1. From the Installer Settings Menu, tap Sensors & Zones ® Cross Zone Association. The Cross Zone Associations screen is displayed listing each cross-zone association. 69 Home System Installation Guide 2. Tap Delete next to a cross-zone association. The cross-zone association is removed. Swapping the Security Network Router This section describes how to replace the security network router with a new one. Also, use this procedure to repair the TouchScreen with the security network router after you have reset the router factory defaults. To replace a TouchScreen with a new one: 1. If Sercomm cameras are installed to the security system, upgrade the camera firmware to version 1.0.07 or later. 2. Delete the cameras from the TouchScreen as described on page 1. 3. Reset the security network router to factory defaults; that is, the router to which the TouchScreen is most directly connected. 4. If you are swapping the current router for a new one, unplug the router and disconnect it from the TouchScreen (if it is connected by Ethernet). 5. Reboot your broadband modem. 6. Reconnect the new router in place of the original. Ensure it is set to factory defaults. Ensure the new router is fully operational with Wi-Fi enabled. 7.

Open the Security widget and check the security zones, door or window might be open System will not Arm User entered an invalid keypad code when attempting to arm the system. Reattempt to enter the security code. Use the Settings widget to add, edit, and delete keypad codes Contact Customer Care. System will not Disarm 76 User entered an invalid keypad code when attempting to disarm the system. Appendix A: General Concepts of the Security System Appendix A: General Concepts of the Security System Arming and Exiting a Premises The Exit Delay period is the amount of time that starts when the security system is armed. The customer has this period of time to exit through an Entry/Exit sensor doorway. If the customer does not exit during this period, the system cannot be armed in Arm Away state. The system will arm in Arm Stay state. There is an audible beeping during the Exit Delay (once per second) that speeds up during the last 10 seconds of the Exit Delay (twice per second). The system audibly beeps once per second announcing that the system is in the Exit Delay period. During the last 10 seconds of the Exit Delay state, the system beeps twice per second. If an entry/exit zone is faulted, restored and then faulted again prior to the end of the exit delay then the Exit Delay is restarted. This only occurs once. If an Entry/Exit door is left open at the end of Exit Delay, the Entry Delay immediately starts and, if the system is not disarmed, an alarm will sound. If no Entry/Exit Zone opens and closes during the Exit Delay, the Arming Mode reverts to Armed Stay. When the system arms, the TouchScreen beeps three times. If the system is armed from the key fob, the peripheral’s LED flashes red once and the holds red for two seconds. Using the key fob, the system can be armed in Arm Away mode and Arm Stay mode. There is still an Exit Delay period that works the same way as when the system is disarmed from the TouchScreen. If an alarm is tripped within two (2) minutes after the expiration of the Exit Delay period, a Recent Closing transmission is sent to Central Monitoring along with the keypad code used to arm the system. IMPORTANT: A Recent Closing transmission is not for alarms tripped by a Smoke Detector. Disarming and Entering a Premises The Entry Delay period is the amount of time from an Entry/Exit sensor being faulted until an alarm sounds. The customer has until the end of the Entry Delay period to enter a valid keypad code. There is no Entry Delay period for Perimeter type sensors (such as window sensors or non-entry door sensors). The TouchScreen audibly beeps once per second announcing that the system is in the Entry Delay period. During the last 10 seconds of the Entry Delay state, the system beeps twice per second. When the system is disarmed from the TouchScreen, it beeps once. If it is disarmed from a key pad, the peripheral’s LED flashes green once and then holds green for two seconds. The Alarm Transmission Delay period (also called the Abort Window) is the length of time after an alarm sounds for the customer to enter a valid keypad code. This period starts when the customer fails to enter his keypad code during the Entry Delay period. The central monitoring station is not contacted until after the Alarm Transmission Delay period. This helps prevent false alarms. During an alarm, the system can be disarmed by entering a valid keypad code in the TouchScreen or a key pad peripheral. As soon as the customer enters a single digit in the keypad screen or on the key pad peripheral, the TouchScreen alarm is temporarily silenced. If the user enters an invalid keypad code, the alarm starts again. If the alarm system is disarmed with a keypad code within the Alarm Transmission Delay period, no alarm transmission shall occur. The persons named on the Contact list can opt to receive SMS and/or email messages notifying them when an alarm was aborted and that central monitoring was not notified. By default, Verify contacts are notified by SMS and email when an alarm is disarmed during the Alarm Transmission Delay period. 77 Home System Installation Guide After the Alarm Transmission Delay period is completed, the customer still has 5 minutes (the Cancel Window) to disarm the system. If the customer does this during the Cancel Window and central monitoring has not contacted her, central monitoring is automatically notified that the customer has cancelled the alarm. The Duress Code The Duress keypad code is used if an intruder forces the customer to disarm her system or access her security settings. Rather than entering her keypad code, she enters the Duress keypad code. When she does this, she is granted full access to her TouchScreen, but a silent alarm is immediately sent to the central monitoring station and police are dispatched. The Duress Code is enabled and configured from the Manage Keypad Codes screen accessible from the Settings Widget. 78 Appendix B: TouchScreen Placement Options Appendix B: TouchScreen Placement Options The TouchScreen can be positioned on a flat surface or mounted to the wall (see page 79). Wherever the TouchScreen is placed, ensure that it is in a location where its sirens and other audible signals can be clearly heard by the occupants. Additionally, the TouchScreen should be located where someone entering the premises can easily access it to disarm it. Positioning the TouchScreen on a Flat Surface The TouchScreen can be positioned on a flat surface. Recommendations: Position the TouchScreen on a flat surface that is not subject to vibrations or wobbles. Ensure the flat surface is not subject to traffic that could topple it or bump the TouchScreen. Position the TouchScreen near an unswitched wall outlet (not controlled by a light switch). Do NOT position the TouchScreen near a cordless phone stand or microwave as these devices could interfere with the communication with the sensors. To install the TouchScreen to be positioned on a flat surface, use the instructions on page 1. Mounting the TouchScreen on the Wall Rather than placing the TouchScreen on a table, desk, or counter, the device can be mounted on the wall using the wall mount. 79 Home System Installation Guide To mount the TouchScreen to the wall: 1. Insert the A/C adapter into the bracket. See Table 2: A/C Power Supply Ratings on page 1 for electrical ratings for the A/C power supply. 2. Remove the center screw from the wall outlet. 3. Plug the TouchScreen’s A/C adapter into the TOP plug of the wall outlet, and replace the center screw through the bracket hole. 4. As shown in Cut a hole in the wall: a. Cut a hole in the wall near an unswitched wall outlet (not controlled by a light switch). Figure 39: Cut a hole in the b. Drill a hole under the cut-out and work the A/C cable into the hole and out of the cut-out/ wall 5. Use the included screws to affix the wall mount to the wall over the cut-out (Affix the wall mount). 80 Appendix B: TouchScreen Placement Options Figure 40: Affix the wall mount 6. Attach the TouchScreen to the wall mount by aligning the wall mount protuberances to the holes in the back of the TouchScreen (Attach the TouchScreen to the wall mount). Figure 41: Attach the TouchScreen to the wall mount 7. After the TouchScreen has been attached to the wall mount, slide it down to secure it in place. 81 Home System Installation Guide Appendix C: General Info for Sensor Placement This section provides placement recommendations for sensors and cameras. Door/Window Sensors Placement Recommendations Install door/window sensors and/or glass break detectors at every possible location of entry, both upstairs and down. Glass Break Detectors For best detector performance, select a mounting location that is: Within 7.6 m (25ft) of the protected glass Within clear view of the protected glass On the same wall as the protected glass At least 2 m (6.5ft) from the floor At least 1 m (3ft) from forced-air ducts At least 1 m (3ft) from sirens or bells greater than 5 cm (2in.) in diameter On a window frame if any heavy window covering is present Avoid mounting the detector in the following locations: In a corner On free standing post or pillars In rooms with noisy equipment such as air compressors, bells/ door bell, and power tools In bathrooms (a slamming toilet seat will easily fault a glass break detector) Motion Detectors When placing motion detectors, anticipate traffic patterns: The lanes of traffic most used by people in your home are also those most likely to be used by intruders Foyers, stairways, hallways, and entrance-ways are excellent locations for a motion detector. Do not place motion detectors at the end of hallways where an intruder will be walking directly toward or away from the detector. For best coverage, mount the motion so that the likely direction of intruder motion is across the motion detector’s pattern. A motion detector facing the following can cause false-alarms or failures in detection: Direct sunlight Cold drafts 82 Appendix C: General Info for Sensor Placement Windows Uninsulated walls Heat sources such as fireplaces and heating vents Moving objects such as fans Air conditioning vents Glass furniture Obstructions such as curtains, plants, large furniture, doors Note: Free roaming pets pose special problems for motion detectors. Your installer has been trained to help you configure your installation to address your specific pet needs. Smoke Detector Installation & Management Recommendations The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends the following for the number and placement of smoke detectors. Place smoke alarms as follows: In every bedroom, in hallways, and on every level of the premises, including the attic and basement. High on a wall or on a ceiling (because smoke rises) If a smoke detector is placed on a ceiling, position at least 4 inches (12 cm) from the wall. Be careful about placing smoke detectors within 20 feet of a cooking appliance. Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan. For maintaining your smoke detector: Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button. Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replace battery right away. Replace all smoke alarms when they are ten years old or sooner if they do not respond properly when tested. Additionally we recommend: Maintain a 3 foot (about 1 meter) distance from air supply & return vents DO NOT install smoke detectors in a garage or near furnaces. Install at least 6 m (20ft) away from kitchens or other areas where combustion particles are present. Install smoke detectors at least 2.5 m (8ft) away from bathrooms. 83 Home System Installation Guide DO NOT install in dirty, dusty, or insect infected areas. DO NOT install near areas fresh air inlets or returns or excessively drafty areas. Heating/ A/C vents, fans, and fresh air intakes can drive smoke away from smoke detectors. Remember that dead air spaces may prevent smoke from reaching a smoke detector. Camera Installation Recommendations Camera views are accessible to TouchScreen users and family members who log into the Subscriber Portal. When placing cameras, consider whether what they a monitoring poses any privacy issues. 84 Appendix D: Installer Quick Reference (SIA) Appendix D: Installer Quick Reference (SIA) Installer Quick Reference [CP-01 4.6.1] Feature Exit Delay Description The time allotted for the customer to exit the premises when the security system is armed Length is doubled for Arm Stay and Arm Night modes up to120 seconds Ranges & Defaults Default: 60 seconds Range: 30 seconds to 99 seconds Exit Delay ProgTouchScreen beeps once per second.
