Using the TouchScreen
The Technicolor TCA200 TouchScreen is the center of your home security system. This Android-powered
device allows you to perform actions such arming and disarming your security system, monitoring the
status of your security sensors, and sending emergency alarms.
Note: This Quick Start Guide provides an overview of the TouchScreen and its basic operation. This
guide assumes the TouchScreen has been activated and you have been assigned a security
code. For more information, see the TouchScreen User's Guide and the HomeSystem
Installation Guide. The latest versions can be found at

Understanding the Screen
The TouchScreen communicates with your security system. It combines security and home controls on a
graphical interface, providing:
A real-time view of the system statuses
Tools to manage your security system
Additional optional applications such as news and weather
The first screen displayed is the Home screen. It is from this screen that you navigate through menus by
tapping buttons to access the function you desire. If the screen is black (showing nothing) this is because
the system is not receiving A/C power or the display is powered off to conserve battery life.
The screen is divided into the following operational sections:
Security Status Header
System & Zone Trouble Header
Content Area
Security Status Header
The Security Status header displays in the upper left hand of the TouchScreen. It tells you whether the
system is armed or disarmed and other information. Tap this header to arm or disarm the system.
Also, during troubles that would prevent arming (such as a monitored door or window being opened) an
announcement replaces the Arm/Disarm status.
TouchScreen Quick Start Guide

During the Exit Delay, the header changes to announce the number of seconds until the system is armed.
During the Entry Delay, the header changes to announce the number of seconds before the alarm
sounds.
System & Zone Trouble Header
The System & Zone Trouble header displays in the upper right hand of the TouchScreen. It only displays
when there is a connectivity (cellular, broadband, etc.) or power problem with the TouchScreen, when a
sensor goes down (such as due to a battery failure), or a sensor is being tampered with (such as the cover
being opened).
When the system reports a trouble, it sounds an audible alert regularly to ensure that you are aware of
the problem.
When a System & Zone header is displayed, tap it to show the Troubles list which displays all the current
troubles with the TouchScreen and sensors.
Content Area
The Content area contains the interactive functionality of your TouchScreen. The TouchScreen apps
(widgets) are displayed here. When you use or modify an app, this is where the menus and tools are
displayed.
The Home screen is the default interface when the user accesses the TouchScreen screen.It can be
accessed at any time by pressing the button, which is located below the display area.
The TouchScreen provides the following apps:

Select the Security app to view options related to
arming/disarming the system, enabling/disabling security
zones, viewing history logs, and recent security zone
events.
Select the Settings app
to access tools to modify
the TouchScreen con-
figurations.
Understanding Arming Modes
You can arm the system by multiple scenarios:
Arm Away—Everybody leaving
Arm Stay—People are still active inside (see page 6)
Arm Night—Everybody going to bed (see page 7)
Different arming modes utilize different rules for when sensors are tripped and for Entry/Exit delays. An
Exit delay is a short period of time after the system is armed for you to leave the premises (default 60
seconds). An Entry delay is a short period of time after a sensor is tripped at an Entry/Exit door if the
system is armed (default 30 seconds). You must enter a valid keypad code within the Entry delay period
to avoid sounding an alarm. Consult with your installer or Customer Care representative to customize
the Entry/Exit delays on your system.
Note: After the alarm is faulted the Alarm Transmission Delay period starts (see page 9).
In the Armed state and during the Entry Delay period, if the central system loses all connectivity with
your TouchScreen, an alarm is immediately sent to the central monitoring station. This prevents an
intruder from attempting to stop an alarm by destroying the TouchScreen.
Arm Away Mode
The Arm Away mode is used when everyone is leaving the house. The following rules apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit door or window) is opened.
Interior motion detectors are armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed
Arm Stay Mode
The Arm Stay mode is used to arm the system when there are still people in the premises. The following
rules apply:
Alarm trips immediately if a monitored Perimeter zone (non-entry/exit door or window) is opened.
Interior motion detectors not armed.
Entry/Exit zones start an Entry Delay.
Exit Delay starts when the system is armed.
Exit Delay does not beep and is twice the length of Alarm Away mode.

Arm Night Mode
The Arm Night mode, is used when everyone is going to bed.
This mode works the same as Arm Stay except that there is no Entry Delay period. If an entry/exit zone is
opened, an alarm sounds immediately.
Note: There is still an Exit Delay period that works the same as in Arm Stay mode.
Arming and Disarming the System

Special Rules:
If you selected the Arm Away mode, you have until the Exit Delay is over to exit the prem-
ises.
Otherwise, the system is automatically armed in Arm Stay mode. There is still an Exit Delay
period for the other Arming modes as well, but they do not require that the door open and
close during the period.
If you open and shut an Entry/Exit door during the Exit Delay and then re-enter the prem-
ise, the Exit delay restarts at 120 seconds for Arm Stay and Arm Night or 60 seconds for Arm
Away. It will only do this one time. If the wrong code is entered, the countdown timer
resets to 60 or 120 seconds.
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.
Cancelling the Arming Process
If you arm the system in Arm Away or Arm Stay mode, the Security Status header displays a countdown
of the number of seconds until the Exit Delay is over. You can choose to cancel the arming process.
To cancel the arming process:
1. Tap the Security Status header while it is displaying a countdown.
The Security app is displayed with a keypad and the Disarm System tab active.
The Security app is displayed with a keypad and the Arm System tab open.
2. Enter your security code to stop the arming process.
Disarming the System
When you enter an armed premises, an Entry Delay period starts:
During the Entry Delay, the header changes to announce the number of seconds before the alarm
goes off.

The Security app displays a keypad.
The TouchScreen beeps audibly once every second, until the last 10 seconds when it beeps twice a
second.
If a valid keypad code is not entered by the end of the Entry Delay period, an alarm sounds. From the
time an alarm sounds (or starts silently), for most reasons, you have 30 seconds (default) to enter a valid
keypad code to disarm the system and prevent an alarm being sent to the central monitoring station.
This is called the Alarm Transmission delay or the Abort Window.
The Alarm Transmission Delay is a required period that prevents a report to the central station during an
alarm was triggered innocently.
IMPORTANT: Emergency alarms (see page 10) and smoke alarms are reported without an Alarm
Transmission delay or an Entry Delay. Consult Customer Care to understand the
number of seconds configured for the Alarm Transmission Delay in your system.
To disarm the system from the TouchScreen:
1. Tap the Security Status header when it is in Armed state.
The Security app is displayed with a keypad and the Disarm System tab active.
2. Enter your security code.

Evacuation Plan
Develop an emergency evacuation plan for use in the event of fire. Here are some recommendations
from the National Fire Protection Association.
Make an evacuation plan for how to leave your home in the case of fire or other emergency.
Sketch a map of your home that shows all the doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone
in your home so that everyone will know what to do.
Have at least two ways to exit each room. Make sure that windows and doors open easily.
Discuss with your family and agree on a single meeting location outside your home.
In the event of fire, get out and stay out. Don’t go back inside for people, pets or possessions.
Do not open a door if the handle is hot.
If there is smoke stay low to the ground and go under the smoke.
Escape your home before calling the fire department. Call the fire department and police from the
outside meeting place using your cell phone or call from a neighbor’s phone.
Practice your home evacuation plan.
Additional Emergency Preparations
Do not wait until an emergency occurs to make a plan. Talk to each other about what each person
should do in different types of emergency.
Learn your security system. Get to know how to arm and disarm it and what to do when the
authorities or central monitoring calls.
Make sure everyone (who should know) knows the Secret Word, when to use it, and that it
should not be shared.
Understand the difference between your keypad code and the duress code.
Understand that you should never enter the premises if you hear an alarm. Call police from a cell
phone or a neighbor’s phone.
