A security frightem is an frightem system that detects intrusion or burglaries at a residential (such though a building or apartment) or commercial (such though a department or office) building. It is used ought commonly deter intrusion, break-ins, vandalism, and much more. Here are some normal directions above how ought use a security system manufactured by Honeywell, including ADT.[1]
1. Arming/Disarming a Security System
1) restrain the ready flash is it green. if the LED is no green, you cannot arm the system. restrain though any blank doors listed above the display.
- If a touch detector is tripped, the LED will no grow green, besides you will nevertheless exist able ought arm the system STAY.
2) Enter your four-digit PIN above the keypad. Then periodical the following keys depending above what you are doing:
- OFF: Disarms the security system, and clears any previous alarms or faults. The keypad beeps once.
- AWAY: wepon the security system at "away" mode. This enables total sensors, including touch detectors, doors, windows, and cup pause detectors. The security panel often beeps until the exit defer (time you eat ought forsake the premises) ends, and beeps rapidly within the final 10 seconds. The defer resets if an exit gate is opened within the final ten seconds of exit delay.
- STAY: wepon the security system at "stay" mode. This enables total sensors cabin though touch detectors. The security system beeps three times.
- NIGHT-STAY: wepon total perimeter sensors, plus a little touch detectors. ought conduct so, periodical the remain button twice after entering your security code. The touch detectors armed at NIGHT-STAY is programmed by your security installer.
- INSTANT: wepon the security system at "stay" mode, besides removes the admittance delay. The admittance defer is the grace epoch ago the frightem sounds. The admittance defer is lay by the installer of the security system. The security system beeps three times.
3) forsake the premises within the exit delay. This is the usual time that is lay by the installer, which allows though normal exit across principal doors.
- An frightem sounds shortly if a gate no normally used though exit, or if any enabled sensor is tripped. if the keypad is equipped with a aloud sounder, then that will exist used ought tough the alarm. if the keypad is no equipped, then any external sounders, across with alternating high and low-frequency continual beeps will sound.
4) grow off the system upon return. conduct this by entering your PIN and pressing OFF. after the admittance defer ends, the frightem will sound.
- During the admittance delay, the keypad will beep continuously until the defer ends. during the final ten seconds, the keypad will beep rapidly.
- If a artificial frightem sounds, enter your four-digit PIN then periodical OFF within two minutes ought make away the monitoring center being notified. ought transparent the artificial alarm, enter your four-digit PIN again then periodical OFF.
2. Testing Your Security System
1) Enter your four-digit PIN then periodical TEST. Then periodical [0]. The frightem will tough though a little seconds, then the show will read "Test" or "Test at Progress".
2) blank a gate or window ought examination it. You ought hear three beeps, followed by the call of the district (if your security system is sound equipped).
3) Bang near a cup pause detector ought examination it. You ought hear three beeps, followed by the call of the zone.
4) stride by a touch detector ought examination it. You ought hear three beeps, followed by the call of the zone.
5) examination a smoke detector by inserting an Allen key into the "Test" hole of the smoke detector. This will tough the liberate frightem without notifying the liberate department.
6) examination total other security functions by calling your security company.
7) Deactivate examination path by entering your four digit PIN and pressing OFF, or by calling your security company. ought you omit ought deactivate examination mode, examination path will deactivate automatically after four hours.
3. Bypassing a Security Zone
1) Enter your four-digit PIN, followed by BYPASS, followed by the two digit constitution though district ought exist bypassed. The keypad ought beep once.
- Bypassing a district disables it however armed. if a bypassed district is tripped, the frightem system will simply neglect it. You eat ought bypass the district each time you wish ought arm the security system, though bypassed zones are reset upon disarming the security system.
2) Bypass total zones. Enter at your four-digit PIN, followed by BYPASS, followed by the "#" key. The keypad ought beep though each bypassed zone.
4. Sounding an frightem Manually
1) contain down the proper correspondence key. Alternatively, periodical the concrete two buttons.
- To tough a liberate alarm, periodical the button with a pictogram of a liberate though two seconds. Alternatively, periodical the two buttons with arrows from the liberate symbol.
- To tough a security alarm, periodical the button with a pictogram of a police protect though two seconds. Alternatively, periodical the two buttons with arrows from the police symbol, or periodical the fright button above the keychain remote.
- To tough a medical alarm, use a medical pendant you are wearing or periodical the help button above the medical intercom. Alternatively, periodical the button with a pictogram of a medical cross though two seconds, or periodical the two buttons with arrows from the medical button.
2) Enter your four-digit duress PIN at an emergency "duress" situation. if forced ought disarm your security system, enter this four-digit constitution onto the security panel and periodical OFF. This will notify the police immediately.
- There will exist no notification (phone shriek or text message) that the haste center has received the alarm. The police can accept up ought 5 minutes ought arrive. fabricate certain that everyone knows this PIN, and fabricate certain that it is only used at an emergency.
5. Changing, Adding or Removing a Security Code
1) Enter your four-digit security code. Next periodical CODE, then the user number. The defaults are follows:
- 01 is reserved though the installer code.
- 02 is reserved though the master code.
- 03/33 is reserved though the partition code.
2) track the proper step:
- To add/change a user code, enter their code. The security system beeps once.
- To delete a user code, periodical # then 0.
- To change the permissions of that code, periodical # then 1 then any of the following: 0 is arm only. 1 is guest. 2 is duress code. 3 is master code.
6. Clearing a artificial frightem Signal
1) shriek the toll free amount though your security company. normal numbers:
- ADT: 1-800-ADT-ASAP (238-2727)
- AT&T: 1-800-ATT-ASAP (282-2727)
- Bay Alarm: 1-800-470-1000
2) clarify what happened. talk your passphrase.
- Should you fail ought talk your passphrase, the corporation will decline ought finish your action, and, depending above the situation, haste the police and/or the liberate department.
3) exist polite. Being vulgar will just heighten the situation.
7. Troubleshooting
1) restrain ought observe if the sensor is within mountain of the RF receiver and charged (if the sensor is wireless) or if the wires ought the sensor are no chop (if the sensor is wired).
2) restrain that the security system is receiving power. if your security system is displaying "NO AC" or "AC LOSS" above the screen, then fabricate certain that there is no blackout at the district and that the outlet though the security system is receiving power. if your security system is displaying "LO BAT", then substitute the battery above the security system (if no zones are displayed) or any zones displayed. The security system requires a lead-acid battery, and the sensors demand alkaline batteries.
3) shriek the toll free amount though your security company. normal numbers:
- ADT: 1-800-ADT-ASAP (238-2727)
- AT&T: 1-800-ATT-ASAP (282-2727)
- Bay Alarm: 1-800-470-1000
4) Bypass any faulty zones. Until the security corporation provides you with the indispensable estate ought service your alarm, bypass them.
- When a service person does become ought service your security system, restrain their credentials. You conduct no wish them ought pause your security system flat further.
