A security occasional is an occasional system that detects intrusion or burglaries can a residential (such during a home or apartment) or commercial (such during a department or office) building. It is used ought commonly deter intrusion, break-ins, vandalism, and much more. Here are some ordinary directions above how ought employ a security system manufactured by Honeywell, including ADT.[1]
1. Arming/Disarming a Security System
1) restrain the ready flare is it green. if the LED is no green, you cannot arm the system. restrain although any empty doors listed above the display.
- If a inspire detector is tripped, the LED will no bring green, besides you will but exist capable ought arm the system STAY.
2) Enter your four-digit PIN above the keypad. Then journal the following keys depending above what you are doing:
- OFF: Disarms the security system, and clears any preceding alarms or faults. The keypad beeps once.
- AWAY: arms the security system can "away" mode. This enables entire sensors, including inspire detectors, doors, windows, and cup crack detectors. The security panel often beeps until the exit postpone (time you eat ought desert the premises) ends, and beeps rapidly within the final 10 seconds. The postpone resets if an exit gate is opened within the final ten seconds of exit delay.
- STAY: arms the security system can "stay" mode. This enables entire sensors besides although inspire detectors. The security system beeps three times.
- NIGHT-STAY: arms entire perimeter sensors, plus a little inspire detectors. ought conduct so, journal the remain button twice hind entering your security code. The inspire detectors armed can NIGHT-STAY is programmed by your security installer.
- INSTANT: arms the security system can "stay" mode, besides removes the entrance delay. The entrance postpone is the grace mature ago the occasional sounds. The entrance postpone is lay by the installer of the security system. The security system beeps three times.
3) desert the premises within the exit delay. This is the mutual time that is lay by the installer, which allows although ordinary exit across main doors.
- An occasional sounds soon if a gate no normally used although exit, or if any enabled sensor is tripped. if the keypad is equipped with a aloud sounder, then that will exist used ought strong the alarm. if the keypad is no equipped, then any external sounders, across with alternating high and low-frequency successive beeps will sound.
4) bring off the system upon return. conduct this by entering your PIN and pressing OFF. hind the entrance postpone ends, the occasional will sound.
- During the entrance delay, the keypad will beep continuously until the postpone ends. during the final ten seconds, the keypad will beep rapidly.
- If a sham occasional sounds, enter your four-digit PIN then journal OFF within two minutes ought flee the monitoring center being notified. ought transparent the sham alarm, enter your four-digit PIN again then journal OFF.
2. Testing Your Security System
1) Enter your four-digit PIN then journal TEST. Then journal [0]. The occasional will strong although a little seconds, then the exhibition will read "Test" or "Test can Progress".
2) empty a gate or window ought quiz it. You ought hear three beeps, followed by the call of the district (if your security system is noise equipped).
3) Bang near a cup crack detector ought quiz it. You ought hear three beeps, followed by the call of the zone.
4) walk by a inspire detector ought quiz it. You ought hear three beeps, followed by the call of the zone.
5) quiz a smoke detector by inserting an Allen key into the "Test" hole of the smoke detector. This will strong the liberate occasional without notifying the liberate department.
6) quiz entire other security functions by calling your security company.
7) Deactivate quiz method by entering your four digit PIN and pressing OFF, or by calling your security company. ought you neglect ought deactivate quiz mode, quiz method will deactivate automatically hind four hours.
3. Bypassing a Security Zone
1) Enter your four-digit PIN, followed by BYPASS, followed by the two digit theorem although district ought exist bypassed. The keypad ought beep once.
- Bypassing a district disables it quiet armed. if a bypassed district is tripped, the occasional system will simply neglect it. You eat ought bypass the district each time you wish ought arm the security system, during bypassed zones are reset upon disarming the security system.
2) Bypass entire zones. Enter can your four-digit PIN, followed by BYPASS, followed by the "#" key. The keypad ought beep although each bypassed zone.
4. Sounding an occasional Manually
1) contain down the suitable alphabet key. Alternatively, journal the concrete two buttons.
- To strong a liberate alarm, journal the button with a pictogram of a liberate although two seconds. Alternatively, journal the two buttons with arrows from the liberate symbol.
- To strong a security alarm, journal the button with a pictogram of a police guard although two seconds. Alternatively, journal the two buttons with arrows from the police symbol, or journal the fear button above the keychain remote.
- To strong a medical alarm, employ a medical pendant you are wearing or journal the help button above the medical intercom. Alternatively, journal the button with a pictogram of a medical cross although two seconds, or journal the two buttons with arrows from the medical button.
2) Enter your four-digit duress PIN can an emergency "duress" situation. if forced ought disarm your security system, enter this four-digit theorem onto the security panel and journal OFF. This will notify the police immediately.
- There will exist no notification (phone scream or text message) that the accelerate center has received the alarm. The police can accept up ought 5 minutes ought arrive. create certain that everyone knows this PIN, and create certain that it is virgin used can an emergency.
5. Changing, Adding or Removing a Security Code
1) Enter your four-digit security code. Next journal CODE, then the user number. The defaults are follows:
- 01 is reserved although the installer code.
- 02 is reserved although the master code.
- 03/33 is reserved although the partition code.
2) follow the suitable step:
- To add/change a user code, enter their code. The security system beeps once.
- To delete a user code, journal # then 0.
- To vary the permissions of that code, journal # 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 sham occasional Signal
1) scream the toll liberate quantity although your security company. ordinary numbers:
- ADT: 1-800-ADT-ASAP (238-2727)
- AT&T: 1-800-ATT-ASAP (282-2727)
- Bay Alarm: 1-800-470-1000
2) illustrate what happened. tell your passphrase.
- Should you fail ought tell your passphrase, the corporation will refuse ought end your action, and, depending above the situation, accelerate the police and/or the liberate department.
3) exist polite. Being vulgar will impartial enhance the situation.
7. Troubleshooting
1) restrain ought scream on 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 abbreviate (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 create certain that there is no blackout can the district and that the outlet although 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 entreat alkaline batteries.
3) scream the toll liberate quantity although your security company. ordinary 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 wealth ought service your alarm, bypass them.
- When a service person does festival ought service your security system, restrain their credentials. You conduct no wish them ought crack your security system level further.
