What your alarm system is...

Your alarm system is made up of a control panel and several detection devices like motion sensors, magnetic contacts, and so on. Specific areas of detection are called zones. Zones can be programmed to have different characteristics. Some zones may be 24-hour zones, that is, they remain armed even when the alarm system is off. Zones used for fire detection, for example, are always 24-hour zones. In addition, some zones can be programmed to allow bypassing. When you bypass a zone, you temporarily remove it from the alarm system. Always remember, however, that bypassed zones are not protected.

How your alarm system works...

When a detection device is triggered, the status of its zone goes from normal to FAULTED. If armed, the control panel responds by reporting an alarm condition on site sounding bells, message on keypad display and if programmed, by transmitting an alarm signal over the telephone wires to a central monitoring station. The monitoring station then dispatches the appropriate authorities.

the keypad. These include ARMING and DISARMING.

Along with its many other features, your system can be programmed to ARM INSTANTLY or to ARM

WITH TIME DELAY (i.e., after giving you time to leave the premises).

4

Each alarm system in the 2300 family is designed to meet the specific needs of a variety of applications. System 236 is specifically designed for smaller, six zone applications.

Systems 238 and 2316 are designed for applications requiring protection of eight and sixteen zones, respectively.

Although these systems do not offer all the same options, your alarm professional has installed the system best suited for your application. Refer to the headings at the top of each page to determine if an option is available on your system.

(If no systems are listed in the page heading, the option is available on all systems.)

Some of the available features of your alarm system are also optional, and will only be installed if appropriate for your installation. In addition, some system features will require you to enter your personal identification number

(PIN).
