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.

Some of your system's operations require you to enter your personal identification number (PIN) on 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).

We subscribe to the recommendations for the number and placement of smoke and/or heat detectors found in the National Fire Protection Association's Standard #72, Chapter 2 (N.F.P.A. Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA

02269). For the best early warning, fire detection devices should be installed in all rooms and areas of the premises. A smoke detector should be installed in each separate sleeping area, in the vicinity of bedrooms. (In new construction, a smoke detector shall be installed in each sleeping room.) Heat or smoke detectors should be installed in living rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached garages.

Every household should establish and regularly practice an escape plan in the event of a fire. The following steps, recommended by the National Fire Protection Association, can be used as a guide in developing your

.

.

own emergency plan.

Plan on your detector or alarm system sounders waking all occupants.

Determine two means of escape from each room, especially the bedrooms, since most fires occur at night when everyone is asleep. One escape path should lead to a door that permits normal exit from the house. The other may be an easily opened window (used if the primary escape path is blocked).

Sketch a floor plan, showing doors, windows, stairs, and rooftops that can be used for escape. Indicate escape routes for each room (see examples below). Post copies of the sketch in each room. Remember to keep all escape routes free from obstruction.

.

.

.

.

Establish a meeting place outdoors, away from the house, where everyone can gather and account for those missing. Choose someone to notify the authorities. Choose someone to ensure that nobody returns to the house. Many die going back inside.

Escape quickly. But don't panic.

Before you open a door, check to see if it's hot. If it is hot, don't open it. Use an alternate escape route. Even if the door is cool, use your shoulder to open it cautiously. Be ready to slam it closed if heat or smoke rushes in.

When moving through a smoky area, stay as close to the floor as possible. Crawl and hold your breath.

Keep all bedroom doors shut while the occupants are asleep.

This will prevent deadly smoke from entering the rooms while you escape.

ALARM

A condition that occurs when the detection devices in a zone are triggered after the system is armed.

ALARM MEMORY

Alarm conditions are stored in memory until cleared.

BYPASS

To take a zone out of the circuit. Bypassing malfunctioning zones allows the rest of the system to be armed. Bypassing interior zones allows freedom of movement inside the premises, while leaving outer zones armed. Bypassed zones are not protected.

CENTRAL STATION

The office that the alarm system calls when there is an alarm.

Signals sent to the central station contain information about the nature of the alarm condition, allowing the dispatcher on duty to appropriately respond.

ENTRY DELAY

The time you have to enter the premises through a designated

DELAY DOOR and disarm the panel (before an alarm occurs). The delay time is programmable from 10 seconds to 150 seconds.

[NOTE: if this option is programmed for Long Delay, the delay will be doubled (from 20 to 300 seconds).]

EXIT DELAY

Once the system is armed, the time you have to exit the premises through a DELAY DOOR (before an alarm occurs). The delay time is programmable from 10 seconds to 150 seconds.

F A U L T

A trouble condition that occurs when the detection devices in a zone are violated or malfunctioning while the system is disarmed.

GRADE "A"

System that provides supervision of the transmitter or initiating devices (i.e., detection devices and wiring).

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN)

The combination used to arm and disarm the control panel, and to access any of the special functions that require a combination.

(With System 236/236i, the PIN number must be four digits long.)

ZONE

One of the protected areas in your premises.

24-HOUR ZONE

A zone that is always active, whether the system itself is armed or disarmed. FIRE, POLICE, and EMERGENCY zones are usually

24-hour zones. Alarm conditions on these zones are cleared by entering a valid PIN number.

THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR ALARM SYSTEM

.

.

.

.

.

.

While your alarm system is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire. Any alarm system,

.

whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:

Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.

Intrusion detectors, smoke detectors, and many other detection devices will not operate without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if their AC power supply is off for any reason and their back-up batteries are missing, dead, or improperly installed.

Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly closed doors. If warning devices are on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms.

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service, and are subject to compromise by sophisticated means of attack.

Smoke detectors used in conjunction with the alarm system may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of the residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn you about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards, like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, arson, etc.

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. Your alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all detection devices are operating properly. Your control panel and keypads should be tested as well.

Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.

Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to insure their lives and property.

4 4

As required by UL Standard 1023, your alarm system is a Grade "A" system

(see definition on page 43).

Alarm system malfunctions and failures are caused most often by

INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE.

Your alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure that all detection devices are working properly. In addition, if your system is being monitored, you should periodically test its ability to transmit signals to our central station.

These tests should be performed weekly:

.

LOCAL SYSTEM TEST: Enter PIN (if required), then * 6 0

.

CENTRAL STATION TEST: Enter PIN (if required), then * 6 1

.

BELL/SIREN TEST: Enter PIN (if required), then * 6 3

.

STANDBY BATTERY TEST * 6 4

Refer to pages 35 through 37 for more information on test procedures.
