System Orientation
The keypad for your Z950 security system is ıllustrated in FIGURE 1-1 on Page
1-2.
The keypad is the most important and most used component in your security sys-
tem. It is important that you carefully review the information presented on Pages
1-1 and 1-2, and become familiar with all features and functions of your keypad.
The primary components of the keypad are as follows:
Numeric User keys, Reset (*) key, and Bypass (#) key
The numeric User keys are used to enter your user code when arming or dis-
arming the security system. They are also used in programming the security
system.
The Reset (*) key is used to silence the keypad sounder or exit audible test
mode. It cannot reset the alarm or cancel the reporting of an alarm. See Page
1-12.
The Bypass (#) key is used to bypass selected zones in your security system.
See Page 1-10.
Ready Status Indicator
The Ready Status Indicator (green), when illuminated, indicates that your
security system is ready to be armed. If the indicator is not illuminated, one
or more protection zones are not ready (faulted) for arming.
Armed Status Indicator
The Armed Status Indicator (red), when illuminated, indicates that your se-
curity system is armed. If the indicator is not illuminated, your system is dis-
armed. If the indicator is blinking, the system has delayed arming to enable
you time to leave the building. After a pre-programmed exit delay time, the
system will fully arm. During the last 10 seconds of exit delay, the beep accel-
erates to fast beep. warning that arming ts about to occur.
Panic Keys

Arming The System Prior To Leaving
Before your security system can be armed, all of the intrusion zones must be se-
cure as indicated by the green READY indicator. If the READY indicator 1s off,
one or more zones are faulted. The indicator(s) corresponding to the faulted
zone(s) will light. Determine the areas of protection which are assigned to each
of the zones, then check the appropriate doors and windows to see that they are
closed.
1. Verify that the READY indicator is on.
2. Enter your User Code.
3. The keypad will begin beeping and the red ARMED indicator will
blink to indicate that arming will take place after the exit time expires.
(The ARMED indicator will light steady after the system arms).
4. Leave the building immediately.
The control is programmed with an exit delay time which allows a specific amount
of time to leave through any delay defined intrusion detection zone without
causing an alarm. Be sure that you have been informed on routes to enter and exit
from without causing an alarm. The beeping tone will become more rapid for the
last 10 seconds, warning you that arming is about to occur. If the exit door 1s not
secure during the last 10 seconds of the exit delay, then the exit delay will be
restarted for one full exit delay period. This exit delay restart is only performed
nce.

Operating Your System |
Automatic Interior Off/Delay Off
Your system may have been programmed to automatically turn the interior
zones off if you arm and do not leave the premises before the exit delay
time expires. The entrance delay may also be programmed to automatical-
ly turn off at this time. When the system is disarmed, the interior and delay
will return to their normal on or off state. See your security representative
for details.
Two Digit Arming
Your system may have been programmed with an abbreviated arming fea-
ture. When this feature is enabled, only the first two digits of your User
Code will be required to arm the system and perform other features. Dis-
arming however, will still require the entire code sequence.
System Will Not Arm (READY Light Off
If the READY indicator is off, one or more detection devices such as a door or
window has been left open. The system cannot be armed. One or more of the
ZONE indicators will also be lit indicating the area of protection that is at fault.
If an attempt is made to arm the system with the READY light off, a three second
error tone will be emitted to alert you that the system did not arm.

Disarming Upon Entering The Premises | What To Do If An Alarm Occurs
Whenever an alarm occurs, the ALARM indicator will light, the audible alarm
will sound (if applicable), and the control will communicate with the central sta-
tion (if this option was purchased).
Your system is programmed with one or more entrance delay zones which allow
time to enter the premises without causing an alarm. Each delay door may have
one of two different entry times. Be sure to check with your installer.
If your system has the “Interior Follower” feature enabled, all interior designated WARNING
zones automatically become delay zones whenever you first enter through a delay
zone. This allows you to walk in front of motion detectors on the way to the key-
pad after you enter.

1.5 The Keypad Panic Alarms €
Your system may have been purchased with up to three keypad panic alarms.
These may be used to activate an alarm in the event of a Fire, Hold—up, or other
condition, as programmed by your installer. Each alarm is activated by pressing
the appropriate panic key (located below the numeric keys). Each alarm may be
programmed to report the condition to a central monitoring station. Check with
your security representative to determine the characteristics of your system.
Alarm Activation
Each of the three panic keys (See FIGURE 1-1) can initiate a specific type of
alarm as programmed and labeled by your installer.
To activate an alarm, press the appropriate panic key and hold for three seconds.
The alarm will activate.
Your installer may have programmed the panic zones to ignore momentary key
presses and to activate only by pressing and holding pressed for three seconds (or
pressing at least twice within three seconds). Check with your security representa-
tive for the specific characteristics of your system.
Resetting The Alarm
When an Alarm ts activated, the ALARM indicator will be lit (unless your install-
er has programmed the alarm for silent or no keypad indication).
To reset the alarm, enter your user code. Pressing the Reset (*) key will extinguish
the ALARM tndicator, if lit. (
A history of the last alarm will be stored in the control’s memory and may be
recalled if desired. (See Alarm Memory on page 1-12.)

Chime Mode Operation
The CHIME mode allows audible monitoring of zones while the system is dis-
armed. When the CHIME mode is active, the keypad sounder will beep whenever
a perimeter burglar defined zone (door, window, etc.) indicator is opened.
For example, the CHIME feature will cause the keypad to beep two times whenev-
er the front door has been opened. Many businesses use this type of signal to an-
nounce that a customer has entered. In a residential application, the CHIME is
useful for monitoring opening of doors by children.
The CHIME feature does not annunciate interior zones.
To Turn CHIME On
1. The system must be disarmed.
2. Press the “6” key and hold for three seconds. The keypad will
beep three times to signify that the CHIME has been turned on.
3. The keypad will now beep two times when any burglar zone is
opened.
To Turn CHIME Off
Press the “6” key and hold for three seconds. The keypad will beep two
times to signify that the CHIME has been turned off.
Force Arming (This feature is disabled in U.L. Listed systems)
Your system may be programmed for quick arming even with one or more zones
faulted. In this condition, when an attempt is made to arm the system with faulted
zones (READY light off), the keypad will emit a three second error tone, indicat-
ing that the system refused to arm. If a second attempt to arm is made within eight
seconds after the tone quits, all faulted zones will automatically be bypassed and
the system will Force Arm. Depending upon how your system was programmed
at the time of installation. force armed zones will either be permanently bypassed
until disarming or may return to operation when or if they become operable.

Bypassing Zones (
The Bypass (#) key is used to bypass selected zones in your system. A bypassed
zone will NOT be capable of activating an alarm as it is temporarily removed from
your system. Bypassing (also referred to as shunting) is most commonly used to
allow free movement of an area (zone or group of zones) while arming the rest of
the system or to temporarily remove a zone or zones that require service, allowing
partial use of the system until repaired. When a zone is bypassed, its correspond-
ing Zone indicator will flash to indicate that is has been removed from operation.
It may continue to flash until 30 seconds after the system is armed or it may flash
for entire time that the system is armed. The installer can program how the flash-
ing operates.

( Audible Zone Testing With Bell Test and Dialer Test
Z950 User's Manual
The TEST mode commands the keypad to beep continuously and light the corre-
sponding zone indicator, each time a zone 1s violated. The zone indicator of each
tested zone will remain lighted while each succeeding zone is tested. Testing can
be performed only while the system is disarmed. Testing the system should be
performed in both ELECTRICAL POWER AC ON and STANDBY BATTERY
modes. Your neighbors’ understanding and cooperation is very important. When
you are away from your residence (or commercial business), neighbors play an
important role. Advise them that you have a security system and ask them to
notify the proper authorities if your system is sounding. The burglar alarm typical-
ly has a pulsing bell and a fire alarm has a steady horn sound.
NOTE
A lit zone indicator means that at least one sensor of that
particular zone has been tested. It does not necessarily
mean that all sensors of that zone were tested. It is recom-
mended that you test your system on a weekly basis.
1. The system must be dısarmed.
Determine the area of protection which corresponds to each zone.
3. To simplify testing, all zones should first be secured (READY light
ON). If it is not possible to secure all zones prior to beginning the
walk test mode, please note that the keypad will beep continuously as a
result of the non-secure zones. This will eliminate the advantages of
the audible walk test mode, although the zone indicator lights may still
be relied upon for testing.
4. Press key 8 and hold for three seconds. The keypad will beep three
times to signify entry into the TEST mode.
5. To test the Bell for one second, press the “1” key and the Reset (*) key.
This feature allows you to test the system audible without having a
signal transmitted to the central station. ’
6. To test the dialer, press the “2” key and the Reset (*) key. A dialer test
signal will be performed with the central station (monitored systems
only). The READY light will blink until the test is completed or until
the TEST mode is exited. If the dialer test fails, the keypad will
indicate a trouble condition.
7. Violate a detection zone (open a door, window, etc.). The keypad will
beep continuously and the indicator of the corresponding zone will
light.

9. The interior detection devices will also cause the keypad to beep if
entering those protected areas when testing unless the INTERIOR is
first turned OFF. You may also want to walk test motion detection
devices to check whether the pattern is covering the areas of concern.
10. Begin at step five to test the remaining sensors.
11. Press the Reset (*) key when finished testing.
NOTE
Your system should be regularly tested at least once per
week to insure proper operation. For UL Listed Burglar
systems, the Bell Test should be included as part of the
weekly test. Contact your security representative for com-
plete instructions on regular system maintenance and test-
ing procedures. If the wall mounted transformer which
powers the system is removed for any reason, test the sys-
tem to see if the standby battery is adequately powering
the system. Reconnect the transformer, secure to the wall
plate with the restraining tab machine screw, and test the
system again to assure it is receiving AC power.

2.1 Developing An Evacuation Plan
Preparation and education are of prime importance in the prevention of fire. An
evacuation plan should be established BEFORE a severe situation arises. Your
security system may or may not contain fire detection and notification equipment.
Make sure your security representative fully explains the configuration of your
system. Make sure you fully understand these limitations of your system.
Use the following steps in establishing an evacuation plan:
|. Evaluate all possible escape routes from your home and draw a floor
plan.
2. Select two exit escape routes from each room.
3. Provide escape ladders for rooms above the first floor. Check the lad-
ders to be sure that they will reach the ground.
4, Draw a rough sketch of your escape plan so that everyone is familiar
with it.
5. Practice your escape plan to assure that everybody knows what they
have to do in a severe situation.
6. Establish a meeting place outside where your family is to report.
7. Advise the local fire authority if you have installed a fire alarm system.
Discuss the following will all residents:
1. Familiarity with alarm signals. .
2. Status of bedroom doors.
3. Testing of door during a fire and use of alternate escape routes if HOT

be taken to avoid such potentially dangerous situations as smoking in bed, leaving
children home alone, and cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
The best fire protection is minimizing fire hazards through proper storage of
materials and good housekeeping practices. Careless use of combustible materi-
als and electrical appliances or overloading of electrical outlets are major causes
of fire. Explosive and fast burning materials must be eliminated from the home.
In Case Of Fire
Leave immediately! Do not stop to pack or search for valuables. In heavy smoke,
hold your breath and stay low — crawl if necessary. The clearest.air usually is at
the floor. If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door
knob to see if undue heat is present. If relatively cool, brace your foot against the
bottom of the door with your hip against the middle, and one hand against the top
edge. Open slightly. If there is a rush of hot air, slam the door quickly and latch
it. Unvented fire will build up considerable pressure. Be sure that all the house-
hold realizes this danger.
Use your neighbor’s phone or street fire alarm box. The job of extinguishing nk
fire should be left to the professionals. Too many unforeseen things can occur
when inexperienced people try to extinguish a fire.

Evacuation Plan 2
( Je Prepared
Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm signal.
For your protection, simulate different circumstances (smoke the hall, living
room, etc.). Then have everyone react to the situation. Draw a floor plan and show
two exists from each room. It is important that children be instructed carefully.
Their tendency is to hide in a crisis.
It is imperative that one meeting place outside the home be established. You
should insist that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the
tragedy of someone re-entering the house for a missing member who is actually
safe.
If you have small children and/or invalids residing in your household, you can help
your fire department by placing decals on bedroom windows. Most fire depart-
ments supply the decals.
Become familiar with the distinctive sounds of your Fire alarm and Burglar alarm
signals.

2.3 Fire Protection (
Smoke Detector Location
Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (NFPA) Standard 72.
The following is from NFPA 72: Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each
separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each addi-
tional story of the family living unit including basement and excluding crawl
spaces and unfinished attics (see FIGURE 2-1). In new construction, a smoke
detector also should be installed in each sleeping room. For family living units
with one or more split levels (1.e., adjacent levels with less than one full story sepa-
ration between levels), a smoke detector required by the above shall suffice for
an adjacent lower level, including basements.
EXCEPTION: Where there is an intervening door between one level and the adja-
cent lower level, a smoke detector shall be installed on the lower level.
Ceiling mounted smoke alarms should be located in the center of the room or hall,
not less than 4 inches from any wall. When the detector is mounted on a wall, the
top of the detector should be 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling.
Do not install smoke alarms where normal ambient temperatures are above 100°F
(37.8°C), or below 40°F (4°C).
Also, do not locate smoke detectors in front of air conditioners, heating registers,
or other locations where normal air circulation will keep smoke from entering the
detector.
Heat from a fire rises to the ceiling, spreads out across the ceiling surface and KL
gins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner where the ceiling and wall meet
15 an air space into which heat has difficulty in penetrating. In most fires, this
‘dead’ air space measures about 4 inches (0.1m) along the ceiling from the corner
and 4 inches (0.1m) down the wall (see FIGURE 2-1). Heat or smoke detectors
should not be placed in this ‘dead’ air space. (See FIGURE 2-1 on Page 2-5).
