New Zealand - The following is a list of warnings applicable when this equipment is connected to the New Zealand Telecom Network.
General Warning The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom's network services. Reverse Numbering (decadic signalling) Decadic signalling should not be used as it is being progressively phased out of the network. DTMF dialling is 100% available and it should always be used. Line Grabbing Equipment This equipment is set up to carry out test calls at pre-determined times. Such test calls will interrupt any other calls that may be set up on the line at the same time. The timing set for such test calls should be discussed with the installer. The timing set for test calls from this equipment may be subject to 'drift'. If this proves to be inconvenient and your calls are interrupted, then the problem of timing should be discussed with the equipment installer. The matter should NOT be reported as a fault to Telecom Faults Service. D.C. Line Feed to Other Devices During dialling, this device unit does not provide DC voltage to the series port connection and this may cause loss of memory functions for the terminal devices (local telephone) connected to T-1, R-1.

With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points: Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should remove normal accumulations of dust. DSC recommends replacing the standby batteries every 4-5 years. For other system devices such as smoke detectors, motion detectors, glassbreak detectors or door/ window contacts, consult the manufacturers literature for testing and maintenance instructions if applicable.

General System Operation

Your security system comprises an integrated alarm control/keypad and various sensors and detectors. The system is mounted by the main exit/entry location. The system is self-contained; electronics and standby battery are housed within the keypad unit.

NOTE: Only the installer or service professional should have access to the system.
The security system has several zones of area protection. Each of these zones communicates to a single wireless sensor (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.) or to one or more hard wired sensors. A sensor in alarm is indicated by messages on the LCD keypad. Additional features include: Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for Alarm; Tamper and Trouble signals after 3 occurrences in a given set period; and a Programmable Keypad Lockout option.

NOTE: For SIA CP-01 classified installations, the swinger shutdown feature is programmed such that one or two trips will shut down the zone. The zone will be restored after a manual reset (by entering the access code at the time of disarming the alarm system) or it will be reset automatically after 48 hrs with no trips on any zones.

Controls & Indicators

IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and if included your central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system operations.

Language Selection
Your system can display messages in different languages. 1. Press and hold both keys simultaneously. 2. Using the keys, scroll through the available languages. 3. Press to select your desired language.

Arming & Disarming the System Stay Arming

Stay arming will bypass the interior protection (i.e. motion sensors) and arm the perimeter of the system (i.e. doors and windows). Close all sensors (i.e. stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on. Press and hold the Stay key for 2 seconds and/or enter your Access Code and do not leave the premises. During the setting state (exit delay active), the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will light. When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on. The Armed ( ) indicator and a bypass message will be displayed. The system will automatically bypass certain interior sensors (i.e. motion sensors).

NOTE: For SIA FAR listed panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away Arming Exit Delay. NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm Reduction then the security system will arm in the Stay Armed mode if the exit delay time expires and no exit has been made.

Night Arming
To fully arm the system when it has been armed in Stay Mode, press at the keypad. All interior zones will now be armed except for devices programmed as Night Zones. Night zones are only armed in Away mode, this permits limited movement within the premises when the system is fully armed. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identifying zones programmed as night zones. When the interior zones have been activated (i.e., ) you must enter your access code to disarm the system to gain access to interior areas that have not been programmed as night zones.

Silent Exit Delay

If the system is armed using the Stay key or using the No Entry Arming method ( [access code]), the audible progress annunciation (keypad buzzer) will be silenced and the exit time will be doubled for that exit period only.

Away Arming
Close all sensors (i.e. stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on. To arm, press and hold the Away Key for 2 seconds and/or enter your Access Code, or press to Quick Arm. During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will turn on, and the keypad will sound one beep per second. You now have ____ seconds to leave the premises (please check with your installer to have this time programmed). An audible annunciation, whose pulsating rate is distinctly different, will sound during the last ten seconds of the exit delay to warn person(s) that the exit delay is running out. To cancel the arming sequence, enter your access code. When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the keypad as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on and the keypad will stop sounding.

NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm Reduction then the violation, restoral followed by a second violation of the entry/exit zone before the end of the exit delay will restart the exit delay.

Quick Exit
If the system is armed and you need to exit, use the Quick Exit function to avoid disarming and rearming the system. Press and hold the Quick Exit key for 2 seconds or press . You now have 2 minutes to leave the premises through your exit door. When the door is closed again, the remaining exit time is cancelled.

Bell/Siren Sounds After Away Arming

Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arming the system. In the event that you fail to securely close the Exit/Entry door during the allotted exit delay period, the system will sound the alarm to indicate an improper exit. Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. If this occurs: 1. Re-enter the premises. 2. Enter your [access code] to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay timer expires. 3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, ensure that the entry/exit door(s) are secured.

Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready to arm (i.e. sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all sensors are secure, press and try again.

Disarming
Enter your access code to disarm anytime the system is armed (Armed ( ) indicator is on). The keypad will sound a continuous tone after the entry delay has been initiated by opening the entry/exit door. Enter your code within _____ seconds to avoid an alarm condition (check with your installer to have this time programmed).

Disarming Error
If your code is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound. If this happens, press and try again.

Remote Arming and Disarming

The system can be armed and/or disarmed (if programmed by the installer) using a remote control device (wireless key). When arming the system by using the Arm button on the wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding a single bell squawk and when disarming using the Disarm button on the wireless key the system will acknowledge the command by sounding two bell squawks . Three squawks heard when disarming with the disarm button indicates that that an alarm occurred while the system was armed. If you are unsure of the cause of the alarm, proceed with caution.

Emergency Keys
Press the (F), (A) or (P) key for 2 seconds to generate a Fire, Auxiliary or Panic alarm. The keypad sounder will beep indicating that the alarm input has been accepted and transmission to the central station is underway. The (P) key may or may not sound the bell depending on Installer setup.

NOTE: The Fire keys can be disabled by the installer.

When Alarm Sounds

The system can generate 2 different alarm sounds: Continuous Siren = Intrusion (Burglary Alarm) Temporal / Pulsed Siren = Fire Alarm

Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren

NOTE: If you are unsure of the source of the alarm, proceed with caution! If the alarm was accidental, enter your Access Code to silence the alarm. If the alarm system is disarmed within the programmed Abort Window (check with the installer if this option has been enabled on your system and what is the transmitter delay time programmed), no alarm transmission to the Central Station will occur. Starting at the end of the Abort Window there is a five minute Cancel window, during which a user can cancel, by entering his access code, an alarm that has been previously transmitted. A cancel signal will be transmitted to the Central Station and the alarm system will also annunciate that the cancel signal was transmitted. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.

Fire Alarm Pulsed Siren

Follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately!
If the fire alarm was accidental (i.e. burned toast, bathroom steam, etc.), enter your Access Code to silence the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.

2-Way Audio Operation (SCW9047 only)

If programmed by the installer, this feature allows the monitoring station to initiate a 2-way audio session when an alarm has been received. This feature is used to verify the nature of the alarm or determine the type of assistance required by the occupant.

Guidelines for Locating Smoke Detectors

Research has shown that all hostile fires in homes generate smoke to a greater or lesser extent. Experiments with typical fires in homes indicate that detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. For these reasons, smoke alarms should be installed outside of each sleeping area and on each storey of the home. The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that local fire codes and regulations be consulted when locating and installing smoke alarms. It is recommended that additional smoke alarms beyond those required for minimum protection be installed. Additional areas that should be protected include: the basement; bedrooms, especially where smokers sleep; dining rooms; furnace and utility rooms; and any hallways not protected by the required units. On smooth ceilings, detectors may be spaced 9.1m (30 feet) apart as a guide. Other spacing may be required depending on ceiling height, air movement, the presence of joists, uninsulated ceilings, etc. Consult National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, CAN/ULC-S553-M86 or other appropriate national standards for installation recommendations. Do not locate smoke detectors at the top of peaked or gabled ceilings; the dead air space in these locations may prevent the unit from detecting smoke. Avoid areas with turbulent air flow, such as near doors, fans or windows. Rapid air movement around the detector may prevent smoke from entering the unit. Do not locate detectors in areas of high humidity. Do not locate detectors in areas where the temperature rises above 38oC (100oF) or falls below 5oC (41oF). Smoke detectors should always be installed in accordance with NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm Code. Smoke detectors should always be located in accordance with: Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional storey of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke detector also shall be installed in each sleeping room.Split level arrangement: Smoke detectors are required where shown. Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between living room and recreation room.

Household Fire Safety Audit

Read this section carefully for important information about fire safety. Most fires occur in the home. To minimize this danger, we recommend that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a fire escape plan be developed.
1. Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appliances or household service, have a professional evaluate these units. 2. Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed containers in a well-ventilated cool area? Cleaning with flammable liquids should be avoided. 3. Are fire-hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach of children? 4. Are furnaces and wood-burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order? Have a professional evaluate these appliances.

Fire Escape Planning

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and the time it becomes deadly. It is thus very important that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed. 1. Every family member should participate in developing the escape plan. 2. Study the possible escape routes from each location within the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters. 3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without opening the interior door.

Consider the following when making your escape plans:

Make sure that all border doors and windows are easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut, and that their locking mechanisms operate smoothly. If opening or using the exit is too difficult for children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for rescue should be developed. This includes making sure that those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the fire warning signal. If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder or rope should be provided as well as training in its use. Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors in winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not block exits. Each person should know of a predetermined assembly point where everyone can be accounted for (e.g., across the street or at a neighbors house). Once everyone is out of the building, call the Fire Department. A good plan emphasizes quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department. Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions change, such as the number of people in the home, or if there are changes to the buildings construction. Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests. If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer. We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire prevention officer conduct an inhouse fire safety inspection.

NOTES:

WARNING

Please Read Carefully

Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation. Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbecues, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on. Warning Devices Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person. Telephone Lines If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect. Insufficient Time There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their belongings. Component Failure Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a component. Inadequate Testing Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system. Security and Insurance Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

N o te t o In s ta l l er s This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this system. Sys t e m F a i lu r es This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be: Inadequate Installation A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available. Criminal Knowledge This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected. Access by Intruders Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system. Power Failure Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended. Failure of Replaceable Batteries This systems wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition. Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or other inadvertent radio signal interference. System Users A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm. Smoke Detectors Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building. Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson. Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
