Fire Safety  
Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most fire related deaths  
occur at night when the occupants suffocate in their sleep from smoke and deadly  
gases, rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, implement the following  
three-step program:  
1. Minimize fire hazards around the home. Smoking in bed,  
cleaning with flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving  
children home alone, and unsafe holiday decorations are some of  
the more common causes of household fire.  
2. Install a fire warning system. The primary purpose of this system  
is to protect lives, not property, by giving the earliest possible  
warning of the danger. In the event of a fire, the alarm system  
generates a loud intermittent tone distinctly different than a  
burglar alarm.  
understand exactly what to do.  
Possible escape routes through open windows marked with arrows.  
Primary and alternate escape routes should be established. Since stairwells and  
hallways can be blocked during a fire, exiting through a bedroom window at  
night should be an essential part of the escape plan. If the sleeping area is above  
the ground floor, provide a means of safe descent outside the building if one does  
not already exist.  
All family members should plan to meet at a predetermined location away from  
the house (such as a neighbors), to verify that all are accounted for.  
In Case of Fire  
In homes with more than one sleeping area a smoke detector  
(indicated by an inverted “s” in a circle) should be provided to  
detect smoke in each area.  
1. The primary purpose of a fire warning system is to protect lives.  
In the event of a fire alarm, quickly leave the building and call  
the fire department from a neighbors or public telephone.  
3. Plan and practice an escape plan. A fire alarm warning is wasted  
unless the family has planned for a quick evacuation. Because  
there is very little time between detection of a fire and the time it  
becomes deadly, it is important that every member of the family  
2. If it is determined the alarm was accidentally tripped, the bell  
should be silenced, the detectors reset, and your alarm company  
notified immediately of the situation.

AC Power Failure  
Introduction  
If your keypad indicates AC power has failed, and you have power in the  
remainder of your premises, there could be a problem with the electrical  
transformer or circuit breaker supplying power to your security control panel.  
First, check to be sure the transformer is securely plugged into the electrical  
outlet. If it appears to be damaged in any way, do not attempt to repair it. Call  
your security company for service.  
Your security system helps to secure life, property, and investments against fire,  
theft, and bodily harm. The keypad is an arming station that offers a variety of  
features. Function, versatility, and ease of operation make the keypad the ideal  
system for the home or office.  
With custom programming, the keypad is tailored to meet your individual needs.  
The Command mode allows you to perform a variety of functions with maximum  
simplicity - only the touch of two or three keys is required to control almost  
every feature on the keypad. Three function keys allow common commands to be  
performed with the touch of just one key.  
Transformer location: _________________________________________  
If the transformer is plugged in, check the circuit breaker supplying power to the  
outlet. If the breaker is tripped, reset it. If it trips again, the overload condition must be  
corrected.  
The keypad puts the control of your security system right at your fingertips.  
Circuit breaker location: _______________________________________  
Maintenance and Service  
The keypad requires very little maintenance; however, the system should be  
tested weekly to detect service needs early. A test schedule and maintenance  
program is arranged with your alarm company. If a change in operation is  
noticed during normal use or testing, call for service as soon as possible. Do not  
attempt to repair the control panel, arming stations, or detectors yourself.  
The D720 Series Keypad  
The keypad is an illuminated digital arming station that is the keypad for your  
entire security system. The keypad does much more than just arm and disarm  
your security system; it can initiate several system commands. A system status  
display panel keeps you informed of security conditions, as well as storing alarm  
information for future reference. It also indicates various security system  
conditions such as your systems armed status, protective point status, power  
supply status, and Command mode status. A built-in sounder alerts you of  
several different conditions, which requires action. The keypad also includes  
three function keys that perform many system commands with the touch of one  
key.

Security System Basics  
What is a Point?  
A point is a detection device, or group of devices connected to your security  
system. Each area of your property is assigned to a specific point with a number.  
A point is a single door (like the entrance door) or an area of your property (like  
the second floor). Each point is represented by its point number on the keypad  
display panel. There are two basic types of points: Controlled and 24-hour.  
Keypad Features  
Armed Status Indicators  
Three lights indicate the armed status of your security system. Each is explained  
below. During an exit delay period, these lights flash on and off slowly.  
Perimeter--When this red indicator is lit, your perimeter points are  
armed. When this indicator is not lit, your system is not  
armed.  
Controlled Points  
Interior -- When this yellow indicator is lit, your interior points are  
armed. When this indicator is not lit, your interior points  
are not armed.  
Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon whether the  
system is turned on (armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled points are  
programmed to respond instantly to alarm conditions or provide a delay for you  
to reach the keypad and disarm the system. There are two types of controlled  
points: Perimeter and Interior.  
Instant-- This red indicator shows how your system is armed; either  
instant or delayed. When this indicator is lit, your security  
system is armed without entry/exit delay time. When the  
system is armed with entry/exit delay, this indicator is not lit.  
1. Perimeter Points: All exterior doors and windows of the building,  
forming the outside “wall of protection” around your building.  
Point Status Indicators  
Point status indicators on the keypad show the condition of your systems  
protective points. Each point has its own indicator that shows three different point  
conditions (listed in order of priority).  
2.  
Interior Points: All interior forms of burglary protection such as  
carpet mats, motion sensors, inside doors, etc..  
24-Hour Points  
24-hour points are always on, even when the burglary system is disarmed (turned off).  
There are two types of 24-hour points: Fire and Non-Fire.  
Point Bypass -- When a point is bypassed (not armed with the rest of the system),  
its indicator light flashes on and off slowly.  
1.  
Fire Points: Exclusively monitor fire detection devices. They are  
always armed and cannot be disarmed. Fire alarms have a unique  
audible warning signal.  
Faulted Point -- A faulted point is indicated by a steadily lit point status indicator.  
Point Alarm Memory -- When a point is faulted into alarm, its indicator flashes  
on and off rapidly.  
2. Non-Fire Points: Always armed and cannot be disarmed.  
The Point Status Indicators also show whether the system is ready to arm or not.  
If the point status indicators are not lit, the system is armed by entering your  
personal passcode or any of the arming commands available to your system. If  
any of the point status indicators are lit, the system has a faulted point. Correcting  
the faulted point usually means closing a door or window.

Power Indicator  
The Keypad  
When the red PWR indicator LED lights steadily, your security system is  
operating from AC voltage and the standby battery is fully charged. When the  
PWR indicator is off, AC or battery power is not present. When flashing slowly, a  
low battery power condition is indicated. When flashing quickly, battery power is  
missing. If the indicator is off or continues to flash, contact your security  
company.  
The keypad has a lighted digital keypad used to enter passcodes and system  
commands into the security system. As you touch the keys to enter a passcode,  
the keypad emits a short beep tone to indicate that your entry is accepted.  
COMMAND Bar  
The [COMMAND] bar is used to perform one- or two-digit COMMAND  
functions.  
Command Mode Indicator  
Note:  
Some systems require a security passcode to be entered after the function keys  
or [COMMAND] bar are pressed. If a passcode is required, the CMD light  
blinks. Enter your passcode when you see this light blinking.  
When the [COMMAND] bar is pressed, the red Command mode indicator  
(CMD) lights steadily to show the system is ready to accept a command. If the  
command requires that a passcode be entered, the CMD indicator slowly blinks,  
prompting you to enter your passcode. Once a passcode is entered, the  
Command mode indicator lights steadily again and remains steadily lit while the  
system is in the command mode. The indicator goes off when the command is  
completed (or after 15 seconds of inactivity).  
Enter (ENT) Key  
When the passcode is completed, press the [ENT] key to activate the passcode. If  
you do not press the [ENT] key, the passcode is ignored by the security system.  
Note:  
If all of the keypads LEDs are blinking in unison, the system requires  
service.  
When entering a passcode or command at the keypad, each key must be pressed  
within 5 seconds of the last key entry. After 5 seconds have expired from the last  
key entry, the entire entry is cleared and the passcode must be started over.  
Exiting the Command Mode  
If you decide to exit the Command mode before completing the chosen function,  
you can exit the command mode at any time by pressing the [A] key. The CMD  
light goes off, confirming that you have left the command mode.

Function Keys  
The keypad has three function keys (labeled A, B, and C). The function keys are  
used to perform system commands with the touch of one key. Your alarm  
technician programs the Function Keys.  
Turning the System Off (Disarming)  
Your security system is turned off by entering your personal passcode and  
pressing [ENT]. When your system is turned on, you must enter the premises  
through a designated entry door to prevent an immediate instant alarm  
condition. Open the door starts an entry delay time and the keypad emits a  
pulsing beep tone to remind you to turn the system off. Enter your personal  
passcode and press [ENT] before the delay time expires and the system turns off.

personal passcode and pressing [ENT]) and call your security company to notify  
them it is not an emergency situation.  
[B]  
[C]  
Note:  
The [A], [B], and [C] keys can perform various functions. These functions  
require a few seconds before they are completed, because the system is  
completing several instructions at once. Therefore, please wait for 5 seconds  
after using the [A], [B], or [C] keys to allow the system to “catch up.”  
Turning the System On (Arming)  
Your security system is turned on (armed) in many different ways, depending on  
the arming command used. Arming commands turn the system on. The most  
basic arming command is to arm the entire system. The simplest way to arm your  
system is to enter your personal passcode and press [ENT] or to use COMMAND  
1.  
There are several other arming commands to turn the system on. For example:  
arm only the perimeter or arm only portions of the perimeter. These arming  
functions and their respective commands are described later in this guide.

Silencing an Alarm  
The audible alarm sounds for a specific period of time before it automatically  
shuts off. If an alarm occurs and you want to silence the bell or siren before the  
time expires, simply enter your personal passcode and press [ENT].  
Reporting to the Central Station  
My system reports to a Central Station.  
My system does not report to a Central Station.  
Your system is programmed to send a closing report to your security company  
when arming.  
After silencing the alarm and returning points to normal, you can clear the alarm  
memory lights by entering your passcode twice (arm and disarm). On some  
systems the alarm memory lights are cleared by entering COMMAND 4.  
My system sends a Closing Report.  
My system does not send a Closing Report.  
Your system is programmed to send an Opening Report to your security  
company when disarming.  
To Silence an alarm:  
Enter your personal passcode and press [ENT].  
My system sends an Opening Report.  
Note:  
Some security systems are programmed so bells or sirens cannot be silenced  
until the point is restored to a normal (non-alarm) condition.  
My system does not send an Opening Report.  
Your system is programmed to report Force Arming to your security company.  
Force Arming is reported to my security company.  
Force Arming is not reported to my security company.  
Your security system automatically disconnects your telephone from its line when  
transmitting reports to your security company. This prevents reports from being  
interrupted during transmission. Once the report is completed, the telephone line  
is restored to normal service.  
Note:  
If damage occurs to the telephone line and your telephone service is  
interrupted, reports are not transmitted to your security company unless an  
alternate means of transmitting signals is installed in your system.

Exit Delay Tone: After you arm your system, the keypad emits a  
repeating beep tone and counts down the exit delay time. If you  
dont exit before the delay time expires, and an exit delay door is  
faulted, entry delay begins.  
Keypad Tones  
Your keypad emits one of several distinct tones to alert you to system events.  
Additional bells or sirens can also be connected to your system. Bells or sirens  
mounted on the exterior of your premises alert neighbors to emergencies and  
provide an audible guide for police and fire fighters. Some of these tones are  
optional, and are selected by your alarm technician.  
5. Keystroke Checking Tones: Pressing any key on the keypad  
sounds a short beep tone. When you press an incorrect key, a flat buzz  
tone sounds to indicate an invalid entry.  
1. Fire Alarms: Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a  
fire point activates, your keypad emits a fast, pulsating,  
high-pitched tone. Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke  
or fire. Ensure all occupants know the difference between the  
burglary tone and the fire tone. The tone sounds for the time set by  
your security company. The keypad point status LEDs show the  
fire points in alarm.  
6.  
Faulted Point: When you enter an arming command, and a point is  
faulted, the sounder is activated for 2 seconds. The point status  
indicator associated with the faulted point is lit.  
7. Watch Tone: When the Watch Mode is activated, the keypad  
emits a brief tone to alert you when any watch point is faulted and the  
point indicator lights to indicate which point is faulted. The tone  
sounds only when the door or window is opened. It does not sound  
again for that point until the door or window is closed and then  
reopened.  
Note:  
Some points, such as fire points, are programmed so the sounder cannot be  
silenced until the point fault is corrected.  
2. Burglary Alarms: Burglary alarms are the second priority. When a  
burglary point activates while your system is armed, your keypad  
emits a pulsating burglary tone. The tone sounds for the time set  
by your security company. The keypad point status LEDs show  
the burglary points in alarm.  
Some system trouble events produce a trouble tone without producing any status light  
indications. These trouble events fall into three categories:  
1.  
Hardware, software, or wiring problems. For example: a keypad was  
unplugged from the control panel or the printer was unplugged.  
Call your security company.  
3. System Trouble Events: When a system component is not  
functioning properly, your keypad is programmed to repeatedly  
emit three warble tones, then a pause. If the problem is with a  
point, the point status light indicates which point is faulted. To  
silence the system trouble tone, enter COMMAND 4 or your  
personal passcode followed by [ENT].  
2. Communication or phone failure. For example: you have phone  
line trouble. Call your security company.  
3. Late to close reminder tone. If your system is programmed to  
send a Closing Report, your keypad sounds the trouble tone to  
remind you that it is time to close. Arm your system to silence the  
tone.  
4. Entry Delay Tone: When you enter the premises through a point  
programmed for entry delay, the keypad emits a repeating tweedle  
tone to remind you to turn off your system.

begin.  
3.  
Press the [5] key and then the [5] key again. Your security system is  
now in the Passcode Change Mode.  
4.  
5.  
Enter the passcode you wish to change and press the [ENT] key.  
Enter the new passcode and press the [ENT] key.  
Before you begin:  
Care should be given when entering a passcode containing the same  
digits in consecutive positions within the new passcode (such as “3”  
in 33467). When entering this type of passcode, it is easy to make  
mistakes.  
6. Enter the new passcode again and press the [ENT] key.  
7. Test the new passcode by using it to arm and disarm the system.  
Do not use any of the keypad arming commands to arm the  
system until you are certain that the new passcode is working.  
The passcode is from three to six digits in length.  
To avoid conflicting with other passcodes and duress codes, your  
system does not let you change to passcodes that are within plus or  
minus two of an existing passcode. For example, if 1234 were an  
existing code, your system would not let you change your code to  
1232, 1233,1235, or 1236.

When initiated, the Fire Test tests the fire bell pattern on the bell output and rings  
the keypad fire bell for 2 seconds. The AC is disabled for 4 minutes to test the  
systems battery power. If the battery cannot maintain the system for the 4-minute  
period, the keypad appears to go dead. If this happens, contact your security  
company. At the end of the 4-minute period, AC returns to the system and the  
control panel restores. A message is be sent to your security company upon  
initiation and completion of the Fire Test. During the Fire Test, no 24-hour alarms  
are sent to your security company.  
5. To end the Fire Test, press any numeric key on the keypad. If no

Bypass a Point  
COMMAND 0  
To use Bypass a Point:  
I have this feature.  
1. Ensure your security system is disarmed.  
I do not have this feature.  
2. Press the [COMMAND] bar. The Command mode indicator light  
comes on.  
This feature requires a passcode.  
The keypad makes it easy for you to have complete control of your security  
system. With Command 0 you can bypass points you do not want included in the  
system. You can bypass points when an area is disarmed. Bypassing a point  
reduces the level of security and should be used with discretion. Points remain  
bypassed until you unbypass them (refer to Unbypass a Point on page 27) or some  
points can return when the area is disarmed.  
3.  
Press the [0] key. The system is now in the Bypass mode. (Some  
points are set by your alarm company so they cannot be  
bypassed).  
4. To bypass a point, press the key that corresponds with the  
number of that point, and then press the [ENT] key. The point  
status light corresponding to the bypassed point flashes,  
indicating the point is bypassed.

Turning the System On With a Duress Passcode  
I have this feature.  
Passcode + 1, or + 2  
The duress passcode is based on your personal passcode. By increasing the last  
digit by one or two, the duress feature is activated. For example; If your personal  
passcode is 1234, the duress passcode is 1235 (or 1236).  
I do not have this feature.  
This feature requires a passcode.  
My system uses Passcode + 1 for duress.  
My system uses Passcode + 2 for duress.  
A duress passcode sends a silent alarm signal to your security company. It arms  
or disarms the security system just like your personal passcode; however, as the  
system is armed or disarmed, an alarm signal is transmitted. Be sure your security  
technician explains how this feature works in your system. There is no alarm tone  
or visual indication at the premises that the report is sent.  
Note:  
If your system has a security passcode that unlocks the [COMMAND] bar,  
increasing the last digit of that passcode sends a duress signal to your  
security company.  
Important!  
Be sure to press the [ENT] key after entering the duress passcode.  
Application  
The duress passcode is used when someone threatens you and demands you  
disarm (or arm) your security system. By disarming (or arming) with a duress  
passcode, your security company is alerted of an alarm situation.  
28  
 
To arm with points faulted:  
Force Arming the System  
I have this feature.  
1. Enter your personal passcode and press the [ENT] key, or enter  
an arming command (COMMANDs 1, 2, or 3). The keypad emits  
a buzz tone indicating a point is faulted.  
I do not have this feature.  
If a protected door or window is open, you can have the option of force arming  
with that point faulted. Faulted points (opened doors or windows) that are force  
armed are not included in the system. The remaining points arm normally.  
2. Press the [COMMAND] bar and then the [ENT] key. The system  
now arms all points that are normal.  
Note:  
If the fault is restored (returned to normal) while arming, the point is  
armed. If the fault is restored after arming, how your system is programmed  
determines whether or not the point is armed with the rest of the system.  
Your system might not offer force arming or it is restricted to specific points.  
Contact your security company for more information.  
A faulted point is armed with the rest of the system if restored.  
A faulted point is not armed with the rest of the system if restored  
and is not be armed until I disarm the security system and re-enter  
an arming command.  
I am allowed to have a maximum of ______ points faulted when force arming.

Passcode - Used to arm or disarm the keypad.  
Security System Glossary  
Arm and Disarm - Rendering of an igniter from a safe (no energy) to a ready-to-  
Perimeter Arm - Arming command that arms only the perimeter of your building,  
fire condition and vice versa.  
Point - Detection device, or group of devices, connected to your security system.  
A point is a single door or an entire room or area of your building (like the  
second floor). Most points are either perimeter, interior, or fire (24-hour) points.  
Bypass - Deliberately not including certain points of protection when arming the  
security system.  
Trouble - Service condition that needs to be corrected, such as a broken wire.  
Central Station - Facility where trained personnel monitor your security system  
24 hours a day. Your system can contact central station personnel to dispatch the  
proper authorities.  
Closing Report - Signal to your security company indicating the system is armed.  
Commercial accounts can use this report to indicate the business is now closed.  
Keypad - Displays system status, sounds warnings with a sounder, and can also  
control many other functions of a security system including Arming and  
Disarming.  
Entry Delay - Predetermined amount of time provided by the security system to enter  
an armed building through a delay door. Once the delay door is opened, the entry  
delay begins. If the security system is not disarmed before the delay time expires, the  
system goes into alarm.  
Exit Delay - Predetermined amount of time provided by the security system to  
leave the armed building through a delay door. Once the system is armed, the  
exit time begins. You must exit the building before the exit delay time expires.  
Faulted Point - Point that is not normal (a door or window is open).  
Force Arm - Turning on (arming) the security system even though one or more  
points are faulted. Force arming bypasses the faulted points.  
Master Arm - Turning on (arming) all detection systems, including interior and  
perimeter points.  
Opening Report - Signal to your security company indicating the system just was  
disarmed. Commercial accounts can use this report to indicate the business is  
open.  
30  
 
Inadequate maintenance and failure to test are the most common causes of alarm  
failure. It is strongly recommended that you test your system once a week to be  
sure all system components are working properly.  
Security System Limitations  
Not even the most advanced security system can guarantee protection against  
burglary, fire, or environmental threats. All security systems are subject to  
possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons including, but  
not limited to, the following:  
Although having a security system can make you eligible for reduced insurance  
premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance. Warning devices cannot  
compensate you for loss of life or property.  
If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearing range of people in  
remote areas of the building or in areas which are frequently closed off,  
they do not provide the intended protection.  
If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry, the system  
does not detect their entrance.  
If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or  
disconnecting all or part of the system, they are not detected.  
If the AC power supply is off and the backup battery is missing or dead,  
sensors do not detect intrusion.  
Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or  
smoke blocked by a closed door. They can not detect smoke or fire  
on a level of the building different from the one on which they are  
located. Smoke detectors cant warn in time about fires started by  
explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical  
circuits, or other types of hazardous conditions.  
If phone lines are out of service, reports from the security system to  
the security company cannot be sent. Telephone lines are  
vulnerable to compromise by several means.
