NOTE: The PowerSeries, Alexor, and Impassa security systems include specific false alarm reduc-

ing the false alarm reduction features built into your system as all are not covered in this manual.
Carbon Monoxide Detection (must be enabled by your Installer)
This equipment is capable of monitoring carbon monoxide detectors and providing a warning if

carbon monoxide is detected. Please read the Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual and

instructions that are available with the carbon monoxide detector.

Fire Detection (must be enabled by your Installer)
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and

providing a warning if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate

number of detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in

accordance with NFPA 72 (N.F.P.A., Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the

Family Escape Planning guidelines in this manual.

Testing
To insure that your system continues to function as intended, you must test your system weekly.

Please refer to the “Testing your System” section in this manual. If your system does not function

properly, call your installing company for service.

Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles & emergency information to a central station.

If you initiate an alarm by mistake, immediately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary

response.
NOTE: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it becomes functional.
NOTE: There is a communicator delay of 30 seconds in this control panel. It can be removed, or it

can be increased up to 45 seconds, at the option of the end-user by consulting with the installer.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum maintenance. Note the following points:
• Use the system test described in “Testing Your System” to check the battery condition. We recom-

mend, however, that the standby batteries be replaced every 3-5 years.

• For other system devices such as smoke detectors, passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion 

detectors or glassbreak detectors, consult the manufacturer’s literature for testing and maintenance 
instructions.

Your security system is made up of a DSC control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors

and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement.

The metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and standby battery. 
NOTE: Only the installer or service professional should have access to the control panel. 

All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. The keypad is used to send

commands to the system and to display the current system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in a

convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/exit door(s). 
The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones will be connected to

one or more sensors (motion detectors, glass break detectors, door contacts, etc.). See Alarm Memory

on page 17 for information on sensors in alarm for this Touchscreen keypad.
