General Information
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on
the configuration of your system. The system consists of a touchscreen control for system
operation, various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection,
and optional smoke or combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition,
optional wireless keypads may have been installed to allow you to control the system away
from the touchscreen control. The system may also be used as a speaker phone.
The system monitors protection zones and system status, displays appropriate information
on the touchscreen display, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have
