Features
Your RadioShack Two-Zone Burglar Alarm System provides
the frame for a sophisticated perimeter alarm system. When
properly installed, it warns you of unauthorized entry into
your office or home. Its professional features make it com-
patible with most intrusion sensors and alarms.
You can enhance your system by connecting additional se-
curity devices, such as sirens, lights, and other accessories.
It can even initiate an optional telephone dialer that automat-
ically calls specified phone numbers when the alarm is acti-
vated. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of UL-
listed security accessories.
Your alarm system’s features include:
Delayed and Instant Alarm Zones
— let you install sen-
sors (not supplied) to create delayed and instant alarm
zones. You can install loops of NO (normally open) and NC
(normally closed) sensors in separate groupings within
these zones.
Panic/Tamper Zones
— lets you install sensors, such as
panic buttons and tamper switches (not supplied), to form a
panic/tamper alarm zone, so you can sound the alarm any
time, even if the alarm system is not armed.
Battery Backup
— lets you connect one rechargeable bat-
tery (not supplied) to provide power if AC power fails, to
maintain all system settings.
Automatic and Manual Battery Test
— automatically
checks the battery every 3 hours 50 minutes. You can also
manually test the battery by pressing a button on the alarm
center.

1 remote keypad
2 keypad mounting screws

REQUIRED/OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Your alarm system requires the following recommended ac-
cessories, available at your local RadioShack store.

Any sensors and other items you purchase to enhance your
system might require accessories not listed here. Make sure
you have everything you need before installing your system.
To help avoid false alarms while you install and test the
alarm system, we recommend you use a lamp to temporarily
connect to the alarm output terminals, so you can see it light
instead of sounding the alarm.
