INTRODUCTION

Congratulationg on your decision to protect your home or business with the STAR-fone™ security system. The system has been designed with reliabilty and eass of operation in mind.
The “brain” of ity system is the STAR-fone™ Control e “brain” of your new security system is the -fone! ntrol Panel. All of the detection devices have been wired to the control panel. Whenever a violation occurs, the control panel reacts. It may cause a siren to sound, transmit a coded signal to the central station, activate lights or messages on the keypad, or send a spoken message to you through your touch tone telephone.
The Star-fone™ security system can be operated through keypads or through a touch tone telephone (either on premise, or off premise).
The STAR-one™ converts any touch tone telephone into “the voice of your security system”. It interprets the control panels signals into actual English language messages through the telephone receiver, and with the push buttons on your phone, you can dial your instructions to the control panel: Turn on/Turn off, Bypass zones etc.
Since each STAR-fone™ security system is professionally installed and customized to meet your particular security needs, your system may not provide some of the features described in this manual. Your alarm installer will identify those features that have been incorporated into your system.
In addition, a vide o tape users guide is available. Consult your installer for more information.

KEYPAD OPERATION

1.1 KEYPAD LAYOUT
The STAR-fone can be operated by touch tone telephone or  keypads. The keypad is the arming station for the STAR-fone. Three different versions are available, a metal plate flush mounted version (XL4600RM), a plastic cased surface mount version, and an LCD (liquid crystal display) version containing a two line readout. The keypads have the following appearance‘ and contain the following items;

1. ZONE STATUS INDICATORS – displays the current zone status as follows;
   ALARM Fast blinking.
   BYPASS Slow blinking low intensity.
   TROUBLE Slow pulse
   NOT READY Solid ON

2. ARM/DISARM INDICATOR -Shows whether the system is currently armed (ON) or disarmed (OFF).

3. STAY- shows the system has been armed with the interior zones bypassed.

4. INSTANT – shows whether the system has been ARMED with all delay zones instant.

5. AC/LOW BATTERY – shows whether the system is running on AC (ON) or backup battery (OFF).

6. READY Indicates whether the system is ready for arming.

7. NUMERICAL KEYPAD operates in a similar manner to a calculator or telephone with the digits 0 – 9 and * # clearly marked.

8. DISPLAY AREA – This section of the LCD keypad displays the current system status in this two line by sixteen character display.

Throughout this portion of the users manual the following conventions are used to display the keystrokes required to perform the functions from the keypads:

BYPASS Key labeled BYPASS on keypad.
INSTANT Key labeled INSTANT on keypad.
STAY Key labeled STAY on keypad.
CODE Key labeled CODE on keypad
[USER] Four digit user code.

1.2 ARMING THE SYSTEM
ARMING the system will activate all portions of your Security System. Arming can only be performed if all zones are READY. For example, if a protected door is open the system cannot be armed.
SYSTEM READY
The system is ready to be armed if the READY indicator light ON. On LCD keypads the following display will appear:

ISYSTEM READY

If the system is ready, ARMING can be performed as follows;
ARMING PROCEDURE :
1. Enter your four digit user code into the keypad:
[USER] The ARMED indicator light will now be lit and if you are leaving the home you may exit through a door designated by your installer as an exit/entry zone for a fixed time period known as the exit delay.
The entry exit times for your system are as follows;

ENTRY:
seconds- EXIT: seconds
LCD keypads will display the following message;

ON AWAY****

NOTE: The system can be armed without the backup battery being connected.
SYSTEM NOT READY
If the system is not ready to be armed the READY indicator will be OFF. On LED based keypads the zone indicator lights will display the zones which are currently not ready. The condition of each zone indicator reflects what the status of each zone as follows;
ALARM Fast blinking.
BYPASS Slow blinking low intensity.
TROUBLE Slow pulse
NOT READY Solid ON
The LCD keypad will display zones which are not ready with a SYSTEM NOT READY message on the first line and the zone(s) that are not ready on the second line as shown below;

SYSTEM NOT READY
ZONE: 1_ 3 6

In the example above, zones 1 3 and 6 are not ready.
In order to make the system ready determine which zones are not ready by observing the zone indicator lights, or the display section of the LCD keypad. From the zone number you can find out which area of protection is not ready.
For example, assume the zone 3 is not ready. Typically this might mean that a protected door or window is open.

» Once the problems with each zone has been resolved the READY light will appear and the system can be armed.
To ARM the system when the system is NOT READY one of the following actions are necessary;
– Make the zone(s) ready. Determine which zones are not ready and perform what is necessary to ready the zone(s) (example, close the door or window, etc.),or
– Bypass the zone(s) not ready. Bypassing should only be performed if the zone cannot be made ready or intentionally will remain not ready.
Remember, zones that are bypassed are not protected when the system is armed.

1.3 DISARMING
Disarming the security system will deactivate the burglary portions of the system.
This procedure can also be used to reset your system if you accidentally set off the system ( example, opened a window while the system was armed, or excessive amount of smoke activated fire protection system).

DISARM PROCEDURE:
[USER]
Enter your user code,
IF NO ALARMS HAVE TAKEN PLACE
Upon disarming the ARMING indicator will go off.
The system display will reflect the current status. LCD keypads should display the SYSTEM READY display.
IF ALARMS HAVE TAKEN PLACE
If alarms or other conditions such as system troubles have taken place since the initial system arming, they will appear on the display. The conditions that have occurred appear in the zone display section of the keypad. LCD keypads will reflect the current system stauts through the indicator lights as follows;

ALARM Fast blinking.
BYPASS Slow blinking low intensity.
TROUBLE Slow pulse
NOT READY Solid ON

Burglary alarms will be indicated with a STEADY sound through the keypad while FIRE alarms will generate a pulsing sound.
LCD keypads will show the alarm conditions with a display as follows:

ALARM
ZONE: 1_3_5

The second line of the display will show the zones which are in alarm.
In the example above, zones 1 3 and 5 are in alarm. After entry of your user code the display will contain the following display;

ALARM MEM
ZONE:1_3 5

If an intrusion has taken place while you were away, do not enter until the location has been secured!!l.
» To clear the display of the alarm or trouble conditions and silence the audible signal enter [USER] again.

1.4 STAY
The STAY mode is another way to ARM your system while you remain in the location. The STAY mode will deactivate any interior protection zones which means that you will be free to walk throughout your location without activating the alarm system.
In order to enter the STAY mode, the system must be READY. (see previous description).
STAY PROCEDURE:
STAY [USER]
Depress the STAY key followed by your user code.
After a successful STAY arming the ARMED indicator will be lit. In addition, on LED keypads the STAY indicator will be lit.
In LCD keypads the following display will appear;

ON: STAY

The system must be ready to select the INSTANT option.
INSTANT PROCEDURE:
INSTANT [USER]
Depress the INSTANT key followed by your user code.
Upon successful INSTANT ARMING of the system the ARMED indicator will be lit. In addition, on LED keypads the Instant indicator will be ON.
LCD keypads will contain the following message;

ON:INSTANT

Note: The INSTANT option will automatically be reset after the system is disarmed.

1.6 INSTANT – STAY
The INSTANT STAY mode will arm the system with the characteristics of both the INSTANT and STAY modes. The system will be armed with the interior portions bypassed and the entry delay will be suspended.
The system must be READY in order to enter this mode.
PROCEDURE:
INSTANT STAY [USER] or
STAY INSTANT [USER] Depress the INSTANT and STAY keys in any order followed by your user code.
After a successful INSTANT STAY arming the ARMED indicator will be lit. In addition, on LED keypads both the INSTANT and STAY lights will be on.
LCD keypads will contain the following message;

ON: STAY INSTANT

17 BYPASS
Bypasses are performed to eliminate burglary zones that are not ready or faulty from activating the security system.
BYPASS PROCEDURE:
BYPASS [USER] ZN
Depress the BYPASS key followed by your user code and zone number (1-6) to be bypassed.
Example:
BYPASS[USER]2 Will bypass zone 2.
If the zone has already been bypassed, the sequence will unbypass the zone except if the system is armed and the unbypassed zone is still not ready. Unbypass means that the zone returns as an active burglary zone.
After the bypass (or unbypass) command has baen accepted the unit will emit a continuous beep and zone or zones that have been bypassed will appear in a slow blinking mode in the zone status area on LED keypads.
LCD keypads will display the zone bypasses with the zones bypassed on the second line of the display as shown below. The top line can contain either the SYSTEM READY or NOT READY message.

SYSTEM READY
BYP:1_3_5

In this example, zones 1 3 and 5 have been bypassed.

1.8 UNBYPASS
The UNBYPASS function removes an existing bypass from a currently bypassed zone. After UNBYPASSING a zone, the bypass indication will be removed for that zone on either the LCD or LED keypad.
The procedure is similar to a bypass.
UNBYPASS PROCEDURE:
BYPASS [USER] ZN
See bypass description.

1.9 USER DEFINITION
