Introduction

XTL, XTLN, XTLN-WiFi, and XTLC Systems
This Guide covers operation of the XTL, XTLN, XTLN-WiFi, and XTLC
systems.
About Your Security System
Your system is designed with your safety and comfort in mind. It uses
the latest in computer technology to create the most advanced,
user friendly, wireless security and fire system available.
The system combines ease of use with a simple to understand
keypad display to offer the full range of features requested by
today’s security system owners. Your security system can protect
both the interior and perimeter of your home or business while you
are away or just the perimeter when you are inside, giving you a
wall of security and peace of mind.
You can turn portions of your protection on or off at any time by
pressing a few keys. You can add, delete, and change personal user
codes at any time or check the status of all protection devices in
the system.
Keypads
This is the device we have placed at certain locations throughout
the premises that allows you to turn the system protection on and
off using your personal user code.
Keypad User Menu
The keypad provides a simple User Menu containing all of the
functions you need to fully operate your system such as performing
a system test or changing a personal user code.
A Note About False Alarms
One of the most important concerns facing the security industry
today is false alarms. The accidental dispatching of police and
fire agencies places others in jeopardy by limiting the response
capability of those emergency service units.
As part of our commitment to reducing false alarms, we would like
to encourage you to read this guide thoroughly. All the information
contained here can help you quickly, and comfortably, learn the
XTL Series system operation.
Note: There may be a 30-second alarm communication delay
pre-programmed at installation to allow disarming if a false
alarm occurs. This delay is optional and can be removed or
increased to 45 seconds by your alarm dealer.
Test Your System Weekly
It is recommended that you test the burglary portion of your system
at least once each week. Testing should involve an active test of all
doors, windows, and motion detectors connected to your system.
If your system also has fire protection, call the service department
to find out how this portion of your system should be tested.
Refer to the System Test section of this guide for instructions on
testing the burglary portion of your system.
Emergency Evacuation Plans
Overview
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
event of a fire or other emergency.
Draw a floor plan of your home or business
On a clean sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and
stairs. Also draw any obstacles that a person may encounter while
exiting the building such as large furniture or appliances.
Develop escape routes
Determine at least two routes the occupants in each room can
take to safely escape. One route can be the most obvious such as
the door. Another can be through an easily opened window. If the
window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be provided.
Draw arrows on the floor plan to show escape routes from each
room.
Decide where to meet
Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where
emergency personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor’s house
or across the street in front of the house are good locations. Always
perform a head count to make sure all occupants safely exited.
NEVER ENTER A BURNING BUILDING. If the head count shows one
or more persons missing, give this information immediatel
Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning. For the plan to be
effective everyone should practice escape routes from each room.

Early detection
The best way to survive a fire or other emergency is to get out
early. A fire alarm system installation, with smoke and carbon
monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease your risk
of loss or injury

user code is not entered within 5 seconds or an invalid user code is
entered, the burglary tone begins sounding again.
Below are brief descriptions of the different tones you hear from
the keypad.
Fire alert: An intermittent sweeping siren that continuously repeats
until the fire alarm is silenced. This is in addition to a separate
siren activated by the alarm panel.
Burglary alert: A siren tone that continues until the alarm is
silenced. This is in addition to the separate siren output operated
by the alarm panel.
Key press tone: A short beep as you press a key on the keypad.
Prewarn tone: A continuous pulsed tone that sounds when you open an entry delay door on a system that is armed (turned on)
reminding you to disarm the burglary protection.
Your system will silence the tone as soon as the first user code
digit key is pressed. If a valid user code is not entered within
5 seconds or an invalid user code is entered, the prewarn tone
begins sounding again.
Exit tone: When fully arming your system to leave, a continuous
pulsing tone sounds during the exit countdown just after arming
to remind you to exit the premise. At ten seconds prior to the end
of the countdown, the rate of pulsing increases.
Monitor tone: A pulsed tone that sounds one time for one second
each time a door or window is opened while you are using the
zone monitor function from the User Menu. See Zone Monitor.
Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your
system. Press any key to silence the trouble tone.
What to do when the trouble tone sounds
You can silence the trouble tone by pressing any key.
This only silences the keypad and does not correct the
condition that originally caused the trouble. 1100 Series Wireless
Your system may include wireless devices such as key fob(s). There
are three types of wireless key fobs available:
4-Button Model 1145-4 Key Fob
2-Button Model 1145-2 Key Fob
1-Button Model 1145-1 Key Fob
The drawing shows the button
layout for all three models for your
reference. Each button on the key fob
is programmed to perform a specific
action. The button names are listed
for your reference.
TOP = the Key Fob Top button
BTM = the Key Fob Bottom button
LFT = the Key Fob Left button
RGT = the Key Fob Right button
The button programming list for the
key fob(s) connected to your system is
located in the System Setup section of
this guide. Refer to Appendix B for LED
Status operation information. Specific
function labels can be added to each
button to indicate button operation.
For best operation, allow the LED
to turn on and then turn off before
pressing another button. The key fob
may not complete sending the signal
for the button press if another button
is pressed too quickly
Special Wireless Displays
Your system uses wireless transmitters to send alarm and trouble
information from the protection devices to the panel. Wireless
systems have several unique keypad displays.
BACK DOOR -LOBAT – (Low Battery) The battery in a wireless
transmitter is low. (BACK DOOR is used as an example only.)
BACK DOOR -MISNG – (Missing) The panel is not receiving the
wireless transmitter periodic test report.
WIRELESS -TRBL – (Trouble) Some part of your wireless system is
operating improperly. Call the service department for assistance.
WIRELESS RECEIVER JAMMED -ALARM – Your system may be programmed
for wireless interference detection and, if displayed, your wireless
receiver has detected an interfering signal while the system is armed.
WIRELESS RECEIVER JAMMED -TRBL – (Trouble) Your system may be
programmed for wireless interference detection and, if displayed,
your wireless receiver has detected an interfering signal while the
system is disarmed.
Special Keypad Displays
As you use your system, you may occasionally see a keypad display
that asks you to enter a user code or describes a condition on the
system. Below are some examples of the displays you may see.
ALARM
A 24-hour zone, such as a fire or panic zone, or an armed burglary
zone is faulted. Your system may also sound wireless sirens.
ALARM NOT SENT
The alarm signal was aborted and was not sent to the central station because a user code was entered to disarm the system before the alarm signal was sent to the central station. Also, your system maybe pre-programmed at installation to send an Abort signal to the Central Station. Refer to the Introduction section.

Arming and Disarming

How Your System Operates
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area, All/Perimeter or Home/Sleep/Away.
• All/Perimeter — Your burglary protection is divided into two
areas: Interior and Perimeter.
Perimeter arming is for when you are staying inside but want
the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are
armed. Perimeter arming allows you to move freely about inside
without setting off any interior alarms.
All arms both the Perimeter and the Interior of the system. You
want to arm both of these areas when leaving the building and
no one is left inside.
• Home/Sleep/Away — Your burglary protection is divided into
two or three areas: Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms.
Home (Perimeter) arming is for when you are staying inside but
want the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are
armed.
Sleep (Perimeter and Interior) arms all areas except those near
bedrooms and nighttime areas.
Away (Perimeter, Interior, and Bedrooms) arms all three areas
for when you leave the building and no one is left inside.
• Area — Your burglary protection is divided into up to six
areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or off
independently of other areas, and limit access to only those
users with proper authority.
Regardless of which mode is programmed, much of the operation is similar. Throughout this guide, any differences between the systems are noted for your convenience. Arming Functions
Arming: During arming, the system verifies that all doors, windows,
and other protection devices to be armed are in normal condition.
If everything is normal, the system arms. If there is a problem on
one or more burglary zones, the keypad displays the problem and
allows you to correct the problem or bypass those zones.
If the problem can be corrected by closing a door or window, do
not bypass the zone. Instead, correct the problem and try arming
again. If the problem cannot be corrected, you can bypass the zone
or wait until the zone can be repaired by a service technician. A
bypassed zone is ignored by the system during the armed period.
In some cases the keypad might display FRONT DOOR – FAULT.
The keypad may then display PRIORITY ZONE, which is a zone that
cannot be bypassed. The problem on the zone must be corrected
before the system can be armed.
After making your arming selection, the keypad displays any zones
that are currently bypassed. These zones remain bypassed until the
system is armed and then disarmed. Any 24-hour zones in a faulted
condition also display.
Armed Message: After completing all bypasses or correcting zone
faults, the areas selected are armed.
For All/Perimeter systems the keypad displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all
areas in the system are arming or PERIMETER ON if only selected
areas are arming.
For Home/Away or Home/Sleep/Away systems the keypad displays
ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are arming, HOME SYSTEM
ON or SLEEP SYSTEM ON if only selected areas are arming.
For an Area System the keypad displays SYSTEM ON if at least one area in the system is armed, followed by the area numbers that were armed. The keypad displays ALL SYSTEM ON if all areas in the system are armed.

Exit Delay: The keypad then displays the exit delay time as it counts
down. If the entire system has been armed, your system beeps the
exit delay tone at eight-second intervals until the last 10 seconds
when the keypad beeps at three-second intervals. After exiting the
building, if you re-enter during the countdown the exit countdown
restarts, allowing additional time to then disarm or again exit the
building during the countdown. This restart can occur only one
time. When the exit delay time expires, all disarmed zones are
armed. If your system uses a keyswitch to arm an area, the exit
delay time does NOT count down on the keypad display.
When you arm both the Perimeter and Interior to leave the building
but then you do not exit by the time the exit delay ends, the system
automatically arms but the interior area(s) will remain disarmed
because you have not exited.
Should you exit the building and the door does not close properly,
your system may be programmed so that when the exit delay
countdown ends, then the entry delay starts and the siren will
sound to alert you to the situation. Enter your user code to stop the
siren and disarm the system. Rearm the system, exit the building,
and make sure the door is securely closed.
ONE MOMENT . . . Message: If your system is monitored, it
may be programmed to wait for the arming report to be sent to
the monitoring station before displaying the armed message. This
verifies that the arming message was received by your monitoring
station. While the system waits, the display reads ONE MOMENT….
If the report is received, the keypad buzzes for one second and
displays the armed message.
If the report is not received, the keypad displays LOCAL ALARM
ONLY before displaying the armed message. Arming Report: Your system may be pre-programmed at installation to send arming or zone bypass reports to a central station.
