First Alert ReadyGuard-R Series

Introduction

This Quick Start Guide can help you install the rechargeable ReadyGuard-R and ReadyGuard-REN quickly and easily by providing the basic steps for installation using the built-in defaults. For more detailed information and important notes, refer to the ReadyGuard-R Series Installation Instructions.

The following steps assume that one of the system's default tables will be used. For programming data values and Powerline Carrier Devices other than those listed in the default tables, see the Installation Instructions.

Default Table Summary

Master User Code: 1-2-3-4

Installer Code: 4-1-1-2

Duress Code: ------

Entering Program Mode: Installer Code + 800

Interactive Mode:

• *56 Enhanced Zone Programming: Zone characteristics, report codes, and serial numbers
• *83 Sequential Mode: 5800 Series transmitter serial numbers
• *84 Assign Zone Voice Descriptors: Voice descriptors for each zone

Exiting Program Mode: *99 allows re-entry into the Program mode using Installer Code + 800. *98 inhibits re-entry into the Programming mode using the Installer Code.

Notes:

• Tables 2 and 4 support the automatic paging feature (open/close events reported to pager phone number), and a Powerline Carrier Device programmed as device 8, which closes and stays closed upon burglary alarms and restores after bell timeout. For other applications or actions (e.g., using a pulsing siren), see the *80 Device Programming Menu Mode section of the Installation Instructions.
• Primary report format for all tables is Ademco's Contact ID reporting. Tables 2 and 4 also use Contact ID for secondary reporting. Tables 1, and 3 use 4+1 format for secondary reporting.
• Table 2 records all events in the event log. Tables 1, 3, and 4 record only alarms, alarm restores, troubles, and trouble restores in their event logs.

Installation and Electrical Connections

1. Step 1: Install the control

   a. Separate the front assembly from the back plate and disconnect the cable from the front assembly board. Note: Disconnect the cable only from the front assembly board, not from the terminal block PC board.

   b. Mount the back plate.

   g. After all wiring connections have been made, snap the front assembly to the back plate so it is held by the locking tabs.

   h. Plug the transformer into a 24-hour, 110VAC unswitched outlet. Note: Rechargeable batteries may take up to 48-hours to fully charge. "LOW BAT" message should clear within four hours, or by entering Test Mode.

   Diagram Description: Two diagrams illustrate the physical installation of the battery pack and the connection of the front assembly to the back plate. One shows the battery pack being inserted into the back plate with a retainer. The other shows the front assembly being connected to the back plate, highlighting the ribbon cable connection and locking tabs.

System Programming

Warning: TO PREVENT RISK OF SHOCK, DISCONNECT TELEPHONE LINE AT TELECOM JACK BEFORE SERVICING THIS UNIT. ALL OUTPUT CIRCUITS ARE POWER LIMITED.

Certain features differ between the ReadyGuard-R and the ReadyGuard-REN models. Verify the specific model being installed prior to the system programming.

1. Step 1: Set a programming default

   a. Enter Programming mode: Installer Code + 800.

   b. Press *97, then press a number 1-4 to select a default table from the tables listed on page 1.

2. Step 2: Program the variable data fields

   a. RF House ID - Press *24, then enter the desired 2-digit RF House ID for wireless keypads.

   b. PABX Access Code (if used) - Press *40, then enter up to 6 digits. If fewer than 6 digits are used, press [*] to end the field and advance to the next field.

   c. Primary Phone Number - Press *41, then enter the primary phone number, up to 20 digits. If fewer than 20 digits are used, press [*] to end the field and advance to the next field.

   d. Secondary Phone Number (if used) - Press *42, then enter the secondary phone number, up to 24 digits. If fewer than 24 digits are used, press [*] to end the field and advance to the next field.

   e. Secondary Account Number (if used) - Press *44, then enter the secondary account number. If only 3 digits are used, press [*] to end the field and advance to the next field.

   f. Pager Characters - Press *88 if using Default Table 2 or 4, then enter up to 16 digits which may be required by your pager service (e.g. account number, PIN, etc.). If fewer than 16 digits are used, press [*] to end the field and advance to the next field.

   g. Download Phone Number - Press *94, then enter the downloading computer phone number, up to 20 digits. If fewer than 20 digits are used, press [*] to end the field.

3. Step 3: Enhanced Sequential Mode

   Press *83, then follow the prompts:

   a. Zone Number: Enter 2-digit zone number. The system will announce the Voice Descriptor for the selected zone number, if programmed. Press [*] to continue. The system searches for the first transmitter with pre-programmed attributes: correct input type (*56), correct loop number (*56), no serial number programmed, and zone type.

   Note 1: If the first zone number entered does not meet the criteria, the system searches its database for the first zone that does and displays it at the ENROLL SERIAL NUMBER prompt.

   Note 2: Pressing 00 exits mode, and the prompt "83" blinks, indicating the mode is inactive.

   b. Enroll Mode: If "L" is displayed, the serial number has already been entered and can be confirmed, viewed, or deleted.

   • If the transmitter's serial number has not been previously entered, press "1" to enter enroll serial number mode, or press "2" to copy the last entered serial number.
   • If the serial number has been previously entered, press "3" to view or "9" to delete.
   • Note: When viewing, each digit is re-displayed, and the keypad beeps once for digits 1-6, and three times for the last digit.
   • Once the serial number is entered, the system returns to the (1A) prompt with "L" displayed.
   • This point can be faulted and restored, and the panel listens for transmission.
   • The serial number/loop number combination can be confirmed by faulting and restoring the zone. If the panel receives a matching transmission, it beeps three times, and "C" is displayed, indicating confirmation. No further transmissions are needed.
   • Note: When confirming a 4-button key, it's assumed all loops are used and only the serial number is confirmed. Pressing any key allows confirmation. Two beeps indicate acceptance; a single long beep indicates illegal entries or duplicate serial number/loop entry.
   • When the last zone is entered, the display remains on that zone. To exit and return to data field program mode, press 00 at the ZONE NUMBER prompt.
   • Once all zones are programmed, test each zone using the system's Test mode. Do not use the Transmitter ID Sniffer mode, as it only checks for transmission of one zone on a particular transmitter, not all assigned zones.

   c. Serial Number: This prompt enrolls the transmitter serial number via RF transmission or manually. If using RF Learning, proceed to c.1). If using manual mode, skip to c.2).

   1) RF Learning: Two (2) transmissions (key depressions at least five seconds apart) are required for BR type, or four (4) transmissions (fault, restore, fault, restore) for UR or RF type. BR type devices can only be enrolled by BR devices; UR and RF devices by UR or RF devices.

   Note: If the learned serial number has a different loop number than entered in *56, the system announces the Voice Descriptor (if programmed), followed by two beeps, and returns to Prompt (1A) with "L" displayed. If the loop number matches, the system announces the Voice Descriptor (if programmed), followed by three beeps, and returns to Prompt (1A) with "LC" displayed.

   Note: BR type devices can only be enrolled by transmission from BR devices. Likewise, UR and RF devices can only be enrolled by transmission from a UR or RF device.

   2) Manual Entry: Enter the 7-digit serial number printed on the transmitter. If an incorrect digit is entered, press the [#] key to backup to prompt (1A) and start over. When all seven digits are entered, press the [*] key.

   Note: If less than 7 digits are entered, the keypad emits a single long beep and returns to the (1A) prompt without displaying "L". If more than 7 digits are entered, the first 6 digits are saved along with the last entered digit (e.g., 123456789 yields 1234569). If 52 seconds pass with no entry, the system returns to prompt (1A).

   d. Delete Serial Number: This prompt deletes the serial number programmed for the zone. Enter "0" to discard or "1" to confirm.

4. Step 4: Set RF House ID in wireless keypads

   a. 5827 wireless keypad - Set DIP switches to the RF House ID programmed in field *24.

   b. 5804BD button key - Set the RF House ID per its instructions.

   c. Powerline Carrier Devices - Set their House ID to "A," (programmed as "0") or use field *25 to change the ID to avoid conflicts with existing installations.

5. Step 5: Set the Real-Time Clock

   a. Enter time/date setting mode: User Code + FUNCTION + [63].

   b. The hour prompt is displayed. Enter the correct hour, then press [*] to accept and advance.

   c. For each subsequent prompt, enter the correct value, then press [*].

   d. The system exits this mode automatically after entering the year, or if no keys are pressed for 1 minute.

6. Step 6: Test the system

   a. After installation and programming, enter Installer Code + TEST.

   b. To exit Test mode, enter Installer Code + OFF.

7. Step 7: Assign User Codes

   Assign desired User Codes by following the procedures on the next page and in the User Guide. Show the user how to perform the various system functions.

8. Step 8: Perform site-initiated downloader session

   Load central station ID by Installer Code + [#] + [1].
