THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

There are some basic things youshould know before proceeding.

TIME, DATE AND STATUS DISPLAY

In its normal state, the consoledisplay will show the time and dateon the top line, and the systemstatus on the bottom line. If alldoors, windows, sensors, etc. are

closed and OK; if no zones arebypassed and if there are notroubles, the bottom line will show“SYSTEM OK”.

If one of the doors, windows,motion or other detector connectedto the Model 1503 is open, or hasdetected motion, the bottom line ofthe display will say “ZONE NAME INALARM”, for example, “FRONT DOOR INALARM”. (If the zone name has notbeen entered during set up, thedisplay will give the zone numberand zone type.) This display willremain for 2 seconds, then the nextzone in alarm, or in trouble, orbypassed will be displayed.

DISPLAY MENUS

The system has been designed tobe easy to operate. Whenever youpress a key on the console, thedisplay will indicate what you aredoing, and the bottom line willshow a menu of your next options.

USER-SPECIFIED NAMES FOR ZONES,UNITS, AND BUTTONS

The system can be set up to dis-play descriptive names such as“FRONT DOOR”, “JOHN’S BEDROOM”, or“PORCH LIGHT” for zones, units, andbuttons. These names are displayedinstead of the zone, unit, or but-ton number that is normally dis-played. These names are enteredusing a special set-up mode. (The


9

descriptions are normally enteredby your dealer. See SET-UP,NAMES.)

Whenever a zone, unit, or buttonmust be specified, the SHOW key maybe pressed to show the name for thefirst zone, unit, or button. Al-ternatively, the number for a spe-cific zone, unit, or button may beentered before pressing the SHOWkey to display the name for thatparticular item. The SHOW and SET-UP keys may then be used to scrollthrough the list of names. To lookat another specific item, simplyenter the item number followed bythe SHOW key.

ERROR BEEPS

If you press a key that is in-valid for the function that you aredoing, the console will beep 3times, indicating that it can’t dowhat you have asked it. Look at thebottom line of the display to seewhat keys you can press next.

KEY ASSIGNMENTS

In some cases, the keypad keys(0 - 9 and * and #) are assigned todifferent functions. A key assign-ment is indicated by putting thekeypad number directly in front ofthe new function on the bottom lineof the display. For example, if thebottom line says 1DELETE, thatmeans press 1 to delete.

CANCEL

If you are ever unsure and wishto return to the time, date andstatus display, press the CANCELkey. You may have to press it morethan once, depending on how farinto the function you were. Eachtime you cancel out of an opera-tion, the console will beep once toindicate that you have canceled.

The CANCEL key can also be usedif you make a mistake while enter-ing a number. For example, if youenter a 2 when you meant to enter a3, press the CANCEL key to startover.

TROUBLE BEEPS

The Model 1503 constantly checksitself and the entire system forproper operation. If trouble isfound, the trouble will be dis-played on the bottom line of thedisplay and the console will beepat the rate of two beeps per secondto alert you to the trouble. (Thisfeature can be turned off if de-sired. See SET-UP, BEEP ONTROUBLE.)

To silence the beeper, press the CANCELkey.

For more information, seeTROUBLE INDICATIONS.

TIME OUT

If you are called away from theconsole for any reason (to take aphone call, for instance) while youare engaged in an operation, theconsole will time out and cancel itfor you after 3 minutes. The dis-play will return to the normal timeand date display.

3. SECURITY SYSTEMOPERATION

DISARMING THE SECURITY SYSTEM andSILENCING ALARMS

Before going any further, youshould know how to turn your alarmsystem OFF. Turning the system OFFdisarms the burglar alarm, resetsthe fire and emergency alarms andsilences all sirens and sounders.

Go to your console now and lookat the keypad. You will note thatthere is a border around four keyswith the word SECURITY at the top.The bottom key in this group isOFF. This key will be referred toas the SECURITY-OFF key.

Press the SECURITY-OFF key.

Now press the four digits of yourMASTER CODE on the number keys.

That’s all there is to it.

Watch the display. The top linewill read “DISARM SYSTEM: OFF:” Thebottom line will read “CODE *BY-PASS #RESTORE”, indicating thatyour options are to enter your codenumber, or to bypass or restorezones. Do not be concerned withBypass and Restore for now. Foreach digit that you press, an Xwill appear indicating that the keyhas been pressed.

After the fourth digit of yourcode is pressed, the console willbeep once to indicate that you have

correctly disarmed the system, andthe GREEN indicator on the SECU-RITY-OFF key will light.

If an incorrect code is entered,the words INVALID CODE will appearon the display and the console willbeep three times.

In the event that you make amistake, press the SECURITY-OFF keyagain, then enter your master codeagain.

Practice disarming your systemuntil you are comfortable with thisprocedure. Do it at least 4 times.

NOTES:

1. If you accidentally press theHOME-CONTROL-OFF key (the bottomkey in the HOME CONTROL group)instead of the SECURITY-OFF key,you can still turn off the alarmby entering your code.

2. If the alarm has been acti-vated, the keys in the PROGRAM-MING group are locked out. Youmust silence the alarm using theSECURITY-OFF, HOME, ASLEEP orAWAY keys.

TURNING THE SECURITY SYSTEM ON

Now that you know how to turn itoff, here’s how to turn the secu-rity system ON. There are threeavailable modes for the securitysystem, HOME, ASLEEP and AWAY.

HOME


12

If you are going to sleep but afamily member is expected homelater, use the HOME mode so thatthere is an entry delay.

To put your system in the ASLEEP mode,

Press the ASLEEP key

Enter your code on the keypad.

The console will beep once andthe red indicator on the ASLEEP keywill light. If you make a mistake,press CANCEL and start over. Thesystem will arm itself after theEXIT DELAY.

AWAY

Use the AWAY mode when you leaveyour house and no one is home. Alldoors, windows, and motion detec-tors are armed.

All zones have an EXIT DELAY sothat you will have time to leaveyour house and close the door afteryou arm the system. The system willbe fully armed after the EXIT DE-LAY.

There is an ENTRY DELAY on theENTRY-EXIT zone in the AWAY mode,so that you will have time to turnthe system off when you returnthrough your door.

Note that the ENTRY DELAY onlyapplies if you come in through anENTRY-EXIT zone. If someone at-tempts to climb into a window, orif an interior zone is trippedbefore the ENTRY-EXIT zone, thealarm will be activated immedi-ately.

The HOME mode is intended foruse when you and your family are inyour home, and you wish to havedoors and windows armed, but nointerior motion detectors armed sothat your family may move aboutfreely inside the house. (PANIC,TAMPER and FIRE zones are alwaysarmed, as are the three EMERGENCYbuttons on the console.) In theHOME mode, there is an ENTRY DELAYon the ENTRY-EXIT zone, so that anarriving family member can turn offthe alarm before it sounds.

To put your system in the HOME mode,

Press the HOME key

Enter your code number on the keypad.

The console will beep once andthe yellow indicator on the HOMEkey will light, meaning that youhave armed the system in the HOMEmode. The system will arm itselfafter the EXIT DELAY. If you make amistake, press CANCEL to startover.

ASLEEP

The ASLEEP mode is used when youare asleep and everyone in yourhousehold is at home or not ex-pected to return home. In theASLEEP mode, your doors, windowsand non-sleeping area (i.e. down-stairs) motion detectors are armed.

In the ASLEEP mode, there is noentry delay. The alarm system willbe activated immediately if anydoor, window or home interior mo-tion detector is tripped. There-fore, only use ASLEEP mode wheneveryone is home and ready for bed.

13


If you do enter through an EN-TRY-EXIT zone first, then the otherzones are disabled during the ENTRYDELAY, in case you have to crossthrough another zone to get to yourconsole (an interior motion detec-tor, for example.)

To put your system in the AWAY mode,

Press the AWAY key.

Press your code number on the keypad.

The console will beep once andthe red indicator on the AWAY keywill light. Leave your home andclose the door promptly. The systemwill be fully armed after the EXITDELAY. If you make a mistake, pressCANCEL and start over.

The programmed ENTRY DELAY is__________ seconds; the programmedEXIT DELAY is __________ seconds.

QUICK ARM

For extra convenience, the Model1503 can be armed simply by press-ing the HOME, ASLEEP or AWAY buttontwice, eliminating the need toenter the code.

To quick arm the system in the AWAYmode, press AWAY, AWAY.

The quick arm feature only worksif the alarm system is in the OFFmode, and if no alarms are sound-ing. This feature is disabled whenthe system is shipped from thefactory. If desired, it can beenabled or disabled at any time.See SET-UP, MISC., QUICK ARM.

BYPASSING ZONES

You can BYPASS a zone that youdo not want protected while thesystem is armed. Only the MASTERCODE can bypass and restore zones.

Bypassing is also the only waythat a tamper or panic zone can bedisarmed. For example, if there isa liquor closet or gun case on atamper zone, then you must bypassthat zone to gain access to it.

Another reason to BYPASS a zoneis if the zone is having trouble.If a zone is causing a troubleindication, you can bypass thatzone to “cut it out” of the systemuntil repairs are made.

When a zone is bypassed, it isno longer checked for alarm ortrouble conditions. When you bypassa zone using the console (or overthe phone) it will STAY bypasseduntil you RESTORE it. The consolestatus display will show that thezone is bypassed.

To bypass a zone, press the * key afterpressing any of the SECURITY keys, thenenter the zone number to bypass, thenENTER, then your master code number.

For example, to arm the system in AWAYmode and bypass zone 2, press AWAY, *,2, ENTER, then enter your master codenumber.

You can also scroll through thezones if you do not know which zonenumber it is.

For example, to arm in the ASLEEP modewith the UPSTAIRS WINDOW bypassed,press ASLEEP, *, SHOW (repeat until thedisplay shows UPSTAIRS WINDOW), ENTER,


14

system is armed, the Model 1503will automatically bypass a zone ifthe zone is in the alarm state whenthe system is armed.

When this happens, the displaywill indicate that the zone wasbypassed.

Note that there is an exit delaybefore the system is armed in anymode, so that the bypass will onlytake place if the zone is in alarmwhen the exit delay is over and thesystem actually arms itself.

When a zone is AUTO-BYPASSED, itwill be automatically restored thenext time you arm or disarm thesystem. The auto-bypass is recordedin the event log as “ZONE NAMEBYPASSED”

To prevent any zone from beingbypassed unintentionally, youshould always look for SYSTEM OK onthe display before arming and leav-ing the premises.

The AUTO-BYPASS feature can bedisabled if you do not want thesystem to automatically bypass openzones. If the auto-bypass featureis disabled, the alarm will soundif an open zone is armed.

NOTE: The AUTO-BYPASS feature isdisabled on UL Listed Installa-tions.

then enter your master code number.

The console will beep once, andthe time, date and status displaywill return. The bottom line willnow read “UPSTAIRS WINDOW BYPASSED”to remind you that the zone isbypassed.

RESTORING ZONES

Restoring a zone puts it back onactive duty in the system. Whenrestored, the BYPASSED indicationwill no longer be displayed on thestatus line and the zone will bechecked for alarm and trouble con-ditions.

To restore a zone that has beenbypassed, press any of the SECURITYkeys, then the # key, the number of thezone to restore then ENTER, (or # torestore ALL zones), then your codenumber.

For example, to turn the securitysystem off and restore zone 2, pressSECURITY-OFF, #, 2, ENTER, then yourcode number.

The console will beep and thedisplay will return to the time,date and status display. You canalso scroll through the zones bypressing the SHOW key instead ofthe zone number.

To simply restore all of thezones, press # when the displayreads “RESTORE ZONE:”

AUTO-BYPASS

In order to prevent the alarmfrom sounding unexpectedly if awindow or door is open when the

15


EMERGENCY BUTTONS

There are three buttons on theconsole surrounded by a bordermarked EMERGENCY. These buttons arelabeled FIRE, POLICE and MEDICAL.

There are actually two switchesunder each of these buttons. Toucheach button lightly with your fin-gertip and you will feel two bumpsunder each one.

In order to activate one of theemergency buttons, BOTH of these bumpsmust be pressed simultaneously usingtwo fingers, and held for approximately1 second.

The EMERGENCY buttons are alwaysarmed. When an emergency alarm isactivated by one of thepushbuttons, the red indicator forthat button lights up.

All emergency alarms are si-lenced by pressing SECURITY-OFF andentering your code.

There is a shortcut for MEDICALand FIRE emergency alarms, whichcan be turned off using the CANCELkey or the SECURITY-OFF key.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU COME HOME

Entry through a door:

- If you enter your home while thesystem is armed in the HOME orAWAY modes, using your normalentry door:

- Console beeper comes on - dis-play indicates “BURGLAR ALARM!- ZONE NAME TRIPPED” If morethan one zone is tripped, thenthe bottom line will show eachzone tripped for two seconds.

- Any lights or control modulesprogrammed to come on for thedoor that you used will do so.

- The system will wait the ENTRYDELAY time.

You should go to your console(or telephone) immediately and turnthe security system off. If youwish, you may go directly to HOMEor ASLEEP mode, rather than turningthe system OFF then back to HOME(or ASLEEP.)

If you return home and hear thealarm sounding, DO NOT ENTER. Use aneighbor's phone to call for help.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ALARM ISACTIVATED

BURGLAR ALARM ACTIVATED:

- If someone enters through anyzone other than an ENTRY-EXITzone, or if the security systemis in the ASLEEP mode, or if thesecurity system is not turnedoff during the ENTRY DELAY:

- The interior sounder is acti-vated, which makes a loud, con-tinuous sound.

- The ON FOR ALARM UNIT NUMBERSare turned on.

- The FLASH FOR ALARM UNIT NUMBERbegins to flash on and off.

If the called party is busy,does not answer, or answers butdoes not enter a code, then theModel 1503 goes to the BURGLAR DIALORDER to determine the next numberto dial, and the next call is made.When the last call is made in theBURGLAR DIAL ORDER, the housephones are reconnected and thesystem stops dialing.

- The system continues to soundall alarms and flash the flash-ing light for 4 minutes afterthe alarm is activated.

- After 4 minutes, the outsidesiren and interior sounder areturned off, and the alarm systemresets itself. The consolebeeper stays on, the lights con-tinue to flash. If any otherzone is tripped after a reset,the outdoor siren will again beactivated, and the dialer willagain dial out.

At any time, the alarm systemcan be turned off at the console.

FIRE ALARM ACTIVATED

- The system now waits the OUTSIDESIREN DELAY. (0 - 60 seconds)

- The Outdoor Siren is activated,which makes a loud, continuoussound.

- The system now waits the DIALOUT DELAY. (0 - 60 seconds)

- The in house phones are seized(or disconnected) and the Model1503 begins to dial out.

If you are having your systemmonitored by a central station, thecentral station will be sent a coderepresenting the type of alarm(burglary) and zone involved. Inmost cases, the central stationwill call back, requesting yourpassword or passcode.

If you are not using centralstation monitoring but are usingthe voice dial out capability, thesystem looks at the BURGLAR DIALORDER to determine which number tocall first, and calls that number.

If you are using both centralstation monitoring and voice dialout, then the voice dial out isdelayed by five minutes to give thecentral station time to call youback.

For the voice dial out, the mes-sage delivered to the called partywhen he answers and says somethingis: “BURGLAR ALARM: (your addressis spoken here*) ...EMERGENCY...EMERGENCY... THE BURGLAR ALARMHAS BEEN ACTIVATED AT THE FOLLOWINGADDRESS: (your address is spokenhere*) PHONE NUMBER (your phone

When the FIRE alarm is activatedby the smoke/fire detector(s), thealarm responds exactly as describedunder BURGLAR ALARM ACTIVATED,except:

- The console display reads “FIREALARM! ZONE NAME TRIPPED”

- The interior sounder will pulseon and off to distinguish thefire alarm from the burglaralarm.

- The outside siren will pulse onand off to distinguish the firealarm from the burglar alarm

- The Central Station (if used)will receive a FIRE ALARM sig-nal.

- The voice dial out order will bedetermined by the FIRE DIAL OR-DER instead of the BURGLAR DIALORDER. The message delivered tothe called party is “FIRE ALARM(your address here*) ...EMER-GENCY... EMERGENCY... THE FIREALARM HAS BEEN ACTIVATED AT THEFOLLOWING ADDRESS: (Your addresshere*) PHONE NUMBER (your phonenumber here) PLEASE RESPOND IM-MEDIATELY.”

The fire alarm takes priorityover the burglar alarm.

If you are having your systemmonitored by a central station, thecentral station will be sent a coderepresenting the type of alarm(medical emergency button.)

If you are not using centralstation monitoring but are usingthe voice dial out capability, thesystem looks at the MEDICAL DIALORDER to determine which number tocall first, and calls that number.


The message delivered to thecalled party when he answers andsays anything is: “MEDICAL EMER-GENCY ALARM (your address here*)...EMERGENCY ...EMERGENCY... THEMEDICAL EMERGENCY ALARM HAS BEENACTIVATED AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:(Your address is spoken here*)PHONE NUMBER (your phone numberthat is stored in SET-UP locationMY PHONE NUMBER is spoken here)PLEASE RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.”

The message is repeated twotimes. At any point during themessage, the called party can entera code as described in EMERGENCYDIAL OUT to log in and stop theModel 1503 from dialing any furthernumbers.

If the called party is busy,does not answer, or answers butdoes not enter a code, then theModel 1503 goes to the MEDICAL DIALORDER to determine the next numberto dial, and the next call is made.

- The console display will read“FIRE ALARM - FIRE EMG BTNTRIPPED”.

- The Central Station (if used)will receive a Fire EmergencyButton signal.

- The voice dialer dials out usingthe FIRE DIAL ORDER with thefollowing message: “EMERGENCY...EMERGENCY... THE FIRE EMERGENCYBUTTON HAS BEEN ACTIVATED AT THEFOLLOWING ADDRESS: (your addressis spoken here*) PHONE NUMBER(your phone number) PLEASE RE-SPOND IMMEDIATELY.

The FIRE EMERGENCY alarm can beturned off at any time by turningthe security system off or bypressing CANCEL.

When the last call is made in theMEDICAL DIAL ORDER, the housephones are reconnected and thesystem stops dialing.

- The console beeper continues tosound and the lights continue toflash until the alarm is turnedoff.

At any time, the alarm systemcan be turned off by the console.Medical alarms can also be turnedoff by pressing the CANCEL key.

DURESS CODE ENTERED or DURESSALARM ACTIVATED

(See DURESS CODE for a descrip-tion of when to use the DURESSCODE.)

In the event that you enter yourduress code, or a zone configuredas a duress zone is tripped, thesystem performs a silent dial outas follows:

- No alarms, lights or consolebeepers are activated. The sys-tem does not display the duressalarm.

- The system waits the dial outdelay, then begins to dial out.

If you are having your systemmonitored by a central station, thecentral station will be sent a coderepresenting the type of alarm(duress.)

If you are not using centralstation monitoring but are usingthe voice dial out capability, the

system looks at the BURGLAR DIALORDER to determine which number tocall first, and calls that number.


For the voice dialer, the systemdials the first number in the BUR-GLAR DIAL ORDER and delivers themessage: “EMERGENCY... EMERGENCY...THE BURGLAR ALARM HAS BEEN ACTI-VATED AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:(Your address is spoken here*)PHONE NUMBER (your phone numberthat is stored in SET-UP locationMY PHONE NUMBER is spoken here)THIS IS A SILENT ALARM. PLEASERESPOND IMMEDIATELY.”

*NOTE: Model 1503-LC systems do notspeak the address, only the phonenumber.

ALARM RESET

The alarm system will reset it-self after the outside siren hasbeen on for 4 minutes. When thealarm system resets, any zone thatis not in alarm is reactivated, sothe alarm system will be activatedagain if the zone is tripped. If azone has been left in alarm, i.e. adoor has been left open, it will beautomatically bypassed when thealarm resets.

The console display will indi-cate “(FIRE, BURGLAR or EMERGENCY)ALARM RESET” when this happens. TheFLASH FOR ALARM lights will con-


20

tinue to flash. The dialer willcontinue to dial until all numbershave been dialed.

ALARM CANCEL

At any time, you can silenceyour alarm system by pressing theSECURITY-OFF key and entering yourcode. If the system has reported,or is in the process of reportingan alarm to a central station, itwill send the alarm code followedby a code indicating that the alarmhas been canceled by the user.

If an alarm is canceled beforethe dial out delay has expired, thesystem will not report any alarm.

If an alarm is canceled during avoice dial out, the system hangs upimmediately, unless the recipientof the call has entered a master oraccess code.

TROUBLE INDICATIONS

The Model 1503 constantly moni-tors the alarm loops and severalinternal matters and will alert youif it detects trouble. The particu-lar trouble is indicated on thebottom line of the display and atrouble signal is given by beepingthe console beeper continuously, 2beeps per second.

When any trouble condition oc-curs, the console will beep twiceper second and continue to beepuntil the CANCEL button is pressedto acknowledge the trouble. Theconsole will say TRBL NOW (troublenow) if the trouble condition actu-ally exists while you are looking

at the console. It will say HADTRBL (had trouble) if the troublecondition occurred and then cor-rected itself.

The trouble indications andtheir meanings are shown below.

- ZONE NAME TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL:If the reading for a zone be-comes abnormal, trouble will beindicated on that zone. See SHOWTEST. Trouble in zones is usu-ally caused by excessive resis-tance in the contact and wiring.If the cause is not obvious,call your installer for service.

- AC POWER OFF TRBL NOW or HADTRBL: Indicated if the normalhouse current powering the Model1503 Control/Communicator isinterrupted for more than 3 min-utes. If this happens withoutgood cause, check the black wallmounted transformer to ensurethat it hasn’t come out of thewall socket; check to see thatthe socket has power; check thefuse on the Model 1503 Termina-tion Board in the Model 1503Control/Communicator to be surethat it is good.

- BATTERY LOW TRBL NOW or HADTRBL: Every hour, the Model 1503makes a dynamic test of the bat-tery. The charger is turned offand a load is placed on the bat-tery for 10 seconds, then thebattery voltage is read. If thebattery voltage is too low, thenthe console will indicate BAT-TERY LOW. If this happens, makesure that the battery is con-

21


nected and that the battery fuse(in line with the red wire con-nected to the battery in theModel 1503 Control/Communicator)is good. The BATTERY LOW indica-tion will remain until the nextbattery test is run, 1 hourlater, or when a SHOW TEST com-mand is given.

- COMMUNICATOR TRBL NOW: Indi-cated if the digital communica-tor (not the voice dialer) wasunable to make contact with theCentral Station after tryingboth numbers multiple times.This indication will remain un-til the digital communicatortries again (as a result of areportable alarm or event occur-ring) or until both phone num-bers are removed from the digi-tal communicator. If this hap-pens, there could be a problemwith the system, central sta-tion, phone line or the wrongphone numbers have been enteredin the digital communicator.Call your dealer for service.

- DEVICE FUSE TRBL NOW or HADTRBL: Indicated if there is aproblem with one (or more) ofthree solid state fuses on theModel 1503 Processor Module.

These fuses can be restoredwithout having to replace anything.They can be seen by opening theModel 1503 Control/Communicatorenclosure door and looking in theopening of the aluminum cover onthe door. At the bottom you willsee three small round componentslabeled PTC1, PTC2 and PTC3.

The three fuses are for (fromleft to right) the CONSOLES, theDEVICES and the HORNS. The CONSOLESare powered through the fuse la-beled CONSOLES. If the CONSOLESfuse is “blown”, then the consoleswill not be working. The DEVICESfuse powers the following devicesthat may be connected to the system(some are options:)- motion detectors- smoke/fire detectors- AUXiliary OUTputs (energy saverrelays)

- COMMUNICATOR outputs- OK TO ARM output- ARMED outputThe HORNS fuse powers the Inte-

rior siren and the Outdoor Siren.If it is hot, there is a fault inthe wiring to one of these devices.

To reset these fuses, the faultmust be cleared. Then, unplug theModel 1503 power transformer (orremove the tube type fuse on theTermination Board.) Disconnect,then immediately reconnect thebattery (within 10 seconds to re-tain your home control programs.)Wait a minute or two for the PTCfuse to cool. Then plug in thetransformer. If you do not feelcompetent performing such tasks,call your dealer for service.

NOTE: If the battery is discon-nected or the battery fuse is blownyou will get a DEVICE FUSE TROUBLEindication AND a BATTERY LOW indi-cation when the battery test oc-curs.

- PHONE LINE DEAD TRBL NOW or HADTRBL will be indicated if thephone line is dead for more than1 minute. If this happens, check


22

the LARGER of the two cables(marked PHONE LINE on the pro-cessor board) plugged into theModel 1503 Processor board to besure that it is firmly connectedat both ends.

To silence the trouble beeps onthe console, press the CANCEL key.If more than one type of troublehas occurred, the display will showeach one for two seconds. Pressingthe CANCEL key will acknowledge alltrouble indications.

If the trouble condition occursagain, the console beeper will beepagain. See SET-UP MISC., BEEP ONTROUBLE if you wish to disable thebeeper.

- SYSTEM FAILURE will be indicatedin the event that the console'salarm functions are no longeroperational. This may indicate awiring problem to the console ora more serious problem. Followthe procedure above for reset-ting the PTC fuses, or call yourinstaller for service.

CODES

All Model 1503 codes are 4 dig-its in length. A code can be anynumber from 0001 to 9999. Memorizeyour codes! Don’t give them toanyone who doesn’t need to knowthem.

MASTER CODE

The Master code allows you to doeverything. The owner of the systemshould have and use the mastercode.

AUXILIARY CODES

The auxiliary codes can arm/disarm security system, but cannotchange codes or be used to arm/disarm the system from outside thehome over the telephone. The auxil-iary code cannot be used to programthe security system mode (OFF,HOME, ASLEEP, AWAY.) Finally, theauxiliary codes cannot be used tobypass or restore zones.

There are four auxiliary codes.The number of the code (1 through4) used is recorded in the eventlog.

The first auxiliary code can beswitched on and off by time and dayof week if desired, making it idealfor use as a maid's code. See SET-UP CODES.

It is recommended that temporaryusers, such as baby-sitters, beassigned an auxiliary code.

DURESS CODE

If you are forced to disarm thesystem against your will by anintruder, disarm it as you normallywould, but use the DURESS CODEinstead of the master or auxiliarycode. The system will disarm nor-mally. No sirens will sound, nolights will flash, but the Model1503 will perform a silent dial outand say that this is a silentalarm.

To stop a silent dial out, turn yoursecurity system off the usual way,pressing SECURITY-OFF then your mastercode.

4. HOME CONTROL

The home control features of theModel 1503 make it easy and conve-nient to control almost any lightor appliance from the console orover the telephone. You may alsohave your heating and air condi-tioning (HVAC) system under controlof the system, which will allow itto save energy dollars by settingthe temperature appropriately whenyou are home, asleep or away. (TheHome Control functions have notbeen investigated by Underwriter'sLaboratories.)

Furthermore, the Model 1503 canbe used to program lights to makethe home look occupied as a deter-rent to potential thieves.

There are three methods that theModel 1503 uses to control differ-ent things:

1. X-10 Powerhousetm, Leviton andcompatible modules for lightsand small appliances

2. Model 1101 Programmable En-ergy Saver Modules (PESM) forcentral heating and air condi-tioning systems

3. Direct Relay Control (with orwithout Model 1102 ExpansionEnclosure) for sprinklers,lighting, electric heating, etc.

A MODEL 1503 VERSION 2 by itselfwill control:- 64 X-10 modules (four housecodes)

- 3 Model 1101 PESMs or directrelay controls

for a total of 67 control points.

With 4 Model 1102 Expansion Enclo-sures, the Model 1503 Version 2will control:- 64 X-10 modules (four housecodes)

- 64 Model 1101 PESMs or directrelay controls


A MODEL 1053-LC will control:- 16 X-10 modules (one house code)- 3 temperatures or direct relaycontrols


The Model 1503-LC cannot use Model1102 Expansion Enclosures.

X-10 POWERHOUSEtm MODULES

The Model 1503 controls lightsand appliances by sending commandsover your existing electrical wir-ing to special switches, outletsand modules, collectively referredto as MODULES. Each module (orgroup of modules) is assigned aHOUSE CODE and a UNIT NUMBER sothat the Model 1503 can control themodules individually. When a modulehears a command from the Model 1503for its house code and unit number,it executes the command.

The modules used for actuallycontrolling the light or applianceare industry standard modules manu-factured by X-10 USA, Inc. andLeviton Manufacturing Co. Levitonproducts are called “Leviton DecoraElectronic Controls (DEC)”. Themodules are sold by your dealer aswell as certain retailers such asRadio Shack, Sears, Home Depot andothers. Any module that is “X-10

24


When placing items under remoteor automated control, always givedue consideration to the safetyaspects of turning an appliance onor off without being present towatch it. For example, do not acti-vate dangerous appliances by remotecontrol or on a timed basis.

HOUSE CODES

All of your X-10 modules must beset to a HOUSE CODE that is con-trolled by your Model 1503. Eachhouse code can have 16 unit num-bers. See SET-UP MISCELLANEOUS,HOUSE CODE to see how to set thehouse code on your Model 1503. TheHOUSE CODE is set on each moduleusing the red dial. House codes areletters A through P.

UNIT NUMBERS

Each module has its own UNITNUMBER. More than one module canhave the same UNIT NUMBER if youwant to control multiple lightswith the same unit number. Moduleshave 16 possible unit numbers, 1through 16.

Model 1503 Version 2 systems have128 unit numbers. They are relatedto module unit numbers and housecodes, and Model 1102 ExpansionEnclosure unit numbers as follows:

MODULE TYPES

There are two basic types ofmodules, LAMP MODULES and APPLIANCEMODULES.

- Lamp modules are only for incan-descent lamps. These modules arecapable of dimming the lamps.Examples of lamp modules are theX-10 LM465 Lamp Module, WS467Wall Switch, WS4777 3-Way WallSwitch and the Leviton 6381 WallSwitch and 6383 3-Way WallSwitch. These will be referredto as LAMP MODULES.

- Appliance modules are for lampsor appliances, and can handlelarger loads, but cannot dimlamps. Examples are the X-10AM486 2 pin appliance module,AM466 3 pin appliance module,SR227 Split Receptacle Module,HD243, HD245 heavy duty modulesand the Leviton 6291 Wall Switchand 6293 3-Way Wall Switch.These will be referred to asAPPLIANCE MODULES.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT EXCEEDTHE RATINGS FOR THESE MODULES!

LAMP MODULES will not work withanything other than incandescentlamps (ordinary light bulbs.) NoTVs, VCRs, ceiling fans, appli-ances, etc. should be plugged intolamp modules. Damage can occur tothe module and the appliance.

ALL LIGHTS ON

To turn on all light modules, press theALL key, then the ON key.

The console will beep, and acommand will be sent that turns allLAMP MODULES on. Note that lampmodules that are currently dimmedwill remain at the same intensity;they will not get brighter. Appli-ance Modules do not respond whenthe ALL LIGHTS ON command is sent.

Only unit numbers 1 - 16 (and 81- 96 on the Version 2) respond tothe ALL-ON command.

Note: The ALL ON and ALL OFFfunctions can be changed, if de-sired. See PROGRAMMING ALL ONAND ALL OFF.

ALL OFF

To turn off all modules, including lampand appliance modules, press the ALLkey then the OFF key.

Only unit numbers 1 - 16 (and 81- 96 on the Version 2) respond tothe ALL-OFF command.

Note: On Model 1503 Version 2systems, you can set modules thatyou do NOT want controlled by ALLON and ALL OFF commands to thethird and fourth X-10 house codes,(units 97 - 128).

TIMED ON/OFF COMMANDS

The timed on/off commands allowa control output to be turned on oroff for a specified period of time.

Note: Only lamp modules and wallswitch modules marked “for incan-descent lamps only” will respond todim and brighten commands.

To dim a unit, press the UNIT-NUMBERkey, then enter the unit number (orscroll to it using the SHOW and SET-UPkeys) then press the * key on thekeypad.

The console display top linewill read “UNIT NAME DIMMER” (unitname being the description of theunit number you entered) and thebottom line will read “1-9 (STEPSDIMMER)”.

Press a number, 1 - 9 to indicate howmuch you want to dim the unit number.

1 is a little dimmer, 9 is a lotdimmer. Usually, 2 or 3 steps isbest. The console will beep and thelight will be dimmed.

To brighten a light, press the UNITNUMBER key; enter the desired unitnumber; press the # key on the keypadfor BRIGHTER, then enter the number ofsteps to brighten the light.

NOTES:

A lamp module that is OFF willcome on to full intensity when adim command is received, then dimthe number of steps that you en-tered.

A lamp module that is dimmed allthe way down, so that it looks OFF,is not actually off, and will notrespond to an ON command. It shouldeither be brightened or turned OFFthen ON to restore full intensity.

27


The output may be turned ON for 1-99 minutes, then OFF; or turned OFFfor 1-99 minutes then ON.

To enter a timed on/off command, pressthe UNIT-NUMBER key, enter the unitnumber (or scroll to it using the SHOWand SETUP keys), press the TIME key,enter the on/off time in minutes, thenpress the ON or OFF key.

For example, to turn unit 11 on for 10minutes then off, press UNIT-NUMBER,11, TIME, 10, ON.

To turn unit 3 off for 30 minutes thenon, press UNIT-NUMBER, 3, TIME, 30,OFF.

MOMENTARY ON/OFF COMMANDS

A special variant of the timedon/off command allows you to pulsean output on or off for three sec-onds. This feature can be usefulfor operating low voltage controlsystems (drapery motors, lightingcontrols, etc.)

Enter an on or off time of 0 to get a 3second output. For example, To turn aunit 2 on for 3 seconds then off, pressUNIT-NUMBER, 2, TIME, 0, ON.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Your Model 1503 can control tem-peratures of your heating and cool-ing system, monitor the outsidetemperature and detect high and lowtemperatures in special situations.Other appliances can be controlledby temperature as well - such as abathroom heater or a ceiling fan.

Temperature control starts withunit number 17. If you have twoheating and cooling systems, they

are usually unit numbers 17 and 18.Your dealer will explain your par-ticular installation.

MODEL 1101 PROGRAMMABLE ENERGYSAVER MODULE

The Model 1101 Programmable En-ergy Saver Module (PESM) providesenergy savings and convenience bysetting the HVAC system(s) to theproper temperature based on whetheryou are home, asleep, or away. Itcan be controlled over the tele-phone, and the temperature of thehome can be reported over thephone. A freeze alarm feature willcause a dial out if the temperaturefalls below a preset level. (TheModel 1101 PESM has not been inves-tigated by Underwriter's Laborato-ries.)

The Model 1101 PESM is a tem-perature sensor and control relayin a small enclosure that mountsnear your central heating, ventila-tion, and air conditioning (HVAC)system thermostat. The PESM allowsthe Model 1503 to read the tempera-ture of the area that the HVACsystem controls. When you are awayfrom your home or asleep, the PESMcan be set to allow the temperatureto drift higher or lower to reducethe operating time of the HVACsystem, hence saving energy dol-lars.

The PESM provides an energysaver function. When the energysaver is on, the HVAC system is setback, meaning that the temperatureis allowed to rise or fall to anenergy saving level. When the en-ergy saver is off, your thermostatoperates normally. Your thermostat

28


appropriate mode (HEAT, COOL or AUTO,if available) and set the temperatureto your preference.

Note that your heating and cool-ing system will always be off ifyou set your thermostat to OFFmode. The PESM cannot turn it backon.

To set up the Model 1503 for the energysaver, press SHOW, 1.

The display will show "ZONE NAMEON (or OFF) - TEMP 76 LO 65 HI85". (SHOW, 1 displays the statusof unit number 17. To go to unitnumber 18, press SHOW again, and soon. If you do not get this display,zone 17 is not set up as a tempera-ture type. Your dealer will ex-plain. Your temperatures may bedifferent from these.) TEMP is thecurrent temperature in the roomwhere the PESM is located.

To turn the PESM on, off or timed on/off, press ON, OFF or TIME.

To change the LO temperature to 65degrees, press *, 6, 5, ENTER.

To change the HI temperature to 85degrees, press #, 8, 5, ENTER.

With the energy saver ON, andTEMP between LO and HI (75, forexample) your HVAC system shouldstop operating.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a 3minute minimum on and off time forPESMs designed to prevent shortcycling your HVAC compressor. Ifthe PESM has just turned the HVACsystem on or off, it will wait 3minutes before changing it, eventhough the display does change.

should be set to the desired normaltemperature. Only when the energysaver is on will the temperature beallowed to deviate from your normalthermostat setting.

There are three temperaturesassociated with each Model 1101PESM:

- Temperature - this is the airtemperature read by the PESM.

- LO temperature - the air tem-perature will be allowed to fallto this temperature when theenergy saver is on.

- HI temperature - the air tem-perature will be allowed to riseto this temperature when theenergy saver is on.

You can turn the energy saveron, off, use a timed on/off andchange the LO and HI temperaturesfrom the console or by telephone.Commands can also be programmed sothat they occur by time schedule orby event, such as security modechange. For example, the system canbe set up to turn the energysaver(s) on and make the LO setbacktemperature 65 degrees and the HIsetback temperature 80 degrees whenthe alarm system is put in the“away” mode. Another program canturn the energy saver(s) off (toresume normal operation of the HVACsystem) at 4:30 P.M. on weekdays tomake the house comfortable beforearriving home. Different setbacktemperatures could be set for the“asleep” mode.

To set up your thermostat for use withthe energy saver, set it in the

29


When you are finished, press CANCELtwice to return to the time, date andstatus display.

There is an alternative way tocontrol energy saver modules usingthe UNIT-NUMBER key.

To turn energy saver module 17 off,press UNIT-NUMBER, 1, 7, OFF.

To turn energy saver module 18 on,press UNIT-NUMBER, 1, 8, ON.

To change the LO temperature of energysaver module 17 to 65 degrees, pressUNIT-NUMBER, 1, 7, *, 6, 5, ENTER.

To change the HI temperature of energysaver module 17 to 85 degrees, pressUNIT-NUMBER, 1, 7, #, 8, 5, ENTER.

To view the status of energy savermodule 17, press UNIT-NUMBER, 1, 7,ENTER. At this point, you may thenenter ON, OFF, *, or # to enter one ofthe commands shown above, or CANCEL ifno change is desired.

If you change the LO or HI set-back temperature, the system willinsure that there is always atleast four degrees difference be-tween the LO and HI temperatures byaltering the other setback tempera-ture as necessary. Note also thatPESMs are NOT affected by ALL ON orALL OFF commands.

FREEZE ALARM

PESMs can also be used to alarmpotential freeze conditions beforedamage to pipes and appliances canoccur. An alarm will be generatedif a temperature below 40 degreesis detected by any PESM in the

system. The alarm will not clearuntil the temperature exceeds 45degrees.

When the alarm is initiated, theconsole beeper will be turned onand an alarm dialout sequence willbe initiated after the normaldialout delay. Both voice and digi-tal communicator dialouts may beused. The voice dialout will followthe FREEZE ALARM ORDER as specifiedin SET-UP DIAL. The digital commu-nicator will report the FREEZEALARM CODE to the Central Station.

Inside and outside sirens arenot activated for freeze alarms.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE

A special version of the Model1101 PESM is available which may bemounted outdoors to read the out-door temperature. The zone used forthe outdoor PESM is set up as anoutdoor temperature zone type,rather than as a programmable en-ergy saver module zone type. Whenset up this way, the correspondingauxiliary output is not dedicatedto the PESM and may be used forother purposes. Also, freeze alarmswill not be generated by the out-door temperature.

If the outdoor PESM is connected tozone 19, the outdoor temperature may bedisplayed by pressing UNIT-NUMBER, 1,9, ENTER.

TEMPERATURE ALARMS

Temperature sensors can be usedto signal that a temperature (in aspecial room, like a greenhouse orwine cooler) has gotten too high ortoo low. If the temperature in thiszone goes above the HI setpoint orbelow the LO setpoint, the consolebeeper is activated (inside andoutside sirens are not activated)and the central station and/orvoice dialer is called.

The HI and LO setpoints arechanged as described for the PESM.Use the zone number that the tem-perature sensor is connected to inplace of the unit number.

NOTE: Setting a LO or HI tem-perature to 0 takes it out of ser-vice.

DIRECT RELAY CONTROL

The Model 1503 has three outputsthat can be used to switch relays.Two are Auxiliary Outputs 1 and 2,and they are available only if notused by a Model 1101 PESM. Thethird is the OK TO ARM output,which can be reassigned from thatfunction to a general purpose out-put by your dealer.

Auxiliary Outputs 1, 2 and theOK TO ARM output (if reassigned)are controlled as UNIT NUMBER 17,18 and 19 respectively. These arehardwired outputs that are con-nected directly through the Model1503 and not through a module. Ifyou have had something connected to

Outdoor temperature zones have aHI and LO temperature associatedwith them that can be used forcontrol purposes. An example wherethe bathroom heat is turned on ifthe outdoor temp goes below 60degrees is shown in the PROGRAM-MING section. HI and LO tempera-tures are changed the same way asthe PESM.

The outdoor temperature is an-nunciated over the telephone aspart of the status menu (main menuselection 6). It is also annunci-ated through the home control menuafter the unit number is entered.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL OFAPPLIANCES

You can control appliances con-nected to X-10 modules (such as aceiling fan) using the BUTTONSfeature of the Model 1503. Forexample, the ceiling fan can beprogrammed to come on if the tem-perature goes above the HI tempera-ture. (A programming example to setthis up is shown in the PROGRAMMINGsection.)

HI and LO setpoints for tempera-ture zones are changed the same wayas the PESM. Use the zone number ofthe PESM for “unit number” whenchanging the HI and LO setpoints.However, on/off control of theceiling fan may involve a differentunit number. Use the ceiling fan'sunit number to turn it ON or OFF.The PESM and the ceiling fan arelinked together by a button pro-gram.

31


these outputs, such as a sprinklersystem, your dealer will explainits operation.

Auxiliary outputs cannot bebrightened or dimmed.

Auxiliary outputs are NOT af-fected by ALL ON or ALL OFF com-mands.

The current status (on or off) of theauxiliary outputs can be seen on theconsole by pressing SHOW, 1(AUXiliaries)

MODEL 1102 EXPANSION ENCLOSURE(Model 1503 Version 2 only)

A Model 1503 Version 2 systemcan be expanded to control morepoints using one to four Model 1102Expansion Enclosures.

NOTE: When one or more Model1102s are used, zones and units 17,18 and 19 (auxiliary inputs andoutputs 1, 2 and 3) are moved fromthe Model 1503 to the first threezones and relays of the 1102.

The Model 1102 has 16 inputs orzones. These zones can be config-ured as burglary zones, fire zones,temperature inputs or as auxiliaryinputs for home control purposes.It also has 16 low voltage relaysthat can be controlled as unitnumbers.

Zones and unit numbers on Model1102 Expansion Enclosures are:

- 1st Model 1102: Zones 17 -32

Unit numbers 17 -32

- 2nd Model 1102: Zones 33 -48

Unit numbers 33 -48

- 3rd Model 1102: Zones 49 - 64Unit numbers 49 -

64- 4th Model 1102: Zones 65 - 80

Unit numbers 65 -80

The Model 1102 relays can switchlow voltage loads to control sprin-klers, operate lighting, motor andwater heater controls, etc.

SCROLLING THROUGH NAMES

The Model 1503 stores names forzones, units and buttons, so thatyou don't have to remember that“unit 5” is the “den light” and“zone 1” is the “FRONT DOOR”. Ingeneral, any time you need to entera zone, unit or button number, youcan press the SHOW key to displaythe first name, then use the SHOWand SET-UP keys (up and down ar-rows) to scroll through the list.This is true when entering commandsand programming on the console.

In a system with lots of units,you can also “guess” where a nameis by entering a number that youthink is close, then using SHOW andSET-UP to zero in on the right one.For example, pressing UNIT-NUMBER,4, SHOW, SHOW, 12, SET-UP, SET-UPwill display the name for unit 4,5, 12, and 11. Then you can pressON, OFF, TIME, etc. to operate unit11.

On Model 1503 Version 2 systems,the display will skip over unitnumbers that are unused. The system

32


determines which unit numbers toskip by looking at the number ofexpansion enclosures. If there arenone, then units 20 - 80 are notused. In scrolling up and down, thedisplay will jump from unit 19 tounit 81 when you press the up arrowkey, and from 81 to 19 when youpress the down arrow key. If expan-sion enclosures are installed, thedisplay will show the unit numbersused by the expansion enclosures.

If text descriptions of eachzone have been entered, there is nodiscernible gap in unit numbers.You can still enter any unit numberto access it directly, and thenscroll up and down among the unusedunits.

For example, pressing UNIT-NUM-BER, SHOW, SHOW... will display thenames of units starting with Unit1. When you get to unit 19, thedisplay will jump to Unit 81 ifthere are no expansion enclosures.

5. PROGRAMMING

Your Model 1503 can be pro-grammed to do its home control andsecurity functions on a time sched-ule or in response to an eventoccurring in the system. This sec-tion describes how to program theModel 1503.

You may program the followingitems:

- Unit Numbers - on, off, on fortime, off for time, dim,brighten

- Model 1101 Energy Saver Modules- on, off, on for time, off fortime, low setback temperature,high setback temperature

- Temperatures - lo and hi tem-peratures

- All Lights On, All Off- Security modes OFF, HOME,ASLEEP, AWAY, Bypass and Restore

- Buttons

These items can be programmed tohappen:

- Once on a certain date (One-timeprogram)

- Repeatedly (repeating programs)- In response to an event (buttonprograms).

Further, you can conditionalizeprograms so that they only rununder certain circumstances.

Your security system can be inany mode while you program, OFF,HOME, ASLEEP or AWAY. However, youmust enter your MASTER CODE if thesecurity system is in HOME, ASLEEP,or AWAY. If an alarm is activated

33


while you are programming, simplypress the CANCEL key to get back tothe status display. Then you cansee which alarm is sounding anddisarm the system. It is recom-mended that you program the systemwith the security system OFF.

PROGRAM STORAGE

When you program your system,programs are stored in a type ofmemory called battery backed RAM inthe Model 1503 Control/Communica-tor. These programs will not belost even if AC power fails, evenif the battery is dead (but notdisconnected). You will not have toreprogram your system every timethere is a power failure.

The Model 1503 will hold up to256 programs. The console willindicate “PROGRAM SPACE FULL” ifyou try to enter more than 256programs.

TIMED PROGRAMS

Programming home control andsecurity functions is exactly liketurning unit numbers on and off,bright, dim, etc., except you pressthe PROG key first to tell theModel 1503 that you want to programthis command instead of executingit now. Then you enter the command,just as you do when you are notprogramming, then you enter a timeand a date or days of the week thatyou want it to happen.

The console will then displaythe program that you have created,at which point you can press ENTERto store it in memory, or CANCEL tostart over at the PROGRAM menu.

How to Program will be demon-strated by the following examples.Please follow the example on yourconsole. These examples assume thatyou have modules set to unit number2 (Front Porch Light), 4 (BedroomLight) and an energy saver moduleon unit 17, that Today’s date isNovember 8 (11/08) and that thecurrent time is mid afternoon. Thesecurity mode should be OFF.

ONE-TIME PROGRAMS

One time programs run once, thendelete themselves from memory afterthey run. One time programs areprogrammed by time and a day of theyear. Three examples are given.

EXAMPLE 1. Program unit 4 (BEDROOMLIGHT) on at 6:00 PM today (11/08).

Press the PROG key.

If you leave for vacation,put the system in the AWAY mode,and this program will not execute!You can press ENTER to put thisprogram in memory, or CANCEL to goback to the PROGRAM menu.

Press CANCEL so that this program isnot stored.

You can program unit numbers tobrighten and dim, and you can pro-gram ALL LIGHTS ON and ALL OFFfunctions by substituting ALL ON orALL OFF for the UNIT NUMBER ON orOFF keystrokes. The display willguide you.

Some other programming sugges-tions:

- Program a radio or TV to come onin your bedroom for workdaysonly. No more forgetting to setthe alarm clock, no more alarmson weekends.

- Program bedroom light on rightbefore bedtime, off at bedtime.

- Program lights on in kids roomswhen time to rise and shine forschool.

- Program a lighting schedule thatoperates only when the securitysystem is in the AWAY model togive the house a lived in ap-pearance.

- Program the security system toHOME at bedtime on weekdays, ifit was previously off.

PROGRAMMING THE SECURITYSYSTEM

NOTE: In UL Listed Installa-tions, timed or conditionalizedsecurity system programs shall notbe used.

As you have seen in Example 6,the Model 1503 offers the conve-nience of programming the securitysystem on or off on a time sched-ule. You can program the system ONin the HOME mode on weekday nightsso that you can be assured of secu-rity even if you forget to arm thesystem, and OFF on weekday morningsso that you don’t have to rememberto turn it off every morning.

There are two items to note inprogramming the security system:

1. We suggest programming thesecurity system ON in the HOMEor AWAY modes, rather than theASLEEP mode, because there is no

38


Go to Bed (Button 3):- turn off all lights- dim outdoor lights 20% to extendbulb life and reduce consumption

- arm security in ASLEEP mode

Watch TV- dim the den lights- turn off the bedroom and livingroom lights

- arm security in HOME mode

To activate a preprogrammed but-ton, press its number, then ENTER(i.e. 1, ENTER). Remember to lookfor “SYSTEM OK” on the displaybefore using a macro to arm thesecurity system.

For extra convenience, certainbuttons are automatically activatedwhen you change security modes, orwhen security zones open and close.This powerful feature allows you toset your system up so that homecontrol functions are performedwhen you arm your security system(such as turning off all lights andsetting back the HVAC system). Doorcontacts and motion detectors canbe used to turn on lighting auto-matically, then turn it off a fewminutes after the person has left,and then only if it’s dark.

PROGRAMMING BUTTONS

For each command that a buttonwill activate, you enter a programlinking the command with the buttonthat activates it. There can be asmany programs for one button as youlike, up to the memory limit of 255programs.

The procedure for programming abutton is:

entry delay in the ASLEEP mode.If you forget and come home lateone night, the security systemwill be on, but the entry delaywill allow you to turn it offbefore the interior soundercomes on.

2. If you program the system todisarm itself, be sure toconditionalize it as shown inExample 6 so that it won’t dis-arm when you don’t intend itto.

BUTTONS

A powerful feature of the Model1503 is the ability to programBUTTONS. A BUTTON is a number onthe keypad, 0 - 200, that is pro-grammed to run a series of commandswhen it is pressed. (In computerjargon this is called a MACRO.)Buttons are used to program func-tions that are specific to yourhome and life-style. Using a but-ton, you can activate several com-mands at once.

Following are some examples ofButtons:

Leave for Work (Button 1):- turn off all lights- turn on the energy saver- arm the security system in theAWAY mode

Dinner for Two (Button 2)- dim the dining and living roomlights

- turn on the porch light- turn off all the bedroom lights- dim the den light- turn on the stereo

39


- Press PROG, * (for program abutton)

- Enter the button number, thenENTER

- If a conditional is desired,press *, then the conditional(i.e. *, PM for “if dark”)

- Enter the command (i.e. UNIT-NUMBER, 2, ON)

- Press ENTER to save the programin memory.

Repeat this procedure for eachcommand that you want a button toperform.

You can also name the button sothat a description of the buttonappears on the display. (See SETUP NAMES...)

EXAMPLE 1: Program button 3 as a GOTO BED button, which will turn offall lights, dim the porch light andarm the security system in theASLEEP mode:

Press PROG.

The PROGRAM: menu will appear onthe display. One of the options is* for BUTTONS.

Press *.

The display will read “PROGRAMBUTTON #: 0 - 200 ENTER”.

Press 3, (or the SHOW key to scrollthrough the buttons) then the ENTERkey.

The display top line will read“PROG BUTTON 3:”. If the buttonname “GO TO BED” has been set up,the display will read “PROG GO TOBED:”. The bottom line will read

“UNIT# ALL SEC 0-200 *IF”, indi-cating that your next choices arethe UNIT# key, the ALL key, one ofthe SECurity keys, another button(0-200) or a conditional (*IF).

Press ALL, OFF.

The display will read “GO TOBED: ALL OFF”

Press ENTER to commit this program tomemory.

The console will beep once andreturn to the PROGRAM display. Nowwe enter the next program for but-ton 3:

Press *, 3, ENTER.

The display will again read“PROG GO TO BED: UNIT# ALL SEC 0-200 *IF”.

Press UNIT-NUMBER, 2 (or press the SHOWkey twice), * (for “dim” at this menu),2.

The display will read “PROG GOTO BED: FRONT PORCH DIM 2”

Press ENTER.

The console will beep and theprogram will be entered intomemory. Now enter the final programfor button 3:

Press *, 3, ENTER

The display will again read“PROG GO TO BED: - UNIT# ALL SEC 0-200 *IF”.

Press the ASLEEP key, then enter yourMASTER CODE.

40


TO RUN BUTTON PROGRAMS

Any time you want to activate theprograms entered for a button, pressthe button number, then ENTER from thetime, date and status display.

To run the BUTTON 3 programs in theexample above, first look at thedisplay to see that it is displayingtime, date and status. (If not, presscancel until it does.)

Press the 3 key on the keypad, thenSHOW.

The display will read “RUN GO TOBED - ENTER CANCEL”

Press ENTER.

The programs will be run. Theconsole will beep once and displaythe number of programs found forBUTTON NUMBER 3, then return to thetime, date and status display.

You may omit pressing the SHOWbutton if you wish.

If you do not wish to run thebutton programs, press CANCEL in-stead of ENTER.

If no programs are found for thebutton, the console will beep threetimes and read “ 0 PROGRAMS RUN”,then return to the time, date andstatus display.

TIMED PROGRAMMING OF BUTTONS

NOTE: In UL Listed Installa-tions, Timed Programming of Buttonfunctions which control the secu-rity system (i.e. arming and dis-arming) shall not be used.

The display will read “GO TOBED: MASTER ASLEEP”

Press the ENTER key.

The console will beep once andthe program will be entered intomemory. Button 3 is now programmedfor the GO TO BED example.

TO SEE YOUR BUTTON PROGRAMS

To see the programs for BUTTON 3, pressCANCEL to get back to the time, dateand status display. Now press SHOW,PROG, *, 3, ENTER.

The first program for BUTTON 3will appear on the display.

Press SHOW to see the second and thirdprograms for BUTTON 3.

If there are no more programs inmemory for BUTTON 1, then the dis-play will show “NO MORE PROGRAMS”and return to the last program. Theconsole will beep three times. Youcan press SET-UP to go back throughthe programs for BUTTON 3. SeeSHOW PROGRAMS for more informa-tion.

Press CANCEL twice to exit the SHOWPROGRAMS menu.

You can enter more programs forBUTTON 3 or any other button when-ever you wish using PROG, *.

To brighten or dim lights, or toprogram other security modes onbuttons, or to bypass or restorezones, simply substitute thosecommands for the ones shown in theexample.

41


Buttons can be programmed to runon a time and date or day scheduleexactly as any other command. But-tons can be programmed as one-timeprograms or repeating programs.

EXAMPLE: Program BUTTON 2 to run at6:00 PM every weekday,

Press PROG (from the time, date andstatus display)

Press 2, ENTER. (The button number thatyou wish to program)

The display will read “RUN BUT-TON 2: 12:00 AM 11/08 *IF”.

Press TIME, 6, 0, 0, PM.

Press DATE-DAY, DATE-DAY, 8, ENTER.

The display will now read “RUNBUTTON 2: 6:00 PM MTWTF— *IF”. Ifa name has been set up for button2, the display will show the nameinstead of BUTTON 2.

Press ENTER to commit the program tomemory, or CANCEL to quit.

If this program is entered, theModel 1503 will run all of theBUTTON 2 programs every weekday at6:00 PM.

To program other buttons, simplysubstitute the desired button num-ber in the above example.

ZONE ACTIVATED BUTTONS

Every security zone on the Model1503 can be used to trigger homecontrol events. For example, theburglar alarm contact on the frontdoor can turn on the front foyer

light and upstairs hallway lightwhen the door is opened, if it’sdark outside.

Another example is that a motiondetector can be used to turn alight in a hallway on for 5 min-utes, then automatically turn itoff.

This feature is implemented us-ing BUTTONs. Every security zoneautomatically activates one buttonwhen the zone is opened, or inalarm, and another button when thezone is closed, or secure. Forexample, when zone 1 is opened, theprograms for BUTTON 11 are ex-ecuted. When zone 1 is closed, theprograms for BUTTON 10 are ex-ecuted. The button programs areactivated regardless of the zonetype and whether or not the secu-rity system is armed.

Programs for zone activated but-tons are only run once, when thetransition takes place.

Other Buttons are automaticallyactivated when the fire, police, ormedical emergency alarms are acti-vated.

Table 1 in the appendix showswhich buttons are activated foreach zone.

EXAMPLE 2: Program the stairwelllight (unit 5) on for 5 minuteswhen the stairwell motion detector(zone 6) is activated. From Table1, we determine that the zone 6activates button 21 when it goes

42


into the alarm state. So we programbutton 21 to turn unit 5 on for 5minutes.

Press PROG, *(button), 2, 1, ENTER,UNIT-NUMBER, 5, TIME, 5, ON.

The display should show “WHEN Z6ALM: - STAIRWELL ON FOR 5”.

Press ENTER to commit the program tomemory.

SECURITY ARMING ACTIVATEDBUTTONS

Certain buttons are automati-cally activated upon security arm-ing status changes. These buttonsare activated when the system isput in the OFF, HOME, ASLEEP, orAWAY modes. When arming the systeminto the HOME, ASLEEP or AWAYmodes, the button is activatedafter the EXIT DELAY. Programs thatchange the security arming modeactivate these buttons. Quick arm-ing also activates these buttons.

Table 1 in the Appendix showswhich buttons are activated bywhich zones.

EXAMPLE 3: Program the AWAY modeto turn off all lights and turn onthe energy saver (unit 17). FromTable 1, we determine that button178 is activated when the securitysystem is armed in the away mode.

Press PROG, *(button), 1, 7, 8, ENTER,ALL, OFF.

The display should read “WHENAWAY: - ALL OFF”.

Press ENTER to commit the program tomemory. Continue programming:

Press *(button), 1, 7, 8, ENTER, UNIT-NUMBER, 1, 7, ON.

The display should read “WHENAWAY: - ENERGY SAVER ON”.


CONDITIONALIZED PROGRAMS

NOTE: In UL Listed Installa-tions, conditionalized programsshall not be used to control thesecurity mode.

Timed programs and event buttonsmay be conditionalized such thatthe programmed command is onlyexecuted if the specified conditionis true. Programs may beconditionalized by:

- Darkness (using the sunrise/sunset calculation)

- Time Clock 1 - 3 on or off- Zones closed/secure or open/inalarm

- Security mode (OFF, HOME,ASLEEP, or AWAY).

A program conditional may bespecified by selecting the *IFoption from the programming menu bypressing the * key. If no condi-tional is specified, the programmedcommand will always be executedwhen activated.

To allow a program to only be executedif it is light outside, i.e. aftersunrise but before sunset, press *, AM.

To allow a program to only be executedif it is dark outside, i.e. aftersunset but before sunrise, press *, PM.

To allow a program to only be executedif time clock 2 is on/enabled, press *,TIME, 2, ON.

To allow a program to only be executedif time clock 3 is off/disabled, press*, TIME, 3, OFF.

To allow a program to only be executedif zone 5 is closed/secure, press *, 5,OFF.

To allow a program to only be executedif zone 13 is open/in alarm, press *,13, ON.

To allow a program to only be executedif the system is in a particularsecurity mode, specify the securitymode after *IF. For example:

To allow a program to only be executedif the system is in the ASLEEP mode,press *, ASLEEP.

The display will then show theselected program conditional:

When programming buttons, theconditional must be selected beforethe command for that button isprogrammed.

Example 4: Turn the foyer lighton (unit 1) when the front door isopened (zone 1, therefore button11) if dark.

Press PROG, *(BUTTON), 1, 1, ENTER,*(IF), PM, UNIT-NUMBER, 1, ON.

The display should read “PROGWHEN Z1 ALM: IF DRK UNIT 1 ON”


When programming timed programs,the conditional can be added at anytime during the programming se-quence.

Example 5: Program the livingroom lamp (unit 7) on for 45 min-utes at 6:30 PM Monday, Wednesdayand Friday if AWAY.

PROG, UNIT-NUMBER ,7, TIME 4, 5, ON,TIME, 6, 3, 0, PM, DATE-DAY, DATE-DAY,MON, WED, FRI, ENTER, *(IF), AWAY.

The display should read “LIVINGROOM ON FOR 45 - 6:30 PM M-W-F IFAWY”. Press ENTER if you wish tocommit this program to memory. Theliving room light will only come onif you are away, giving the house alived-in look.

The three Time Clocks are usedsolely to define time periods dur-ing the week when certain programsshould be enabled or disabled. Forexample, it may be desirable toconditionalize certain programs to

occur only during a normal Mondaythrough Friday 9:00 - 5:00 workweek. Enable and disable times foreach of the three time clocks maybe specified under SET-UP MISC,TIME CLOCKS.

BUTTONS ACTIVATING OTHER BUTTONS

It is possible to program a but-ton to activate another button.This advanced programming techniquecan be used to have a common groupof programs run on the occurrenceof different events, or to programmore complex conditional statementsthan can be defined using the stan-dard program “if” conditionals.

For example, to turn on fourlights if either of two doors isopened, a series of programs likethe following could be used:

- PROG * 11, ENTER (when door 1 inalarm): 190, ENTER (run button190)

- PROG * 13, ENTER (when door 2 inalarm): 190, ENTER (run button190)

- PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 1 ON- PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 2 ON- PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 3 ON- PROG * 190, ENTER: LIGHT 4 ON

By using this capability in con-junction with the standard program“if” conditionals, it is possibleto string together a series ofprograms to create a logical “and”function.

As a simple example, the follow-ing sequence of programs could beused to turn on a light when a dooris opened if it is dark outside andif the system is in the away mode:

By using this capability in conjunction withthe standard

program “if” conditionals, it is possible tostring

together a series of programs to create alogical “and”

function.

As a simple example, the following sequenceof programs

could be used to turn on a light when a dooris opened if

it is dark outside and if the system is in theaway mode:

RUN BUTTON 179 WHEN DOOR INALARM IF DARK

LIGHT ON WHEN BUTTON 179 IFAWAY

Note that in both of the above examples,button 179 was

used as part of the logic. Any other buttonthat is

otherwise unused in the system, such asbuttons 180-200 or

buttons associated with unused securityzones, could have

been used as well.

A more complex “and” statement could beconstructed as

follows:

RUN BUTTON 180 WHEN BUTTON179 IF ZONE 1 SECURE




- PROG * 11, ENTER (when door inalarm): *(if), #(dark): 191,ENTER (run button 191)

- PROG * 191, ENTER, *(if), AWAY:LIGHT ON

Note that in the above examples,buttons 190 and 191 were used aspart of the logic. Any other but-ton that is otherwise unused in thesystem, such as buttons 181-200 orbuttons associated with unusedsecurity zones, could have beenused as well.

A more complex “and” statementcould be constructed as follows:

- PROG, *, 189, ENTER, *, 1, OFF(if zone 1 secure): 190, ENTER(run button 190)




In this case, programs associ-ated with button 193 will onlyexecute when button 189 is acti-vated and zones 1 through 4 aresecure.

NOTE: When a button activatesanother button, the Model 1503 willexecute all of the programs associ-ated with the first button beforeany of the programs associated withthe second.

45

Model 1503 Owner'sManualIn this case, programs associated with button

183 willonly execute when button 179 is activated

and zones 1through 4 are secure.

Continue: *, 180, ENTER, UNIT-NUMBER,5, ON, ENTER.

Continue: *, 180, ENTER, UNIT-NUMBER,9, ON, ENTER.

NOTE: When you program buttons179 or 180, the ALL OFF and ALL ONcommands become buttons instead ofcommands. If you program an ALL OFFor ALL ON as part of another button(i.e., * 178 for “when away”) thereprogrammed ALL OFF or ALL ON willbegin to execute after all othercommands for the calling button.This may make an unexpected changein the order that the commands getsent out. For example, the twoprograms:

- *, 178, ENTER (when away): ALLOFF

- *, 178, ENTER (when away): UNIT1 ON

will turn all units off and thenunit 1 back on when security isarmed in the AWAY mode if button179 (ALL OFF) has not been pro-grammed. If button 179 is pro-grammed, the Model 1503 puts button179 in its button queue, which canonly start executing after it fin-ishes any other buttons in thequeue, including the calling button- in this example, button 178 (whenaway.) So in this case, Unit 1 isturned on before the reprogrammedALL OFF commands are sent.

PROGRAMMING ENERGY SAVERMODULES

Your Model 1503 can be pro-grammed to control your tempera-tures based on a time schedule

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not program abutton to call itself (for example:PROG, *, 190, ENTER: 190, ENTER).You will create an endless loopthat could prevent other programsfrom running. It could also causethe console to appear to "lock up".If this happens, press the resetbutton in the Model 1503 Control/Communicator to restore the con-sole. Delete the errant programs.

PROGRAMMING ALL ON / ALL OFFCOMMANDS

The ALL ON and ALL OFF commandscan be programmed as a button in-stead of having a fixed action.This feature allows you to custom-ize the lights that are affected bythe ALL ON and ALL OFF commands.

When you press ALL, ON on theLCD Console (or using a phone) thesystem will now look for programsfor BUTTON 180. If there are none,then the system will perform theusual ALL ON command. If you haveentered programs for BUTTON 180,the system will execute those pro-grams instead of the usual ALL ON.

Similarly, the ALL, OFF commandwill check for programs for BUTTON179. If there are none, then thesystem will perform the usual ALLOFF command. If you have enteredprograms for BUTTON 179, the systemwill execute those programs insteadof the usual ALL OFF.

EXAMPLE: Program the ALL ON com-mand to only turn on unit numbers1, 5, 9.

Press PROG, *, 180, ENTER, UNIT-NUMBER,1, ON, ENTER.

(like a programmable thermostat),and by buttons - for example, yourmode of security. Therefore, yourtemperatures are adjusted for yourreal-life schedule for maximumcomfort and energy savings.

Following is a programming ex-ample for temperature control basedon security modes and button 1,which we call “Vacation”.

Programs for “when securityoff:”

- PROG, *, 175 (when securityoff), ENTER: UNIT-NUMBER, 17,OFF. (Turns energy saver offwhen you disarm security so yourthermostat works normally.

- *, 175, ENTER: UNIT-NUMBER, 17,*(lo temp) 65. (Sets winter set-back temperature.)

- *, 175, ENTER: UNIT-NUMBER, 17,#(hi temp) 85. (Sets summer set-back temperature.)

Programs for “when asleep:”

- *, 177, ENTER: UNIT-NUMBER, 17,ON. (Turns on energy saver whenasleep.)

Programs for “when away:”

- *, 178, ENTER: UNIT-NUMBER, 17,ON. (Turns on energy saver whenaway.)

Programs for “Vacation:”

- *, 1, ENTER: UNIT-NUMBER, 17, *,50. (Sets vacation mode wintersetback)

- *, 1, ENTER: UNIT-NUMBER, 17, #,86. (Sets vacation mode summersetback)

- *, 1, ENTER: AWAY, master code.(Arms security and turns on en-ergy saver when you go into va-cation mode).

You may wish to add timed com-mands to change the setback tem-peratures and on/off status of theenergy saver modules to completeyour control strategy.

USING TEMPERATURES TO CONTROLAPPLIANCES

It is possible to set high andlow setpoints on all temperaturezone types. The temperature zonetypes are:

- Programmable energy saver module(PESM) (Type 80)

- Outdoor temperature (Type 81)- Temperature (Type 82)- Temperature alarm (Type 83)

The setpoints are set as de-scribed for programmable energysaver modules. The zone type is setup during installation by yourdealer.

Each of the setpoints may be setfrom 0 to 120 degrees. Setting asetpoint to 0 degrees disables thatsetpoint. The high setpoint mustalways be at least four degreeshigher than the low setpoint ifboth setpoints are used.

47


For each temperature zone, thesecure/alarm status of the zone isdetermined by the current tempera-ture of the zone in relation to itssetpoints. The zone is consideredto be in alarm if the current tem-perature is below the low setpointor above the high setpoint. Other-wise, the zone is secure.

Like ordinary security zones,the secure/alarm status of thesetemperature zones can be used asconditions for programs. Also,changes in the status of a tempera-ture zone will activate the eventbuttons associated with that zone.

EXAMPLE 1: Turn on a ceiling fanwhen the temperature in zone 17 ishigher than 75 degrees.

- PROG, *(button), 43 (when zone17 in alarm): UNIT-NUMBER, 10,ON, ENTER.

- *(button), 44 (when zone 17 se-cure): UNIT-NUMBER, 10, OFF,ENTER.

This assumes that the highsetpoint for zone 17 is set to 75degrees, the low setpoint set to 0,and that the fan is unit 10. Notethat “when zone 17 in alarm” and“when zone 17 secure” correspond toevent buttons 43 and 42, respec-tively. The display will show theactual unit names instead of thenumbers as you program.

EXAMPLE 2: Turn on the bathroomheat for 45 minutes at 6:30 AM,weekdays, if its below 60 degreesoutside and if the security systemis in the asleep mode. This example

will require a button activatinganother button, because we want toconditionalize the timed program bytwo things: the outside temperatureand the Asleep security mode, sothat the heat only comes on (1)when its cold outside, and (2) ifwe're asleep and not away.

The first program runs button190 weekdays at 6:30 AM, if we'rein the asleep mode. The secondprogram, button 190, turns on theheat for 45 minutes if the outdoortemperature zone is in alarm, mean-ing that the temperature is belowthe low setpoint.

- PROG, 190, ENTER (run button190): *(if), ASLEEP, TIME, 6, 3,0, AM, DATE-DAY, DATE-DAY, WEEK-DAYS, ENTER, ENTER.

- *(button), 190, ENTER (programbutton 190): *(if), 19, ON (ifzone 19 is in alarm): UNIT-NUM-BER, 12, TIME, 45, ON, ENTER.

The example assumes that theoutdoor sensor is on zone 19, thatits low setpoint is 60, highsetpoint is 0, and that the bath-room heat is unit 12. You couldhave another program to run button190, if asleep, at 8:30 on week-ends.

CHANGING AND DELETING PROGRAMS

When you create a program andpress ENTER, the program goes intomemory. You can change certainitems in a program or you can de-lete the program (remove it frommemory.) This is described fully inSHOW.

7. TELEPHONE CONTROL

Your Model 1503 is equipped witha built-in telephone response fea-ture that allows you to control andget the status of your system fromany Touch Tone phone.

The Model 1503 actually talks toyou using a digital recording of areal human voice, so the sound isstartlingly life like. You sendcommands to it using the keys ofyour Touch Tone telephone.

There are no tapes, discs orother moving parts associated withthe speech and control features, sothere is no maintenance or parts towear out.

PULSE AND TONE PHONES

There are two basic types ofphones in use, those that dialusing pulses, (rotary dial phonesare pulse type phones) and thosethat dial using tones. You can tellthe difference by listening to thereceiver when you dial: If you heara repetitive clicking when you diala number like 8, its a pulse dial-ing phone. If you hear a tone whenyou dial a digit, its a tone phone.

Only TONE phones will work withthe Model 1503. Some phones haveswitches that allow you to selectPULSE or TONE. Set them to TONE towork with the Model 1503.

You must have Touch-Tone servicefrom your telephone company. OnlyTONE phones can access your Model1503. PULSE phones cannot accessyour Model 1503.

You can still use pulse phonesin your home when you have a Model1503 installed, but you must WAIT 5SECONDS after picking up the re-ceiver to begin dialing with aPULSE phone. You do not have towait when using a TONE phone.

NOTE: There are two keys on yourTouch Tone telephone that are spe-cial. The # key (pound key, to theright of the zero), and the * key(star key, to the left of thezero). You will use these keys withthe Model 1503.

IN-HOUSE PHONES

Each time you pick up your tele-phone at home, the Model 1503 willalso pick up the line and listenfor a # (pound) key. (The # key isthe key to the right of the zero onyour touch tone phone.) If theModel 1503 does not hear the # keywithin 3 seconds, it hangs up anddoes not listen in again until thenext time you pick up your phone.If the Model 1503 hears any keyother than the # key while it islistening in, it disconnects itselfimmediately.

When the Model 1503 does hearthe # key within 3 seconds of yourpicking up the receiver, it discon-nects your phones from the phonecompany lines and connects yourphones to itself, and begins talk-ing to you. When you hang up, yourphones are immediately reconnectedto the phone company.


51

the OUTSIDE SIREN DELAY before theoutside siren starts, then you havethe DIAL OUT DELAY before the sys-tem disconnects the house phonesand dials out. Therefore, you haveOUTSIDE SIREN DELAY plus DIAL OUTDELAY to turn off your alarm usingan in-house phone once you hear theinterior sounder, indicating thatan alarm has occurred. Once theModel 1503 has begun to dial out,you must use the console to turnoff the alarm.

REMOTE PHONES

You may call your system fromany Touch Tone phone and “talk” toyour Model 1503, exactly as if youwere at home, except that you mustenter your access or master codesto gain access to the Model 1503.

To call your system from any touch tonephone, call your number. After 8 rings(or whatever you have set RINGS BEFOREANSWER to - see SET-UP DIAL) yourModel 1503 will answer and ‘beep’.Press the digits of your access ormaster code on the phone. The firstdigit must be pressed within 3 secondsof the beep. You will hear the menu.

If you hear three beeps afterentering the code, you have enteredthe wrong code. Try again. If youmake a mistake while entering thecode, press the # key and thenenter the code again. You havethree tries to enter a valid code.

A successful remote access islogged in the event log as a REMOTEPHONE ACCESS, along with the timeand date of its occurrence. If yousee that a remote phone accessoccurred and you don’t believe that

You will hear a slight click onyour phone when the Model 1503picks up or hangs up. This is nor-mal.

To access your Model 1503 from an in-house phone: Pick up the receiver ofany Touch Tone phone in your house.Pause for just a moment - about asecond - then press the # key on thephone.

You will hear the Model 1503’svoice read the menu, which tellsyou what commands are availableover the telephone.

NOTE: if your system is in HIGHSECURITY mode, you must also enteryour ACCESS or MASTER code follow-ing the # key. See HIGH SECURITYMODE. In UL Listed Installations,HIGH SECURITY MODE is enabled.

If you wish to disable the Model1503 telephone access feature, youcan change SET-UP item TELEPHONEACCESS to OFF. The Model 1503 willnot listen in for the # key on in-house phones, and will not answerremote calls, ever. See SET-UPDIAL for more information.

If the alarm system is tripped,the in-house phones will be discon-nected when the Model 1503 beginsto dial out, to preclude a burglarfrom jamming the line by shortingout an in- house phone. In thiscase, you will have to turn thesystem off at the console.

When using your in-house phoneto disarm your system, you have theENTRY DELAY time (usually 30 sec-onds - see SET-UP MISC) to turnoff the alarm before it sounds.After the alarm sounds, you have

52

Home Automation,Inc.it was authorized, you should

change your access and master codesto stop whoever made the calls.

There are a number of SET-UPitems that control what you can dofrom a remote phone when you oranyone else calls into your home.If you do not want to have theModel 1503 answer outside callsever, you can set ANSWER OUTSIDECALLS to NO. If you do not want toallow a remote caller to be able tocontrol anything, but still get thestatus of the system, you can setREMOTE COMMANDS OK to NO. You mayalso change the number of ringsbefore the Model 1503 answers bychanging RINGS BEFORE ANSWER. Noneof these set-up items affect theoperation of the Model 1503 overthe in-house phones.

PHONE ACCESS DENIED - REMOTELOCKOUT

The Model 1503 has a remotelockout feature to discourageyoungsters (and adults who act thatway) from trying to access yoursystem. If four invalid codes areentered, the system will hang upand a one hour lockout period willbegin. During the lockout period,the Model 1503 will not answer acall after any number of rings,which should discourage the caller.

If a lockout occurs, the eventPHONE ACCESS DENIED is entered intothe event log, along with the timeand date of its occurrence.

The one-hour lockout does notapply to in-house phones. The lock-out is cleared immediately if theModel 1503 is accessed using an in-house phone.

ANSWERING MACHINES

If you have an answering ma-chine, set it as you normally do.Most machines answer after 2 to 4rings. The Model 1503 should be setto answer after 8 rings. (8 ringsis the factory setting for theModel 1503.)

When you call your home, theanswering machine will answer as itnormally does. Cover the mouthpieceof the phone so that the answeringmachine doesn’t hear anything. Mostmachines will hang up in about 10seconds after playing your outgoingmessage.

If you have a machine with re-mote message capability, it willusually hang up after you checkyour messages.

About 1 second after the answer-ing machine hangs up, the Model1503 will pick up the line and makeits ‘Beep’. Enter your access ormaster code within 3 seconds of theModel 1503 beep.

Most answering machines beepwhen they hang up. Some beep whenthey stop recording, then stay onthe line while they reset theirtapes, then hang up. The Model 1503answers AFTER the answering hangsup. Do not confuse the answeringmachine beep with the Model 1503beep, which has a distinctive sound(more like a ‘meep’).


53

you press a number, the Model 1503stops talking and goes on to thefunction that you have selected.

If you press a key that is noton the current menu, you will hear3 beeps and the menu will be re-peated.

So that the Model 1503 does nottie up your phone, there is a 10 to15 second timeout that starts afterthe Model 1503 stops talking. If itdoes not hear any numbers from yourphone in 10 to 15 seconds after itstops talking, the Model 1503 willhang up. If it hangs up, you mustcall the Model 1503 again if youare on a remote phone, or hang up,wait a few seconds then pick up andpress the # key if you are on anin-house phone.

To hear the main menu again, press 0 onyour phone.

To cancel an operation, press * forCANCEL.

You will hear “CANCEL” and onebeep for a cancel operation.

If you make a mistake, you willhear 3 beeps, then the Model 1503will re-read whichever menu thatyou are on.

8. EMERGENCY DIAL-OUT

Emergency dial out consists oftwo distinct parts: the “digitaldialer” and the “voice dialer.”

DIGITAL DIALER

The digital dialer (also calleda “digital communicator”) reportsalarm events to a central stationmonitoring center. The digitaldialer sends a digitally codedmessage to the central station’sreceiver and computer. The com-puter in the central station pre-sents your name, address, andother information to a human op-erator, who notifies the appropri-ate authorities. Digital communi-cations to a central station aregenerally superior to voice commu-nications to friends and neighborsfor three reasons:

- there is always someone manningthe central station

- there is virtually no chance formisinterpretation

- personnel at the central stationare trained to respond.

The digital communicator willnot dial out until the DIAL OUTDELAY (SET-UP 2, MISC.) has ex-pired. If the alarm is canceledprior to the expiration of theDIAL OUT DELAY, no transmissionwill take place. If the alarm iscanceled after the DIAL OUT DELAYhas expired, all alarm trips willbe transmitted followed by a CAN-CEL code.

The communicator may be set upto automatically send a test codeto the central station on a dailyor weekly basis. This verifiesproper operation of the entiremonitoring system on a periodicbasis.

When the digital communicator isused, all voice dial outs will bedelayed for five minutes after theexpiration of the dial out delay toallow time for the central stationto call the premises.

If the digital communicator isunable to successfully communicatewith the central station, the con-sole will display the COMMUNICATORtrouble condition. (This troublecondition is reported by the voicedialer as “SECURITY PHONE MESSAGE”trouble.)

VOICE DIALER

In UL Listed Installations, theVoice Dialer is supplementary tothe DIGITAL DIALER described above.

The voice dial-out feature ofthe Model 1503 is a sophisticatedsystem that can notify you at theoffice, on vacation, on a pocketpager, or notify your neighbor, arelative, and in some cases, localauthorities.

Check with your local authori-ties to see what number your systemshould call. Be aware that in manymetropolitan areas, police and firedepartments do not allow a voicedialer to call their lines. If thisis the case in your area, you must


63

use a monitoring service if youwant the police notified when youralarm is activated.

As a preventative measureagainst phoning in a false alarm,you should have the system try tophone you, a neighbor and a rela-tive and then try you again. Thecalled party can stop the systemfrom calling the next number byentering the access code. If aneighbor can look out his windowand see that there isn’t a problem,then he can decide not to call 911or the police.

See WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEALARM IS ACTIVATED, and also seeSET UP DIAL.

HOW THE MODEL 1503 VOICE DIALERWORKS

The voice dialer performs dif-ferently depending on the type ofalarm that is activated, as fol-lows:

BURGLAR ALARM ACTIVATED: The voicedialer looks at the BURGLAR DIALORDER to determine which numbersto dial and in what order.

FIRE ALARM ACTIVATED: The voicedialer looks at the FIRE DIALORDER to determine which numbersto dial and in what order.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY BUTTON pressed:The voice dialer looks at theMEDICAL DIAL ORDER to determinewhich numbers to dial and inwhat order.

POLICE EMERGENCY BUTTON pressed:The voice dialer looks at theBURGLAR DIAL ORDER to determinewhich numbers to dial out inwhat order.

FIRE EMERGENCY BUTTON pressed: Thevoice dialer looks at the FIREDIAL ORDER to determine whichnumbers to dial and in what or-der.

FREEZE ALARM ACTIVATED: The voicedialer looks at the FREEZE DIALORDER to determine which numbersto dial and in what order.

A DIAL ORDER can have up to 8entries, allowing the dialer tomake up to 8 calls. If you want itto try a number twice, it can beentered twice in the dial order.

The dial order numbers can bechosen from DIAL OUT NUMBERs 1 - 4.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CALLED PARTY

The page titled "Instructionsfor Called Party" should be cop-ied, the copies filled out by youand then given to each person whomyou have programmed your system tocall. It tells them what to do, inbasic terms.

If you want to tell them how todo other functions, include thoseinstructions where it says “otherinstructions.”

For example:

- To get status, press 6. Press *when done.

- To hear events, press 7. Press *when done.

- To turn all lights on, press 4.- To turn all lights off, press 5.
