Your ADT home security installation is done quickly without the need to drill holes in your walls because the system is totally wireless. The various components communicate with each other over a distance through radio frequencies. This is advantageous for locating motion sensors in somewhat remote spotsm, giving you a broader range of coverage. Once installed, your security equipment operates in five basic ways.
Zones. The sensing devices included in your protective system are assigned to specific “zones.” Each zone has an identification number. For example, you may assign the motion sensor on your front door to zone 01 and the interior motion detector to zone 02, etc. When an event in a zone triggers the sensor, the zone number displays on your control panel.
Burglary Protection. Your ADT system is programmed with two burglary protection modes – STAY and AWAY.
- STAY Mode. This function protects only the perimeter of your premises and allows you to move around in your home without disturbing the sensors.
- AWAY Mode. This function protects the perimeter and everything inside.
Both of these modes can give you entry delay time so you have time to come back in the house after you have armed the system before triggering it. You can also choose to bypass certain zones, if you choose, before you arm the system. You can also set it to CHIME mode, which alerts you to normally protected doors or windows while the system is disarmed.
Otherwise, for your sensors to be active and trigger alarms when motion is detected, the burglary function in your keypad must be turned on using your security code.
Fire Protection. If you're using this option in your security system it will always be active. An alarm will sound if the correct conditions for smoke or fire are detected.
Alarms. When the conditions that trigger an alarm take place, your keypad and external sounders will sound for 15 or more seconds followed by a display on the keypad that shows the zone(s) causing the event. Once the zones are announced, the siren will begin to sound again. The cycle repeats until you enter the disarm code. Your system may also be connected to the monitoring center.
Security Codes.
During a home security installation, you're assigned a “master user” code – a 4-digit security number. This code is used for arming and disarming the system. You can use it to assign secondary security codes to up to six other users.
