An Eye-On Alarm â013 Alarm company for the San Francisco Bay Area

For all "ZX" Series EYE-ONs installed since January 1999. Your EYE-ON ALARM requires TWO Steps to arm and disarm the system.

The First Step is to select arming or disarming mode. There are three arming modes. See below. The Second Step is to enter your code.

Three Different Modes to Arm : (Away-Stay-Night.)
When you arm your EYE-ON ALARM, you must tell it what level security that you desire.

AWAY activates all doors and windows on the alarm, as well as all glassbreak detectors and motion detectors. This is for when the house is unoccupied.

STAY activates all doors and windows on the alarm. This is for when the house is occupied and making noise and movement during waking hours.

NIGHT activates all doors and windows on the alarm, as well as glassbreak detectors. This is for use during "quiet" hours typical to night time when movement is restricted to bedrooms.

EYE-ON ALARM Glossary:

Delay Zones: Permit entry/exit from building. Typically one minute out and 30 seconds in.

Instant Zones: Ring alarm immediately once triggered. These are non-entry doors, windows, glassbreaks and motion detectors.

24-Hour Zones: This is your smoke and heat fire protection.
Panic Keys: Located on Keypad. "always On." Press and hold for 3 seconds to activate.

Duress Code: Arms/disarms alarm while silently communicating a "hostage"signal to central station. Sends anytime you enter your four-digit duress code, regardless of "ready"light.

Code Address: Very important during combination changes! This tells the system how many codes you have and where your combinations are programmed into the system.

EYE-ON ALARM Operation

You must first select a function, and then your code.

To disarm: Press "Off/Cancel," then your "Code."

To arm when the premise will be vacant: Press "Away" and then "Code."

To arm while at home during waking hours: Press "Stay," then "Code."

To arm at home while sleeping: Press "Night," and then "code."

"The Beep Sound."
Your EYE-ON ALARM keypad will gently emit a high-tone warning sound to alert you to your "delay cycle."

Opening a delay door after your EYE-ON ALARM is armed will yield keypad sound until the system is disarmed.

Upon exiting, the keypad will beep until the "delay out"cycle has expired. To negate unwanted alarms, your EYE-ON ALARM begins a new "delay out"cycle if the original time-frame has elapsed. This deters unwarranted activity on your "going out" doors.

This delays cycle restarts only once.

Clearing Mistakes.
If you enter the wrong code, simply press the "clear" key on the bottom left of your keypad and then resume your arming or disarming sequence.

GRAND CENTRAL STATION (800-458-4519)

Your EYE-ON ALARM transmits digital emergency signals to our central station in Hayward, California.

Your alarm signal then gets converted to an electronic alarm and print-out which alerts and informs our dispatcher. Our Grand Central Station Operators then summons your local police or fire department, as well as yourself and any other confidential parties that you have on your emergency contact list.

Your call-list accuracy is critical! If you change home or work telephone numbers, then you must keep us updated immediately! This saves us valuable time during dispatch.

Grand Central Station runs round the clock to provide prompt and courteous response to all of your 24-hour alarm needs. Although they are not field technicians, the GCS Operators may assist you in many routine alarm problems.

Unwanted Alarm Events

Every "false alarm" has a true reason to occur.

Secondary users. major source. see below*.

Mechanically unsound doors or windows. If it does not lock and latch tightly, then it's most likely to activate an accidental alarm. "Big time" source when it rains.

Windows left open while arming your system will trigger the motion detectors inadvertently.

Drafty doors and windows may trip your alarm.

Heaters left on while away may cause an unwanted alarm event.

Rodents in attics and crawlspaces tend to chew wires.

Remodeling your space with our wires requires our involvement. Contractors not licensed in alarm work may get the system "to set," but to work reliably and not void your warranty, you need us.

Ignoring the "trouble light." Your EYE-ON ALARM wants you to know it needs your help. Don't arm with a trouble light without calling us!

* EYE-ON ALARM needs your full attention to stop unwanted alarm activity.
An accidental alarm often derives from secondary users like housesitters or janitors.
Train all who have keys to your premise on proper arming/disarming techniques. They must also know the central station number and password!

Beyond Arming and Disarming

You may bypass any "burglar" zone, activate a chime upon entry of a person through a door when the alarm is off, or activate an emergency signal for fire, police, or duress.

Bypass Zones:
"bypass zone two" (example.)
"4" plus "code."
"2" "enter.""enter."
note that you press "enter" twice.
"bypass multiple zones" example.
"4" plus "code."
"zone#." "enter."
"zone#." "enter." "enter."

Press "4" followed by your code. ("ready"- trouble" light flash.)

Press Zone Number to be bypassed, then press "Enter." (repeat "zone number, enter" for each additional zone to bypass.)

Press "Enter" again to save bypasses and re-access arming mode. After arming your system, if you press "4 + code", your bypassed zones will flash to show they are not active.

Changing Combinations: ZX200 and ZX300: Press "9". Enter code. (ready and trouble lights flash.) Press "2." Select 1-7 for "code address." (this tells system how many codes you have.) Press "Enter." Punch-in new four-digit code. Press "Clear" to save and exit. Test new code.

ZX400: Press "9." Enter code. (ready and trouble light flash.) Press "5." Select 1-48 for "code address." Press "Enter." Punch-in new four-digit code. Press "clear" to save and exit. Test new code.

24-Hour Emergency Functions on your keypad.
To activate your "fire" or "police" panic buttons, press the proper icon and hold for three seconds. The keypad and siren will sound. A signal will be sent to our central station. To activate your "duress" function, enter your four-digit street address after arming or disarming. There is no siren or keypad sound. A signal will be sent to central station. You do not need a "ready light." If your street address is shorter than four digits, add "0" to make four digits. If your street address is longer than four digits, then you just need to enter your first four numbers.

The Chime Feature beeps the keypad when the alarm is off to alert you when door or window that's been opened.

Activate Chime: Press "6." Press "code." Deactivate: repeat.

Trouble Check

EYE-ON ALARM monitors not only your house, but also the alarm itself.

EYE-ON ALARM watches for housepower failure, low battery, phoneline loss, or smoke detector integrity. Should any of your electronics go awry, your alarm diagnostics will alert you to the trouble condition.

Please do not hesitate to contact us in the event of a trouble light. Please consult the chart below prior to calling us. The problem may be easily identified and remedied by yourself.

To Check for Trouble once your Trouble Light is on:

Press "1."

Press "1" again.

A Zone Light appears to show the nature of the trouble condition.

Zone 1 light after trouble check shows a loss of housepower to your alarm. Check outlet and breaker.

Zone 2 light after trouble check shows low battery. Call EYE-ON.

Zone 4 light shows a fail-to-communicate status. Check any recent work done on your phone wiring. Call EYE-ON ALARM.

Zone 8 light shows the phoneline loss to the alarm panel.

DO NOT ARM YOUR SYSTEM WITH A TROUBLE LIGHT! Bad things happen to those who arm with a trouble light without our permission!

Smoke Detector Reset:
Shall you ever experience an alarm on your smoke detector zones, simply silence the system first by pressing off/cancel and then your code.
You'll then need to reset your smoke detector by pressing "7" followed by your four-digit code.
