C ongratulations....... We at ITI hope you will find that your decision to install the revolutionary CareTaker system will result in such improvements in your sales, installation and service productivity as well as customer acceptance that you will become a steady CareTaker installer and seldom have to refer to this manual. However, because CareTaker employs several new concepts in control and programming as well as a completely re-designed wireless section and components, even those familiar with current ITI systems will want to review the information in this manual carefully. 1. CareTaker Installation THE THREE SECTIONS 1.1 A Guided Tour highlights the major features and options of CareTaker and describes the new concepts involved and how they work. The CareTaker CPU, it s plug-in modules, accessories and sensors are functionally described. 1.2 Programming is a step-by-step guide for the first time installer which will show how to set up a CareTaker unit and a Touch Tone@ phone so that you may talk with CareTaker and explore it s many features and become familiar with various accessories and sensors or set up a system for an actual job. 1.3 Installation covers application considerations, mounting, wiring, adjustment, etc. for each type of sensor and accessory as well as the main CPU itself. 1.4 Testing and Troubleshooting describes a procedure for testing your installation using several unique test features of CareTaker and discusses builtin self tests. 2. Wireless Sensors 2.1 Application and Installation of the growing family of Wireless Sensors from ITI 3. Summing It Up 3.1 Quick Reference Guide to commands, sensor group characteristics and wiring diagrams as well as information about FCC rules and specifications. Note.

SECTION 1 1.1 A Guided Tour - System Overview A GLANCE AT FEATURES Touch Tone phones control the system with voice responses using either on-premise or off-premise phones Touch Tone phones program system - no special programmer needed Alarm memory remotely accessible by service technician with service access code Optional wireless receiver module with at least 500 open air range works with up to 30 lithium battery powered sensors Optional digital communicator uses conventional Ademco/Sescoa format Optional hardwire modules provide 12 or 24 zones Optional Energy Saver allows remote reading and control of temperature Optional Voice/Siren Driver delivers voice annunciation of alarm as well as siren Three remote Touchpad options available - hand-held wireless, wall mounted wireless and hardwired with speaker and indicators 12 Volt backup battery automatically tested daily under load The Intelligent Connection The first thing that may strike you when you remove CareTaker from the box is the lack of keyboards and display digits. They are simply not necessary because of the unique way CareTaker is able to voice communicate with and be controlled by the operator using conventional Touch Tone phones - an instrument much more familiar to them than the often threatening, complex controls on many of today s alarm systems. Not to worry. Remote Touchpads in both hardwire and hand-held wireless versions are available for CareTaker for those who may prefer them. These will be described later. And there s more! Not only can the user communicate with CareTaker by phone, so can the service technician. Imagine calling a subscriber s system on the cellular phone in your service vehicle and bypassing a swinger! 3
