Most of the questions we receive come from new homeowners acquiring a home with a Ranger American Home Security System already in the home. We have found many of our customer’s questions are simply “how~to” questions. To that end, we have published the most common questions and simple, straightforward answers. If you don’t find the answer to your question, download one of our User Manuals for our most popular equipment installed.

Not without a backup cellular communication device. Ranger does offer a cellular communication device that sends alarm signals without the need for a conventional phone line.
For security reasons Ranger Technology Solutions does not have any security master codes or user codes on file. Only the previous homeowner will have the code(s). In most cases, without the previous code, it is impossible for Ranger to reprogram your security system. You have 3 options to utilize your security system: contact the previous owner for the master code (the system will not be monitored), hire Ranger to install and program a new control panel only (which will still not be monitored), or contact Ranger (888 854-8773) for a security professional to share with you our monitoring packages which will include a new control panel as needed.
Call Ranger Technology Solutions 469-382-5254 for a free power-up and demonstration.
No, we have a pet friendly motion detector for pets that weigh less than 60 lbs. If your pet weighs more than 60 lbs, we recommend the use of glass break detectors which Ranger can easily install.

Quick Exit in Stay Mode
A programmable option, called Quick Exit may be displayed on the Security Screen while the system is armed in the Stay Mode. Pressing the Quick Exit button starts a timer to allow someone to exit or enter through a sensor‐protected door programmed for delay without having to disarm the entire system. When the delay timer runs out, the system returns to the normal Stay Mode. The Quick Exit option can be turned on or off by your installer, see “Installer Programmed Options” on page 38 to understand the options that have been programmed for your system.
To trigger an emergency alarm using a key fob, press the Away button and Disarm button at the same time for 5 seconds.
Three 24‐hour emergency functions are available on the Control Panel:
You can activate emergency functions using the Control Panel as well as wireless sensors, wireless keypads or from portable pendant devices such as the panic button remote. The + button displays the emergency screen. Just pressing the + button does not trigger an alarm. During the installation, your installer programmed the emergency buttons that are displayed on the Emergency Screen. If, however, no emergency functions are available, an information screen displays. To see which emergency functions are available on your system, press the + button.
In the event of an emergency, press and hold the emergency button for at least 2 seconds to activate the alarm.
