Arming & Disarming The System

How to Arm the System before Exit

Preparing the System for Arming

Verify that all zone indicators are off, when all zones are closed (all doors, exits and windows are closed and motion in the protected area is restricted or bypassed), the system is ready to be armed. If one or more zone indicators are illuminated, it displays the open zones.

Close open zones, or bypass them. Bypass any zone you cannot close, indicator flashes indicating bypassed zone(s).

Note: Bypassed zones are not protected.

Arming the System

Before leaving premises the system has to be armed.

Arming the alarm system will turn on all detectors in the partition /s being armed.

Enter user code and then [ENTER] to arm the system.

There is a exit delay prior to the system being armed. During this delay time, a slow beeping is heard to indicate that the system is not armed yet and reminds you to leave the protected area.

The A ,B or C indicator lights up to indicate that the system is armed.

(The indicators may go out few seconds after exit delay expired, depending on the installer’s setting).

If you must disarm the system during the exit delay, press [ARM].

Quick Arm (When enabled by the installer)

Press [ARM] to arm the system.

The A, B or C indicator lights up to indicate that the system is armed.

During exit delay time, a slow beeping is heard reminds you to leave the protected area.

Disarming the System

Enter User’s code and press [ENTER]. The A, B or C indicator goes off to indicate that the system is disarmed.

Stopping Resetting Alarms

In case of an alarm condition

Enter User’s code and press [ENTER] to stop alarm any time, and turn off any audible sirens.

How to Arm the System when Staying Home

Arming the System in Stay Mode

This type of arming is used when people are present within the protected area. At nighttime, when the family is about to retire, perimeter zones are protected, but not the interior zones. Consequently, interior movements will be ignored by the system.

To arm Stay mode press , enter user code, and then .

The A, B or C indicator flashes to indicate that the system is armed in stay mode.

Quick Stay

When enabled by the installer, press [STAY] to arm the system.

During exit delay you can leave the premises. If you wish to stay or that no one will enter the protected premises, you may cancel the Entry/exit delay by pressing the [ENTER] key. The slow beeping stops and the system is immediately armed.

The A, B or C indicator flashes to indicate that the system is armed in stay mode.

(The indicators may go out a few seconds after exit delay expired, depending on the installer’s setting).

Disarming the System

Enter user’s code and press [ENTER], or press [STAY] if enabled by installer.

The A, B or C indicator goes off to indicate that the system is disarmed.

How to Arm Partitions

The protected area can be grouped into 3 separate partitions (A, B, C). The system can be grouped for User ‘s convenience to separate, in a business environment, the offices from the warehouse area, or in a private residence, the different areas in the home, e.g., separate downstairs living area, detached garage, etc.

To arm partition A enter user code for partition A
To arm partition B enter user code for partition B
To arm partition C enter user code for partition C

Note: to arming partition with code see page 8 “How to arm the system before exit”

During exit delay you can leave premises. At the end of the procedure the A,B or C indicator lights up to indicate that the partition A or/and B or C is armed .

(The indicators may go out after a few seconds, depending on the installer’s setting).

To disarm partition, see “Disarming the System”.

Bypassing

How to Bypass Zones

Bypass any zone that cannot be closed. You can bypass selected zones prior to arming. It is also used to temporarily exclude a faulty zone from service, which requires repair.

To bypass a selected zone, press [BYPASS], Bypass indicator lights up to indicate that the system is in bypass mode.

Enter the zone number (e.g. 01, 05, 12) one or more zones, the zone LED indicators lights up to indicate that the zone is bypassed, following press [ENTER], the Bypass LED flashes to indicate zone(s) bypassed.

While in the Bypass mode it is possible to bypass more than one zone, press [BYPASS], Bypass indicator lights up to indicate that the system is in bypass mode,

Add the zone number (e.g. 03) one or more zones, the zone LED indicators lights up to indicate that the zone is bypassed, following press [ENTER] , the Bypass LED flashes to indicate zone(s) bypassed .

To un-bypass zones, press [BYPASS], enter zone number (e.g.07,13),the zone LED indicators goes off to indicate that the zone is un bypassed and [ENTER].

Note: Disarming automatically un-bypasses all zones.

Chime Mode

A Chime (Day zone) is a detector that can be part armed while you are at home but working in another part of the building. It can be programmed to operate a buzzer or light to let you know you have a visitor.

To disable the Day (chime) zone , press [CONTROL] and [PROGRAM] , Control LED indicator lights up to indicate that Chime is disabled.

To enable Chime mode press [CONTROL] and [PROGRAM] Control LED goes off to indicate that Chime is active.

Emergency Alerts

Emergency Alerts

This three special key’s function is best programmed by your installer to suit your individual situation. Most commonly it is used in a panic situation.

These are a “PANIC” , “FIRE”, and “MEDICAL” alarm. When using the LED keypad the Panic alarm can be generated by either the single “Panic” button or by the simultaneous operation of two buttons. Pressing two buttons simultaneously generates the Fire and Medical alarms.

How to initiate Panic

Press the [PANIC] or Press simultaneously [1] and [3].

How to initiate Medical Alarm

Press simultaneously [7] and [9].

How to initiate Fire Alarm

Press simultaneously [4] and [6].

Generate Threat or Duress

If you are compelled to disarm the system under threat, you must enter the duress digit before the user’s code to activate the automatic dialer. The duress digit shifts up your usual code by one digit. If your code is 345 and 8 is your duress digit, than entering 8345 will modify your code. The modified duress code will disarm the system in a normal way, but at the same time will activate the dialer silently to report a “duress event” without arousing suspicion. (For details ask installer.)

How to Add or Change Telephone Numbers

Your panel will accept up to 6 phone numbers with a total of 16 digits. Your panel can be can be programmed to dial all or any of these depending on the event which has occurred.(The six phone numbers are at program address 331 through to 336).

While in CLIENT mode, key in the following sequence [PROGRAM] [331][ENTER]

(The address for telephone number 1), The existing number will be flashed out at the keypad.

then enter [NEW TELEPHONE #][ENTER] The new numbers will be flashed back to confirm acceptance.

At any time you can enter in the address for the telephone number just to view the currently programmed value then press the [PROGRAM] button to move on to another address.

Note: Address 331 = PH # 1, 332 = PH# 2 to 336 = PH# 6.

(Note: on the LED keypad “0” is indicated by LED “A” and “9” by LED “B”)

How to operate the access control output

If the alarm system has been set up to allow control of an electric door lock, you can activate the door release function as follows;

Press [CONTROL] or Press [CONTROL] enter CODE then [ENTER]

The Control LED will lights up while the lock is active and turn off as soon as power is removed from the lock.

The Access Control function can either be a single button operation or restricted to requiring a valid User code entry. Both options are shown above. Please consult your installer as to what option may be programmed.

How to Answer an in-coming call

From time to time your installer may need to access the alarm from a remote PC to make changes to your programming and for security reasons they may have configured the alarm so that an authorized person on-site is required to make the alarm system answer the in-coming call. This option is only available in CLIENT mode.

To answer an In-coming Call press [PROGRAM][835][ENTER]

Provided the line connected to the alarm was ringing at the time the panel will now answer the call and allow a remote PC connection.

How Remote Telephone control works

Another powerful feature available from your alarm is Telephone Control. This feature is a remote control facility which allows valid users to access the panel via a standard touch tone telephone and check or change the Arm/Disarm status of each of the areas, operate each of the eight outputs or turn on an optional Microphone.

The Telephone Control feature is only available on panels fitted with a Voice or DTMF board. The Voice board provides voice prompts to guide you through Telephone control operations whereas the DTMF board provides tones (one Long Tone for ON or three short beeps for OFF).

Please talk to your installer to find out if all or any of these options are available on your alarm.

To perform any of the Telephone Control features you must first ring the phone number, which the panel is connected to. The panel may be set up to answer after a specific number of rings of it may be set-up to use a fax defeat option (ring once, hang up and call back within 30sec). Either way, when you ring the phone number and the panel answers the call, the first thing you will hear over the phone is a burst of modem tone for two seconds. After this tone has stopped you must enter the access code, which is associated with the Telephone menu option you wish to access. Remember, the code you enter will determine which menu option you access. If you miss the pause, the panel will repeat the modem tone and then again pause for 5 seconds looking for your access code. This process will be repeated 4 times before hanging up if no valid code is received. When entering codes or other information in Telephone Control the “#” key acts as a “Clear” button.

When you have entered the required 4-digit access code the panel will reply with the status message associated with the Telephone Control function you have accessed. For example, lets say we have a code of “2045” to allow Arming & Disarming of Area A. Once the code “2045” has been received the panel checks the current status of Area A and replies with the pre-programmed voice message relating to that status e.g. if Area A is Armed then the Armed message will be sent, if Disarmed then the Disarmed message will be sent. If only the DTMF board is fitted, the voice message is substituted with a long beep if Area A is Armed, and three short beeps if it is disarmed.

Once the status message has informed you of the actual state, you can use the “*” key to toggle the option on & off or Arm and Disarm, e.g. in our example above, code “2045” accesses Area “A” arming or disarming.

Assuming the status message we received was “Area A alarm is Armed” If we press the “*” key, Area “A” will be Disarmed and we would receive a status message “Area A alarm is Disarmed” (or whatever message is programmed by the installer)

While you are on-line with the panel you can move between menu options by entering the code of the option you want to control. Assuming there was a code of “4321” programmed to control outputs. After having used code “2045” to control the Arm/Disarm status of Area A we first press the “#” button to reset all previous entries. Then we can enter the digits “43215” (that is “4321” as the code to control outputs and “5” to select output #5). The current status of output #5 will be given either by the voice message or the appropriate tone and then the status can be changed with the “*” button on the remote telephone (Note; For output control you must enter in the 4 digit code e.g. 4321 followed by the output number you wish to control, in this case 5).

At any stage, if you enter in an incorrect code you can press the “#” button on the remote telephone to clear all code entries and then start again.

To turn on the optional Microphone (only available if the Voice Board is fitted) you must enter in the appropriate code followed by the “*” button. To turn the Microphone off you simply press the “*” button again.

To end a Telephone Control session simply hangs up the phone. The panel is monitoring the line at all times and 15 seconds after the last key press it will automatically hang up the line. This 15-second timer is active during the whole Telephone control process so a period of 15 seconds without a key press will cause the panel to hang-up.

How Local control works

If a Telephone control code for outputs is programmed and the output/s are allowed to be locally controlled from the keypad, then entering the 4 digit code at a keypad will blank the display and the zone LED’s will now indicate the output status e.g. if output 1 is on zone 1 LED will be on. By now pressing the “1” button at the panel keypad, output 1 can be turned off provided it is allowed to be locally controlled. To leave local Telephone control mode simply press the [ENTER] button and the keypad will return to normal operation. This feature works the same way that “Directly Controlling an Output” works (see page 14) only it requires a code to access the function.

Set Date & Time

How to set Time and Date

The alarm system has an internal clock that may be used to automatically Arm or Disarm the alarm or turn Outputs On or off. It is also used to identify when events occurred in memory via the LCD keypad. Should you need to change the Time & Date it must be done from CLIENT mode.

To change the Time & Date press:

Press [PROGRAM][823][ENTER][1-7][ENTER]

Where 1-7 = the current day (1=Sun, 2 = Mon to 7 = Sat)

Press [PROGRAM][824][ENTER][HHMM][ENTER]

Where HH = Hour in 24 Hour Format and MM = Minutes

Press [PROGRAM][825][ENTER][1-31][ENTER]

Where 1-31 = the current date

Press [PROGRAM][826][ENTER][1-12][ENTER]

Where 1-12 = the current month

Press [PROGRAM][827][ENTER][YY][ENTER]

Where YY = current year, e.g. 02=2002

Test Mode Function

While in CLIENT mode a User with the proper authority can start walk-test mode. This special mode latches the alarm signals from detectors at the keypad initiating the test so that one person can trigger every detector connected to the alarm then return to the keypad to verify operation. On terminating Walk-test mode the test results are put into the memory buffer so they can be viewed at a later time.

To start Walk-test mode while in CLIENT mode press [PROGRAM][836][ENTER].

The keypad buzzer will beep at 1-second intervals.

Next trigger every detector connected to the panel then return to the keypad and all of the zones that were triggered will be displayed at the keypad.

To terminate Walk-test mode press [ENTER].

The keypad will stop beeping and automatically exit CLIENT mode.
