INTRODUCTION
The 4250 Alarm System is one of the latest advanced
security systems available and is designed to be fully in
compliance with the latest industry standards. It provides
24 hour supervised remote monitoring with audio
confirmation of security occurrences. The system may be
set up to protect either a complete building or selected
parts of it.
On detection of a possible security breach an alarm
signal is sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre, where an
operator can monitor and listen to the alarm activity at the
premises and take the appropriate action. This may
include alerting the local police and/or a designated
keyholder in accordance with ACPO procedures.
Depending on the application of the system ie. domestic,
commercial and/or nature of the risk, one of three security
modes, SECURE, AUTOMATIC or AUTO-NO DIAL can be
pre-defined by the Alarm Company when the system is set
up by the Alarm Company Engineer.
If the applications require changes after the equipment is
installed, then the customer must contact the Alarm
Company.

6) After a short delay the code will be verified, the keypad
and Exit/Entry buzzer (if fitted) will start to bleep. The
keypad will begin to countdown a predetermined time
in seconds to allow exit from the premises.
7) Leave the premises immediately via the designated Exit/

SETTING THE SYSTEM (TURNING THE SYSTEM ON)
PROBLEMS WHEN SELECTING FULL SET
The keypad display text will indicate the reason which
prevents the user selecting FULL SET.
Zone fault conditions
If alarm devices, other than the final door or Exit/Entry
alarm devices are open or activated then this will prevent
the setting procedure being started. Before setting the
system all monitored zones, i.e. doors and windows must
be secured. If a fault exists when attempting to set the
system the keypad display will show a message indicating
where the fault is located. For example, the following
display, indicates the system remains UNSET due to a fault
in zone 05.
Note: A zone is an area such as a room or corridor that
is monitored by a device such as a movement
detector, door contacts etc.
Omit key Next key
If more than one fault exists by pressing the Next key
other faults will be displayed in sequence. When the
fault(s) indicated have been cleared, carry out the setting
procedure for FULL SET. If the fault(s) cannot be
immediately cleared and the user needs to set the system,
the faulty zone(s) can be omitted from the system by the
user with a master code (page 35).
This facility is subject to insurance company agreement.

PROBLEMS WHEN SELECTING FULL SET
Incorrect code entry
If the incorrect code is entered during selection
procedure the keypad LCD Display will show.
Retry key
Press the RETRY key and enter the correct code.
After 3 attempts to enter your code the system will refuse
further setting attempts for two minutes and this condition is
reported to the Alarm Receiving Centre. After the two

SETTING THE SYSTEM (TURNING THE SYSTEM ON)

11
PROBLEMS WHEN SELECTING FULL SET
Deviation from the Correct Exit Procedure
Deviating from the designated Exit route when the
countdown period has started will cause the keypad exit
bleep to change to a continuous tone. Returning to the
correct route, i.e. closing any doors on the wrong route
will cause the keypad bleeper tone to change to the
normal intermittent bleep and you will be able to exit
normally. If any zones having been entered by deviating
from the exit route are not restored, e.g. doors not
closed, within the set exit time the keypad display will
show:
The FAILED TO EXIT condition will be reported to the
Alarm Receiving Centre and the audible tone will continue
to sound until the x digit user code is entered.
Pressing the * key will display the fault status condition.
Eliminate the fault and repeat the FULL SET procedure.
SETTING THE SYSTEM (TURNING THE SYSTEM ON)

12
PROBLEMS WHEN SELECTING FULL SET
Failure to complete exit procedure
If during the FULL SET procedure the user fails to exit
the premises with in the set exit time the setting fault
condition will be indicated on the keypad LCD as shown:
The FAIL TO EXIT condition is reported to the Alarm
Receiving Centre and the keypad audible tone will continue
to sound. To reset the system, key in your x digit user
code and press enter.
SETTING THE SYSTEM (TURNING THE SYSTEM ON)

13
PART SET (Partially armed)
The PART SET condition allows the alarm system to be
armed (set) in certain zones of the protected premises
while the remainder of the premises are occupied. Two
PART SET selections are available as follows:
Delay selection: This feature is selected when access to
the non-alarmed (occupied) area is via a protected part
of the premises. When the PART SET delay selection is
set at the keypad there is a time delay to allow the user
to leave the protected area. On entering the protected
area by the normal entry route there is a similar time
delay to allow the user to key in the x digit user code to
UNSET (switch off) the system. During both time delays
the keypad will bleep. An example of using this selection
is a house with the downstairs protected and the upstairs
occupied but the occupants require access to the
keypad to PART SET or UNSET the system.
Instant selection: This feature is selected when access
to the occupied area is not via a protected part of the
premises. In this instance the keypad is located outside
the protected area eg. a keypad is upstairs enabling the
downstairs to be PART SET/UNSET with no time delay. Any
intrusion downstairs will result in an alarm signal being
reported to the Alarm Receiving Centre.

6) Key in the x digit user code and press enter.
7) If Delay is selected leave the protected area within
the preset exit time.

PROBLEMS WHEN UNSETTING THE SYSTEM
Deviation from Entry route
Entering the premises via the designated route (Final exit
only door), the Entry/Exit buzzer (if fitted) and keypad
bleeper will sound intermittently. Deviating from the
designated route e.g. opening another door will cause
the sound to change to a continuous tone. On returning
to the designated route the audible indication will revert
to the intermittent sound, confirming that the zones have
been restored to normal.
Zones not restored during entry time
If zones outside the Entry route are not restored before
the Entry time expires and the x digit user code is entered
using the keypad then the display will indicate FULL-SET.
An alarm condition will be reported to the Alarm Receiving
Centre and the keypad status LED will flash red.
Deviation from the route is reported to the Alarm Receiving
Centre. The display will show System FULL SET and then
upon entering the x digit user code followed by enter the
keypad display will alternate between (a) and (b).
