sponding respectively to the zones) will show the zone status:
----OFF indicates zone in standby status
----Slow flashing indicates alarm or tamper memorized on the zone
----Fast flashing indicates zone violation (alarm or tamper)
Buzzer The audible signals emitted by the Keypad buzzer are as follows:
----Key pressed = Short beep
----Command accepted = Long high-tone beep
----Error signal = Long low-tone beep
The buzzer can also signal the elapsing Entry / Exit delay.
Codes 23 Codes are available for the user. The Installer can assign one of the 5
Code Types: - DISABLED - MAIN USER - USER - DURESS - PATROL to
each of the 23 codes. Each code can control specific options and partitions
according to programming. Main User Type codes can assign a 4 to 6 digit
PIN to the other Code Types. When a Code PIN is entered on a keypad it
can enable / disable the options on the partitions it can control, and on the
partitions of the keypad in use. Code errors will be signalled by a Long low-
tone beep, after which it will be possible to retry.
rMAIN USER Codes provide full control of the system options, and can ac-
cess the programming phase and change the User Code PINs, therefore,
should be given to persons that require full control of the system.
rUSER Codes are enabled for Global arming / disarming, Reset Alarm
Memory and Overtime requests. These Codes allow restricted control of
the system, therefore, should be given to persons that do not require full
control of the system.
rDURESS Codes are for forced disarming (disarming under threat). Entry of
a Duress Code PIN will disarm the system and activate the Digital Commu-
nicator (which will send an alarm call to the Central Station), and dialler
(which will send the recorded voice messages to the programmed tele-
phone numbers).
8Security System Control Panels Omnia8/Omnia4

rPATROL Codes are enabled for Global arming / disarming. PATROL
Code PINs can disarm partitions temporarily. Partitions disarmed by a PA-
TROL Code PIN will be rearmed automatically when the programmed Pa-
trol time elapses.
+The factory default programming for the User Codes can be found on
page 26.
Superkeys Each Superkey controls a specific option (without requiring Code PIN en-
try): Number keys , , , and will take on Superkey status
when pressed for approximately 4 seconds (refer to "Superkeys" para-
graph).
GENERAL FEATURES 9

Digital key
Key reader Key readers have 3 LEDs (Red, Green and Amber), and a digital key slot.
Each key reader will be programmed with the following:
-the partitions it can control
-the type of arming assigned to the Amber LED
-the type of arming assigned to the Green LED
Digital Key The digital keys control the arming mode of the partitions. The digital key
must be inserted into the key reader slot. It is possible to scan the 4 con-
figurations of the LEDs (each configuration is assigned to a specific arming
mode) by simply pressing the digital key button. On the Eclipse/Sat model
the button is inside the key reader, therefore, the Sat digital key must be
inserted into the Eclipse key reader slot, and pushed lightly to scan the 4
configurations of the LEDs, and select the arming mode.
Digital keys have a non-volatile memory with a random code selected from
4 billion code combinations.
The Installer can assign a progressive number (1 through 128), and a 16
character Label to each of the 128 digital keys.
Each digital key can be programmed to control specific partitions only.
There are two digital key levels: Service ---- can stop all alarm types; and
Non-service ----can stop alarms on the partitions of the digital key and key
reader in use.
Multiple
Systems Digital keys can valid on more than one system, and can be pro- grammed to manage different groups of partitions on the different systems.
Arming Mode Options
Digital key in
key reader When a valid digital key is inserted into a key reader, all the signalling de- vices of the partitions controlled by the digital key and key reader in use
will be stopped. At this point, by pressing the digital key button it will be
possible to scan the 4 configurations of the LEDs. Each configuration is as-
signed to a specific arming mode.
ØGlobal arming: (Red LED ON) all the partitions controlled by the digital key
and key reader in use will be armed.
ØGlobal disarming: (all LEDs OFF) all the partitions controlled by the digital
key and key reader in use will be disarmed.
ØA and B type arming: (Amber or Green ON) all the partitions controlled by
the digital key and key reader in use will be armed or disarmed as config-
ured during programming.
ØStop alarm: all signalling devices, connected to the alarm outputs of the
partitions controlled by the digital key and key reader in use will be forced
into standby status.
The selected arming mode (indicated by the configuration on the key
reader) will be activated when the digital key is extracted.
10 Security System Control Panels Omnia8/Omnia4

The Control panel reads the status of the unbypassed and Instant zones
assigned to the partitions to be armed. If the zones are violated (door or
window open), the LED will start flashing to signal that arming the parti-
tions will generate an alarm.
To quit without changing:
1. Leave the key in the key reader.
2. Press the digital key button for about 4 seconds.
3. Extract the key when the 3 LEDs start flashing.
Invalid digital keys will generate the False Key Event on the key reader,
and will activate the programmed procedure. The False Key Event will be
signalled by fast flashing on the 3 LEDs.
No digital key in
key reader When the key reader is empty (no digital key) the LEDs indicate the follow- ing:
----Red LED ON indicates that at least one of the partitions controlled by
the key reader is armed.
----Red LED OFF indicates that all the partitions controlled by the key
reader are disarmed.
----Amber LED ON indicates that the configuration of the armed or dis-
armed partitions matches the Type A arming mode of the key reader.
----Green LED ON indicates that the configuration of the armed or dis-
armed partitions matches the Type B arming mode of the key reader.
+Only the partitions controlled by the key reader affect its LEDs. The LEDs
can be disabled by the Installer.
