Request Denied (Empty request) will be signalled by an error beep, and the following message:
ATTENTION!ATTENTION!
NOT ENAB.FUNCT.NOT ENAB.FUNCT.
Empty requests may be due to either the User code or keypad.
For example: the User code is enabled for Global arming on a specific group of partitions that are not keypad par-
titions.
Global arming request <PIN> +
This request will arm all the partitions of the User code and keypad in use.
Global disarming request <PIN> +

CONTROLLING THE SYSTEM VIA KEYS OR CARDS
This section describes the operating procedures of Digital Key and Proximity Key/Card systems.
Only the Installer can program the Keys/Cards and Readers.
Readers ECLIPSE Key Readers and PROXI Card Readers are equipped with 3 LEDs (Red,Green and Amber) for status
signalling.
The Readers can be programmed to control:
----specific partitions (Reader partitions)
----type A arming mode (Amber LED)
----type B arming mode the (Green LED)
Keys/Cards The Omnia system supports 250 Keys/Cards (see Figure 2), and an unlimited number of clones of key/card 250.
Each key/card can be programmed with specific attributes, and can be enabled on selected partitions, as per Cus-
tomer requirements.
During the programming phase, the Keys/Cards will be programmed with the system access code (a random code
selected from 4 billion codes), and will be assigned a progressive Identifier number (1 through 250). Once the
Identifier number has been established, it will be possible to assign a 16 character label (name) to the Key/Card.
Using DKC Keys
with BP13 and
BP13W
Insert a DKC Key into a BP13 or BP13W Reader----all the Reader LEDs will switch OFF.
Press the Key button for about 2 seconds seconds.
Extract the key when the LEDs indicate the required arming mode:
RED = Global Arming; AMBER = Type A Arming; GREEN = Type B Arming.
Do not press the button for more than 4 seconds, as the system will read this an ’Abandoned Request’ (the LEDs
will blink, and the system status will remain unchanged).
Using the
Eclipse/Sat
system
Insert a SAT Key into an ECLIPSE Reader----all the Reader LEDs will switch OFF.
Push the SAT Key gently into the Eclipse Reader.
Extract the key when the LEDs indicate the required arming mode:
RED = Global Arming; AMBER = Type A Arming; GREEN = Type B Arming.
Using the PROXI
CARD system
Hold a PROXI Key in the vicinity of the sensitive field of the PROXI Reader----all the Reader LEDs will switch OFF.
Hold the PROXI Card in the vicinity of the sensitive field of the PROXI Reader (see dashed circle a) in Figure 2).
Move the PROXI Card away from the sensitive field when the LEDs indicate the required arming mode:
RED = Global Arming; AMBER = Type A Arming; GREEN = Type B Arming.
Multiple
Systems
The Keys/Cards can be programmed to control several Omnia systems, with different access levels (enabled
Readers, Partitions, etc.) on each system. This will in no way complicate use, as the operating procedures are ex-
actly the same.
Operating on the system
The operations described in this section will effect only the enabled Partitions of the Key/Card and Reader in use.
Only the Installer can enable the Keys/Cards and Readers on the Partitions.
The Keys/Cards can control the following operations:
Global arming: (Red LED ON) ALL the Key/Card and Reader partitions will arm.
Global disarming: (all LEDs OFF) ALL the Key/Card and Reader partitions will disarm.
Type A and B arming: (Amber or Green LED ON) ALL the Key/Card and Reader partitions will arm or disarm (as
configured during programming).
Stop alarm: All the signalling devices (connected to the alarm outputs) of the Key/Card and Reader partitions will
reset to standby status.
No Key/Card at
Reader
When No Key/Card is present at a Reader, the LEDs will indicate the system status, as follows:
Red LED ON----at least one of the Reader partitions is armed
CONTROLLING THE SYSTEM VIA KEYS OR CARDS 15

Red LED OFF----all the Reader partitions are disarmed
Amber LED ON----the system is armed in Type A mode
Green LED ON----the system is armed in Type B mode
The LEDs will indicate the status of the Reader partitions only. The Reader LEDs can be programmed to show Panel
status at all times, or only in response to a valid Key (LEDs OFF when the Reader is empty).
If the configuration of the armed partitions does not match either Type A or B arming mode (for example a Reader
partition has been armed from a keypad) the Amber and Green LED will not switch ON.
Key/Card at
Reader
When a Key/Card is present at a Reader, the LEDs will indicate the system status, as follows:
The Control panel will perform a ’Zones Check’ on the Unbypassed and Instant zones----of the partitions to be armed. If
violated zones are found (door or window open), the LED (assigned to the selected Arming mode) will blink to signal
that arming the partitions will generate an alarm.
If violated zones, found during a ’Zones Check’, are programmed as Auto-bypassable, they will be bypassed,
and an alarm will not be generated. Zones bypassed in this way will be unbypassed when their partitions are next
disarmed.
False Keys/Cards at Readers will be signalled by fast blinking on all three LEDs, and will generate False Key/Card
events that in turn will activate the programmed actions.
Global arming
This operation will arm all the Partitions of the Key/Card and Reader in use.
All 3 LEDs must be OFF.
Global disarming
This operation will disarm all the Partitions of the Key/Card and Reader in use.
The Red LED must be ON.
Type A arming (Amber)
This operation will arm specific Partitions and disarm others, as per the programmed configuration.
The Amber LED must be ON.
Type B arming (Green)
This operation will arm specific Partitions and disarm others, as per the programmed configuration.
The Green LED must be ON.
Stop Alarm
This operation will interrupt all the alarms generated by the Partitions of the Key/Card and Reader in use.
To Stop Alarms: use a valid Key at a Reader. If the Enable Panel-Alarm Stop with valid Electronic Key option
is active, the Control panel alarms will also be interrupted.
If the Key/Card is programmed to stop calls----the ongoing call will be interrupted and the call queue will be
cleared.
