Using your Euro-MERiDIAN Alarm
System just couldn’t be easier!
This is the Keypad from where
you control your Alarm System.
Note:
For your security, the keypad becomes
disabled for 90 seconds after 24 incorrect key-
presses, or after 6 attempts to present invalid
tags. It will subsequently be disabled again
after 7 further incorrect key-presses or after
another invalid tag is presented. Once a
correct code or tag has been registered, the
keypad is returned to normal operation.

The MERiDIAN Keypad
The display gives you any
important messages. It will alert
you if you need to call your alarm
installation engineer.
The 10 digit numeric keypad is
where you use your PIN code.
The A B C D keys help simplify use,
and will illuminate to highlight
your choice of security cover, or
flash if there is a problem.
This is where you present your
Tag .

The ‘Fault’ lamp will light after code
entry to indicate if a technical fault
occurs.

Set (flashing). It will also light during
the setting procedure, going off once
set.

Engineer Reset
When an alarm has been
cancelled and the Police have
been notified by the Alarm
Receiving Centre, you will see
the following screen when you
try to use the system:
It is usually necessary for an
engineer from your installation
company to check the
installation and reset the system
for further use.
But if you have caused the
alarm in error your Alarm
Receiving Centre or Alarm
Installation Company may permit
you to reset the system without
an engineer present.
You will be required to quote a
5-digit code by telephone (advise
them that the system is a Castle
Euro-MERiDIAN). You will then be
given a special code which will
reset the system for that one
occasion only.
This 5-digit code is displayed in
the ‘user menu’ – see page F21.
