Introduction
The Crow Alarm Control System
We are really pleased that you chose to protect your premises and possibly even your lives with
our RUNNER SERIES from Crow Electronic Engineering Ltd.
The RUNNER SERIES is a highly advanced, multifunction alarm control system, designed to
flawlessly manage your security system at home or at business, protects you against burglary
and supports the operation of multiple electronic devices.
The RUNNER SERIES has many incredible program options and additional accessories that can
enhance the standard features of the panel from simple “Home Automation” to “Radio control”
and Voice Prompted Command control”. Please ask your installer to find out more about these
powerful features.
You can phone your home to check or change the status of any output using the keys on your
phone. Arm or disarm the whole house or just one area, all with your own voice confirming your
selections.
Imagine turning on the spa before leaving work so it is hot when you get in the door. The under-
floor heating has just automatically switched on using the on board timer and you have just
opened the roller-door and disarmed the garage from your cell phone so the white ware
repairman can work on your washer.
The controller supports a 16 LED keypad or the more sophisticated LCD (liquid Crystal Display)
keypad.
It also has a comprehensive alarm event memory that logs all controller activity with a time and
date stamp.
Typical Alarm System Configuration
The protected premises can be divided up into 16 zones, as defined by the installation scheme.
The protected area can be grouped into two separate partitions (A and B).
The system enables you in a business environment, to conveniently group separately, the offices
from the warehouse area, or in a private residence, the different rooms of the home. For
example, living room, bedroom, and maybe the basement and attic.
These groups or zones can react specifically to different types of events and then generating an
alarm or activate a device.
The system can be armed in two different modes:
Arm / ( ) – the protected areas are entirely vacated.
Stay / ( ) – people and pets populate the protected areas.
You have access to the keypad's control features, and can change the settings yourself.
The system can be accessed via multiple keypads (each located at a different site). Up to eight
keypads can be integrated into the system. Access levels and your access codes are described
later on in this guide.

2
KEYPAD LED Type Description
The LED Keypad shows all the information required to operate the system. The User
communicates with the alarm system via the keypad. The Keypad displays continuous
information about the status of the alarm system, and enables the User to operate the system in
different modes, change settings and program Users' access codes.
The keypad also collects and records events to be displayed afterward on request, to overview
system activities, and to analyze system performance for diagnostics.
Function Keys (Textual LED Keypad)
These keys are used to arm the system, enter commands to alter system settings, or scroll
through the history events.

Operating the LED Keypad
How to Arm the System before Exit (LED Keypad)
Preparing the System for Arming (LED Keypad)
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, <Bypass> indicator
flashes indicating bypassed zone(s). For details see page 9/10.
Note: Bypassed zones are not protected.
Arming the System (LED Keypad)
Before leaving premises you must arm the system.

1. Enter your code.
2. Press <ENTER>/ to arm the system.
There is an 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 vacate
the protected area.
The Aor Bindicator lights up to indicate that the system is armed.
The indicators may go out few seconds after exit delay times out, depending on the installation
setting.
To disarm the system during the exit delay, press <ARM>/

6
Arming the System While Staying Home (LED Keypad)
Arming the System in Stay Mode (LED Keypad)
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 are ignored by the system.
1. Press <STAY>/ .
2. Enter your code.
3. Press <ENTER>/ .
The Aor Bindicator flashes indicating that the system is now armed in stay mode.
Quick Stay
This feature must be enabled at installation time.
Press <STAY>/ to Stay Arm the system.
During exit delay you can leave the premises. If you wish to stay, or you don’t want anybody
to enter the protected premises, you can cancel the Entry/Exit delay by pressing the
<ENTER>/ key.
The slow beeping stops and the system will then immediately arm (cancelling the remaining
Exit period).
The Aor Bindicator 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 or B indicator goes off to indicate that the system is disarmed.
How to Arm Partitions
The protected area can be grouped into 3 separate partitions (Aor B). 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 rooms of the home, e.g., living room,
bedroom, etc.
To arm partition A enter user code for partition A
To arm partition B enter user code for partition B
Note: to arming partition with code see page 10 “How to arm the system before exit”
During exit delay you can leave premises. At the end of the procedure the Aor Bindicator 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".
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>/ , the Bypass indicator lights up to indicate that
the system is in bypass mode.

7
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>/ ,
the Bypass indicator lights to indicate that the system is in bypass mode.
Add the zone number (example, 03) one or more zones, the zone LED indicators lights to
indicate that the zone is bypassed, then press <ENTER>/ , the Bypass LED flashes to
indicate zone(s) bypassed.
To reset bypassed zones, press <BYPASS>/ , enter zone number (example, 07, 13), the
zone LED indicators go off to indicate that the zone is no longer bypassed. Press <ENTER>/ .
NOTE: Disarming automatically un-bypasses all zone.
Using Chime (If enabled at Installation)
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>/ , the Control
LED indicator lights up to indicate that Chime is disabled.
To enable Chime mode, you need to press two buttons together: Press <CONTROL>/ and
<PROGRAM>/ Together, the Control LED goes off to indicate that Chime is active.
Emergency Alerts
The special function of these three keys is best programmed by your installer to suit your
individual needs. Most commonly, these can be used to alert the Alarm Monitoring Company (the
system Must be monitored for this to occur. Please see your systems installer).
These Emergencies are “PANIC”, “FIRE”, and “MEDICAL” type alarms. 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> / key.
OR
Press simultaneously keys <1>and <3> / < >and < >.
How to initiate Medical Alarm
Press simultaneously keys <7> and <9> / < > and < >.
How to initiate Fire Alarm
Press simultaneously keys <4> and <6> / < > and < >.
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 modifies your code.
The modified duress code disarms the system in a normal way, but at the same time activates
the dialer silently to report a “duress event” without arousing suspicion. (For details ask the
installer).

How to Read System Messages
When viewing the memory events at the keypad by pressing the <MEMORY>/ , the first
thing that is always displayed is the system messages. If the system led turns ON but no other
Zone LED’s are ON at the same time, this means that there are no current system alarms. If a
zone LED and LED’s are ON then this indicates system alarms that have not yet cleared. The
LED’s 1-8 are pre-defined as to what system alarm they display. These system alarm indications
are shown in the table below.
LED 1 Battery Low LED 5 Radio Pendant Battery Low
LED 2 Mains Failure LED 6 Supervised Detector Failure
LED 3 Telephone Line Failure LED 7 Zone Inactivity Timeout
LED 4 Radio Detector Battery Low LED 8 Dialer Kiss-off Failure
Following the display of current system alarms the panel sequences through the 255 historical
memory events starting at the most recent event. The second table shows the alarm events that
can be displayed in memory mode and what indicators are used to show them.
How to Read Trouble Messages
Any failure or abnormal events that may occur are indicated by trouble messages, and the
Trouble indicator is light. Press <MEMORY>/ to read out messages and other events stored
in memory.
How to Display Events from Memory
The system memory stores the last events. Press <MEMORY>/ to display list of events.
Following the display of current system alarms the panel then sequences through the 255
historical memory events starting at the most recent event. The second table shows the alarm
events that can be displayed in memory mode and what indicators are used to show them.
The system displays the last event and you can scrolls to the next event by pressing on the
<MEMORY>/ again.
To exit from memory event display press <ENTER>/ to cancel memory readout.

Entering the User Program/Client Mode
There are 2 levels of program modes, CLIENT mode and INSTALLER mode. Normally the
installer configures the system to give you access to the CLIENT mode so you can add, delete,
or change the user codes. To get into CLIENT mode (provided the system is NOT Armed) Press
<PROGRAM>/ enter Master code then press <ENTER>/ . The Program indicator
lights up to indicate that the system is in User programming mode.
If you get a single long beep at this point and the Program LED doesn’t turn on, it means your
code cannot access Program mode.
How to Exit Program Mode
To exit out of program mode press <PROGRAM>/ and <ENTER>/ . The Program
indicator goes off to indicate that the system is not in User programming mode.
How to Change or Add Codes
About Master Code and the User Code (Using LED Keypad)
The factory default master code (123) is intended as a preliminary control of the alarm system.
After the RUNNER is installed and put into service, the code can be changed to any code known
to the Master user (User-1). The Master user can define up to 100 user codes. To limit access
rights, the holder of the Master code can ask the installer to define several User profiles.
Access rights are listed below:
User code has Area A and/or B permission
User code can Arm and/or Disarm an area
User code can Stay Arm and/or Stay Disarm an area
User code can change its code
User code can change user’s code
User code can Operate control Functions
User code can change dialer telephone numbers
User code can alter the real time clock
User can answer an incoming call and start up/down load
User can allow access to installer program mode from client mode.
Initiate Walk-test mode.
How to Change the Master Code (Using LED Keypad)
NOTE: When changing the Master Code, please Ensure that you remember the new
Master Code that you enter. Otherwise, your systems installer will need to come back
to reset the code. This may incur a Service (Call Out) Fee.
While in CLIENT mode (see “Entering the user Program/Client Mode” above on page-10), Press
<PROGRAM>/ then 1<ENTER>/ , and 1<ENTER>/ again. The current
Master Code digits will be flashed back at you one digit at a time. To enter a new Master code,
use the numeric keyboard to enter your new Master code then press <ENTER>/ . The new
Master Code will flash back at you one digit at a time, followed either by three short beeps to
indicate correct entry or one long beep if not accepted. The Master Code can be any
combination of 1 to 6 digits. It is recommended to use at least a 4 digits code but a 6 digit code
will provide greater security.
To exit user Code Program mode, Press <PROG>/ and <ENTER>/ .
How to Add or Change the User Code (Using LED Keypad)
While in CLIENT mode, press <PROGRAM>/ then 1 <ENTER>/ and the User number
(2 to 100) to add or change the code, press <ENTER>/ . If there is an existing code already,
it is flashed back to you. Use the numeric keyboard to enter the new code. The code can hold

11
any combination of 1 to 6 digits. Entering the new code deletes the old code. Press
<ENTER>/ to save your new code, the new code is flashed back to you along with three
short beeps.
Repeat the procedure for all users.
Press <PROG>/ and <ENTER>/ to exit Local Program mode.
How to Delete the User Code (Using LED Keypad)
In client mode, press <PROGRAM>/ then 1 then <ENTER>/ and the User number (2
to 100) you intend to delete, press <ENTER>/ . The code is flashed back to you. Press
<BYPASS>/ to delete User code.
Press <ENTER>/ to save the change.
Press <PROG>/ and <ENTER>/ exit program mode.
Adding/Changing Telephone Numbers (Using LED Keypad)
Your panel accepts up to six phone numbers with a total of 16 digits. Your panel 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 P181E 1-8E).
While in CLIENT mode, key in the following sequence <PROGRAM>/ <, P181E 1E >
<ENTER>/ (The address for telephone number 1), the existing number is flashed out at
the keypad then enter NEW TELEPHONE # then press <ENTER>/ The new numbers are
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 the next address.
For example, P181E 1E= PH # 1, P181E 2E = PH# 2, P181E 6E = PH# 6.
NOTE: On the LED keypad, “0” is indicated by LED “Aux(0)”
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. If you need to change the Time & Date it must be done from the CLIENT
mode. To change the Time & Date press
Press <PROGRAM/ <26> <ENTER>/ <2> <ENTER>/ <1-7> <ENTER>/
Where 1-7 = the current day (1=Sun, 2 = Mon to 7 = Sat)
Press <PROGRAM>/ <26> <ENTER>/ <1> <ENTER>/ <HHMM><ENTER>/
Where HH = Hour in 24 Hour Format and MM = Minutes
Press <PROGRAM>/ <26> <ENTER>/ <3> <ENTER>/ <DDMMYY>
<ENTER>/ .
Where DD =1-31 current date, MM= months 1-12, YY = year 00-99

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 turn on while the lock is active, and turns 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 start Walk Test Mode
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>/ <200>
<ENTER>/ <6> <ENTER>/ and the keypad buzzer beeps 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 are displayed on the keypad.
To terminate Walk-test mode press <ENTER>/ , the keypad stops beeping and automatically
exits CLIENT mode.
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.
If the panel is not configured to answer in-coming calls, the user can force it to answer the call
by pressing and holding <CONTROL>/ followed Immediately by <9>and Hold Both
buttons for 10 seconds or until you hear three quick beeps. This forces the panel to answer the
call immediately. For this function to work, the phone line must be ringing at the time
and there must have been at least two rings before pressing the buttons.
Provided the line connected to the alarm was ringing at the time, the panel now
answers the call and allows a remote PC connection.
How to Generate a Manual Test Call (Monitored CID Only)
From time to time it may be necessary to force the Dialer to report a Manually Generated ‘Test
Call’. This is a handy feature for when Test Calls are programmed for Weekly Reporting and the
system user (or service technician) would like to confirm that the Dialer is functioning.
If the panel is configured for Contact ID (Back-To-Base Monitored) reporting and test calls are
programmed to report, you can force a manual test call by pressing and holding <CONTROL>/
followed Immediately by <0>and Holding Both buttons down until the Line/
Indicator on the keypad turns on.
This operation will cause a Manual Test Call to be Reported to the monitoring company. You can
also dial into the panel from a remote site and enter the DTMF Code Number (using the remote
telephone (digit) buttons) to force the Runner Panel to hang-up from your call and Immediately
Report a Test Call to the Back-To-Base Monitoring Company. This function Must first be
programmed (setup) by your systems installer. Please ask your systems installer for details.

13
Using the Remote Command Control
Another powerful feature available from your alarm is Command 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 changes the Arm/Disarm status of each of the areas, operate each of the
eight outputs or turn on an optional Microphone.
The Command Control feature is only available on panels (Runner-8 / 16 & Plus (Compact
version)) fitted with a Voice board. The Voice board provides voice prompts to guide you
through Command control operations.
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 Command 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 or
it can be set-up to use a fax defeat option. Either way, when you ring the phone number and
the panel answers the call, the first thing you hear over the phone is a two seconds burst of
modem tone. After this tone stops you must enter the access code, which is associated with the
Command menu option you wish to access. Remember, the code you enter determines which
menu option you access. If you miss the pause, the panel repeats the modem tone and then
pauses again for 5 seconds looking for your access code. This process is repeated four times
before hanging up, if no valid code is received. When entering codes or other information in
Command Control the "#" key acts as a "Clear" button.
When you have entered the required 4-digit access code the panel replies with the status
message associated with the Command Control function you have accessed. For example, let's
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. For example, if Area A is armed, then the
Armed message is sent, if Disarmed then the Disarmed message is 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" is 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 is
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 the 4 digit code, for example, 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 Command 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 automatically hangs up the line. This 15-
second timer is active during the whole command control process so a period of 15 seconds
without a key press causes the panel to hang-up.

14
Using Local Command Control
If a command control code for outputs is programmed and the output/s are allowed to be locally
controlled from the keypad, then enter the 4 digit code at a keypad then press <ENTER>/ .
The zone display then blanks out and the zone LED’s now indicate the output status.
For example, if output 1 is On, zone 1 LED will turn On. To Turn-Off Output-1, Press the digit
“1” button at the panel keypad, output 1 can be turned off provided it is allowed to be locally
controlled. To leave local command control mode simply press the <ENTER>/ button and
the keypad returns to normal operation. This feature works the same way as the function called
“Directly Controlling an Output”, only difference that it requires a code to access the function.
