zones that were triggered will be displayed on the keypad.
To terminate Walk-test mode press ,thekeypad stops beeping.To exits CLIENT mode,
press 4times untilthe screen says‘Exit ProgramMode’,then press .
How to Answer an In-ComingCall
From time to timeyour installer may need to access the alarm from a remote PC to make
changes to the programming of your system 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-comingcall.This option is onlyavailable inCLIENT mode (see page-14).
If the panelis not configured to answerin-coming calls,the user can force itto answer the call
by pressingandholding down the ‘Control’ function button (that has been manually assigned
to the ‘CONTROL’function), followedveryquickly by holdingdownthedigit <9>.This
forces the panelto answer the call immediately.For this function to work,the phone line must
be ringing at thetime and there must have been atleast two rings before pressing the buttons.
Provided the line connected tothe alarm was ringing at the time,the panelnow answers the call
and allows a remote PC connection.
Controlbutton can be one of the followingbuttons: , , , (See Button
Assignments on page-21).
UsingtheRemoteCommandControl
Another powerful feature available from your alarmisCommand Control.This featureisa
remote controlfacilitywhich allows valid users to access the panelvia a standardtouch tone
telephone and checkor changes the Arm/Disarm status of each of the areas,operate each of the
eight outputs or turn on an optionalMicrophone.
The Command Controlfeatureis only available on panelsfitted with a Voice board.The Voice
board provides voice prompts to guideyou through Command controloperations.
Please talk to your installer to findout if all or anyof these options are available onyour alarm.
To perform any of the Command Controlfeatures you must first ring the phone number which
the panelis connected to.The panelmay 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 panelanswers the call,thefirst thing you hearover the phoneisa two seconds burst of
modem tone.After thistone stops,you must enter the access code assigned by your installer
which is associated with the Command menu option you wish to access.Remember thatthe
code you enter determines which menu option youaccess.If you miss thepause,the panel
repeats the modem tone andthen pauses again for 5seconds looking foryour access code.This
process is repeated four times before hanging up,if no valid codeisreceived.When entering
codes or other information inCommand Controlthe "#" keyacts as a "Clear" button.
When you have entered the required 4-digitaccess code the panelreplies with the status
message associated with the Command Controlfunction 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 panelchecks the current statusof Area A and replies with the pre-
programmed voicemessage relating to that status.For example,if AreaA is armed,then the
Armed message is sent,if Disarmed thenthe Disarmed message is sent.

Operating theKeypad
18
Once thestatus message hasinformed you of the actualstate ofthe system,you can use the
"*" key to togglethe option on &off or Arm and Disarm,e.g.in our example above,code “2045”
accesses Area "A" arming or disarming.
Assuming thestatus message we received was"Area A alarm is Armed" If we press the "*" key,
Area "A" isDisarmed and wewould receive astatus message "Area A alarm isDisarmed" (or
whatever message is programmed in the Voice Board by the installer).
While you are on-line with the panel,you can move between menu options by entering the code
of the option youwant to control.Assuming therewas a code of “4321” programmed tocontrol
outputs.After having used code “2045” to controlthe Arm/Disarm status of Area A,wefirst
press the “#” button toreset allprevious entries.Then we can enter the digits “43215” (that is
“4321” as the code to controloutputs and“5” to select output #5).The current status of output
#5is given either by the voice message or the appropriate tone and then the status can be
changed with the “*” buttonon the remote telephone.
NOTE:
For output control,you must enterthe 4 digit code,for example,4321 followedby the
output numberyou wish to control, in thiscase5.
At any stage,ifyou 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 optionalMicrophone (only available ifthe Voice Boardis fitted) you must enterin
the appropriate code for Microphone Controlfollowed by the “*” button.To turn the Microphone
off,you simply press the “*” button again.
To end a Command Controlsession,simply hangs up the phone.The panelismonitoring the
phone line at all times and 15 seconds after your last key press,it automatically hangs up the
line.This 15-second timer is active during the whole command control process,so a periodof
15 seconds without akey press causes the panelto hang-up.
UsingLocalCommandControl
If a command controlcode for outputsisprogrammed and the output/s are allowed to be locally
controlled from thekeypad,then entering the 4digit code at a keypad followed by ,willtake
the keypad screen back to normalmode but you will be ableto press keypad digits that
correspond tothe Output number you want to control.When you press the digit for the Output
Number,the Output willoperate and the screen willchange and show a ‘*’ for each digit (Output
Number) you press.To Exit the LocalCommand Controlmode,you can either press the
