Introduction
Meet the Crow Alarm Control System
Thank you for choosing to protect your premises with a PowerWave of Crow Electronic
Engineering Ltd.
Power Wave of Crow Electronic Engineering Ltd. 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 electronic devices.
The PW 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 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 hotwhen 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 rollerdoor and disarmed the garage from your cell phone so the
white ware repairman can work on your washer.
The controller will support a 16 LED keypad or the more sophisticated LCD (liquid Crystal
Display) keypad.
It also has a comprehensive alarm event memory that stores all of the controller activity
with the time and date.
Typical Alarm System Configuration
The protected premises can be divided up to 64 zones, as defined by the installation
scheme. The protected area can be grouped upto 4 separate partitions (A,B,C,D). 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.
Each zone can react differently to various events, to generate an alarm or activate a
device.
The system can be armed in two different modes:
1) Arm–the protected areas are entirely vacated
2) Stay –people and pets populate the protected areas.
The User who has access to the keypad's control features, can change the settings.
The system can be accessed via multiple keypads (each located at a different site). Up
to 8 keypads can be integrated into the system. Access levels and Users’ access codes
are detailed below.

Keypad Description
General Description
The LCD display shows all the information required to operate the system in a friendly
manner and free of flaws. 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 andprogram
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.
The keyboard is illustrated in Figure 1, and the main components are detailed below.
Figure 1: Keypad

Operation
How to Arm the System before Exit
•Preparing the System for Arming
Verify that the green <Ready> indicator is lit. This indicator is lit only when all zones are
closed (all doors, exits and windows are closed and motion in the protected area is
restricted or bypassed). If the green <Ready> indicator is not illuminated, the LCD
displays the open zones and descriptions.
Close open zones, or bypass them. Bypass any zone you cannot close. For details see
page 11.
Note: Bypassed zones are not protected.
•Arming the System
When the system is ready, the LCD display shows the system type, date and time, and
the green <Ready> indicator is lit.
Before leaving premises the system has to be armed.
When the system is Ready,enter user code and then <ENTER> to arm the system.
The system prompts you to exit the protected area.

installer as to what option may be programmed.
How to start Walk test Mode
In PW16 only -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> <836> <ENTER>
The keypad buzzer will beep 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 will be displayed at the keypad.
To terminate Walk-test mode press <ENTER>
The keypad will stop beeping and automatically exit CLIENT mode.
(In FW64 –see User's Operating and Programming guide )
How to Answer an in-coming call
In PW16 only -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.
To answer an In-coming Call press <PROGRAM> <835> <ENTER>
Provided the line connected to the alarm was ringing at the time the panel will now
