1. About your Alarm System
Introduction
Your alarm system consists of a control panel which is connected to the mains power supply,
one or more remote keypads and various detection devices that are wired back to the
control panel. The control panel will normally be installed out of sight in a utility room or
under stairs cupboard etc. The control panel houses the system’s electronics and stand-by
battery. There is normally no reason for anyone except an installer or service person to have
access to the control panel.
The remote keypad provides the user interface for the system and is used to send
commands to the system and to display the current system status via the various coloured
lights (LED’s) and/or LCD display. The remote keypad also provides audible feedback
annunciation of fault and alarm tones. Each remote keypad should be mounted in
convenient locations inside the protected premises, near to the points of entry and exit.
Please read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system’s
operation. Become familiar with the features that have been implemented on your system.
All users of this system should be equally instructed in its use.
About this Manual
This manual provides a thorough explanation of all system functions that are available to the
master user, including troubleshooting and programming user access codes in addition to
performing basic system functions. Standard users of the system will not need to know all of
this information. The section “Operating your Alarm System” explains general operating
procedures for arming and disarming the system. The remaining sections of the manual are
reserved for more detailed system information.
Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and
providing a warning alarm if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on
having adequate numbers of smoke and heat detectors placed in appropriate locations. This
equipment should be installed in accordance with the relevant local authority fire
regulations. Carefully review the “Fire Escape Planning” guidelines in this manual.
Your installer must enable the fire detection feature before it will work.
Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information over
telephone lines to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). If you inadvertently initiate an alarm,
immediately call the ARC to prevent an unnecessary response.
Your installer must enable the monitoring function before it will work.

P0031-LU-02.01 5
Zones
A zone is an area of protection that has one or more detection devices connected to it
(motion detectors, glass-break detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). A single zone
might be a room, a hallway or a door or window.
Access Codes
The EC-P8 control panel can have up to a total of 11 users. User 00 is the engineer and
cannot be accessed by the normal users. User 01 is the master user and has access to all
user menus. Users 02 to 11 default to not in use and be assigned by either the engineer or
master user.
As a user of the alarm system, you will be assigned a 4, 5 or 6 digit access code. Access
codes are used to arm and disarm the system. Some access codes can perform additional
system functions, such as programming system options, bypassing zones and performing
system tests.
Your access code may not allow you to access certain system functions. For instance, if your
code is only allowed to arm the system you will not be able to disarm the system, once the
system is armed.
Remote Keypads
One or more remote keypads will be installed throughout the protected premises, usually
close to the entry and exit door.
LED Keypad
The LED keypad features a dual 7 segment display for displaying zone status and system
fault messages. A set of dedicated system status LED’s for AC, Ready, Armed, Trouble,
Bypass, Alert and Alarm are also provided.

6 P0031-LU-02.01
LCD Keypad
The LCD keypad features a 2 x 20 character blue display for showing all zone status and
system fault messages. A set of dedicated system status LED’s for AC, Trouble and Alert are
also provided.
