Arming The System
There are several different ways to arm the system depending on whether you are leaving the
premises and require all active zones to be in a ready state for an intruder, or, if you are
remaining in the premises and only require part of the system to be in a ready state for an
intruder.
If a zone is not sealed at the end of exit time, the zone will be automatically isolated and will
be constantly displayed on the codepad. The zone will again become an active part of the
system when the zone has restored (ie. If a window is left open after exit time has expired,
the window will not be an active part of the system until the window has closed. Opening
the window after exit time has expired will cause an alarm condition).
The different methods for arming the system include:
 AWAY Mode
Arms the entire system. Refer to Arming In AWAY Mode on page 10.
 STAY Mode 1
Arms all zones except those programmed to be automatically isolated by the installer.
Refer to Arming In STAY Mode 1 on page 11.
 STAY Mode 2
Arms all zones except those programmed to be automatically isolated by the Master
Code holder. Refer to Arming In STAY Mode 2 on page 12.
Forced Arming
The feature of arming the system when a zone is not sealed is known as forced arming. If
the system does not arm and a long beep is heard, forced arming is not permitted. If this is
the case, you must ensure that all zones are sealed or manually isolated before you can arm
the system. Refer to Isolating Zones on page 15 for more information.
Arming In AWAY Mode
When you leave your premises and require all zones to be in a ready state to detect intrusion,
you would arm the system in AWAY Mode.
There are two different methods for arming the system in AWAY Mode. Method one is
standard and will always operate. Method two is optional and may be disabled by your
installer if you do not wish to use single button arming.
Method One
How To Arm The System In AWAY Mode
1. Enter your user code followed by the # button (eg. 2580#).
Two beeps will be heard and the AWAY indicator will display. Exit time will now
commence counting.
Method Two
How To Arm The System In AWAY Mode
1. Press and hold the # button until two beeps are heard.
The AWAY indicator will display and exit time will commence counting.

Arming In STAY Mode 1
STAY Mode 1 is only used when the perimeter and unused areas of the premises need to be
armed to detect any would be intruder from entering the premises and at the same time,
allowing you to move freely within an area that has been automatically isolated. Only your
security company can program zones to be automatically isolated in STAY Mode 1.
There are two different methods for arming the system in STAY Mode 1. Method one is
standard and will always operate. Method two is optional and may be disabled by your
installer if you do not wish to use single button arming.
Entry Guard Timer For STAY Mode
When arming the system in STAY Mode 1, an optional entry timer called Entry Guard
Timer For STAY Mode may be used to delay the sirens if a zone that has not been
automatically isolated has triggered into alarm condition. Entry Guard Timer For STAY
Mode is the delay time used for all zones except 24-hour zones when the system is armed in
STAY Mode 1 or STAY Mode 2.
If the Entry Guard Timer For STAY Mode has been programmed and a zone that has not
been automatically isolated has triggered, the codepad will beep twice a second until the
Entry Guard Timer For STAY Mode has expired or the system has been disarmed. If the
alarm condition has not been reset by entering your user code followed by the # button (eg.
2580#) before the Entry Guard Time For STAY Mode expires, the sirens will activate into
alarm. Only your installer can program this feature.
Method One
How To Arm The System In STAY Mode 1
1. Enter your user code followed by the * button (eg. 2580*).
Two beeps will be heard and the STAY indicator will display. Exit time will now
commence counting.
Any zones that have been programmed to be automatically isolated in STAY Mode 1
will flash until exit time expires. At the end of exit time, all zones selected to be
automatically isolated will extinguish and the codepad will give one short beep.
Method Two
How To Arm The System In STAY Mode 1
1. Press and hold the * button until two beeps are heard.
The STAY indicator will display and exit time will now commence counting.

Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited ISSUE150

Arming In STAY Mode 2
STAY Mode 2 is only used when the perimeter and unused areas of the premises need to be
armed to detect any would be intruder from entering the premises and at the same time,
allowing you to move freely within an area that has been automatically isolated. Any Master
Code holder can program programming zones to be automatically isolated in STAY Mode 2.
Entry Guard Timer For STAY Mode
When arming the system in STAY Mode 2, an optional entry timer called Entry Guard
Timer For STAY Mode may be used to delay the sirens if a zone that has not been
automatically isolated has triggered into alarm condition. Entry Guard Timer For STAY
Mode is the delay time used for all zones except 24-hour zones when the system is armed in
STAY Mode 1 or STAY Mode 2.
If the Entry Guard Timer For STAY Mode has been programmed and a zone that has not
been automatically isolated has triggered, the codepad will beep twice a second until the
Entry Guard Timer For STAY Mode has expired or the system has been disarmed. If the
alarm condition has not been reset by entering your user code followed by the # button (eg.
2580#) before the Entry Guard Time For STAY Mode expires, the sirens will activate into
alarm. Only your installer can program this option.
How To Arm The System In STAY Mode 2
1. Press and hold the 0 button until two beeps are heard.
The STAY indicator will display and exit time will now commence counting.
Any zones that have been programmed to be automatically isolated in STAY Mode 2
will flash until exit time expires. At the end of exit time, all zones selected to be
automatically isolated will extinguish and the codepad will give one short beep.
Programming STAY Mode 2 Zones
Programming zones to be automatically isolated in STAY Mode 2 can only be carried out if
you have a Master Code.
How To Program STAY Mode 2 Zones
1. Enter your Master Code followed by 8 and the # button (eg. 2580 + 8 + #).
Three beeps will be heard and the STAY indicator will begin to flash.
2. Enter the zone number that you wish to have automatically isolated followed by the *
button (eg. 1* = Zone 1 / 2* = Zone 2 etc).
You will notice that the zone you have selected to be automatically isolated in STAY
Mode 2 will now flash. If you have made a mistake, enter the same zone number
followed by the # button to clear the incorrect zone.
To select additional zones to be automatically isolated in STAY Mode 2, repeat Step 2
as many times as required.
3. Press the # button when you have selected all zones to be automatically isolated in
STAY Mode 2 to exit this mode. Two beeps will be heard and the STAY and AWAY

Codepad Duress Alarm
A codepad duress alarm is used as a silent hold-up alarm. This will only occur when the
number 9 is added to the end of any valid user code that us being used to disarm the system
(eg. 2580 + 9#). A duress alarm is only useful if your system is reporting back to a
monitoring station or pocket pager as domestic reporting (ie. mobile phone etc) can’t
decipher which type of alarm had occurred.
Codepad Panic Alarm
An audible alarm will be activated when both the 1 and 3 buttons or both the *
and # buttons are pressed simultaneously. Contact your installer if you wish to
disable the ability to activate the codepad panic alarm or if you wish to have the
codepad panic alarm to be silent.
Note
Software Version 1.10 – 1.36 will sound a panic alarm when you press both
the 4 and 6 buttons or the 7 and 9 buttons simultaneously.
Codepad Fire Alarm
(Version 1.37 + Only) A distinct fire sound is emitted via the horn speaker when
both the 4 and 6 buttons on the codepad are pressed simultaneously. Contact
your installer if you wish to disable the ability to activate the codepad fire alarm
or if you wish to have the codepad fire alarm to be silent.
Codepad Medical Alarm
(Version 1.37 + Only) An audible alarm will be activated when both the 7 and 9
buttons on the codepad are pressed simultaneously. Contact your installer if you
wish to disable the ability to activate the codepad medical alarm or if you wish to
have codepad medical alarm to be silent.
Codepad Tamper (Access Denied)

ISSUE150 Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited

Isolating Zones
Isolating zones allow you to manually disable one or more zones before arming the system.
Once a zone has been isolated, access is allowed into that zone during the armed state
without activating an alarm.
An example when you may require to isolate a zone before arming the system could be when
a PIR detector may be false alarming or that you may need to leave a pet inside a particular
zone whilst you are away.
Isolating zones is performed by one of two methods. Method two is optional and only
allows those user codes programmed by your installer to have access to isolate zones.
Standard Isolating
Standard isolating allows all operators to be able to isolate zones without the need to know a
valid user code.
How To Isolate AZone
1. Press the * button twice to enter the isolating mode.
Three beeps will be heard and the STAY indicator will flash.
2. Enter the zone number (1 – 16) that you wish to select to isolate followed by the *
button. (eg. 1* = Zone 1, 16* = Zone 16 etc).
As you select each zone to be isolated, you will notice that the corresponding zone
indicator will begin to flash. If you selected an incorrect zone to be isolated, enter the
incorrect zone number again followed by the * button.
Repeat Step 2 if more than one zone is required to be isolated until all zone that are
required to be isolated have been selected.
3. Press the # button after you have selected all zones to be isolated.
Two beeps will be heard and the system will return to the disarmed state.
Solution-16 Operators Manual 15
Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited ISSUE150

Code To Isolate
The method will restrict only those user codes that have the priority level ‘Code To Isolate’
set to be able to isolate zones. Therefore, if any user code has this priority level set, the
method of standard isolating will not function. Your security company can only program the
priority level for each user code.
How To Isolate AZone
1. Press the * button followed by your user code and the * button again to enter the
isolating mode (eg. *2580*). Three beeps will be heard and the STAY indicator will
flash.
2. Enter the zone number (1 – 16) that you wish to select to isolate followed by the *
button. (eg. 1* = Zone 1, 16* = Zone 16 etc).
As you select each zone to be isolated, you will notice that the corresponding zone
indicator will begin to flash. If you selected an incorrect zone to be isolated, enter the
incorrect zone number again followed by the * button.
Repeat Step 2 if more than one zone is required to be isolated until all zones that are
required to be isolated have been selected.
3. Press the # button after you have selected all zones to be isolated.
Two beeps will be heard and the system will return to the disarmed state.
Fault Analysis Mode
If a system fault should occur, the FAULT or MAINS indicator will flash and the codepad
will beep once ever minute.
If the AC mains supply has failed, the MAINS indicator will flash until the AC mains supply
has restored. Pressing the # button once will acknowledge the fault and stop the codepad
from beeping once every minute.
How To Determine TheType Of System Fault
To determine which system fault has occurred, enter fault analysis mode by following the
steps outlined below.
1. Press and hold button 5 until two beeps are heard.
The FAULT indicator will remain steady and the STAY and AWAY indicators will
flash in unison with each other.
A zone indicator will display to indicate the type of fault that has occurred (eg. Zone 1
= Battery Fail). Refer to Table 7: Fault Indicators on page 17 for the list of different
faults that may occur.
2. To exit and return to the disarmed state, press the # button. The FAULT indicator will
remain displayed and the codepad will cease its once a minute beep.
