10 Solution 6+6 Operators Manual
ISSUE123.DOC Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited

Basic System Operation
The overall purpose of your alarm system is to deter any would be intruder
from entering your premises.
Before leaving your home or office, make sure all windows and doors are
closed. Enter your designated followed by the button. Your alarm
system will now arm in AWAY Mode and commence counting down the exit
time.
After the exit time has expired, you will hear one long beep at the remote
codepad to indicate that the system has been armed in AWAY Mode. Any
unsealed zones will be automatically isolated. The control panel is now ready
to activate the sirens and strobe lights should an alarm occur.
If a zone that is sealed has triggered after exit time has expired, a number of
events will occur. Following is a typical sequence of events.
1. The control panel will activate any audible devices such as sirens,
flashing blue strobe light and the communications dialler.
2. The communication dialler will transmit all relevant alarm information
via the telephone line alerting the respective persons of the current state
of events.
3. The siren timer will commence counting down as soon as an alarm
occurs. When the siren run time expires, the siren will automatically
reset and be placed into a ready state for the next alarm.
4. Upon your return, the blue strobe light may still be operating to inform
you that there has been an alarm.
5. One or a number of zone indicators will be flashing, allowing you to
identify the particular zone(s) that caused the alarm condition.
This is a very basic outline of the general system operation. As there are many
features available in the Solution 6+6 control panel, there could be
numerous variations from the above sequence.
Solution 6+6 Operators Manual 11
Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited ISSUE123.DOC

Code Retries Code retries restricts the amount of times an invalid user code can be used in
an attempt to operate the system. An alarm caused by this is known as a
"Codepad Tamper Alarm". When a codepad tamper alarm occurs, the system
will carry out the following events;
1. Activate the sirens and strobe connected to the control panel. Contact
your installer if you require this to be silent.
2. Shutdown all codepads that are connected and automatically disable them
from operating the system. Your installer programs the length of time
they are disabled for.
3. Send an "Access Denied" report to the base station receiver (Optional).
This function operates when the system is in the armed or disarmed state. Each
time the system is armed or disarmed, the code retry counter will be reset. The
number of incorrect code attempts can be anywhere between 1 to 15. This
value is programmed by your installer. Refer to the "Installation Notes" on
page 66 for the number of code retries set by your installer.
Codepad Lockout Time
The codepad will be locked out for the time programmed by your installer if
the wrong code has been entered more times than allowed by the code retry
attempts.
Codepad Extinguish Mode
This option when programmed by your installer will allow the indicators on
your codepad to automatically extinguish when the codepad is not used for a
period of sixty seconds.
The indicators will illuminate once a button has been pressed on the remote
codepad, when an alarm has occurred or when the systems entry time has been
activated. The indicators will not illuminate when a silent alarm has been
triggered. This option can only be programmed by your installer.
12 Solution 6+6 Operators Manual
ISSUE123.DOC Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited

Alarm Memory If you return to your premises and you notice the strobe light flashing, then
care should be taken as this indicates that there has been an alarm condition
while you were away.
When you enter the building and disarm the system, you will notice one or a
number of zone indicators flashing rapidly. This indicates that the zone(s) in
question have triggered into alarm.
If the zone indicator is flashing fast (On 0.25 sec/Off 0.25 sec), this indicates
that one of the 6 burglary zones has activated into alarm. If the zone indicator
is flashing fast (On 0.1 sec/Off 0.1 sec), then this indicates that one of the 6
tamper zones has activated into alarm. You should take note of this
information so that it can be passed onto your installer should they require it.
It is also possible to interrogate your alarm system using the event memory
recall function. This will allow you or your installer to interpret the exact
sequence of events that had occurred. Refer to "Event Memory Recall Mode"
on page 39 for more information.
Sensor Watch Time
Sensor watch is part of the control panel's watchdog circuitry. It is a feature
designed to ensure that all your detection devices are working correctly.
Sensor watch time determines how many days (0-99) a zone may remain sealed
before registering as a fault. This feature is only active while the system is in
the disarmed state because while your system is armed, the detection devices
are on stand-by waiting to be activated.
If a zone programmed for sensor watch has not triggered and reset during this
time, the FAULT indicator will illuminate and the codepad will beep once every
minute. To cancel the codepad beeping once every minute, press the
button. Refer to "Fault Descriptions" on page 32 for more information. Refer
to "Installation Notes" on page 66 for the sensor watch time set by your
installer.
Solution 6+6 Operators Manual 13
Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited ISSUE123.DOC

Day Alarm Day alarm may be used to monitor the front door of a shop or a pool gate. Day
alarm enables a combination of zones to be monitored while the system is in
the disarmed state. An indication is available via any of the programmable
outputs including the codepad buzzer. Only zones 1 - 4 may be used as day
alarm monitored zones. Refer to the "Installation Notes" on page 66 to check
which zones have been allocated to operate for day alarm.
Day Alarm Resetting
An output that has been programmed for day alarm resetting will operate when
a zone selected for day alarm is triggered. The output will reset when the zone
returns to normal. This can only occur when the system is disarmed.
Day Alarm Latching
An output that has been programmed for day alarm latching will operate when
a zone selected for day alarm is triggered. The output will reset when the
button has been pressed. This can only occur when the system is disarmed.
Example If you have multiple zones programmed for day alarm and one of them has
triggered, it is difficult to know which zone caused the alarm. Using the option
of day alarm latching will solve the problem. When a day alarm zone triggers,
all zone indicators are turned off leaving only the zone or zones that caused the
day alarm illuminated. To clear the day alarm memory, press the button.
Operation
Day alarm is turned on and off by holding the 4button down for two seconds
or alternatively, you may enter the followed by 7and the
button. Refer to "Hold Down Functions" on page 45 for more information.
Three beeps indicate that day alarm is turned on, two beeps indicate that day
alarm is turned off.
If a zone has been programmed for day alarm, it can be isolated in the normal
way. The isolated zone therefore will not register as a day alarm zone.
14 Solution 6+6 Operators Manual
ISSUE123.DOC Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited

Entry Time Entry time is the amount of time allowed to disarm your system after you have
opened the entry delay zone. During the entry time, the codepad buzzer will
beep twice per second warning you to disarm your system. An alarm will
activate if you do not disarm your system before the entry time expires. Refer
to the "Installation Notes" on page 66 for the entry time set by your installer.
Exit Time Exit time is the amount of time you have to leave your premises after you have
entered your code to arm the system. You will hear a long beep from the
codepad to indicate the end of exit time. Make sure you exit your premises
before this time expires. Refer to "Installation Notes" on page 66 for the
programmed exit time set by your installer.
System Date and Time
The control panel has a real time 12 month calendar and 24 hour clock that
needs to be set and changed for daylight savings. This will allow the system to
log events and send test reports with accurate time stamping if programmed.
Refer to "Master Code Functions" on page 34 for more information on setting
the date and time.
Solution 6+6 Operators Manual 15
Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited ISSUE123.DOC

User Codes The purpose of user codes is to arm and disarm the system as well as perform
other specific functions as described in the Master Code Functions on page 34.
User codes can be any length between one to four digits long. Each user code
can have a different priority level allocated to it. This controls the behaviour of
the code, allowing it to arm only or to arm and disarm etc.
There are a total of 8 user codes available that can be altered or deleted at any
time by a Master Code holder. Multiple Master Codes may be programmed.
Refer to “Changing and Deleting User Codes”on page 35 for more information
on adding, deleting or changing user codes.
The priority level for each user code can only be programmed or changed by the
installer.
User Code 32 will report to the monitoring company when any of the following
methods for arming and disarming are used.
1. Arm and disarm via remote radio control equipment connected to the
optional Radio Key/Keyswitch Interface or Night Arm Station.
2. Arm the system remotely over the telephone.
3. Single button arming in AWAY Mode or STAY Mode.
4. Single button disarming from STAY Mode.
16 Solution 6+6 Operators Manual
ISSUE123.DOC Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited

User Code Priority There are seven different priority levels that can be allocated to the user code.
Each priority level allows or restricts the functions that different user code
holders may perform.
If user code priority levels 4, 6 or 12 have been programmed to any of the
available 8 user codes, the method of standard isolating will no longer operate.
Only those user codes with the priority level of 4, 6 or 12 will be able to isolate
zones using the method code to isolate.
