Introduction
Congratulations on selecting the So lu t io n - 1 6 control system to protect you and your
property. So that you can obtain the most from your unit, we suggest that you take the time to
read through this manual and familiarise yourself with the numerous outstanding operating
features of this system.
You will notice that in all aspects of planning, engineering, styling, operation, convenience and
adaptability, we have sought to anticipate your every possible requirement. Programming
simplicity and speed have been some of the major considerations and we believe that our
objectives in this area have been more than satisfied.
This manual will explain all aspects of operating the control panel. All system parameters and
options are detailed, however suitability is left up to the individual. Every system can be tailored
to meet all requirements quickly and easily.
The So lu t io n range of control panels is very popular with thousands of people throughout
many countries of the globe, all of whom have various levels of technical aptitude and ability. We
have tried to aim this manual at all levels of readers.
As So lu t io n has continued to be improved over the years, it has become very powerful. Some
of its early first-time users have advanced to true “power users” and we need to address their
needs too, while maintaining the simplicity of the manual and the product.
This operators manual is intended for BOTH the So lu t io n - 1 6 Dialler (CC880) and the
So lu t io n - 1 6 Local (LP880) control panels. If you have a local panel (LP880), disregard all
references and features in this manual which involve telephone dialling.

Feat ur es
The So lu t io n - 1 6 security control system uses the very latest in microprocessor technology to
provide you with more useful features and superior reliability and performance.
Following is a list of some of the features and why they will be of benefit to you.
•Operating codes may be up to seven digits long. This allows for a far greater combination of
codes and therefore a higher degree of security.
•Dynamic battery testing continually tests and monitors the stand-by battery’s condition. As
batteries do not last forever, this feature will warn you of a poor battery condition before an
alarm occurs.
•Day alarm warning allows you to monitor the opening of a front door in a shop or to prohibit
access into a particular area while the system is still disarmed.
•Remote arming is a unique feature that allows you to arm your system from any telephone in
the world. This is very useful if you forget to arm your system.
•The built in telephone dialler will alert you or your monitoring station of any alarm or adverse
event 24 hours a day. This highly sophisticated communications system is capable of
identifying and reporting many different events. For further information, please contact your
installer.
•All of the system configuration information is stored in non volatile memory which means that
many of the options can be programmed on site by the installer to best suit your needs. This
data is retained even when the power to the system is disconnected.
•STAY mode allows you to arm the system with predetermined areas disabled. This means that
you can arm your system at night while you are still at home thus giving you personal
protection.
Note: One option that can be programmed by your installer will prevent another installer or
technician from performing any service to your system. This should be discussed with
your installer.
Refer to “Optional Equipment” on page 54 for more details on accessories and other features that
can be used with your system.
