1.2. Security System Components
Your security system is made up of a Control System, various detectors and a number of
optional peripheral devices. This section explains the role of each component in your
system.
Control System
The Control System is the brain of the system. It
communicates with all the devices connected to the
system. For example, in the event of a burglary, a
detector sends a signal to the Control System
indicating that it has sensed motion on the premises.
On receiving this signal, the Control System makes
the decision to report the alarm to your monitoring
service and activate the siren.
Detectors
Detectors are the devices that protect your home, alerting the
Control System when there is a breach in security. Magnetic
contacts protect your doors and windows while motion detectors
with built-in image capture modules are able to detect an intruder
moving across its field of view and snap an instant image as proof
of intrusion. Additionally, smoke, carbon monoxide, gas leak and
flood detectors can be installed to provide an early warning in the
event of a fire, the presence of dangerous gases or the potential for
flooding.
Keyfobs
Keyfobs are hand-held transmitters that are used to operate the
system. Various keyfobs are available providing a number of
functions. For example, arming/disarming the system, sending
medical and panic alarms and various home automation functions.
Keypads
The keypads enable you to communicate with the Control System
in order to perform a number of different functions. The main
function you can perform using a keypad is to arm the system
when leaving your home and to disarm on your return.
Sirens and Strobes
While the Control System includes a built-in internal siren, it is
possible that you also have an external siren and strobes installed.
The sirens are sounded and the strobes are activated during certain
alarm conditions serving to warn you and ward off intruders.

-8-
1.3. System Monitoring
When an event occurs within the system, the Control System sends a message to your
monitoring service describing the exact nature of the event. This enables the monitoring
service to take the required action. System monitoring can implement either regular
telephone or cellular communication.
Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. This system is only intended
to alert you in case of an emergency and should not take the place of prudent security
practices or life and property insurance.
1.4. Home Automation
An optional expansion module can provide you with the ability to control up to 16
individual electrical appliances or lights using the front panel keypad, wireless keypads
or keyfobs. Additionally, each appliance can be programmed to be turned on and off
automatically according to various schedules and system status conditions.
1.5. Self-Monitoring
In addition to the ability to report to a monitoring service, the system can also send you
and other users notification when an event occurs. This may be in the form of vocal
messages played over the telephone or, if your system supports cellular communication,
you can receive information on system status via SMS. If an alarm occurs on the
premises, you are informed no matter where you are in the world.
1.6. Telephone Control
DTMF Telecontrol
The iConnect offers a range of “Telecontrol” features that provide remote access via
the telephone. These features include remote arming/disarming, HA on/off, PGM output
activation/deactivation, siren cancel and Two-Way audio via the Control System’s built-
in microphone and speaker -- see Telecontrol.
The Two-Way Audio features allow you to contact your home directly in the event of an
alarm or simply to check the premises when you are away.
A detector detects. The Control System is alerted.  An alarm is generated and the
monitoring service is notified.

-9-
SMS Control
Using your cellular phone, you can also send commands to the appliances controlled by
the Home Automation feature using SMS and receive confirmation when the command
is received.
1.7. Vocal Message Annunciation
Vocal message annunciation is an optional feature that, if enabled in programming,
causes the system to play short messages that indicate system status.
1.8. Web/Smartphone Access
The Web/Smartphone application provides an interface to your security system from
your Internet browser or Smartphone. You can perform a wide range of tasks such as
arm/disarm, zone bypass, user code management and home automation control.
Additionally, you can set up the contacts for whom you wish to be alerted (by email or
text message) when selected events occur.
The Web/Smartphone application also allows you to check your home at any time either
by viewing the history of recent events that have occurred or by viewing video
snapshots from PIR cameras installed on the premises. For further information, see Web
User Application

2. The User Interface
There are several methods you can use to operate the system. Apart from the keypad on
the front panel, your system may include a number of peripheral devices such as
keypads and keyfobs.
This chapter provides a brief introduction to each of the devices you can use to operate
the system. It is important that you familiarize yourself with these devices before
reading the following chapters that shall describe system operation in further detail.
The front panel is the main user interface that provides you with all the functions you
need to control your security system. iConnect Control System is available with the
LCD front panel configuration.
2.1. Front Panel

3. Arming and Disarming
Arming can be defined as activating the system. When the system is armed, it monitors
the zones that are protected by the detectors. If a detector detects an intrusion, the
system generates an alarm.
3.1. Arming Modes
Three arming modes are available: Full, Part and Perimeter. These modes enable you to
arm your system accordingly to suit different circumstances.
Full Arming Part Arming Perimeter Arming
Full arming activates the entire
system. This arming method is
used when you intend to leave
your home, leaving the
premises empty.
Part arming enables you to
arm a section of your home
while remaining on a different
part of the premises.
Perimeter arming enables you
to activate the perimeter zones
(the windows and doors of
your home) enabling you to
move freely within the
protected area.
Certain detectors, such as smoke, carbon monoxide, gas and flood detectors, are always
active regardless of system status.
3.2. Arming the System
Before arming the system, check that all doors and windows are secured so that the
system is ready for arming.
If the One-key Arming option is disabled in programming, you must enter your
user code when arming the system from a keypad.
Arming with the Front Panel or Wireless Keypad
To arm the system using the front panel or Wireless Keypad:
xPress one of the three arming keys; the exit delay begins to count
down. At the end of the exit delay, the system is armed.
