Chapter One: Introduction and Overview
This user manual explains all you need to know about your infiniti security system and
provides step-by-step instructions for all the infiniti’s user functions. In addition to the
explanation you will receive from your installer, we urge you to read this manual so that
you can take full advantage of your system’s features. Keep this manual in an accessible
location for future reference.
The infiniti system has many features in order to suit a wide range of applications. This
manual outlines all of these features but it is likely that there are options that are not
relevant to your system. If you have any questions regarding the availability of the
features described in the manual, please ask your installer.
1.1: Security System Components
Your security system is made up of a control panel, various sensors and a number of optional
peripheral devices. This section explains the role of each component in your system.
Control Panel
The control panel 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
sensor sends a signal to the control panel indicating
that it has sensed motion on the premises. On
receiving this signal, the control panel makes the
decision to report the alarm to your monitoring service
and activate the siren.
Sensors
Sensors are the devices that protect your home, alerting the control
panel when there is a breach in security. Magnetic contacts protect
your doors and windows while motion sensors are able detect an
intruder moving across its field of view. Additionally, smoke sensors
can be installed to provide an early warning in the event of a fire.
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 panic
alarms and various home automation functions.
Keypads
The keypads enable you to communicate with the control panel 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
While the control panel includes a built-in internal siren, it is possible
that you also have an external siren installed. The sirens are
sounded during certain alarm conditions serving to warn you and
ward off intruders.

-4-
1.2: System Monitoring
When an event occurs within the system, the control panel 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.
1.3: 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.
1.4: Cellular Monitoring and Control
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. You can also control the appliances controlled by the Home
Automation feature using SMS commands and receive confirmation when the command
is received.
A sensor detects. The control panel is alerted.  An alarm is generated and the
monitoring service is notified.

Chapter Three: 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 sensors. If a sensor detects an intrusion, the system
generates an alarm.
Certain sensors, such as smoke sensors, are always active regardless of system status.
3.1: Arming the System
Three arming modes are available: Full, Part and Perimeter. These modes enable you to
arm your system using different methods.
Full 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
This arming method enables you to arm a section of your home while
remaining on a different part of the premises.
Perimeter Arming
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.
Before arming the system, check that all doors and windows are secured so that the
system is ready for arming.
To arm the system using the keypad:
• Press one of the three arming keys; the exit delay begins to count down. At the
end of the exit delay, the system is armed.
,If the One-key Arming option is disabled in programming, you must enter your user code
when arming the system.
To arm the system using a keyfob:
• Press the relevant button on your keyfob (see Figure 2.3); the exit delay begins
to count down.
At the end of the exit delay, the system is armed.
Forced Arming
Forced arming enables you to arm when the system is not ready. For example, if a door
protected by a magnetic contact is open, you may arm the system on condition that the
door will be closed by the end of the Exit delay. If the door is still open after the exit delay
expires, an alarm is generated.
,Forced arming is available only if the option is enabled in programming. Forced arming
may be enabled for specific zones or for the entire system.

Chapter Five: Home Automation
Home Automation is an optional feature that requires an add-on expansion module.
Home Automation enables you to control up to 16 individual lights and appliances around
the home. In this section, we shall refer to these lights and appliances as HA units.
HA units can be controlled using the keypad and keyfobs or programmed to react to
specific system status conditions. For example, an HA unit can be programmed to switch
on when the system is armed or when a specific zone is triggered. Additionally, the
Randomize feature is designed to switch lights on and off at night when the system is
armed. This gives potential intruders the impression that the house is occupied.
5.1: Keypad Control
Two keys on the keypad enable you send On and Off commands to HA units. How an
HA unit reacts to the On command is determined by the installer in programming.
The HA unit can be programmed to switch on until the Off command is received or
automatically switch itself off after a pre-programmed amount of time.
To turn HA units on using the keypad:
1. Press the On key.
2. Enter the two-digit HA unit number (01-16); the chosen HA unit
switches on.

programmed by the installer. For further information on keyfob button assignments refer
to 2.2: Keyfobs.
5.3: SMS Control
If your system supports cellular communication, you can control HA units remotely via
your mobile phone using a number of SMS commands. The SMS commands are
designed to be entered as templates on your mobile phone.
Each SMS command contains the following elements:
• SMS Command Descriptor (up to 43 characters long)
• # (separates the descriptor from the actual command)
• User Code
• Command (0=Off, 1=On)
• HA Unit Number (01-16)
