1.2. ecurity ystem Components
Your security system is made up of a Control System, various detectors and a number of
optional peripheral devices. his section explains the role of each component in your
system.
Control System
he 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 video modules are able to detect an intruder moving
across its field of view and snap an 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
he keypads enable you to communicate with the Control System
in order to perform a number of different functions. he 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.
he sirens are sounded and the strobes are activated during certain
alarm conditions serving to warn you and ward off intruders.
ARGSEGURIDAD SRL

1.3. ystem 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. his 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. his 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. elf-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. his 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. Telecontrol
he iConnect offers a range of “ elecontrol” features that provide remote access via
the telephone. hese features include remote arming/disarming, HA on/off, PGM output
activation/deactivation, siren cancel and wo-Way audio via the Control System’s built-
in microphone and speaker -- see elecontrol.
he wo-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.
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 Access
he Web Application provides an interface to your security system from your Internet
browser. Via the Web 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 whom you wish to be alerted (by email or text message) when selected
events occur.
he application also allows you to check your home at any time either by viewing a
history of recent events that have occurred or by viewing streaming video from cameras
