.KEYPADS USAGE
PREGIO control units are multi-area devices capable of
managing up to 16 sectors.
During unit installation, sectors can be divided into:
• 4 areas with 4 sectors each;
• 2 areas with 8 sectors each;
• 1 area with all the 16 sectors.
Keypads allow to perform arming and disarming opera-
tions considering such distribution.

..Sector keys
Keypads are equipped with 4 sector keys allowing
the selection of sectors to be armed/disarmed.
Sector keys indications may vary according to the distri-
bution of sectors among areas.
4 Areas / 4 sectors mode
With 4 areas/4 sectors mode, each sector key is asso-
ciated to a sector of the currently operating area in a
univocal way; the sector keys provide information about
arming status of the corresponding sector (key S1 for
sector 1, key S2 for sector 2, etc.)

The installer can set an output to activate when the tem-
perature reaches one of the thresholds and to reset
when the temperature falls again within thresholds set.
If the temperature is not over/under thresholds set, the
output can be reset also by users in the two following
ways (it is required the installer has set one output with
“A-B temperature control” function associated to a SX
sector key):
• from keypad: key in user code + SX
• via remote control SMS S.X (see “8. REMOTE INTER-
ROGATION AND REMOTE CONTROL” on page 17

.ECONNECT USAGE
e-Connect is a supervision software for EL.MO. intrusion
detection systems. It allows users to control and mana-
ge their systems via the Internet, a PC or a smartphone
application.
Operations with e-Connect software:
• check control unit status (anomalies, tamper events,
alarms);
• arm / disarm procedures;
• read events log;
• enable/disable outputs.
For the correct use of e-Connect software, PREGIO500
unit has to be equipped with MDWIFIH or MDGSMI mo-
dules. The installer has to configure the unit suitably and
set one user account.
To access e-Connect, download the app (available for
Android, iOS and Windows systems) or login to
https://connect.elmospa.com.
For more details on e-Connect, please see the user ma-
nual on elmospa.com site (also for download).
.MAX SECURITY PROPERTY
Sectors can be armed with Max Security property; such
property can be set by the installer during configuration.
When a sector is armed in max security mode it can only
be disabled:
- by a user with ‘max security’ property (enabled via
BrowserOne during configuration);
- via weekly programmer;
- by the installer, via software.
.A  ‘ ’

A sector can be armed with Max Security property:
• by a user with Max Security property: in such case the
sector is armed in User Max Security mode;
• by the weekly programmer: in such case is armed in
Weekly Programmer Max Security mode.
The User Max Security property is reset at any disar-
ming; when a sector armed with Max Security property
is disarmed the property is reset. On the contrary, the
Weekly Programmer Max Security property is reset
by “Max Security Set” and “Max Security Reset” weekly
programmer functions only.

16
In detail, if a sector is armed in Weekly Pro-
grammer Max Security mode and a user with
max security property performs a disarm, the
Weekly Programmer Max Security property
remains active. Therefore, at the next control
unit arming it will be armed with Max Security
property, even if the arming is performed by a
user without the Max Security property.
However, if the disarming is performed via
weekly programmer “Max Security Reset”
function, the sector property will be reset and
the sector can be armed in the standard way.
