3. Setting, Unsetting, and Restoring the System
The following functions are available to users by entering using just their user
code; these functions do not require menu navigation on the Keypad. User
codes can be 4, 5, or 6 digits, depending upon the Grade the system has been
programmed to.
A user’s ability to see menus and options available on the SigNET 200/300
system is programmed by the installation engineer. If users cannot see an option
described in this manual, they do not have rights to access that functionality.
When the user code is entered, the digits are displayed as asterixes on the
display and the left function key displays the QUIT option. This is for security
reasons, so codes are not visible when entered.
After entering the user code, the following options are presented: FULLSET,
PARTSET A, PARTSET B, MENUS. Scroll through these options by using the
up/down arrow keys.
3.1 Setting the System: FULLSET
The FULLSET option provides the following functionality:
•Full protection to a building (opening of alarm zones activates alarm)
•Opening of entry/exit zones starts the entry timer. If the alarm is not
unset before the entry timer expires, the alarm is activated
To select the FULLSET option, enter a valid user code, and press SELECT (right
soft key). The second line of the display counts down the exit timer and the
buzzer sounds to indicate that the user should exit the building. When the
system has been fully set, the LCD displays FULLSET on the bottom line for
approximately 10 seconds.
If the alarm fails to set, see Section 3.4, Failing to Set the System.
3.2 Setting the System: PARTSET A
The PARTSET A option provides the following functionality:
•Perimeter protection to a building while allowing free movement through

3.4 Failing to Set the System
If the message FAILED TO SET is displayed on the Keypad, it means an open
or fault condition was detected on an alarm zone when the FULLSET or
PARTSET A/B option was selected. The Keypad also displays the zone number
and description.
To set the system, locate the zone and close or fix the fault. Repeat the
FULLSET or PARTSET A/B operation.
3.5 Force Setting the System
The system can be forced to set while an alarm zone is still open. This operation
inhibits the open zone and sets the system as normal.
If a user has the right to FORCE SET the system and an alarm zone is open,
when the FULLSET or PARTSET option is selected, the Keypad buzzer beeps
and the first line of the display indicates the open zone. The user is presented
with the options to QUIT (left soft key) or FORCE (right soft key).
QUIT: Selecting this option aborts the attempt to set the system and returns the
user to User Programming
FORCE: Selecting this option inhibits the open zone and forces the system to set
3.6 Unsetting the System
To UNSET a system:
1. Enter a valid user code. The Keypad displays a prompt to unset the
system.
2. To UNSET the system, press SELECT (right soft key). The Keypad
display indicates that the system is unset on the bottom line of the
display for approximately 5 seconds. After this time has elapsed, the
bottom line is cleared.
3. If the alarm has been activated, entering the user code silences all bells
and strobes and the message PANEL DISARMED is displayed on the
Keypad for approximately 5 seconds.
4. The source of the alarm condition is displayed on the Keypad and the
Alert LED flashes. The Keypad continues to display the alert until the
alert is restored.
3.7 Restoring an Alarm Activation (Alert)
Alarm conditions on the SigNET 200/300 are indicated on the Keypad by a
flashing yellow Alert LED (see Section 2, Using the Keypad) and by activation of
the buzzer. The Keypad displays the location and nature of the alert condition.
To restore an alert condition triggered by a zone opening:
1. Locate the open zone (displayed on the Keypad) and restore the alarm
sensor to its normal state by closing the door or window.
2. Enter a valid user code and select the RESTORE option (right soft key).
The zone that caused the alert is displayed on the top line of the display.
3. Press the right menu key to restore the alert. The message ALL ALERTS
RESTORED is displayed and the flashing Alert LED is turned off.
For system or communications type alert conditions (Mains failure or E-BUS
disconnect), locate the source of the alert condition and check that all wires and
cables are properly connected.
For a tamper alert, ensure the lids on all enclosures and devices are correctly
closed. If the physical fault cannot be restored to its normal operating state,

Operation User Profile
Default
Description
FULLSET
Limited
Standard
Master
The FULLSET operation fully sets the alarm system and provides full
protection to a building (opening of any alarm zones activates the alarm).
On selecting FULLSET, the buzzer sounds and the Keypad display
counts down the exit time period. Exit the building before this time period
has expired.
When the exit time period has expired, the system is set and opening of
entry/exit zones starts the entry timer. If the system is not Unset before
the entry timer expires, the alarm is activated.
To perform a FULLSET, see Section 3.1.
PARTSET A
Standard
Master
The PARTSET A option provides perimeter protection to a building while
allowing free movement through the exit and access areas.
Zones that have been classified as EXCLUDE A remain unprotected in
this mode. By default, there is no exit time; the system sets instantly on
selection of this mode. An exit timer can be applied to this mode by
enabling the Partset A timed variable.
To perform a PARTSET A, see Section 3.2.
PARTSET B
Standard
Master
The PARTSET B option applies protection to all zones except those that
have been classified as EXCLUDE B.
By default there is no exit time; the system sets instantly on selection of
this mode. An exit timer can be applied to this mode by enabling the
Partset B timed variable.
To perform a PARTSET B, see Section 3.3.
FORCESET
Standard
Master
The FORCESET option is presented on the Keypad display when an
attempt is made to set the system while an alarm zone is faulty or still
open (the top line of the display shows the open zone).
Selecting this option sets the alarm and inhibits the zone for that set
period.
To perform a FORCESET, see Section 3.5.

again. All zone types on the SigNET 200/300 can be isolated.
Use of this feature to deactivate faulty or open zones should be considered carefully;
once a zone is isolated, it is ignored by the system and could be overlooked when
setting the system in the future, compromising the security of the premises.
To ISOLATE a zone, see Section 4.1.
INHIBIT
Standard
Master
Inhibiting a zone deactivates that zone for one alarm set period. Only alarm,
entry/exit, fire exit and line zone types can be inhibited.
This is the preferred method of deactivating a faulty or open zone as the fault or open
condition is displayed on the Keypad each time the system is being set to remind the
user to attend to that zone.
To INHIBIT a zone, see Section 4.2.

TEST
Standard
Master
This menu option provides the following test features:
1. Bell test The bell test activates the external bells, strobe, internal bells, and buzzer
in turn for 5 seconds to ensure their correct operation.
2. Walk test
A walk test allows for testing of the operation of all alarm sensors on a system.
When this option is selected, the Keypad displays the number of zones to test on the
system. Activate each alarm sensor (by opening the door or window) and check for
an audible beep at the Keypad. Isolated and inhibited zones are not included in the
walk test.
3. Audible Options
This option allows users to select which devices will activate during the walk test and
which will be silent.
To perform a test, see Section 4.6.

CHIME
Standard
Master
All zones that have the CHIME attribute set generate a short burst of audible tone on
the Keypad buzzer when they are opened (while the system is unset).
This menu option allows for enabling or disabling of the chime feature on all zones.
