3. Setting, Unsetting, and Restoring the System
The following functions are available to users by entering a user code; these
functions do not require menu navigation on the Keypad. User codes
comprise 4, 5, or 6 digits, depending upon the programming grade of the
system.
A user’s permission rights, i.e. ability to see menus and options available on
the SigNET 200/300 system, are programmed by the installation engineer. If
users cannot see options described in this manual, they do not have rights to
access such functionality.
When a code is entered, the digits display as asterixes and the left function
key displays the QUIT option. This is for security reasons, so codes are not
visible when entered.
After entering a code, the following options are presented: FULLSET,
PARTSET A, PARTSET B, MENUS. Scroll these options by using the
up/down arrow keys. An ellipsis (…) on accompanying graphics denotes
when there is a choice of menu selection by scrolling.
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 displays the exit time 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.

3.4 Failing to Set the System
The system fails to set if there is an open or fault condition detected on an alarm zone when the FULLSET or
PARTSET A/B option is selected. The Keypad 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 five 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 displays on the
Keypad for approximately five seconds.
4. The source of the alarm condition displays 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)
Alert conditions on the SigNET are indicated on the Keypad by a flashing yellow Alert LED and by activation
of the buzzer. The Keypad indicates the location and nature of the alert condition. The ability of a user to
restore alerts depends on the security grade setting of the system (in accordance with standards [1]). An alert
condition can only be restored once the fault or zone that caused the alert has been physically reset to its
normal operating state; e.g. an open zone has been closed again or a severed E-BUS connection re-
established.
Users may be restricted from using the Restore feature if an Engineer
chooses not to select ‘Restore’ within the User Rights menu for select
users. Users who cannot restore an alert receive fault messages on the
Keypad until the zone or fault condition is either inhibited or isolated.
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 (displays 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 causing the alert displays on the top line.

3. Press the right menu key to restore the alert. The message ALL ALERTS RESTORED displays and
the flashing Alert LED turns 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, contact the installation engineer. The alarm system still
operates by either inhibiting or isolating the fault condition.
3.8 Coded Restore
The coded restore option is only available if the Security Grade of the system is set to Grade 3 or Engineer
Configure. It provides the user with the ability to restore alert conditions that would normally only be
available to the installation engineer. To provide the user with this ability, it is necessary to protect this
feature with a code.
To perform a coded restore on the system:
1. Ensure that the zone or fault that caused the alert condition has been physically restored to
its normal operating state.
2. Contact the installer or the alarm receiving centre (ARC) before entering user programming
and selecting the coded restore feature in the menus option. (Contact details should be
available from the drop down label beneath the Keypad.)
3. Press SELECT on the Coded Restore option. A 6-digit reset code displays on the top line.
4. Provide 6-digit code to installer/ARC.
5. Receive newly generated code from installer/ARC.
6. Enter new code at the AUTH CODE prompt.
7. Press SELECT.
The message SYSTEM RESTORED displays on the top line of the display.
3.9 Using 868MHz Wireless Fob
If an 868MHz wireless receiver module (Fob) is installed and configured on the Keypad or Controller and the
user profile is configured for device and respective settings, the SigNET system enables functionality using a
868 MHz wireless fob. An authorised installation engineer configures the device and its settings, and users
are instructed for activation of the device for the following commands:
•Set/Unset
•Partset
•Clear Alerts/Restore
•X10 Functionality
3.10 Using a Portable ACE
If a PACE reader is installed and configured on the SigNET Keypad, it is functional only with users of PACE-
configured profiles.
If a Limited User’s profile is configured for such device and functionality, once presented within 1cm of the
Keypad’s receiver area, the PACE enables setting and unsetting denoted by the usual set/unset beeps.
Note
An Alert condition only displays on the Keypad when the system is UNSET. If the system is SET
when an alert condition occurs, the Keypad gives no indication of that alert condition until such
time as the system is UNSET.
Note
The coded restore feature can only be operated from the Keypad. It is not accessible from the
browser.
Note
Force setting with the RF fob: It is NOT possible to forceset the system with an RF fob even if the
user assigned to the fob has the ability to forceset. Force setting is only possible at the Keypad.

SigNET 200/300 User Guide
ELAB 1543 9
If Manager and/or Standard Users’ profiles are configured for such device and functionality, access to keypad
is allowed using the PACE. Presentation of the device within 1cm of the Keypad’s receiver area logs in the
user and prompts menu options.
For additional security measures, engineers have the option to set the PACE configurations to PIN and PACE.
This prompts and requires user code following presentation of the PACE.
3.11 Using X10 Features
X10 is a technology that allows peripheral devices, such as lights, heaters, or appliances, to be controlled by the
system and system events can be used to trigger outputs on the X10 devices. For example, a hall light could be
configured to turn on when the front door of the house is opened. Alternatively, the function can be controlled directly
at the Keypad.
X10 settings are programmed by the installation engineer and users are informed of the settings and the
corresponding keys on the Keypad or the appropriate buttons of a configured 868MHz Wireless Fob.
On the keypad, turn an X10 feature on by pressing the hash (#) key and the feature number. The corresponding
device turns on. To turn an X10 feature off, repeat the same keystrokes. The corresponding device turns off. The
installation engineer can fill in the following table for quick reference.

4.9.3 SMS Commands
Once the SMS setup and configuration is complete, SMS features may be activated. Commands, depending
on SMS configuration are sent using a code or caller ID. The type of code depends on the system SMS
Authentication. An installation Engineer provides the appropriate setting and instructions for use.
The table below provides all available SMS commands. Subsequent action and response are also provided.
SMS Commands are sent as texts to the phone number of the SIM card on the controller. (Available with
GSM modems only.)
For commands using code, the format of the text is the code followed by either a space or a full stop. Where
**** is the code and “command” is the command: ****.command or **** command.
For example, the command “HELP” is this text: **** HELP or ****.HELP

Appendix A: Standard User Settings
The operational features of the SigNET 200/300 system are described below. The installation engineer informs
users of their user rights assigned to each user profile. Depending on how the system has been programmed, users
may have rights to all or some of these features.
Operation User Profile
Default Description
FULLSET Limited
Standard
Manager
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
Manager
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
Manager
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 Section3.3.
FORCE SET
Standard
Manager
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.
UNSET Limited
Standard
Manager
The UNSET operation unsets the alarm. This menu option is only
presented on the Keypad after an alarm has been activated and a valid
user code has been entered.
To UNSET the system, see Section 3.6.
RESTORE
Standard
Manager
The RESTORE operation restores an alert condition on the system and
clears the alert message associated with that alert condition.
An alert condition can only be restored after the zone(s) or fault(s) that
triggered the alert condition have been restored to their normal operating
state and the RESTORE option in user programming is selected for that
zone.
To RESTORE an alert, see Section 3.7.

Appendix B: User Configuration and Test Options
Operation User Profile
Default Description
ISOLATE
Manager Isolating a zone deactivates that zone until such time as the zone is de-isolated
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 4.2.
INHIBIT
Standard
Manager
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 4.1.
CHANGE
CODE
Standard
Manager
This menu option allows users to change their user codes.
To change a user code, see Section 4.8.
GRANT
ACCESS
Manager This option allows users to grant access to manufacturer and engineer programming.
To grant access, see Section 4.10.
SET DATE
/ TIME
Standard
Manager
Use this menu option to program the time and date on the system.
Ensure the time and date information is accurate; these fields are presented in the
event log when reporting system events.
To set date or time, see Section 4.3.
TEST
Standard
Manager
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 4.4.
EVENT
LOG
Standard
Manager
This menu option displays the most recent event on the Keypad display. The event
log details the time and date of each logged event.
To view log, see Section 4.5.
CHIME
Standard
Manager
All zones that have the CHIME attribute 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.
To enable or disable the chime feature, see Section 4.6.
SETUP
SMS
Manager This feature allows users to set up the SMS messaging service if a modem is
installed on the system.
To perform SMS, see Section 0.
