Introduction
The PX Electronic Intruder Alarm System is designed to provide secure protection for the installation.
The system comprises a main control panel, normally located out of sight in a secure area, and at
least one keypad. The panel has a wide range of features, which are programmed by the engineer on
installation, to suit the security requirements of the particular installation. Some of the features may be
reprogrammed, edited, or viewed as required by an authorised user.

Event Log
The event log will record all events, for example, user log-on times and user numbers, keypad
numbers, setting and unsetting times, alterations made to programmed settings, fault conditions, etc.
When the event log is full, the oldest event will be automatically removed when the next event occurs.
All log events are date and time stamped and may be viewed, or printed if a printer is fitted to the
system.
Areas & Set Groups
For protection purposes, the premises may be divided into a number of areas. Individual areas may
be grouped together into a setting group (Not RX16i) which provides the user with a convenient way
of setting and unsetting more than one area at the same time. The installation company engineer will
have configured your system for the appropriate number of areas and groups to comply with your
specific security requirements. Where more than one group is incorporated in the system, a group
can be configured by the installation engineer as a common group. A common group will
automatically set if all other areas of the system are set and will automatically unset if any one of the
other areas is unset. The RX16i variant does not include the set group feature. If using a RX16i then
all references to set groups throughout this manual should be interpreted as areas.
Circuits
Each detector or sensor in the installation is allocated a unique circuit number. The installation
engineer will have programmed each circuit to respond in a certain way when the circuit is activated,
when the area is set and unset. The way in which the circuit is programmed to respond will depend on
the type of circuit and its location and purpose. If a circuit is faulty, the alarm response may be turned
off by an authorised user. This process is referred to as bypassing.
User, Set group and Circuit Identification
Each user, set group, circuit, concentrator and access control module can be programmed with a text
description.

User Codes
Each user of the system is identified by a unique code. This code can be a PIN code, a magnetic
swipe card, proximity card or fob. A card or fob can only be used on a keypad variant with a proximity
interface (internal or external). The default PIN code for user 2 is 0202. Throughout this manual user
codes are only referred to as codes.

Dual User Code Operation
Where a higher level of security is required a keypad may have been programmed to require two user
codes to be entered before logging a user on to the system. Both user codes must be authorised and
are logged by the system. The authority of the second user code entered is used by the system. The
second user code must be entered within 15 seconds of the first user code.
User Card+PIN Operation
Each user can be programmed with both a PIN and a card. If the user Card+PIN option is
programmed then both codes have to be entered before the user can log on to a keypad.
Using the System
The LCD keypad will normally display the time, date and company name. If a valid code is entered the
user menu will normally be displayed. The default manager code is 02021. Enter this code followed by
the button to log on.

Incorrect Codes
If Easy Set is not programmed and an incorrect user code is entered, the incorrect code message will
be displayed for a few seconds or until another key is pressed. The installation engineer will have
programmed a limit on the number of incorrect code attempts that can be made. If more than the
programmed number of code attempts are made to enter a valid user code, the keypad will be locked
out and the display will show Out of Service for a period of 5 minutes. Any attempt to enter a user
code during the locked out period will extend the period by another 5 minutes.

Set Code-02
The system can be partitioned into a number of parts called set groups, each of which can be
individually set. The programmed user authority level must allow setting and the programmed user
area access will determine which set groups are available to a user.
Setting can be started by:
1. A user request on a keypad
2. A user activating a keyswitch or radio Keyfob
3. Automatically by a timer schedule
4. Remotely from a PC using the Guardall GuardStation software
5. A user request on an ACM Proximity Reader.
Setting modes include:
1. Instant, where setting is completed immediately
2. Timed, where setting is completed at the end of the programmed exit time
3. Exit point, where setting is completed by opening and closing the final exit circuit
4. Push button, where setting is completed by pushing the external PB circuits after opening and
closing the final exit circuit
Your installation engineer should advise which of the above options have been programmed on your
system.

Keyswitch/Radio Keyfob Setting
As an alternative to setting and unsetting from a keypad, your system may be fitted with an optional
keyswitch, which permits setting and unsetting of a group by operating a keyswitch. The keyswitch
may be configured for any set mode. If your system is fitted with a radio interface then a radio Keyfob
may be programmed for setting.
Automatic Setting
The system may have been programmed by the installation engineer to automatically set all or parts
of the system according to a pre-programmed schedule. The schedule will have been programmed to
take into account the normal closing time, non-working days and holidays. The schedule may be
configured for any set mode.
Aborting The Setting Procedure
The setting procedure can be aborted at any time during the exit time by pressing on the keypad
that was used to start setting, logging on to any other keypad, turning a keyswitch to the unset
position or an appropriate radio Keyfob.
Setting with Warnings
The system will automatically display any conditions that the user should be aware of before setting
the system. These conditions are described as set warnings and do not prohibit the user from setting
the system in the normal way.

4. Line Fault (only when setting with telephone line fault is allowed)
5. Shunted circuit(s)
6. Battery test faults, when setting is allowed with this type of fault.
7. 230v mains faults, when setting is allowed with this type of fault.
Easy Set
If easy set mode 1 is programmed then the system will start to part set when you log on. During the
part set exit time, if the exit door circuit is opened and closed, the system will full set. Pressing the
key during the setting time will cancel setting. If easy set mode 2 is programmed then the system
can be set without logging on to a keypad. Up to 8 parts can be set in this way (depends on the
control panel type). For example to set part 1 of your system from 1 + .The system can be set by
entering 0 + .
If using a mini keypad then the house symbol buttons can be used to set.

Setting Restrictions
1. The selected group is programmed with a set level and a lower level set group(s) has not been
set.
2. If a user attempts to set a high level set group when a lower level is not set then a warning
message will be displayed.
In a PX250HS, there are several additional conditions that apply when setting.
1. The keypad may be programmed to disable setting
2. The selected group may be programmed for dual user set
Setting Faults
If the group cannot set a message will be displayed. This can occur at the start of setting or at the end
of the exit time depending on how your system is set up and when the fault occurs. If a fault occurs
during the exit time the exit tone will change to a warning tone. The external sounder may also have
been programmed by the installation engineer to activate in the event of a failure to set.

Unset Code-01
The system will have been partitioned by the installation engineer into a number of set groups. The
user authority will determine the choice of groups, which can be unset. There are several methods of
unsetting available to the user, which are discussed in the following section.
Unsetting can be started by:
1. A user request on a keypad
2. A user activating a keyswitch or radio Keyfob
3. Automatically by a timer schedule
4. Remotely from a PC using the Guardall GuardStation software
5. A user request on an ACM Proximity Reader.
Your installation engineer should advise which of the above options have been programmed on your
system.
Unsetting Methods
If a set group incorporates an entry route in the unsetting procedure then opening a final entry door to
the area will start a pre-programmed entry timer. The user must proceed directly to the keypad or
keyswitch via a pre-determined entry route and unset the group as described. If the group is not unset
before the entry time has expired a warning period of 30 seconds will be given. This is to warn the
user that an alarm condition will occur if the group is not unset by the end of the warning period. If the
group is not unset by the time that the total entry time and warning time has expired, an alarm
condition will be initiated. To comply with the requirements of DD243 (2002), during the entry time, all
alarms in the unsetting area(s) are ignored.
Unsetting from a keypad
Your installer may have set up your system to allow automatic unset when your user code is entered.
The diagram shows all 3 possible unset scenarios when a user logs on to a keypad when area(s) are
set.

Automatic Unsetting
The system may have been programmed by the installation engineer to automatically unset all or
parts of the system according to a pre-programmed schedule. The schedule will have been
programmed to take into account the normal opening time, non-working days and holidays.
Unsetting Warnings
When unsetting from a keypad, the user is informed on the display of any warnings, e.g. circuits
isolated or on soak. The warning display will appear for approximately 4 seconds during the unsetting
procedure. If more than one warning exists, the display will automatically scroll through the list of
warnings.

4. Line Fault (only when setting with telephone line fault is allowed)
5. Shunted circuit(s)
6. Circuit has reached the programmed multiple alarm limit
7. Battery test faults
8. 230v mains faults
Unsetting Restrictions
The selected group is programmed with a set level and a higher level set group(s) has not been
unset. If a user attempts to unset a high level set group when a lower level is set then a warning
message will be displayed.
In a PX250HS, there are several additional conditions that apply when unsetting.
1. The keypad must be programmed by the engineer to allow unset
2. The selected group may be programmed for dual user unset
3. An open/close schedule may be programmed for the selected group and the time is after the
programmed close time. This condition may be ignored following an alarm in one of the set group
areas if the set group is programmed with an alarm unset time. In this case, after unsetting, the
set group will automatically set after the programmed Alarm Unset period.
4. The selected group may be programmed with an Unset Delay time and set group will only unset
at the end of the programmed unset delay period. A message will be displayed during this time
and the user unset request will be logged.
5. If a group is manually set before the scheduled set time then it may be unset up to the number of
programmed Early Set minutes after the time the group was set.

only once to reset the system. Logon to the keypad with this PIN code to clear the engineer reset
condition.

The panel records all activations from sensors during the unset period. When walk test is selected the
panel will display all circuits which have not alarmed since the panel was last unset. If all circuits are to
be tested then select walk test, then press the button and select walk test a second time. When the
panel exits walk test mode, either manually or automatically at the end of the test time then:
1. Any fire sensor still in alarm will give a normal alarm response.
2. Circuits with a 24-hour response, which are still in alarm, will be temporarily bypassed.
3. A warning will be displayed if any PA sensor is still in alarm.
If the comms test is selected then the panel will make a test call to all telephone numbers that have
been programmed for test by the installation engineer.

When an engineer logs on to a keypad, all other
keypads in the system will be inoperable and the
display will show Out of Service.

Once logged on the engineer working time is limited to 8 hours.
PIN Code-06
All users on the system are identified by a 4, 5 or 6-digit PIN code. To change user PIN code, log on
to the keypad using your current PIN code and choose the PIN option. Then follow the display
prompts. All user PIN code changes are recorded in the system event log. If the PIN code option is
not available this means that the system has been programmed to prevent you from changing your
user PIN code, and a new PIN code must be allocated by the security system manager. In the
example shown the user changes code to 1234.

If another user on the system already uses the chosen PIN code then that user will be alerted when
next logging on to the system. The user whose PIN is known must change PIN code to avoid seeing
the warning message on every log on.
