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.

(optional)
The operator keypad unit incorporates a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising 2 lines of 16
characters, and a backlit keypad to gain access to the system and to perform all authorised user
functions. The backlighting will be turned on during the entry time, during code entry and while a user
is logged on. It may also be turned on using any button except and and turned off using the or
buttons. Keypads may be fitted with an internal proximity reader. The keypad incorporates a mains
power indicator. This indicator will flash if the system is operating on standby battery power.

Cards/Fobs
A user PIN code can be replaced by a card or fob if the keypad is fitted with the optional internal or
external reader. All Guardall proximity cards and fobs are manufactured with a unique code and
duplicate cards or fobs cannot be obtained. Spare or replacement cards or fobs can be obtained from
the installation company.

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.

The menu options shown are for a manager user on a system without access control. The actual
menu options available to a user will depend on the user authority, the system configuration and the
current system status. Refer to appendix A for details. Only 2 options are visible on the display but
any available option can be selected by entering the 2-digit code without viewing the actual option
number. Each menu option is discussed in detail in this manual. If no option is selected the user will
be automatically logged off after 2 minutes. If a chosen option is not available a reason will be
displayed. Refer to appendix D for details. Information about the system may be displayed when
logging on. Refer to appendix E for details.
1It is recommended that the manager code is changed from the default as soon as possible.

Easy Set
If your system is programmed with the easy set option then all PIN codes are 4 digits long and PIN
codes can be entered without confirming with the button. A card or fob may still be used in place of
a PIN when easy set is programmed.
Help
When the main user menu is on display press the help button (?) to display information about the
system. There are 3 options.
Option Description
Assist Select to connect to a remote service operator. Your alarm company may not
support this feature.
Contract The customer contract number is a 6-digit number programmed by the
installation engineer that uniquely identifies your system.
Product Info The product info option displays the control panel order code and firmware
version number and, if fitted the Dialler version number.
An authorised user can change some of the system parameters. When changing an item the help
button can be used to display the allowed values.
Remote Assist
Before using the remote assist option you must obtain a number from your alarm company. When you
need to use the remote service, you will be prompted to enter this number, and the panel will dial the
alarm company. The alarm company will then be able to check the condition of your system and
identify and resolve problems.

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.

Setting with a Mini Keypad
The mini keypad has two quick set buttons. The actual areas or groups controlled
by the green and yellow buttons will depend on how the system has been
programmed by the installer. The green button will set/unset the first programmed area or set
group and the yellow button will set/unset the second programmed area or set group. Pressing
and holding both and will set the first and second group or area.
