Introduction
The FLEX is a programmable alarm control panel that enables you to protect your
home or business by providing secure and reliable intruder detection. The system
can be fully tailored by your installer to operate in the most convenient way for
your lifestyle or working practice. If there are any changes in your requirements,
your installer can make any necessary changes to the system configuration in order
to continue to provide the best protection, while maintaining ease of use.
An alarm system protects you and your property only when it is used correctly.
Please take the time to read through these instructions carefully in order to get the
best from your alarm system, and avoid false alarms.
Remember: An alarm system only protects against intruders if it is Set
appropriately. Always remember to Full Set or Part Set the system when
applicable.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside the alarm system
component housings. Refer all servicing to qualified alarm service engineers.

Controlling your alarm system
Users
Each person who uses the system is described as a User and has a unique identity
in the form of a PIN code, prox tag or wireless keyfob, or a combination of all
three. You can assign different access levels to users so that they can control
specific alarm system functions. User setup is described in the Menu access section
of the guide.
Panel control
You can control the alarm system panel in one of these ways:
Enter a PIN code at a keypad and press the function buttons.
Present a Proximity (prox) tag to a prox reader/MAX reader.
Press a button on a special encrypted wireless keyfob.
Although any of the above methods enables you to set and unset the system for day
to day operation, you will need to use a keypad to reset the system after an alarm or
fault condition. You can also use the keypad to:
View the event log
Program user codes
Omit zones temporarily from the system
Groups
On larger systems it is often necessary or desirable to split the system into separate
areas or groups that can be set and unset independently by different users. Group
operation can only be set up by an installer. The system can be split into eight
separately controllable groups. If your system has been set up for group operation,
look for the notes on groups throughout this manual.

Keypad
Your system will have at least one Mk8 keypad.

Mk8 LCD keypad
The number buttons are for entering PIN codes and for changing options. The
function keys down the side have the following use:
A► To scroll forward in a list or menu and activate a FULL set.
B◄ To scroll backwards in a list or menu and activate a PART set.
ent To save a current setting or activate the displayed command.
esc To abort an operation or return to the previous menu option.
The default user PIN code is 1234. We strongly recommend that you change this
code as soon as possible. Choose a PIN code that you can remember easily,
avoiding number sequences that may be easy for an intruder to guess.

8
Prox tags and cards
Prox tags and cards are devices that
contain a microchip that has a unique
serial number. This number is read and
identified by the system when you hold
the tag or card in front of a prox reader.
Prox tags and cards enable you to set
and unset the system only. Prox readers
are usually built into the case of a
keypad and are identified by the prox
symbol as shown in the diagram.
Note: Prox tags and cards can also be
used with MAX
4
readers.

Wireless keyfobs
Keyfobs are portable controllers that can be attached to a key ring. They can be
used to set and unset the system with a single button press, and can be programmed
to perform additional functions in some cases. They can be used anywhere around
your premises provided they are within range of the system radio receiver.
Note: Labels are provided to place over the buttons that have been programmed
with particular functions.

Set with faults
Although not normally permitted, you can set with a fault if your system is
programmed for this and you have the correct user access level.
If there are faults present when you try to set via the keypad, the fault override
message is displayed:
To set with one or more faults:
1. Scroll through the faults. If you are able to override a fault the Continue Set
option is displayed as shown in the example below.
2. Press ent to override the fault for one set period only and allow the system to
set. If there is more than one fault, repeat this process for each fault.
Unset the system
To unset the system:
1. Enter the protected area by the agreed route. A timed entry period begins and a
pulsed tone sounds.
2. Do one of the following:
Keypad: Enter your user code, then press ent

Cancel an alarm
The process for cancelling an alarm is similar to unsetting the system. However, if
a wireless keyfob or prox tag has been used, you can only view alarms on a keypad
by typing in your user code and following the onscreen instructions. Only certain
users are able to reset the system following an alarm condition. Your installer will
tell you which users have this ability.
Restore an alarm
To restore alarms, faults and tampers your user level must be 3 or greater. If you
are unable to perform a restore you may still be able to override unrestored
conditions when you attempt to set the panel.
To restore alarms, faults and tampers:
1. Clear the cause of the fault.
2. Enter an authorised user PIN code or an anti-code.
3. On a keypad, view and restore the alarm conditions. If your user level prevents
you from doing this ask a user with a higher level to do it.
Alert conditions
If a fault condition occurs when the system is unset the panel emits an intermittent
beep.
To deal with an alert condition:
1. At the nearest keypad, enter your PIN code, and then press ent . The keypad
displays the cause of the alert.
2. Use A and B to scroll through the message screens.
3. If the condition has cleared, press ent or esc to reset the fault condition. A
fault condition cannot be reset if it has not cleared or if it has not been viewed
by a user.
4. If you cannot clear the fault condition, call your installer for advice.

14
Set and unset groups
It is possible to split the alarm system into separate areas or groups that can be set
and unset independently. Users can be assigned:
access to any combination of groups,
the option to set and unset all their groups together, or the option to choose
individual groups to set and unset.
Set and unset without group choice
To set and unset without group choice follow the standard procedures on the
previous pages.
Set and unset with group choice
Setting is initiated as normal using a code, tag or fob. However, a choice of groups
is then displayed along with the current status of each group.
To set and unset with group choice:
1. Initiate setting or unsetting as described earlier in the guide.
2. Select an option for each group. Press the appropriate group number to cycle
through the possible options. An example is shown below:
The options are:
U = Unset
R = Ready
F = Fault (group unset and at least 1 zone is open)
S = (flashing) group selected for setting
S = (steady) group already set
3. Press ent to implement the status shown.
If a code, keyfob or tag/card is used while an entry timer is running or an alarm is
in progress, the group that is active is unset immediately, without requiring a status
change on the keypad.

To enter menu mode:
Enter your PIN code, and then press ent . The first menu category is displayed.
You can then:
Navigate around the menu using the scroll keys ( A and B ), the ent key and the
esc key.
Jump to any specific menu item directly by typing the number of the item
followed by ent .
An overview of all the accessible functions is shown below. You may not be able
to access all of the functions controlled by your user type, which is set up in

Omit Zones (11 ent)
Use this option to disable a detection zone temporarily. For example, you could
disable a movement detector when leaving a dog in the house. Zone omits last for
one set period only and automatically reset when the system is unset.
To omit a particular zone:
1. Select Omit Zones. The first omittable zone is displayed.
2. Scroll to the zone to be omitted.
3. Press # . The message in the bottom left corner changes to Omitted.
4. If required, repeat steps 2 and 3 to omit more zones.
5. When all zones have been selected as required, do one of the following:
Press ent to set with the omitted zones.
Press esc to save the omitted zones for setting later.
Timed Set (12 ent)
Use this option to start the timed full set routine. It is identical to entering a PIN
code and pressing A .
Part Set (13 ent)
Use this option to start the timed part set routine as described earlier.
Forced Set (14 ent)
Option not available
Chime (15 ent)
Use this option to put one or more zones into Chime mode. When Chime mode is
enabled for a zone, the internal sounders beep twice each time the detector on that
zone is activated. This function can be used in a shop, for example, to indicate
when a customer has entered.
Instant Set (16 ent)
Use this option to set all zones immediately. There is no sounder or exit time.

17
Silent Part (17 ent)
Use this option to set all zones that have the part attribute enabled. There is a
normal timed exit procedure without sounders. In the event of an alarm occurring
during a Silent Part set, for example a fire alarm, the system reverts to normal
operation.
When group mode is enabled, setting of a group using Silent Part set does not
affect the operation of any other group setting options.
Unsetting from Silent Part results in a double beep.
Home Set (18 ent)
Use this option to either fully set or part set the system. The system is:
Fully set if the exit time is manually terminated via a Final or Push-Set zone
operation.
Part set if the exit time is allowed to expire.
All Set (19 ent)
Use this option to start a timed set of all groups assigned to the user code. No
group choice is offered. The keypad group restriction determines the groups that
are set when this option is selected:
If there is no keypad group restriction then all of the groups assigned to the
user are set – as long as there is at least one common group assigned to the
keypad.
If there is a group restriction on the setting keypad, then only the groups that
are common to both the user and the keypad on which the menu option is
selected are set.
Display Zones (21 ent)
Use this option to show the status of each individual detection zone on the system.
On entering the option, the first system zone is displayed as shown below:
On the top row, the zone address is shown along with the current status (open,
closed, etc) and toggles with the zone function.

required for fault finding when talking to the alarm installation company by phone.
Display Log (22 ent)
This option displays the system event log. The log records all events that occur in
the system and is used to track the chain of events during a break-in, or when
trying to trace a fault.
On entering the option, the most recent event is displayed on screen as shown
below:
Use A and B to scroll through the events.
Hold the scroll keys to scroll through the events one day at a time with the date
only displayed while scrolling.

Walk Test (31 ent)
Use this option to view tested and untested zones and to activate a walk test. We
recommend you perform a walk test every month.
To test all zones:
Press 2 ent 2 ent 1 ent .
To test selected zones:
1. Press 2 ent 2 ent 2 ent . The first zone is displayed with the zone number and
description on the top row. The test status is displayed on the bottom row.
2. Press # to select the displayed zone for test. The message in the lower corner
displays as appropriate.
3. Navigate to, and select other zones to test.
4. When all required zones have been selected for test, press ent to start the test,
or esc to abort.
Once a test has started, any activation of a detector on test causes the internal
sounders to beep twice. The zone number and description are displayed on the
keypad. When more than one zone is activated at the same time, use the scroll keys
to view all the active zones.
Note: Ensure that wireless detectors on test are left undisturbed for three minutes
before activating the walk test. This is because wireless movement detectors
enter a sleep mode after being activated in order to save battery life during
repeated activations.
To end the walk test:
Press the esc key.
All walk tested zones are recorded in the event log.
