Glossary
Alarm Memory
This is the history of the most recent events that occurred the last time the system was armed.
Arm
Arming the system sets the system into the ARMED mode. In this mode, violating a zone will activate an
alarm condition. If the system is programmed correctly, this will cause the appropriate reporting code to be
sent to the monitoring company.
Bypass
Bypassing deactivates a zone. When the panel is ARMED, violation of a bypassed zone will be ignored.
Disarm
Disarming the system sets the system into the DISARMED mode. Fire, medical and panic functions remain
active while the system is disarmed.
Entry/Exit Zones
These are zones that you pass through during the entry/exit delay period without triggering an alarm. Their
purpose is to provide a means by which you can exit after arming the system –and a means of getting to the
keypad to disarm after gaining access to the premises.
Follower Zone
A zone that may be violated during the Exit Zone delay period or after a violation of an Entry/Exit zone. This
allows the user (limited time) access to disarm the system, and sufficient time to exit before arming comes
into effect. A Follower zone will behave as per an Instant zone if violated prior to the violation of an
Entry/Exit zone.
Instant Zone
When the system is armed, violation of an Instant Zone will immediately cause an alarm condition to be
registered.
Partition
A partition is a group of zones that may be armed and disarmed independently without affecting zones or
users assigned to other partitions. The Alarm Panel may have been programmed by your installer to have up
to 8 partitions. Typically, a guest cottage appended to a main house may be partition 2, and the main house
partition 1.
Stay Arm
This is an arming mode that allows certain pre-programmed, Stay zones to be bypassed (temporarily
disabled) while the system is armed. If you arm the system and do not leave the premises within the exit
delay, the system will assume that you are staying home and will stay arm.
Stay Arm and Go
Arming that allows the user to Stay arm and leave the premises.
Stay Zone
A zone that is bypassed automatically when the system is Stay armed.
Violate
A zone is “violated” when a sensor connected to a zone input registers a door opening, a window opening,
somebody moving in the room, or glass breaking –depending on the sensor for that zone.
Zone
A zone is a specific area of your premises monitored by a sensor that detects violations (doors/windows
opening or people moving) in that area.

1. Introduction to the IDS X-Series Alarm Panel
Congratulations on your purchase of an IDS Alarm Panel to protect your most valued possessions.
The IDS X-series is a versatile and expandable range of alarm panels with 8 partitions and can be expanded to
monitor up to 64 zones depending on the model. Most features are optional and may be programmed directly
through the keypad. There is a dedicated panic zone, monitored siren output, auxiliary power outputs and 5
(expandable to 57) programmable outputs that may be programmed to perform various trigger/switching
functions. These can all be programmed by your installer.
For correct operation, these Alarm Panels must be used in conjunction with the specified transformer/battery
combination and appropriate peripheral sensors and signalling devices.
Before Operating Your Alarm System
Read the entire manual carefully and keep it in an accessible place.
Note that this is not a DIY product, and your security system should be installed and serviced by a
qualified security professional who should instruct you regarding the level of protection provided and
the operation of the system.
Should you have any questions regarding the operation of the system, contact your installer.
Note that your system should be tested on a regular basis. Before testing the system, please notify your
security company of your intention to do so.
NEVER disconnect the mains power, as the back-up battery will eventually discharge thereby causing
the control panel to shut down.
Note that a security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and (if
applicable) your central monitoring station, of an emergency situation.
Note that smoke and heat detectors may not detect all fire situations.
This manual is not a fully detailed installation manual –the installation manual is only available to
accredited installers.
Note that the performance of your alarm system will to a large extent be determined by the quality and
installation of the detectors attached to your panel.

Numerical Values
Simple numerical values are represented via the zone LEDs. For instance, if zone LED 15 is on, it is representing
a value of 15. This is commonly used when enabling and disabling bitmapped locations. Each zone LED directly
corresponds to a number of the same value. For numbers or information that exceeds a value of 16, binary-
coded decimal values are used, as explained in the following sections.

10
700-398-01J X-Series User Manual Issued for version 2.8x
Reading Binary Values
Values within a data program location will be displayed by the zone LEDs in binary coded decimal format i.e.
zone LEDs 1-4 indicate units (ones) and zone LEDs 5-8 indicate tens (tens), and so on. To read a binary value on
the keypad, add up the values represented by each lit LED as shown in Table 2.

EXAMPLE:
Imagine the following zone LEDs are on: Zone 1, Zone 3 and Zone 5.
Units are represented by the sum of Zone 1 and Zone 3 (i.e. 1 + 4).
Tens of units are represented by the value of Zone 5 (i.e. 1 x ten).
Therefore, the displayed value is (1+4) + (10) = 15.
Values within a time program location are displayed in a similar format as per Table 3.

covered by motion detectors. If necessary, bypass any required zones and close the front door.
2. Press the [#] key.
3. Enter a valid [USER CODE]. If an incorrect code is entered, the keypad buzzer will beep three times. In
the event of an error, press the [#] key and re-enter the code.
4. The ARM LED will come on and the keypad buzzer will sound for the duration of the exit delay. The LCD
display will read ‘Exit Delay’ alongside the partition number that is being armed. Any bypassed zones will
be displayed on the LCD display as solid text. Any violated zones will be displayed on the LCD display as
flashing text. To scroll through zones which have been bypassed or violated use the [PANIC] and [MED]
keys.
5. Leave only via a designated exit route. The panel will away arm at the end of the exit delay, if any
enter/exit zone is violated, e.g. the front door.
6. Once the panel has armed, the LCD display will read ‘Armed’ alongside the partition that has been
armed.
Quick Away Arm
Hold down the [1] key until the beep
If this function is enabled, it is possible to AWAY arm by holding down the [1] key until the arming process
begins.
NOTE: If the partition is already STAY armed, this key will initialise AWAY arming. It is therefore possible to
change directly from STAY arm to AWAY arm.

12
700-398-01J X-Series User Manual Issued for version 2.8x
Stay Arm
Stay arming allows the user to monitor selected perimeter zones and bypass interior zones. The user can
remain on the premises with access to designated areas during the STAY ARM cycle. Any zone that may be
violated accidentally should be programmed as a BUZZ ZONE. When violated, a BUZZ ZONE will cause the
keypad buzzer to sound for 30 seconds before triggering the alarm and sounding the siren. Entering a valid
USER CODE before the siren sounds will silence the keypad buzzer and prevent the siren from sounding. To
provide greater flexibility, the panel caters for the programming of 4 different STAY PROFILES. Each STAY
PROFILE can contains a unique combination of STAY, BUZZ and ALARM zones that caters for a particular STAY
ARM requirement.
EXAMPLE:
PROFILE 1 might be used when the family goes to bed in the evening. In this profile, some interior zones may
be programmed as alarm zones or buzz zones, whereas PROFILE 2 is used while watching television when all
interior zones would be bypassed. (See How to Select a Stay Profile, under section 19 page 24)
How to Stay
LED Keypad
[#] [USER CODE] (Do not leave premises)

700-398-01J X-Series User Manual Issued for version 2.8x
Quick Stay Arm
Hold down the [5] key until the beep
It is possible to STAY arm by holding down the [5] key until the keypad buzzer sounds. The panel will
immediately arm into the stay mode without any exit delay. All stay zones will be bypassed.
NOTE: Holding the button down again will cause the panel to toggle between stay profiles that have zones
selected to be bypassed when stay armed. This STAY profile then becomes the active profile and the panel will
STAY arm using this profile - until you elect to switch profiles again.
Stay Profile Menu
If the option to show the stay profile menu is enabled when pressing the [5] or [6] key to stay arm will display
the stay profiles available, allowing you to choose the profile before stay arming. (Please check with your
installer)
(See How to Select a Stay Profile, under section 19 page 24)
How to Stay Arm and Go
LED Keypad
Hold down the [6] key until the beep
This is a single key arm function that allows the user to STAY arm and leave the premises. If a partition is
already stay armed, holding down the [6] key initiates an exit delay, thus allowing the user to leave the
premises without disarming. At the end of the exit delay, the partition will re-arm in the same stay profile it
was armed in before the [6] key was held.
1. Hold down the [6] key until the keypad buzzer sounds. The keypad buzzer will sound for the duration of
the exit delay. Only leave via a designated exit route.
2. The READY LED will turn off and the ARM LED will come on.
All stay zones will be bypassed.
NOTE: Holding down the [6] key until the keypad buzzer sounds also ensures an entry delay on entering the
premises.
LCD Keypad
(Hold down the [6] key for two seconds until the keypad buzzer sounds)
This is a single key arm function, which allows the user to STAY arm and leave the premises.
If a partition is already stay armed, holding down the [6] key initiates an exit delay, thus allowing the user to
leave the premises without disarming. At the end of the exit delay, the partition will re-arm in the same stay
profile it was armed in before the [6] key was held down.
1. Make sure all zones are clear. Hold down the [6] key until the keypad buzzer sounds. The LCD display
reads ‘Exit Delay’ alongside the partition number being armed. Any zones that have been bypassed will
be displayed on the LCD display as solid text. Any zones that are violated will be displayed on the LCD
display as flashing text. Use the [PANIC] and [MED] keys to scroll through zones that have been
bypassed or violated. The keypad buzzer will sound for the duration of the exit delay. Only leave via a
designated exit route.
2. At the end of the exit delay, the ARM LED will come on and the display will read ‘Stay Armed’. All stay
zones will be bypassed.
Stay Profile Menu
If the option to show the stay profile menu is enabled when pressing the [5] or [6] key to stay arm will display
the stay profiles available, allowing you to choose the profile before stay arming. (Please check with installer).

1. Ensure that the LCD display reads ‘Ready to Arm’ before leaving.
2. Leave the premises and lock the door.
3. Activate the remote or the key-switch. A remote can be used to Stay Arm or Away Arm.
4. The alarm will arm in the away mode.
NOTE: If a remote control is used it is advisable to either have the siren toot on arm function enabled, or to use
a LED Unit at the entry/exit point (P/N: 862-84-10). This provides verification that the system has armed.

14
700-398-01J X-Series User Manual Issued for version 2.8x
Auto Arm
The panel may be programmed to arm automatically at a pre-programmed time. Should the premises be
occupied at the time of auto-arming, a valid user code entered during the pre-arm delay will terminate the
arming sequence. The pre-arm delay is signalled by an exit beep.
NOTE: This can be enabled via the maintenance code, see page 32.
4. Disarming the Control Panel
How to Disarm with a User Code
[#] [USER CODE]
1. Enter the premises through a designated entry route. Entering via any other route will cause an alarm.
2. As soon as the Entry/Exit zone is violated, the entry delay will begin. The keypad buzzer will sound for
the duration of the entry period.
3. Press the [#] key and enter a valid [USER CODE].
4. Once the system disarms, the ARM LED will turn off and the keypad buzzer will stop sounding.
5. If no valid user code has been entered prior to the expiry of the entry delay period an alarm condition
will be registered.
6. If the entry period is too short, have your installer change the entry delay period.
NOTE: If a strobe (or flashing light) has been installed and an alarm condition is registered, the strobe will
continue flashing after the siren has stopped sounding. Entering a valid user code will cancel the strobe.
How to Disarm Using a Key-switch or Remote
1. Activate the remote or key-switch. (The blue button on the IDS remote, unless otherwise programmed).
2. The system will disarm and the armed LED indicator (if installed) will turn off. If the siren toot on disarm
option is enabled, the siren will provide a double toot when the panel is disarmed.
5. Bypassing Zones
The term BYPASS is used to describe a zone that has been deactivated; i.e. violation of a bypassed zone,
whilst the system is armed, is ignored and will not cause an alarm condition.
Once the system is armed, it is not possible to bypass zones.
All bypassed zones will be automatically cancelled each time the panel is disarmed and must be re-
bypassed before the next arming.
To permanently bypass ones, create a stay profile and the zone. Refer to section 19 Stay Zones page 24.
