Intruder alarm system
Operating instructions
Introduction
The purpose of this user guide is to describe how to operate Karizma plus system. Some of the features
described in this guide may not be applicable to your installation and should be ignored. The engineer from
the alarm company will have completed the System Information Sheet (SIS) in this guide, which gives
information specific to your installation. You will need to refer to this as you read this guide in order to check
if certain features have been used. If in any doubt consult your alarm company.

Keypad and Entry codes
Keypads
You operate your intruder alarm system by means of a keypad. Each keypad has numeric keys (0 to 9),
ENTER and ERROR. Over each key is a label, which describes the secondary function of each key. The key
will perform their secondary function when the red FUNCTION indicator is lit.
Entry Codes
Before you can do anything with Karizma+ you will need to key in a code using one of the keypads.
There are several types of entry code, which permit different levels of control over the system. Check the
System Information sheet to see which codes have been enabled. The different types of codes are:
Normal - this code allows the system to be set, unset, and reset after an alarm.
Manager - this code has the same functions as a user code, but in addition the manager code can
add or delete all other codes, test the system, view the event log, set the time and date, omit 24Hr
points, and set the chime function.
Cleaner - special code that unsets only part of the system providing restricted access only to
certain areas of the premises.
Duress - a special code which although appearing to work exactly like a standard user code will
also cause the signaling device to signal a Personal Attack alarm to the central station. Do not use
this code unless you are under threat to set or unset the system.
Always press the Enter key after keying in your code or when making a selection.

Setting the system
Fully Setting the system
When the premises are to completely vacated you should set the full system. First, check that the premises
are physically secure - are all windows shut, and all external doors locked?
Key in a normal user code at the keypad nearest the final exit door and press the ENTER key.
1. Set System?
The exit period will start and the inside sounder will produce the exit sound - a pip-pip-pip sound. The
display identifies the program that you are setting.
Program A Set
PROGRAM A
The bottom line on the display may have been edited during installation to read a different message, for
example it may read FULL SYSTEM.
You must now vacate the premises by the exit route described in the SIS. The length of time that you have
to vacate the premises depends on the exit mode that has been programmed. Check your SIS to find out the
exit mode of programme A.
Part-Set the System
A part-set allows detection points in part of the protected premises to be set (turned on), while those in other
areas are not set. In a domestic installation it is usual for a part-set to be programmed for use at night time.
This would allow the detection points around the perimeter of the house (doors, windows, etc), and all
downstairs detectors to be enabled, while detectors in the bedrooms and on the stairs are disabled.
Karizma+ has 2 different part-set programs called B and C. Check your SIS to see if these programs have
been enabled. If they have not been enabled then you will not be able to use them. If a part-set has been
enabled you can part-set your system by doing the following: Enter your code at a keypad and press the
ENTER key. The system will begin to perform a full-set (setting programme A).
Program A Set
PROGRAM A
Within 5 seconds of entering your code (while the red FUNCTION indicator is still on) you must
press either the SET B or SET C key to select one of the part-set programmes and press the
ENTER key. The display will acknowledge this by displaying name of the program being set.
Program B Set
PROGRAM B
The bottom line on the display may have been edited during installation to read a different message, for
example it may read NIGHT TIME. Leave the protected area by the exit route appropriate for that part-set.

Performing a Quick-Set
It is possible to override the programmed exit time by use of the Quick Set function. This always gives you 3
seconds to vacate the protected area. Quick Set is selected during the first 5 seconds of the exit period
(while the red FUNCTION indicator is on) by pressing the QSET key on the keypad. To use this function with
one of the part-set programmes you must first select the part-set (SET B or SET C), and then press QSET.
Program QSet
PROGRAM A
Omitting points during setting
It is possible to omit one or more detection points when you set the system. The omitted points will not be
able to cause an alarm when the system has set. This facility may be useful if one of your detection points
has become faulty and keeps producing false alarms.
Because omitting a detection point degrades the security provided by your alarm system, your engineer may
have programmed only a limited number of points to be omittable. Check your SIS to see which points, if
any, can be omitted.
Points can be omitted by pressing the OMIT key during the first 5 seconds of the exit period (while the red
FUNCTION indicator is on).
01:FRONT DOOR 
Omit Point: NO
The exit sound will stop, and the keypad will display the first point from a list of points that can be omitted.
Use the and keys (over the 8 and 9 keys) to step through the list of points until the point you want
to omit is displayed. Now press the ENTER key. The symbol will move onto the second line of the display.
Press the key to change the NO to YES, and press the ENTER key.
01:KITCHEN PIR
Omit Point:YES 
The point will be omitted and the exit period will start again.
You can omit as many points as you want using this procedure. To omit points from a part-set program you
must first select the part-set by pressing SET-B or SET-C.

Unsetting the system
Canceling the Exit procedure
If you key in your code, and then immediately decide not to set the system, you can cancel the exit
procedure by one of the following ways:
During the first 5 seconds of the exit period and with the red FUNCTION indicator still on, just press the
ERROR key twice to cancel the exit procedure.
*** Goodbye ***
MANAGER
The inside sounder will stop; the keypad will display the ‘Goodbye’ message for a few seconds and then
display the time and date. The green DAY indicator will remain on.
After the first 5 seconds of exit period you must key in your code to cancel the exit procedure.
Enter your code?
The inside sounder will stop, the keypad will display the ‘System Unset by’ message for a few seconds and
display the time and date. The green DAY indicator will remain on.
System Unset by MANAGER
Unsetting the System
Entering the premises by the designated entry route will cause the entry period to start. The inside sounder
will emit a slow beep-beep-beep sound. You must now key in your code and press the ENTER key at the
nearest available keypad to cancel the entry period. The length of time that you have is called the entry time;
check your SIS to see how long this is. During the last 10 seconds of the entry period the entry tone will
raise in pitch to inform you of the urgency to enter your code.
If you enter your code within the entry period the inside sounder will stop, the keypad will display the
‘System Unset’ message for few seconds and then display the time and date.
System Unset by MANAGER
The green DAY indicator will light. The system is now unset.

Silence Alarm and Reset system
Silencing an Alarm
If an alarm occurs whilst you are in or near to the premises the alarm can always be silenced by entering
your code. If the system was set it will be unset at the same time. If the alarm occurs while you are away
from the premises the outside and inside sounders will automatically stop after the bell time programmed by
the engineer, see your SIS for the bell time.
When you enter your code after an alarm, the keypad will display the cause of the alarm on the top line.
INTRUDER
BACK DOOR
The second line shows additional information, such as the point which caused the alarm. The system will
now need to be reset as described in the next section.
Resetting after an Alarm
After an alarm the system will need to be reset by entering a suitable reset code. The display will alternate
between the alarm cause and a prompt to enter a reset code.
Enter Your
Code
If the this prompt is displayed you can reset the system using your own code. Key in your code and press
the ENTER key.
After the system has been reset it may enter a fault lockout described in the next section.
Engineer Reset
Required
If this prompt is displayed you may need to call out the engineer to reset the system.

Fault Lockout
System Unset by
STEVE
After resetting the system the keypad display will either display the ‘System Reset’ message, or it will show
a count of the faults which still exist. This is called fault lockout.
Faults: 1
ENTER to View
These faults must be cleared before the system can return to Day mode. To see a list of the faults press the
ENTER key. The keypad will display each fault for 5 seconds. When all of the faults have been displayed it
will again display a count of the faults. It will often be necessary to call out the engineer in order to clear
these faults.
If you can, clear the faults until the display shows no faults, then press the ENTER key to return to Day
mode.
Faults: 0
ENTER to Exit
Remote Reset
If the system needs to be reset by an engineer code you may need to call out the engineer. Before you do
his, check the SIS to see if either the Remote Reset or Anti-code Reset options have been enabled. If
either have been enabled it may be possible to reset the system by following one of the procedures
described here:
Remote Reset
Your engineer will have given you instructions on how to request a remote reset. Usually you will have to
telephone the central station, give details of the alarm, and quote a password. The central station can then
reset your system via the signaling device, which is fitted to your system.
System Reset by
STU
When the remote reset is received by your system, the keypad will display the ‘System Reset’ message for a
few seconds. It will then either revert to the time and date display, or display the number of faults, which still
exist - this is a fault lockout.
Reset by Anti-code
Quote Code
1400
If Anti-code reset has been enabled the keypad will display the 4-digit Quote code. Make a note of this
umber (it is different each time you use this facility) and telephone your central station. You may need to
give details of the alarm and quote a password. You will also need to quote the 4-digit number. The central
station will give you a 6 digit number called an anti-code. Key in the anti-code to reset the system.
The keypad will either display the time and date, or it will display the number of faults which still exist –this
is a fault lockout.

Cleaner Access
Karizma+ has a code which permits selected areas of the protected premises to be unset for the purpose of
cleaning or maintenance. This cleaner code works in conjunction with cleaner access points which have
been programmed by the engineer. Check your SIS to see if any points have been programmed for cleaner
access.
The cleaner code cannot be used to reset the system in alarm.
Group Shunt
The Group shunt facility allows part of the protected premises to be unset without unsetting the whole
system. This is often used to allow access to a garage or loading-bay area independently from the main
area of the protected premises. Check your SIS to see if this facility has been provided.
The detection points in the group will operate normally; they will be set when the system is set, and unset
when the system is unset. However, they can also be unset (dis-armed) at any time by operating the group
shunt keyswitch. Your installation engineer will give you details on how to do this.
Re-arming the group is done with the keyswitch. However, if a detection point in the group is in fault, eg a
door has been left open, the group cannot be re-armed. An led located close to the keyswitch will light, or a
buzzer may sound, when it is not possible to re-arm the group. You must dis-arm the group by the
keyswitch; this will turn off the led or buzzer. Enter the protected area and clear the faults before trying to re-
arm the group again.

Manager Facilities
The manager code is normally used to carry out system management functions. It is used to allocate and
delete other user codes, test the system, view the event memory, etc.
On entry of the manager code in Day mode the keypad will display the first managers menu option
1) Set System?
The manager has 10 similar menu options. Use the and keys to move through the menus. To perform
a function press the ENTER key.
The manager code can be used to unset the system in the normal way. It can also be used to set the
system, but the procedure is slightly different to the normal user code.
MENU 1 - Set System
Menu 1 allows the manager to set the system. Go to this menu and press the ENTER key.
1) Set System?
The system will start to set as if a normal user code had been entered. The options available to the normal
user, such as part-set and omit, are available in the normal way.
MENU 2 - View Event Log
Menu 2 allows the manager to view the event log, which is a list of the last 200 events to occur. Go to menu
2 and press the ENTER key.
2) View
Event Log?
The keypad will display the last event to be logged. In the example here, 145 is the event number (events
are numbered 1 to 200), USER RESET is the description of the event.
