Micron SCORPION Z9PC User manual

Using your SCORPION Z9PC alarm controller
PIN numbers (user codes)
SCORPION has 8 variable length 4 digit pin numbers, All of these numbers may be selectively programmed to arm
and disarm the system.
The keypad beeper
SCORPION annunciates conditions through the keypad beeper. During an arming cycle the beeper will sound for
the entire exit time. This is a "leave now" warning. On entry, the beeper sounds for the programmed entry period.
SCORPION will alarm at the expiry of this period. If a valid code is entered to disarm the system, the beeper emits
two short tones. An incorrect entry is annunciated as one long tone.
The status (yellow) lamp
The yellow status lamps are used to indicate several conditions:
Status lamp (S 1) on, Area A is arming or armed
Status lamp (S 1) off, Area A is disarmed
Status lamp (S 1) flashing, an alarm has occurred in area 1, or a system fault exists.
Status lamp (S 2) on, Area B is arming or armed
Status lamp (S 2) off, Area B is disarmed
Status lamp (S 2) flashing, an alarm has occurred in area 2, or a system fault exists.
PANIC or Two key panic
If this function has been programmed into SCORPION it may be activated by pressing * and # simultaneously.
A panic activation may be cancelled by entering any valid user code.

If all zones are clear the keypad emits a short 2 beep tone and the yellow status lamp turns on. The lamps for all
zones to be armed are also turned on. Flashing lamps are accompanied by a long 2-beep tone and indicate that
one or more zones are not secure. In some installations this may be a normal condition and it will be necessary to
consult with your security company.
To DISARM the system press:
A valid USER CODE then #
The keypad will beep twice and the yellow status lamp turns off.
A flashing yellow lamp at this time indicates that one or more zones of SCORPION has been activated.
To determine which zone has caused the alarm:
Press 8 1 then # to view alarmed zones area A.
Press 8 2 then # to view alarmed zones area B.

In Night Mode SCORPION allows 30 seconds (no beeper) for sensors to stabilise before arming.
Arming is confirmed by two key beeps. When a zone is tripped in night mode SCORPION annunciates the
intrusion with 20 seconds of pulsed beeping before sounding internal (selectable) and external sirens.
To disarm the system in night mode press:
A valid USER CODE then #

NITEWATCH ARMING STATION. (Optional)
Zones selected as night arming zones may be armed / disarmed from a nitewatch arming station (optional extra).
Nitewatch is simple even for very young children to use.
To ARM or DISARM nitewatch press:
The single top key.
If the area is secure, NITEWATCH emits two beeps and lights the 'ARMED' lamp. SCORPION now waits 30
seconds for all sensors to settle. At the expiry of this period NITEWATCH emits two further beeps and arms the
pre- programmed NIGHT ZONES. If any part of the system is not secure the 'UNSAFE' lamp will turn on and
NITEWATCH warns you by pulsing the beeper.
If an activation occurs when SCORPION is armed in NITEWATCH mode, the beeper will pulse for the pre-
programmed entry time prior to activating the main alarm output. During this period NITEWATCH may be disarmed
by pressing the single TOP key.
If NITEWATCH is not disarmed within the 20 second time frame SCORPION can only be disarmed by entering a
valid code at any keypad.
Panic / duress alarm press:
Both bottom keys together.
NOTE: SCORPION can NOT be disarmed from Nitewatch if a full alarm activation is present.
To cancel an alarm activation press:
A valid USER CODE then # at any keypad.
CHIME ZONES.
To turn ON or OFF chime mode press:
7 then 1 then # (two beeps)
In Partition Mode:
7 then 1 then # (area A)
7 then 2 then # (area B)
Each time a sensor is activated while the system is disarmed and chime mode is turned on, the keypad beeps
approximately 5 times. In this mode SCORPION acts as a door or area minder while you are at home.
