NESS D16 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL 5
INTRODUCTION
The Ness D16 micro computer based 16 zone
control panel is the heart of your security system
to which all your detection devices connect.
Each Zone of the panel can be connected to one
or more detection devices to protect separate
rooms of your premises.
Detection devices may be connected to the D16
control system directly by cabling or with optional
wireless (Radio) devices.
Detection devices called Passive Infra-Red
Detectors (or P.I.R’s for short) can detect the
movement of an intruder by sensing their body
heat. P.I.R’s are used to cover various critical areas
of your premises where an intruder may enter or
trespass.Another detection device used is called a
Reed Switch. Reed Switches are attached to
windows and doors to detect if a window or door
has been opened. A Reed Switch consists of a
magnet which is normally attached to the moving
part of a window or door and the Reed switch
which mounts to the door or window frame.
The panel is “Armed” when it is set to detect an
intruder. At other times it is “Disarmed”.
Normally a zone is considered Sealed. Activation
of a detection device will cause the zone to be
Unsealed and may cause an alarm.
Detectors such as fire detectors and panic buttons
must be able to generate an alarm at all times
regardless of the panel setting. A zone with this
assignment is called a 24 hour zone.
Some detection devices may be required to
generate an alarm or warning only when the panel
is Disarmed. A zone with this assignment is called
a Day zone.
Before leaving the premises you must Arm the
panel to enable it to detect intruders and generate
an alarm. After arming, the panel will ignore
detectors during the Exit Delay Time to enable you
to depart without triggering an alarm.
Arming the system may be done through the
keypad or with the use of optional Radio Keys for
Arming by remote control from outside the
premises.
When you enter the premises the panel will ignore
selected zones for the Entry Delay Time and will
not alarm unless you don’t Disarm the panel during
this allowed time.
Disarming the system may be done by keypad or
with the use of optional Radio Keys.
Monitor mode allows selected zones to be Armed
while leaving others Disarmed if you wish to
protect a number of zones while you are at home.
If you wish to split your alarm system into two areas
with access limited to each area by code numbers
then Area operation is used. Radio Keys can also
Arm and Disarm Areas.
The control panel housing and the covers over
external sirens are protected by tamper switches
to detect someone attempting to disable the
security system. Activation of these switches will
cause an instant tamper alarm.
If a detector becomes faulty, you can Exclude the
associated zone so that it is totally ignored and
cannot generate an alarm. Including the zone will
enable it to generate an alarm again.
The control panel is fitted with a rechargeable
stand-by battery to ensure your security system
continues to operate if the mains power is
interrupted.This control panel automatically tests
the battery every hour and whenever you Arm/
Disarm the panel. (Dynamic Battery test).
Whenever an alarm occurs,it may be silenced with
a User Code or by optional Radio Keys, otherwise
it will reset at the end of Alarm Reset Time.
All alarms are stored in memory and may be
viewed at any time by entering Memory Mode.

NESS D16 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL

OPERATION
This section describes the operation of a
typical control panel installation. Keep in
mind that your installation may vary
depending on the selected options and
equipment. The operating instructions
which follow will endeavour to cover the
most common options.
Consult your installation company if you
require further information.
All control panel operations are controlled
by the D16 keypad except if an optional key
switch or radio control equipment is
installed.
OPERATING RULES
Generally, the panel will be Disarmed. Armed
or Monitor modes provide different levels of
security for your premises when you are
home or away. Three other temporary
modes; Program,Memory and Exclude,allow
you to perform various operations.The panel
will automatically exit from these temporary
modes if you do not press any buttons on
the keypad in a 4 minute period.
If you make a mistake while entering any
codes,press the enter button and start again.
When you are required to enter your access
code, you are given five opportunities to
enter it correctly. After the fifth invalid
attempt the alarm is activated (requiring the
correct code to silence the alarm). This
prevents anyone trying to guess your code
by entering random numbers.
AREA OPERATION
Area Partitioning allows the 16 zones to be
split into two partitions; Area1 and Area2.
The panel then effectively operates as two
separate systems sharing only the siren
outputs and dialler.
USER CODE ASSIGNMENT
A User Code assigned to an Area can Arm and
Disarm only that Area. User Codes assigned
to both Areas will operate both Areas
simultaneously.
COMMON AREA ZONES
Zones assigned to both Areas are Armed only
when Area1 and Area2 are both Armed.This
allows the Common Area zone/s to be shared
by both Areas.
For example, Office A and Office B operate
as separate areas but the entrance foyer used
by both offices is assigned to both areas
meaning it will automatically Arm when both
Areas have Armed. The Common Area then
automatically disarms when either Area1 or
Area2 Disarms.
OPERATION
Arming and Disarming is carried out as
normal from a single keypad or separate
keypads installed in both areas or by Radio
Key.
Area operation only applies to zones when
they are in the Armed state.This means that
Day, 24hr and Monitor zones are
independent of the area operations.
Note: Area partitioning is in addition to
Monitor Mode. Any zone may be allocated
to any area.

NESS D16 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL 9
ARMING YOUR ALARM SYSTEM
The control panel must be Armed prior to
vacating the premises in order to detect
intruders. Ensure that the panel is not in
Program, Memory or Exclude modes.
Note:If the panel is already in alarm, you must first
silence the alarm before you can Arm.
If something is wrong when Arming the
control panel, the normal 3 beeps will be
replaced by other warnings.
10
10 beeps means Mains Power is
turned off or the Backup Battery is low.
One long beep indicates an invalid
entry or an alarm is outstanding and needs
to be reset by entering your User Code first.
1. The NOT READY light must be off
2. Press
[User Code]
...or
(If Arming Shortcut has been enabled by your installer)
...or by RADIO KEY, press the ON button
3. The ARMED light will turn on
• Leave the premises within the Exit Delay Time
• At the end of Exit Delay Time, 3 beeps will sound
ARMING
SIREN WARNING:
At the end of the exit time, all zones should
be Sealed. If any are Unsealed,the siren will
sound for 2 seconds as a warning to indicate
that those zones have been automatically
excluded. For maximum security, you should
return, Disarm, check the premises and then
Arm again. Continual warnings could mean
that a detector is faulty and may have to be
manually excluded.
If the auto-exclude option is disabled, the
siren will sound for the duration of reset time
if a zone is Unsealed at the end of exit time.

NESS D16 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL 19
AUDIBLE MONITORING
CENTRAL STATION MONITORING
The D16 control panel has an on-board digital
dialler which can send detailed alarm messages to
a Central Monitoring Station.
The digital messages can include information
about the zone or zones which caused the alarm,
tamper alarms,low battery or mains failure reports,
and it can also (by user number) identify the users
who Arm and Disarm the system.
Central Station Monitoring is highly recommended
and is the most effective method of monitoring
your D16 alarm system. For further information
about 24 hour monitoring,contact your installer or
Ness Security Products.
AUDIBLE MONITORING
The D16 can also be programmed to send audible
messages to any telephone or mobile phone.
When programmed for audible monitoring, the
D16 calls a pre-programmed number (or numbers)
and sounds a series of beeps over the phone.These
beeps can identify the zone or zones which caused
the alarm and well as several other alarm types.
* The programming of Primary and Secondary
phone numbers is an Installer Programming
option.
** The Follow Me Telephone Number replaces
the Primary AND Secondary telephone
numbers.
FOLLOW ME TELEPHONE NUMBER
Alarms are normally reported using the Primary
and Secondary telephone numbers.* When
Audible Monitoring is enabled, the Follow Me
Telephone Number is available** and can be
programmed in User Program mode.
See page 17 for information on programming the
Follow Me Telephone Number.

OPERATING THE D16 BY TELEPHONE
The D16 will allow a user to call in to the
panel, using a standard DTMF telephone,
and remotely Arm or Disarm all areas and
also turn on or off Aux 1 and Aux 2.
To ensure security of operation a user can
only carry out remote operations after
entering a valid user code.
REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS NEED:
•A telephone with DTMF tones.
•A Valid User code programmed in the
D16.
•The Telephone number that the D16 is
connected to.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION.
1. Phone the D16 telephone number and
listen for the required number of rings
(ring ring...ring ring) and then hang up.
2. Wait 10 seconds and then call the
number again within 50 seconds.
3. The D16 will answer the second call
immediately, sound a beep for 2 seconds
then, after a pause, it will sound a lower
frequency tone. The D16 is now ready to
receive telephone commands.
4. Press the button on the telephone.
This tells the D16 that telephone
commands will follow. The D16 will
respond with either 3 beeps if all OK
(One long beep means try again).
5. Now enter a valid User Code (that is
normally used for Arming or Disarming
the D16) followed by the button.

periods longer than 10 seconds it will
assume that the call is finished and it will
hang up.

to dial out while attempting remote
control, the D16 will treat the alarm as a
priority, give a constant tone as a warning
and then hang up.
• When all remote control commands are
finished press to force the D16 to
hang up.
