1. INTRODUCTION
Dear customer
Congratulations on your purchase of the VISION - PIMA
Electronic Systems’ wireless alarm system. You can use the
VISION with our wireless detectors and peripherals, which
include, among others, key fobs, wireless keypads, and a panic
buttons.
The VISION offers advanced communication technology,
including built-in Ethernet connection. Cellular, PSTN and wi-fi
communications are optional.
With the PIMAlink 3.0 smartphone application (for Android and
iOS) and cloud service, you can receive notifications, and arm
and disarm your alarm system from anywhere.
Note: This alarm system must be checked by a qualified
technician at least once every three years.
This User guide refers to the VISION alarm system, version 1.X.
The system is supplied with three guides:
This guide, which includes the user-programming guide and
the system maintenance instructions.
User quick start guide

Installation guide, which includes the system and
accessories installation, and wiring instructions, as well as
the technician-programming guide.
If you purchased an LCD keypad, refer to the full programming
instructions in the FORCE and VISION programming guide,
which can be downloaded from our website at
https://www.pima-alarms.com/download/ .
Cautions: the VISION is based on wireless
(RF) transmissions. Any wireless
transmission can be subject to RF
interference and, although unlikely, this
interference may cause the Vision not to
operate as intended.
RF transmissions will be attenuated by
tinted glass, in wall isolation with metal
foils, metal objects, etc.

2. PAIRING TO PIMA CLOUD AND APP
You need to pair your VISION alarm system to PIMA cloud, to be
able to receive notifications on your smartphone, and control
the alarm system remotely. Pairing allows a secure connection
between devices (the same as in Bluetooth technology).
To pair your alarm system, you will need a pairing code. Your
alarm’s code is printed on a label on the system’s enclosure, as
a QR or bar code. You can scan the label or manually enter the
code, via the PIMAlink 3.0 app, as will be explained further on.
Connecting to the system is only allowed to paired phones.
2.1. How to pair your alarm system
You need to use a key fob (RMC) or a keypad arming station
(KAS) to pair your alarm (and your phone).
2.1.1. Using the RMC key fob
1. Press and hold the Arm and Disarm buttons (see below)
shortly. From this moment on, the cloud will allow to pair
devices to your alarm system for 10 minutes.
