1How to Connect LCD Keypad
Connect an LCD keypad (KLT/KLR500) to program the alarm system; see how below.
1.1 FORCE
Connect the keypad to the control panel in one of the following two options:
1. Connect a Molex cable (P/N 3411119) between the keypad’s socket at the bottom (no. 1 in
the image below), and the technician keypad’s connector (no. 2 in the image).
2. Connect four wires (not supplied) between the FORCE BUS terminals in the control panel
(no. 3 in the image) and the keypad’s terminal block (open the keypad’s back cover).
1.2 VISION
Connect a Molex cable (P/N 3411119) between the keypad’s socket (no. 1 in the image below)
and one of the technician keypad’s connectors (marked with two red rectangles in the image).

2Menus and codes
Some of the menus are FORCE only; see relevant footnotes.
The alarm system has two programming menus: User, and Technician; each menu is accessed
using its Master code. In addition, a Central Monitoring Station (CMS) menu can be accessed
using a separate CMS Lock code:
•Master User code: allows accessing all the user menus.
•Master Technician code: allows accessing all the technician menus, except locked CMS menu.
•CMS Lock code: an optional code for preventing access to the CMS settings by using the
Master technician code. This code only allows the technician/CMS to set and access the
CMS’communication definitions, including the account ID and the paths.
2.1.1 Code setting guidelines
Note the following when setting codes in the FORCE security system:
•All codes are made of four to six digits, except the Quick Arm (two digits)
•A code cannot start with the Quick Arm ’s two digits or the four digits of any code.
•A code cannot be viewed, nor retrieved.
2.1.2 Activation codes
Eight codes to be used for activating devices (via relay outputs) by the system users - whether
it is an electric gate or a floodlight, users can turn them on and off using these codes.
Triggering the outputs is done using the Activation Codes 1-8 programmed output types (see
Appendix C, on page 35).
Activation codes are subject to keypad and user partitioning.
2.2 Changing the default Master and Technician codes
To enter the menus for the first time, the default codes must be changed. Follow the next steps
to change the codes.
1. Connect the alarm system to power and wait for the main screen to be displayed.
2. Press 5555; the codes’ menu is displayed.
3. Press - the curser moves to the right of the Master Code .
4. Enter a new 4-6 digit code. Write down the code and advice
the system owner to keep it in a safe place.
5. Press to save the code.
6. Press the down arrow to the Tech. Code and press .
7. Enter a new 4-6 digit technician code.
8. Press to save the code.
9. Press to exit.
2.3 The technician menu
The Technician menu has two sub-menus: System Configuration and Tests & Diagnostics .

Event Reporting
System Configuration  CMS & Communications  Monitoring Stations  CMS 1-3  Event Reporting
Select the events to report to the CMS. The optional events are:
▪Alarms: Burglary, Panic, Fire, Duress, Medical, Tamper, Custom Zone 1-5.

6: CMS & Communications

▪Faults
▪Invalid Code, Arming/Disarming, Technician On-site, Remote test, Periodic test, Zone
Bypass, Zone Restore, Pre-alarm (Entry Delay), Power-up, Zone/Output Toggle.
▪Zone/output Toggle –each change in zoned and output will be reported. This may
cause load on the communication traffic. Use this feature only upon special request
such as connection to special CMS software that requires it.

Reporting Codes
System Configuration  CMS & Communications  Monitoring Stations  Radio  Reporting Codes
The radio reporting and restore codes for alarms and other events. Note the following:
1. The codes apply only for some radio protocols. Consult the CMS before setting them.
2. A zone is reinstated in the following conditions:
a. The alarm system/partition is disarmed (or the first partition, if the zone is allocated to
more than one).
b. A user un-bypasses a zone
c. Bypass Limit time elapses
3. Following are several points regarding the zone restore reporting:
oA zone restore report is generated, when an alarmed zone is closed and rearms itself.
When siren time elapses, the zone status is checked and if it has already been closed,
the report is generated.
oIf the zone is not set to trigger the sirens, the report is sent as soon as the zone is
closed.
oIf a zone had triggered the alarm and was meanwhile closed, the report will be
generated as the alarm system is disarmed.
oIn partitioned system, a zone restore report is generated, only when the partition it’s
allocated to, is disarmed.
The Reporting Codes menu includes the following sub-menus:
