System Monitoring
Report to Alarm Receiving Center
When a system event occurs, the control system sends a message to your monitoring
service describing the exact nature of the event. This enables the monitoring service to
perform the required action. Monitoring service notification can be implemented through
either regular telephone cellular communication or IP network.
A sensor detects. The control system  An alarm is generated and the
is alerted. monitoring service is notified.
Caution:
Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. This system is only intended to
alert you in case of an emergency and should not take the place of prudent security
practices or life and property insurance.
Follow Me Messaging
In the case of an alarm or event, the system can initiate a report message to up to 16
predefined designated destinations using a voice announcement, SMS or email to express
the active event.
SMS Example:
Security System:
21/01/2011
Intruder Alarm
Partition 1
Entrance
Email Message Example:
Subject: Alarm Security Message: Intruder Alarm

Chapter 2 Setting and Unsetting
The following chapter describes how to operate your LightSYS locally from the LCD
keypad. For system operation from other accessories, refer to the instructions supplied
with the product.
As a user of your security system, you'll mostly be concerned with the keypad.
The LightSYS LCD keypad is the primary system interface. Each keypad in your system
reports its status via its LCD icons, as described below. Through its keys, you can enter
commands to set and unset the system, omit intrusion zones, report emergencies, and
more, as described in the subsequent chapters of this manual. For detailed information
regarding the keypad interface, refer to the instruction supplied with the keypad.
Notes:
1. There are two types of LCD keypads, with and without proximity for non-contact
setting and unsetting.
2. Each keypad in the system is assigned to a particular partition, meaning that
commands entered in a keypad are implemented only in the partition to which it is
assigned. For example, pressing the Quick Set key on a keypad assigned to
partition 1 sets only partition 1
Setting your system
Setting your system causes the intrusion detectors to trigger an alarm when violated. You
can set your system by code setting, in which you need to use your user code, or you can
use quick setting (without using a code).
Note:
If during code setting you enter a wrong user code, the keypad produces
three short beeps. Press quickly and re-enter the sequence
correctly.
Remember, fire protection and the protection offered by the keypad's emergency keys are
always set and always available (if authorized by your engineer).
Before setting the system:
1. Verify that the (ready) icon is lit or flashing indicating that system is READY
to be set.
2. Make sure that the system includes no violated zones and is ready to be set.
3. If the system is NOT ready to be set, secure or omit the violated zone(s) (see page
32), and then proceed.

Setting and Unsetting
LightSYS User Manual Page 14
Notes:
If you are unable to set the system, press to view system messages.
If defined by your engineer, your system can be defined to accept force setting. This
definition sets the system regardless of open zones when using a
keyswitch/wireless fob or automatic setting. Note that force setting the system
results in leaving partition(s) unsecured.
If defined by your engineer, it might be required that all faults in the system should
be confirmed to enable the setting operation.
Your LightSYS supports the following kinds of setting:
Full setting
Full setting ( )prepares all of the system's intrusion detectors to activate an alarm if
violated, and is used when leaving the premises. Once you have set the system, exit via the
designated final exit door.
To fully set your system:
1. Verify that the system is ready to be set.
2. Enter your user code followed by or hold the tag close to the keypad's keys.
3. Leave the premises and close the door. The keypad beeps and the icon flashes
while the system counts down the exit delay time period.
4. When the exit delay time period has expired, the icon lights steadily.
Note:
If defined by your engineer, system sounders can sound one chirp, indicating that the
system is set.
Part setting
Part setting ( )activates only perimeter detectors (as defined by your engineer), enabling
individuals to remain inside and move about the premises while the system is partially set.
To part set your system:
1. Verify that the system is ready to set.
2. Enter your user code followed by .

Setting and Unsetting
Page 15 LightSYS User Manual
3. During the exit delay time period:
the keypad beeps
the icon flashes
the icon lights
indicating that the interior zones are being omitted.
4. When the exit delay time period has expired, the icon lights steadily.
Notes:
1. Press to cancel the Entry Delay time period for the current PART setting.
2. Press during the exit delay time period to silence the keypad beeps.
Partition setting
A key LightSYS advantage is its ability to divide the system into up-to-four partitions. Each
partition can be managed as a separate security sub-system, that is, set and unset
individually, regardless of the condition of the others
Partitions can be set or unset one at a time, or all at once, and each partition can be set as full
or part set. Only users who have been defined to operate multiple partitions can operate
more than one partition and simultaneously set/unset all partitions.
To set specific partitions:
1. Verify that the system is ready to set.
2. For full setting enter your user code followed by or hold the tag close to the
keypad's keys. For part setting, press .
3. Select the number of the partition you want to set.
Notes:
If your user code is assigned to more than one partition, use the or keys to
select the required partition(s) and press . Select "0" to set all partitions assigned
to a code.
4. Press / Present Tag (For full set) or press (part set) to set the selected
partition(s).
5. Repeat the above steps to set additional partitions

Notes:
Keypads and Partitions —Each keypad is assigned to different partition(s). The grand
master and the manager (with access to all partitions) can use any keypad to access any
partition. Other users can use only designated keypads.
Common Zones —Partitioned systems have to share common zones. For example, a
shared front door to two family houses must be available to both families and is therefore
shared between them.
A common zone(s) is set only if all partitions sharing the zone(s) are set. The common
zone(s) is unset if any of the partitions, to which the zone(s) is assigned, are unset.
If the system is defined to work in area mode, the common zone will be set if any partition
sharing the zone is set. The common zone will be unset when all the partitions sharing the
zone are unset.
Group Setting
Group setting enables you to set a number of zones within a partition, using the function
keys , , , . Ask your engineer about group definition in the system.
Each partition can be defined with up to four groups.
To set a group (if the system has one partition):
1. Verify that the system is ready to set.
2. Enter your code, followed by pressing for two seconds the key for the
corresponded group you want to set (A, B, C, D).
The selected group is set.
For example, to set group C, enter: [Code] [ for two seconds].
3. To set another group, repeat the above steps .
