LightSYS2 Architecture
Your LightSYS2 controls and monitors a variety of sensors, detectors, and contacts
placed throughout the premises, which provide external, perimeter and internal
burglary protection. The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the
status of each sensor to detect problems. If a fault is detected, you are notified both
with panel beeps and indicator lights as well as remote messaging.
The following diagram shows the components that make up the system:

User Operating Tools
LightSYS2 can easily be managed locally or remotely depending on your system
configuration.
You can issue commands to the system and in turn, the system will communicate
information to you via its display, indicators, voice messages, SMS messages, Email
messages and by the sounds it makes.
Depending on your purchased supplementary modules, you can operate your system via
the following:
LightSYS2 Keypad and proximity tag:
Locally through its LCD keypad(s), you can issue commands to
your system. In turn, the system can communicate information to
you through its display, indicators and by the sounds it makes.
2-Way Slim Keypad
With support for up to three bi-directional wireless
communication, 2-Way slim keypads, LightSYS2 now offers an
outdoor-certified tamper-proof power-saving option. The slim
keypad offers the entire range of setting and unsetting as well as
alarming options

Page 15
2-Way 8 Button Remote Control:
Using the bi-directional 8 button remote control you can set,
unset, send a panic alarm, activate outputs and more. Being bi-
directional the remote control receives a reply status indication,
via its 3 colored LEDs and internal buzzer sounder, from the
panel for each command that it has sent to the panel. For higher
security, commands can be defined to be activated with a 4 digit
PIN code.
Smartphone Operations:
Homeowners can now enjoy the iRISCO Smartphone App for
smart and easy control of their LightSYS2 system. The app
enables users to set/unset the system on-the-go, activate home
automation devices, omit detectors, view the system’s status and
history, and much more. Available for iPhone, iPad and Android.
Note: Registration and connection of your system to
www.riscocloud.com may depend on your engineer
Web Application:
RISCO Group’s interactive web application enables you to
monitor, control and configure your LightSYS2 system from any
location. As with the Smartphone app, the application is powered
by the RISCO Cloud server.
Note: Registration and connection of your system to
www.riscocloud.com may depend on your engineer
4 Button Keyfob:
Using the wireless 4 button keyfob you can set, unset, send a
panic alarm and activate outputs.
Remote Phone Operation:
If your system includes the voice module, it can provide audible
information about system status, and enable any remote,
touch-tone (DTMF) telephone to act as a keypad for the system.
Upon event occurrence, such as alarm activation, the voice
module informs you by calling you and playing a prerecorded
event announcement, as described in the 5IN1545 LightSYS Voice
Module Programming and Operations Guide.

Mastering Your System
Page 16
SMS:
If your system is equipped with RISCO Group's GSM/GPRS
module it can provide information about the system by SMS and
enable operation of the system using SMS commands for setting
the system, unsetting the system and more.
Configuration Software:
RISCO Group's Configuration Software enables the engineer to
program the system and manage the system locally or remotely.
System Monitoring
Report to Alarm Receiving Centre
When a system event occurs, the control system sends a message to your monitoring
service (Alarm Receiving Centre) 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.

Mastering Your System
Page 17
Follow Me Messaging
When an alarm or event, the system can initiate a report message of up to 16 predefined
designated destinations using a voice announcement, SMS , smartphone app, 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
System Name: John's Residence
Event: Fire Alarm, Zone 5, Entrance door
Time: 01 April 2011; 16:12
Partition: Partition 1, First floor
Service Contact: Alarm Receive Cntr 01, 03-5676778
Your engineer defines the type of reporting to a Follow Me destination. Consult your
engineer for the report type for each destination.
The definition of the telephone number or Email address for each destination is defined by
the grand master (see page 36)
Notes:
Voice messaging requires using the LightSYS2 voice module. This module also
enables the LightSYS2 to announce various local messages to residents.
SMS messaging requires the use of the LightSYS2 GSM/GPRS module.
Email messaging requires the use of the LightSYS2 IP module.
LCD Status Display
The LCD status display will vary depending on the number of partitions in your system.
If your system is defined with only one partition, the LCD displays the partition name,
time and date.
If your system has two or three partitions, the LCD displays the system name, date, time
and the status of each partition. A status letter represents the partition’s status, as follows:
S: Partition Set N: Partition Not Ready L: Partition in Alarm
PS: Partition Partial Set R: Partition Ready
LCD Blank Display
If defined by your engineer, two minutes after the last keypad operation the keypad will
be disabled and the following display will appear on the LCD:
Enter code:
To release the keypad and return to normal operation mode press: [CODE] + .
Note:
During blank display mode the Ready LED indicates a fault in the system.

System Tones
In addition to the visual indications provided by your keypad(s), your system is designed
to produce audible annunciation after certain events. Depending on the circumstance, such
sounds may be made by your system's keypad(s) or sounders (for example, a sounder or
bell).
Note:
If defined by your engineer, internal bell annunciation can be generated to
accompany any of the keypad sounds.

may beep during this type of alarm.
2. Keypad beeps may be disabled at the user's discretion, see Buzzer On/Off,
page 44.
3. Press for two seconds to stop the fault beeps
4. Any intrusion zone, if selected for the chime feature, will, when violated
during the unset period, cause the keypad to annunciate the event. The chime
can also be disabled when not required.

Chapter 2 Setting and Unsetting
The following chapter describes how to operate your LightSYS2 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 LightSYS2 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. Simply re-enter the correct sequence.
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
37), and then proceed.
