8 ProSYS User's Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of RISCO Group's ProSYS Security
System. The ProSYS has been specifically designed to meet a wide range
of security needs for many residential and commercial applications.
The ProSYS includes the most advanced communication capabilities for
dual or triple-path communication to Monitoring Stations (MSs) using
telephone lines, GSM/GPRS network or TCP/IP network. It consists of a
variety of sensors, detectors, and contacts placed throughout the premises.
It is designed to recognize abnormal conditions and inform the system of
the status of any protected door, window, hallway, room, or area.
The Main Panel, which contains the system's electronics and backup
battery, functions in the background. For security purposes, it is
recommended that it be installed out of sight.
You can place a household appliance or premises lighting under the control
of the ProSYS, where it can be conveniently turned on and off
automatically or by user command from any system keypad, as described
on page 32.
In addition, the ProSYS supports the following optional RISCO Group
devices:
)Advanced Communication Module that enables the system to operate
over the IP network.
)GSM/GPRS module which enables the system to communicate over
the GSM/GPRS network, and also send or receive SMS commands.
)Access Control, which enables integrating access control capabilities
into your security system.
)Digital Voice Module which enables you to receive voice messages,
operate the system from a remote phone, and listen- in or speak to the
premises.

ProSYS User's Manual 9
Operating the System
The ProSYS can easily be operated locally or remotely depending on the
devices connected to the system.
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.
The ProSYS can be operated in the following ways:
)Locally through its keypad(s). There are two types of keypads: one with
an LED, and the other with an LCD. Using its keys, you can issue
commands to your system. In turn, the system can communicate
information to you via its display, indicators and by the sounds it
makes. See page 13 for a description of the different types of keypads.
)Locally or remotely using RISCO Group’s Upload/ Download software.
The Upload/Download software enables the installer to program the
system, and enables the user to operate the system and to view
system status.
)If your system is appropriately equipped, it can be armed using a
keyswitch, proximity tag or a wireless button key. These features must
be programmed by your installer.
)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 arming the system,
disarming the system and more. For details information refer to the
manual provided with the GSM/GPRS module.
)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 of
a security situation by calling you and playing a prerecorded Event
announcement, as described in the Voice Module Programming and

10 ProSYS User's Manual
Operations Manual.
The first task to be performed before operating the system is Setting and
Changing User Codes, as described on page 36.

ProSYS User's Manual 11
Terms and Definitions
There are a few terms with which you should become familiar. Knowing
them will help you to better understand and use your system.
Authority Level: Each individual using the system is assigned a user
code, which, in turn, is linked to an Authority Level. Those with a "higher
authority" have access to a greater number of system functions, while
those with a "lower authority" are more restricted in what they may do.
There are nine different Authority Levels available for users of the ProSYS,
as described on page 38.
Chime: The chime is a series of three short keypad tones, which can be
set up to annunciate, during the disarmed period, the violation of selected
intrusion zone(s). For example, the chime tone can be used to annunciate
the arrival of a customer each time the front door opens. The chime can be
disabled or enabled at your discretion.
Event Log: A list of system events can be displayed on an LCD keypad or
uploaded to the Monitoring Station via the Upload/Download software and
printed for further analysis.
Exit/Entry Delay: Your security system must incorporate an
entry/exit delay to allow proper entry and exit to and from the premises
without causing inadvertent alarms.
Follow-Me Destinations: In addition to the standard event reporting to the
Monitoring Station, the system can send event messages to a designated
system user's telephone/email.
Group: A number of zones gathered as one unit to allow partial arming.
Each zone can be assigned to any one (or a combination) of four groups
(A, B, C or D). Each partition can be divided into a maximum of four
groups.
Keyswitch: Your system may also be equipped with a keyswitch, which is
useful for simple arming and disarming operations (usually at a remote
location).
Monitoring Station: Your system is set up to report alarms to a
Monitoring Station, which is a facility that continually monitors the activities
of many security systems (usually via the telephone network) and
dispatches the proper authorities.
Partition: One of the ProSYS advantages is its ability to divide any system
into a number of partitions. You can think of each partition as a separate
security system that can be armed and disarmed individually.

12 ProSYS User's Manual
Proximity: A technology that enables a keypad to sense when a proximity
key tag is near it. This provides an easy and user-friendly way to arm or
disarm the security system.
Tamper: A device that prevents system hardware from being tampered
with by triggering an alarm whenever a hardware component is opened.
Trouble Reporting: If required, your security system may also report to
the Monitoring Station any troubles or malfunctions it senses, so that a
service call can be made.
Upload/Download: Software used by the installer for programming the
ProSYS and by the user for operating the system and viewing system
status.
User Code: Up to a four-digit or six-digit code that is used to perform many
of the ProSYS functions.
Utility Output (UO): A household appliance. In addition to your system's
normal operation, it is possible to place a household appliance or premises
lighting under the control of the ProSYS where it can be conveniently
turned on and off automatically, or by user command from any system
keypad.
Weekly Schedules: Through the use of the system's built-in clock, it is
possible to schedule automatic operations such as arming and disarming,
UO activation, and user limitation.
Zone: A single detector, or collection of detectors, usually relating to a
certain area of the premises or type of protection. Zones that use devices
designed to detect break-ins are called intrusion zones. Another kind of
zone may contain one or more smoke detectors.Such zones are called fire
zones. An environmental zone typically protects the premises from gas
leaks and/or flooding.

ProSYS User's Manual 13
Chapter 2: Your Keypad
As a user of your security system, you'll need to be primarily concerned
with the keypad. This section discusses the keypad's visual indicators and
the use of its keys.
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 Arm key on a
keypad assigned to partition 1 arms only partition 1.
Each keypad in your system reports its status via its LED (lighted)
indicators at the left, as described on page 14. Through its keys, you can
enter commands to arm and disarm the system, bypass intrusion zones,
report emergencies, etc., as described in the subsequent chapters of this
manual.
NOTE:
The keys and the LED indicators (except the Zone LED indicators) are the
same in all types of keypads.
Keypad Types
The ProSYS supports the following types of keypads:
LED Keypad: Communicates information via LEDs (either an 8-LED
keypad or a 16-LED keypad).
LCD Keypad: Communicates the system status via messages displayed
on an LCD.
LCD Proximity Keypad: An LCD keypad with the ability to sense when a
proximity key tag is near it. This type of keypad provides the user with a
friendly and easy way to arm or disarm the security system. Refer to
Chapter 12, Proximity Key, page 55.
NOTE:
For information regarding the Touchscreen keypad, refer to the ProSYS
Touchscreen Keypad Instruction manual that is included with the product.

ProSYS User's Manual 19
The annunciation that results during these emergency alarms, along with
other system sounds, is described on page 68. If your system has been
programmed to do so, it will communicate any or all of these alarms to the
Monitoring Station monitoring your installation. System programming also
determines whether these emergency alarms will be audible and/or
capable of being communicated to the Monitoring Station.
Quick Key Operation
The Quick Key Operation is a short effective way that helps you to easily
operate your system and quickly activate user functions, skipping the user
code. For example, to set the system, simply press the /key.
NOTE:
For quick key operation your installer has to define quick key operation.
