Use of CARDIO
Introduction
The CARDIO home automation system enables homeowners to better manage such basic functions as
heating/air conditioning, security, lighting and appliance control. Through the automation of some of these
functions, CARDIO also ensures a higher degree of comfort and peace of mind. Additionally, the efficient
management of heating/air conditioning and lighting brings tangible savings.
CARDIO has been designed to ensure an extremely user-friendly system. CARDIO can be controlled
both from inside the home (through its touch screen or from any inside telephone) as well as from any
location in the world. Your home, therefore, is always as close as the nearest telephone.
The commands used are easy to understand and are often identical to those used in well-known devices
such as thermostats and alarm systems.
CARDIO’s goal is therefore to help better manage the home environment. It works in the background to
enhance the home, to make it more efficient but also more comfortable.
Important
CARDIO’s touch screen offers user-friendly features unmatched by any mass produced electronic
system. A light touch is all that is necessary to turn on the screen and execute the commands.
!WARNING!: Never apply any hard or sharp objects to the screen to avoid possible
damage. As noted above, a light touch is sufficient.
To clean your CARDIO touch panel, we recommend using LCD cleanser that can be purchased at any
electronics store and a clean cloth. Get the cloth damp and then apply to the screen. Never splash the
screen and try to wipe out the liquid.
ATTENTION!: Never use windows or house cleanser with ammoniac and/or any others
commercial cleansers to clean the CARDIO screen. Also be caution to use a clean cloth
as tiny, hard particles trapped in the fibers can scratch the surface of your screen.

enables the user to directly control all of the basic functions that CARDIO manages. It also gives access
to the programming section.

each number entered. If the code utilized is not valid, the message “INVALID CODE OK” appears. Press
OK, then re-enter the valid code.
A beep indicates that the alarm system has been armed (except for the bypassed zones). Exit the house
within the time delay pre-programmed during installation.
To disarm the alarm system (a beep sounds for the duration of the entrance time delay) enter a valid
access code. Another beep will sound and the message “SECURITY DISARMED” shows that the alarm
system has been disarmed.
To disarm the alarm system, CARDIO automatically brings up the keypad shown on page 6, and waits for
the valid access code to be entered. If the code is invalid, the message “CODE INVALID OK” appears.
Press anywhere on the screen and re-enter the correct code.
NOTE:It is strongly recommended to test the correct operation of the security system on a regular
basis.

How to add new data to an already programmed scene
Press
The new screen which appears is identical to the main screen shown on page 4 except for the pictogram
now appearing in the upper section of the screen. This sign indicates that CARDIO is now in recording
mode and no longer in ‘direct control ‘ mode.
From this screen, it is possible to program data relative to lighting, alarm system, heating/cooling,
electrical outlets and functions (PROG functions yes-no)
NOTE: If a scene includes alarm system commands, it will ask for an access code to be entered (except
when using the quick arm code). At this time, if no code is entered, CARDIO will execute all commands
programmed in this particular scene except those related to the alarm system.
ATTENTION!: When arming the alarm system only, it is possible to skip this step (entering an
access code) if the access code entered while programming the scene was the ‘quick arm code ‘
(easy exit) see p.37. In this case only, when calling up this particular scene, commands will be
executed instantly without asking for an access code to be entered.
After a function has been programmed, press EXIT to return to the above screen and then press any
other function to be recorded (alarm, etc.)
Once all data has been entered, press
