5.7 Restoring an Alarm Activation (Alert)
Alert conditions on the intrusion control system are indicated on the Keypad by a
flashing yellow Alert LED and by activation of the buzzer. The Keypad indicates the
location and nature of the alert condition. The ability of a user to restore alerts
depends on the security grade setting of the system (in accordance with standards
[1]). An alert condition can only be restored once the fault or zone that caused the
alert has been physically reset to its normal operating state; e.g. an open zone has
been closed again or a severed X-BUS connection re-established.
Users may be restricted from using the Restore feature if an Engineer chooses not
to select ‘Restore’ within the User Rights menu for select users. Users who cannot
restore an alert receive fault messages on the Keypad until the zone or fault
condition is either inhibited or isolated.
Alarm conditions on the SPC system are indicated on the Keypad by a flashing
yellow Alert LED (see Section Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden., Using the Keypad) and by activation of the buzzer. The Keypad displays
the location and nature of the alert
condition.
To restore an alert condition triggered by a
zone opening:
1. Locate the open zone (displays on
the Keypad) and restore the alarm
sensor to its normal state by closing
the door or window.
2. Enter a valid user code and select the
RESTORE option (right soft key). The
zone causing the alert displays on the
top line.
3. Press the right menu key to restore
the alert. The message ALL ALERTS
RESTORED displays and the
flashing Alert LED turns off.
For system or communications type alert
conditions (Mains failure or X-BUS disconnect), locate the source of the alert
condition and check that all wires and cables are properly connected.
For a tamper alert, ensure the lids on all enclosures and devices are correctly
closed. If the physical fault cannot be restored to its normal operating state, contact
the installation engineer. The alarm system still operates by either inhibiting or
isolating the fault condition.
NOTE
An Alert condition only displays on the Keypad when the system is UNSET. If the system is SET when
an alert condition occurs, the Keypad gives no indication of that alert condition until such time as the
system is UNSET.

5.8 Coded Restore
The coded restore option is only available if the Security Grade of the system is set
to Grade 3 or Engineer Configure. It provides the user with the ability to restore
alert conditions that would normally only be available to the installation engineer.
To provide the user with this ability, it is necessary to protect this feature with a
code.
To perform a coded restore on the system:
1. Ensure that the zone or fault that caused the alert condition has been
physically restored to its normal operating state.
2. Contact the installer or the alarm receiving centre (ARC) before entering user
programming and selecting the coded restore feature in the menus option.
(Contact details should be available from the drop down label beneath the
Keypad.)
3. Press SELECT on the Coded Restore option. A 6-digit reset code displays on
the top line.
4. Provide 6-digit code to installer/ARC.
5. Receive newly generated code from installer/ARC.

5.10 Using a Portable ACE
If a PACE reader is installed and configured on the SPC Keypad, it is functional
only with users of PACE-configured profiles.
If a Limited User’s profile is configured for such device and functionality, once
presented within 1cm of the Keypad’s receiver area, the PACE enables setting and
unsetting denoted by the usual set/unset beeps.
If Manager and/or Standard Users’ profiles are configured for such device and
functionality, access to keypad is allowed using the PACE. Presentation of the
device within 1cm of the Keypad’s receiver area logs in the user and prompts
menu options.
For additional security measures, engineers have the option to set the PACE
configurations to PIN and PACE. This prompts and requires user code following
presentation of the PACE.
5.11 Using X10 Features
X10 is a technology that allows peripheral devices, such as lights, heaters, or
appliances, to be controlled by the system and system events can be used to
trigger outputs on the X10 devices. For example, a hall light could be configured to
turn on when the front door of the house is opened. Alternatively, the function can
be controlled directly at the Keypad.
X10 settings are programmed by the installation engineer and users are informed
of the settings and the corresponding keys on the Keypad that the settings are
assigned to.
To turn an X10 feature on, press the hash (#) key and the feature number. The
corresponding device turns on. To turn an X10 feature off, repeat the same
keystrokes. The corresponding device turns off. The installation engineer can fill in
the following table for quick reference.
