Overview
Introduction
Users of the alarm system will be assigned a unique 4, 5 or 6 digit User code, and may be assigned a Proximity Tag.
User codes are used to arm and disarm the system. Some User codes can also access additional options such as,
system tests and omitting zones.
Keypads will be installed throughout the premises, usually one at each entry/exit door. The keypads are used to
perform all of the system operations i.e. Arming, Disarming etc. Most User codes can be used at any keypad on the
system. However, Local Users will only be able to use certain keypads on the system.

Zone Faults During Arming
Before attempting to arm the system, ensure that the premises are secure (all doors and windows closed etc.) and
the Ready light is on.
If an attempt is made to arm the system with any zones active (e.g. door ajar, open window, etc.) the internal
sounders will bleep repeatedly (fault tone) and the display will show the zones that are active.
The fault tone will stop and the exit tone will resume when all zones are secure. If it is necessary to leave a zone
open then it must be omitted (see page 6 for details).
If an active zone cannot be secured then it may be ‘in fault’, in this case contact the alarm company immediately.
Arm Fail - Failing to Arm
If the exit procedure is started and zones are still ‘Active’ at the end of the exit procedure, an Internal alarm will occur
(internal sounders only) and the strobe light on the external sounder will flash.
If this occurs the arm fail must be cleared and the zone in fault identified before the system can be armed (see page 4 for
details on clearing an Arm Fail).
The Ready LED
To help prevent faults during arming a Ready light has been provided, see table above for details on how the Ready
LED operates.
