1. About the Alarm System
Introduction
This section of the manual titled ‘About the Alarm System’
is a thorough explanation of general system concepts and
how the alarm system works.
The next section of this manual titled ‘Operating the Alarm
System’ explains how the alarm system operates and
instructs on how to arm, disarm and omit zones.
The following section of the manual, titled ‘The User Menu’
is reserved for more detailed system information like
programming User codes and viewing the Event Log etc.
Overview
The alarm system consists of a control panel, one or more
keypads and various detectors and sensors. The control
panel will normally be mounted out of sight in a utility room
or basement etc. The control panel houses the system’s
electronics and stand-by battery. There is normally no
reason for anyone except an installer or service person to
have access to the control panel.
The keypad is used to send commands to the system and
to display the current system status via the English text
display. The keypad also provides audible feedback each
time a key is pressed. Each keypad will be mounted in a
convenient location inside the protected premises, near
the designated points of entry/exit.
User Codes
Users of the alarm system will be assigned a unique 4, 5 or
6 digit User code. User codes are used to arm and disarm
areas to which they are assigned. Some User codes can
also access additional options such as, system tests and
omitting zones.
The User code may not allow access to certain system
functions. For instance, if the code is only allowed to arm
and disarm area A, it will not be able to arm or disarm
other areas, or the entire system.
Most User codes can arm and disarm areas assigned to them
from any keypad on the system. However, Local Users will
only beable to arm and disarm areas assigned to them, from
keypads assigned to the same areas.
Zones
A ‘zone’ is part of the protected premises and may consist
of one or more detection devices protecting rooms and
points of entry/exit, (e.g. front door, kitchen, downstairs
windows, upstairs bedrooms, etc.). When the alarm
system is fully armed, all of the zones on the system are
monitored
Some zones may belong to more than one area, such as
points of entry/exit i.e. the front door and the hallway.
These are called global zones because they are assigned
to multiple areas.
Global Zones
A zone that is assigned to more than one area will only be
monitored when all of the areas it is assigned to are
armed.

Areas
An ‘area’ is a group of one or more zones and would
normally be used to split the premises into different
sections. Each area can be either ‘Full’ armed or ‘Part’
armed.
Example 1: Domestic Premises
The upstairs of a house could be area A, the downstairs
could be area B and the garage could be area C.
Each area can be ‘Full’ armed independently from each
other (all detection devices in the area monitored). For
instance, downstairs and the garage in example 1 (areas B
& C) could be armed at night allowing access to the
upstairs of the house (area A).
!All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 2: Domestic Premises
The entire house could be area A.
Each area can be ‘Part’ armed. For instance, detection
devices upstairs, i.e. PIR’s, could be programmed so that
they will not be monitored during a ‘Part’ arm, allowing
access to the upstairs of the house at night.
!All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 3: Commercial Premises
Office 1 in an office block could be area A, office 2 could
be area B and office 3 could be area C.
Each area can be armed and disarmed independently from
each other. For instance, any of the offices in example 2
above could be armed and disarmed to allow access
without affecting the other offices.
!All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
Example 1: Office Block
The foyer of the office block in example 3 would need to
be armed when the last office is armed and disarmed
when the first office is disarmed.
Because the foyer is a global area (used by everyone) the
zones in that area need to be assigned to areas A, B and
C. This ensures that the zone is only recognised by the
system when ALL areas (A, B & C) are armed, allowing
access to the foyer even if one of the areas is still armed.
Monitoring
This alarm system is capable of reporting Intruder alarms,
Panic alarms, Fire alarms and other types of information
over telephone lines to an Alarm Receiving Centre. If you
accidentally set the alarm off, call the Alarm Receiving
Centre immediately to prevent an unnecessary response.
!The monitoring function must be enabled before it
will work.

Keypads
One or more keypads will be installed throughout the
protected premises, usually one at each entry/exit door.
The keypads are used to perform all of the system
functions i.e. Arming, Disarming etc.

2. Using the Alarm System
Introduction
All users of the alarm system should read sections 2, 3 and
4 carefully so as to familiarise themselves with the
operation of the alarm system.
The operation of the system is divided up into two
sections, the Arming menu and the User menu.
To access either menu, enter a valid User code
....
........
.... (if a mistake is made whilst entering a
User code, simply re-enter the correct code).
!The control panel may have been programmed so
that too many incorrect code entries will cause a
Tamper alarm or lock the keypad out for 5 minutes.
Once in the Arming menu, various functions can be
selected by using the )key. Once a function has been
selected, press #
##
#to access that function.
Whilst in the Arming menu, the User menu can be selected
by pressing /.
Once in the User menu, various options can be selected
by using the )key. Once an option has been selected,
press #
##
#to access that option.
To exit from either menu press the (
((
(key and the
system will return to normal.
The diagram to the right shows both menus and all the
functions and options available.
!Not all functions and options are available to all users. If
a function or option cannot be selected, it may be
that it is not assigned to that user (see page 31 for
details).

3. The Arming Menu
Introduction
The normal day-to-day operations of the system are
carried out using the Arming menu i.e. arming, disarming,
omitting zones etc.
!Not all functions are available to all users. If a function
cannot be selected, it may be that it is not assigned
to that user (see page 31 for details).
The table below shows the various functions available:

Press (
((
(, to exit the menu and return to normal.
!If no keys are pressed, the display will return to
normal after 8 seconds.
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 display will
show the zones that are active.
The display will look something like this:
F"(.-#N +.R.() 1( L
IZ[M#-) '+)#'+ .6
F"(.#557#*>)1R.
U.<+"",#;1(<"&
!Active zones that will be secured during exit (e.g.
entry zones, like the front door) can be ignored, all
other zones should be secured.
To continue arming with a zone active, press #
##
#.
The internal sounders will bleep repeatedly (fault tone) and
the display will show the zones that are active.
The display will look something like this:
F"(.#55 3#*>)1 R .
?+"()#<""+
!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 15
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
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
13 for details on clearing an Arm Fail).
The Ready LED
To help prevent faults during arming, a Ready light has
been provided. The Ready light works as follows:
•If the Ready light is on steady then all zones are
secure and the system is ready to be armed
•If the Ready light is flashing then the system has
zones (with the ‘Force Omit’ attribute) that are active,
check these zones before proceeding
•If the Ready light is off then one or more zones are
active, either secure or omit these zones before
proceeding

Arming and Disarming the System
The system is Armed, when ALL areas that are controlled
by the User code, have been armed with ALL zones ON
(not omitted).
The system is Part Armed, when ALL areas that are
controlled by the User code have been armed with SOME
zones OFF (omitted) or SOME areas controlled by the
User code have not been armed.
!The system is only Part Armed when zones are
omitted using the ‘Part Arm 1, 2 or 3’ procedure.
Omitting zones manually (see page 15 for details) is
not classed as Part Arming.

View the Event Log
The control panel has two Event Logs, which are time and
date stamped. The first log which is a system log, records
all events that occur on the system, i.e. Users entering their
codes to arm or disarm areas, alarm events, failures to arm
etc. and the second log which is an alarm log, only records
alarm events that occur on the system.
Users with access to this option can view the Event Log to
see what events occurred on the system and when they
occurred.
When viewing the system log there are 8 hotkeys available.
These hotkeys allow certain events to be found easier
without the need for searching (see page 22 for details).
