MESSAGE TO THE INSTALLER
The PowerMaxPro control panel is supplied with 2 instruction manuals:
Installer Guide (this manual - for your exclusive use)
User’s Guide (for your use during installation only - Must be handed over to the master user after testing the system).
Appendices A.1 and A.2 will help you prepare an installation plan. Please take time to fill out the forms - your job will
become much easier and confusion will be prevented. Filling out the forms will also help you create a list of detectors and
transmitters that must be obtained for the particular application. Compatible detectors and transmitters are listed and
described briefly in Appendix E.
Remember - it is advisable to power up the control panel temporarily after unpacking and program it on the work bench, in
accordance with the installation plan.
The programming flow charts in the programming section show all options available for each parameter. Factory defaults
are marked with a dark box to their right, and other options (that can be selected instead) are marked by clear boxes. This
method allows you to put a checkmark in the appropriate clear box whenever you deviate from the factory defaults.
Most of the programming section paragraph numbers correlate with the programming menu numbers. For example,
paragraph 4.4.19 describes the "Jam detect", that exists in menu 4 (define panel), sub-menu 19 (Jam detect).
Although setting the correct time and date is one of the user tasks, we recommend that you set the time and date in the
course of programming. Access to the “User Settings” for the installer is possible through item 10 on the installer‘s menu or
through the user menu (see User’s manual section 7).
After programming, proceed to install the system as detailed in the Installation Instructions, from paragraph 3.4 onward.
The installer should verify line seizure. Be aware of other phone line services such as DSL. If DSL service is present
on the phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to use the DSL alarm filter model Z-A431PJ31X
manufactured by Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows
alarm reporting without breaking the internet connection. If the user has a Voice over IP phone system only, the
control panel will not be able to communicate with the central station via the PSTN telephone line. In this case, the
user will either need to install an additional telephone line, or connect a GSM module.

1. INTRODUCTION
The PowerMaxPro is a user and installer-friendly, 30-zone
fully-supervised wireless control system. The system is
designed to function in a way that appeals to the user but
also offers features that make installers’ life easier than
ever before.
The PowerMaxPro includes an optional partition feature.
Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently
controllable areas with different user codes assigned to each
partition or one user code assigned to a combination of up to
3 partitions. Partitions can be armed or disarmed individually
or altogether in one operation. For example, you can define
the garage as partition 1, the basement as partition 2 and the
house as partition 3. Since each partition is independent of
other partitions, you can arm or disarm each partition as
desired without altering the states of the other partitions.
EASY TO INSTALL

3.5.2 Zones and Sirens Wiring
Figure 3.1c –Zones and Sirens Wiring
Notes:
* Zone 29/GND and Zone 30/GND terminals can be
connected to a normally closed contact of a detector,
switch (for example a Tamper switch of any device),
or a pushbutton, via a 2.2 K  resistor. The 12V
terminal can be used to supply 12V (up to 450mA)
to wired detectors (if necessary).
** Both +12V terminals are identical (shorted together).
The EXT terminal can be used to trigger an external
siren.
The INT terminal can be programmed for an "internal
siren" or "strobe" (see DEFINE OUTPUTS - DEFINE
INT/STRB in par. 4.8).
The +12V and "GND" terminals can be connected to a
siren (for constant DC power supply) –not
applicable in North America.
IMPORTANT! Total PowerMaxPro output current (of INT &
EXT sirens, PGM output and detectors) cannot exceed 550
mA.
3.5.3 Installing an Optional X-10 Siren
If you need a “wireless” external siren, you may install an
X-10 siren module which is triggered by a signal transmitted
via the built-in electrical wiring of the protected site. This
siren can replace the regular external siren or complement
it without laying out additional wires. Of course, such a siren
can be used only in conjunction with an optional power-line
interface module.
The X-10 siren is ready to function upon connection to an
electrical power outlet, without re-programming the
PowerMaxPro. You only have to set the HOUSE CODE and
the UNIT CODE selectors on the X-10 siren as follows:
House Code: Set this selector to the letter that follows, by
alphabetical order, the letter that you programmed as a
house code for the protected premises. For example, if the
programmed house code is “J”, set the siren house code
selector to “K”.
Note: If the programmed house code letter is “P” (which is
the last programmable letter), select “A” for the siren.
Unit Code: The siren will function only if you set the unit
code selector to “1”.

3.5.4 Dual RS-232 Module Mounting
The control panel can be equipped with an optional dual
RS-232 module for serial data interchange with a local
computer (see Figure 3.1d). The dual RS-232 module
permits any two simultaneous device connections such as:
internal PowerLink, Local PC programming, and External
GSM module.
WARNING! When an Internal GSM module is connected,
the CELL/PC port of the Dual RS-232 module cannot be
used for PC connection. In this case, either remove the
Internal GSM or use the PL/PC connector.

4. PROGRAMMING
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature (in a
PowerMaxPro Partition system) that can divide your alarm
system into three distinct areas identified as Partition 1
through 3. Partitioning can be used in installations where
shared security systems are more practical, such as a
home office or warehouse building. When partitioned, each
zone, each user code and many of your system's features
can be assigned to Partition 1 to 3.
Note: When partition is disabled, all zones, user codes, and
features of the PowerMaxPro will operate as in a regular
unit. When partition is enabled, all zones, user codes, and
features of the PowerMaxPro are automatically assigned to
Partition 1.
4.1.1 General Guidance
We recommend to program the PowerMaxPro on the work
bench before actual installation. Operating power may be
obtained fromthe backup battery or fromthe AC power supply.
The installer’s menu is accessible only to those who know
the installer’s 4-digit code, which is 9999 by factory default.
Note: Access to the installer menu, in PowerMaxPro that
has "User Permission" enabled (for example in UK) is
accessible only at the end of the user menu. This option
can be changed if necessary (see par. 4.4.36).
For PowerMaxPro that has 2 installer codes, the default
MASTER INSTALLER code is 9999 and the default
INSTALLER code is 8888.
The following actions can be done only by using the
master installer code:
Changing master installer code.
Resetting the PowerMaxPro parameters to the default
parameters,
Defining specific communication parameters, as
detailed in a note in Figure 4.5.
Obviously, you are expected to use this code only once for
gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret code
known only to yourself.
You will mainly use 5 control pushbuttons during the entire
programming process:
- to move one step forward in a menu.
- to move one step backward in a menu.
-to enter the relevant menu or confirm data.
- to move one level up in a menu.
- to return to the "OK TO EXIT" state.
The sounds you will hear while programming are:
- Single beep, heard whenever a key is pressed.
- Double beep, indicates automatic return to the
normal operating mode (by timeout).
-Happy Melody (- - - –––), indicates successful
completion of an operation.
-Sad Melody (–––––), indicates a wrong move
or rejection.
4.1.2 Entering an Invalid Installer Code
If you enter an invalid installer code 5 times, the keypad
will be automatically disabled for a pre-defined period of
time and the message WRONG PASSWORD will be
displayed.
4.1.3 Installer’s Menu
The installer's menu is shown in Figure 4.1a. The text in
rectangles represents the current PowerMaxPro display.
4.1.4 Setting a New Installer Code
To set an installer code, perform the actions that are
presented in Figure 4.1b. When you are instructed to enter
code, enter a 4-digit code.
4.1.5 Setting a New Installer Code in
PowerMaxPro that has 2 Installer
Codes
For PowerMaxPro with 2 installer codes, MASTER
INSTALLER code (default 9999) and INSTALLER code
(default 8888), set new codes as shown in figure 4.1c.
For details regarding the different authorization levels
when logging in with installer code and master installer
code, refer to the note inside Figure 4.5 (DEFINE COMM).
By using the master installer code, the menu enables
changing both master installer code and installer code. By
using the installer code, the menu enables changing the
installer code only.
(*) Applicable only when "USER PERMIT" function is enabled
(see par. 4.4.36 - USER PERMIT).

4.2 ENROLLING WIRELESS SENSORS AND KEYFOB TRANSMITTERS
4.2.1 General Guidance
The ENROLLING mode has the following sub-modes:
ENROLLING TYPE (wireless sensors)
ENROLL SENSORS (enroll wired magnetic contact or
any other contact in zones 29 & 30 / enroll wireless
detectors in zones 01-28).
ENROLL KEYFOB (multi-button CodeSecure
transmitters)
ENROLL WL 1WAY KP (wireless commander MCM-140+)
ENROLL WL LCD KP (wireless 2-way keypad
MKP-150/151/152 or wireless 2-way keyprox MKP-160)
ENROLL WL SIREN (wireless siren)
ENROLL PROX TAG (proximity tag)
Before beginning, gather all the sensors that you intend to
enroll and make sure they all have batteries installed.
Your control panel must recognize the unique identification
code (ID) of each such sensor in order to supervise them,
receive their signals and respond accordingly.
Attention! CodeSecure transmitters are mainly used for
arming/disarming and can not be enrolled to zones. For
enrolling to zones, use only non-CodeSecure
wireless sensors.
4.2.2 Enrolling Type
Here you determine whether to enroll a wireless sensor by
normal transmission or by sensor Tamper function
(opening its cover). Options: normal, or by tamper.
4.2.3 Enroll/Delete Sensors
Wired and wireless sensors can be enrolled into the
PowerMaxPro. To enroll / delete sensors, refer to Figure 4.2.
STOP
Before enrolling, the lens at the front of PIR
and dual-technology sensors should be
masked to prevent inadvertent transmission.
Make sure that magnetic contact transmitters are
together with their magnets, to prevent them from
sending out alarm transmissions.
4.2.4 Enroll/Delete Keyfob Transmitters
Keyfob transmitters are multi-button wireless CodeSecure™
transmitters. Eight system users use them for better,
quicker and safer control over various system functions.
To enroll / delete 1-way or 2-way keyfob transmitters, refer
to Figure 4.2.
4.2.5 Enroll/Delete Wireless Commander
The Wireless Commander (MCM-140+) is a remote control
unit that enables the user to remotely control the system.
To enroll / delete up to 8 wireless commanders, refer to
Figure 4.2 (Enroll WL 1-way KP).
4.2.6 Enroll/Delete 2-Way Keypad /
Keyprox
The 2-way keypad, type MKP-150/151/MKP-152, or 2-way
keyprox, type MKP-160, enables the user to remotely
control the system and also to receive data from the
system (status, alarm and trouble data). To enroll up to two
2-way keypads, refer to Figure 4.2.
4.2.7 Enroll/Delete Wireless Siren
The wireless siren is a remote siren that is activated upon
predefined events by the PowerMaxPro system. To enroll /
delete up to 2 wireless sirens, refer to Figure 4.2.
4.2.8 Enroll/Delete Proximity Tags
Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted
areas. Presenting valid proximity tag, while the system is
armed, causes the system to disarm. Presenting valid
proximity tag, while the system is disarmed, causes the
system to be armed in AWAY (optional HOME) mode. To
enroll / delete proximity tags, refer to Figure 4.2.
Note: Proximity tags are used on control panels with
installed Proximity readers (not standard on UK versions).

12 D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide
Figure 4.2 - Enrolling / Deleting Wireless Sensors / Keyfobs / Wireless Commanders / Wireless Sirens
* Keyfob & proximity tags enrolling can be performed by
the installer or by the user (via USER SETTINGS
menu).
** Black box in the display means that a device is
enrolled (the system has learned its ID). No black
box indicates that the device is not enrolled.
*** Initiate either normal transmission or the sensor
tamper function (see ENROLLING TYPE, Par. 4.2.2).
Note: This changes the RF range during enrolling only
and does not affect the performance of the sensor.
**** Select "higher" sensitivity for far wireless sensor,
"lower" for near sensors.

D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide 13
4.3 DEFINING ZONE TYPES, NAMES, CHIME ZONES & PARTITION
This mode allows you to assign one of 15 zone types to
each of the system's 30 (wireless & wired) zones. You can
define zones as KEY ZONES, to enable arming/disarming
of the system by PowerCode transmitters (see appendix
D14). In addition, it also allows you to assign a name and
partition number (up to three) to each zone and determine
whether the zone will operate as a chime zone. When a
chime zone is triggered, chime melody or zone name is
heard (there are 3 selectable chime modes - Melody chime,
Zone Name Chime or Chime Off).
A list of factory defaults is printed in table 1. You may fill
out the blank columns even before you start and proceed
to program according to your own list.
Remember!
A delay zone is also a perimeter zone by definition.
Zone types are fully explained in Appendix D.
Note: Custom Zone Name text can be changed through
the DEFINE VOICE menu.
Figure 4.3 - DEFINE ZONES Flow Chart
* The currently saved option is displayed with a dark box at the right side. To review the options, repeatedly click
or button, until the desired option is displayed, then click (a dark box will be displayed
at the right side).
** Key ON/OFF is an optional function that enables you to arm or disarm the system via zones 21-28, 29 or 21-29, provided
that "non-alarm" was pre-defined for these zones.

14 D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide
Before enabling Key Zones, the following procedures must be performed:
1. Go to the "2. ENROLLING" menu and enroll the transmitter (for further instructions, see section 4.2).
2. Go to the "4. DEFINE PANEL" menu and enter the "39. KEY ZONES OPT" sub-menu. Then, select the desired Key Zone
option. After making your selection, press the button on the keypad (for further instructions, see section 4.4).
*** Available and enabled only by customer request.
**** Zone Type Definitions:
Inter-follow –a zone that is located between entry/exit zone and the alarm system control panel
Perimeter –a zone that relies on detectors to protect doors, windows and walls
Perim-follow –a non-entry/exit zone
Delay 1/2 –a zone that has programmable exit and entry delays
24h silent –a zone that initiates a silent alarm (the sirens do not function)
24h audible –a zone that initiates a siren alarm
Fire –a zone that uses smoke detectors and is permanently active
Non-alarm –used mainly to perform auxiliary remote control tasks such as opening/closing a gate, activating/deactivating
courtesy light, etc.
Emergency –used to send an emergency call to the central station or to private telephones
Gas –a zone thatdetects a gas leak and is permanentlyactive
Flood –a zone that detects a flooad leak and is permanently active
Interior –a zone that allows free movement within the protected area without initiating an alarm (when armed HOME)
Temperature –a zone used to detect both indoor and outdoor temperatures and is permanently active
Home/Delay –a zone type which functions as a delay zone when the system is armed HOME and as a perimeter-
follower zone when the system is armed AWAY
Guard –a zone that functions like a 24-hour audible zone, except that following a short time period after an alarm, the
alarm is disabled (to allow access to a metal safe by a Guard)
Outdoor –a zone for outdoor areas where an activated alarm does not indicate intrusion into the house
For a detailed explanation of the Zone Types, refer to Appendix E.
4.4 DEFINING CONTROL PANEL PARAMETERS
4.4.1 Preliminary Guidance
This mode allows you to customize the control panel and
adapt its characteristics and behavior to the requirements
of the particular user. An illustrated process is shown in
Figure 4.4. In this illustration, each selected option is
displayed with a dark box at the right side. To review the
options, repeatedly click or button, until
the desired option is displayed, then click SHOW/OK
button.
4.4.2 Entry Delays 1&2
(Fig. 4.4, location 01, 02). Two different entry delays allow
the user to enter the protected site (while the system is in
the armed state) via 2 specific doors and routes without
causing an alarm.
Following entry, the user must disarm the control panel
before the entry delay expires. Slow-rate warning beeps
start sounding once the door is opened, until the last 10
seconds of the delay, during which the beeping rate
increases. Locations No. 1 (entry delay 1) and 2 (entry
delay 2) allow you to program the length of these delays.
Available options for each delay are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s,
60s, 3m and 4m.
4.4.3 Exit Delay
(Fig. 4.4 location 03). An exit delay allows the user to arm
the system and leave the protected site via specific routes
and doors without causing an alarm. Slow-rate warning
beeps start sounding once the arming command has been
given, until the last 10 seconds of the delay, during which
the beeping rate increases. Location No. 3 allows
programming of the exit delay length. Available options
are: 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s, 3m, and 4m.
4.4.4 Bell Time
(Fig. 4.4, location 04). Here you select the length of time
the bell (or siren) is allowed to function upon alarm. The
bell time starts upon activation of the siren. Once the bell
time expires, the siren is automatically shut down.
Available options are: 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 15 and 20 minutes.
Note: Bell Time is defined for the entire alarm system and
not per partition.
4.4.5 Abort Time
(Fig. 4.4 location 05). Here you select the length of time
allowed by the system to abort an alarm (not applicable to
alarms from FIRE, 24H SILENT, EMERGENCY, GAS,
FLOOD and TEMPERATURE zones). The PowerMaxPro
is programmed to provide an “abort interval” that starts
upon detection of an event. During this interval, the buzzer
sounds a warning but the siren remains inactive and the
alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the system within
the allowed abort interval, the alarm is aborted.
Available options are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s, 2m, 3m
and 4m.
4.4.6 Alarm Cancel
(Fig. 4.4, location 06). Here you determine the ”cancel
alarm” period that starts upon reporting an alarm to the
central station. If the user disarms the system within that
time period, a “cancel alarm” message is sent to the
central station.
Available options are: 1, 5, 15, 60 minutes, 4hours and
also cancel inactive.
4.4.7 Quick Arm
(Fig. 4.4, location 07). Here you determine whether the
user will be allowed to perform quick arming or not. Once
quick arming is permitted, the control panel does not
request a user code before it arms the system.
The two options are: quick arm ON and quick arm OFF.

D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide 15
4.4.8 Bypass
(Fig. 4.4, location 08). Here you permit either manual
bypassing of individual zones (through the USER
SETTINGS menu), or allow the system to "force arm"
(perform automatic bypassing) of open zones during the
exit delay. If desired, press the arming key again if you want
to eliminate the protest tone that sounds during forced
arming. If a zone is open and forced arming is not
permitted, “NOT READY” is displayed and the system does
not arm (the “Sad Melody” will sound). If "no bypass" is
selected, neither manual bypassing nor force arming is
allowed.
Options: manual bypass, force arm and no bypass.
Note: Force arm is not applicable in the UK.
4.4.9 Exit Mode
(Fig. 4.4, location 09). Here you determine exit mode
options. Three types of exit modes are available:
Restart Exit - Exit delay restarts when the door is
reopened during exit delay. The restart occurs once only.
Restarting the exit delay is helpful if the user re-enters
immediately after going out to retrieve an item that he left
behind.
Off by door - When the door is closed, the exit delay is
automatically terminated (even if the defined exit delay
was not completed).
Normal - The exit delay is exactly as defined, regardless
of whether the door is open or closed.
4.4.10 Piezo Beeps
(Fig. 4.4, location 10). Here you determine whether
warning beeps will sound or muted during exit and entry
delays. Additional options enable muting only the warning
beeps when the system is armed “HOME” or "AWAY". In
addition, during arming home the system arms in silence,
however, once armed, triggering a delay zone will activate
the entry beeps prompting the user to disarm the system.
Options (Partition disabled): enable beeps, off when home,
disable beeps, and off exit home.
Options (Partition enabled): (enable beeps), H(off when
home) and (disable beeps) and h (off exit home). The
pushbuttons , , and provide selection of
the corresponding partitions. Pressing each button
repeatedly will toggle between each option.
Note: When exit beeps are disabled toward the end of a
delay, the happy (success) melody will sound.
4.4.11 Trouble Beeps
(Fig. 4.4, location 11). Under trouble conditions, the
sounder emits a series of 3 short beeps once per minute.
Here you determine whether this special beeping
sequence will be active, inactive, or just inactive at night
(the range of “night” hours is defined in the factory). The 3
options are: enable beeps, off at night (8 PM through 7
AM) and disable beeps.
4.4.12 Panic Alarm
(Fig. 4.4, location 12). Here you determine whether the
user will be allowed to initiate a panic alarm by
simultaneous pressing either the two panic buttons (on the
keypad / wireless commander) or away + home (on a
keyfob transmitter). Audible panic activates the siren and
simultaneously transmits a message via telephone. Silent
panic only transmits a message via telephone. The options
are: silent panic, audible panic and disable panic.
4.4.13 Swinger Stop
(Fig. 4.4, location 13). Here you determine the number of
times each zone is allowed to initiate an alarm within a
single arming period (including tamper & power failure
events of detectors, PowerMaxPro, wireless siren, etc.). If
the alarms number from a specific zone exceeds the
programmed number, the control panel automatically
bypasses the zone to prevent recurrent siren noise and
nuisance reporting to the central station. The zone will be
reactivated upon disarming, or 48 hours after having been
bypassed (if the system remains armed).
Available options are: shut after 1, shut after 2, shut
after 3 and no shutdown.
Note: Swinger Stop is defined for the entire alarm system
and not per partition.
4.4.14 Cross Zoning
(Fig. 4.4, location 14). Here you determine whether cross
zoning will be active or inactive. Cross zoning is a method
used to counteract false alarms - an alarm will not be
initiated unless two adjacent zones are violated within a
30-second time limit.
This feature is active only when arming AWAY and only
with zone couples from zone No. 18 to 27 (18 and 19, 20
and 21, etc.). You may use any one of these zone couples
to create a “cross-zoned” area.
Note: If one of two crossed zones is bypassed (see Para.
4.4.8), the remaining zone will function independently.
Note: Every 2 crossed zones must be of the allowed zone
type (Interior, Perimeter, Perimeter follower).
The options are: cross zone ON and cross zone OFF.
Note: A common zone should not be defined as a cross
zone.
Cross zoning is not applicable in Entry/ Exit zones and
24h zones (Fire, Emergency, 24h audible, 24h silent).
4.4.15 Supervision
(Fig. 4.4, location 15). Here you determine the time limit for
reception of supervision reports from various supervised
wireless devices. If any device does not report at least
once within the selected time limit, an “INACTIVITY” alert
is initiated.
The options are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours and disable.
4.4.16 NOT READY
(Fig. 4.4, location 16). Here you determine if the system
will be in NOT READY status when there is a supervision
failure. In the "in supervision" mode, the system will be in
NOT READY status if during the last 20 minutes a
supervision message was not received. Options: normal
and in supervision.
4.4.17 AUX Button A
(Fig. 4.4, location 17). Here you select the function of the
AUX button/ button A on keyfob transmitters MCT-234,
MCT-237 and wireless commanders MCM-140+. Four
options are offered for each AUX button:
Status: Pressing the AUX button will cause the control
panel’s voice module to announce the system status.
Instant: Pressing the AUX button while the exit delay is in
progress will cause the system to arm “instant” (the entry
delay is canceled).
Skip exit delay: Pressing the AUX button will immediately
cause the system to arm “instant”.
PGM / X-10: Pressing the AUX button will activate the
PGM output or X-10 units (see further programming under
“DEFINE OUTPUTS”, par. 4.8).

16 D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide
4.4.18 AUX Button B 2-W-KF
(Fig. 4.4, loc. 18). Applicable only for 2-way keyfob
MCT-237. Same as 4.4.17 but for AUX button B.
4.4.19 Jam Detect
(Fig. 4.4, location 19). Here you determine whether
jamming (interfering transmissions, on the radio channel
used by the system) will be detected and reported or not.
If a jam detection option is selected, the system does not
allow arming under the relevant jamming conditions.
Jam Detection Options
Option
Detection and Reporting when
UL (20/20)
(USA standard)
There is continuous 20 seconds of
jamming
EN (30/60)
(Europe standard)
There is an accumulated 30 seconds of
jamming within 60 sec.
class 6 (30/60)
(British standard)
Like EN (30/60) but the event will be
reported only if the jamming duration
exceeds 5 minutes.
Disabled
(no jamming detection and reporting).
4.4.20 Latchkey
(Fig. 4.4, location 20). Here you determine whether the
system can be armed in the latchkey mode. If the system
is armed this way, a “latchkey” message will be sent to
specific telephones upon disarming by a “latchkey user”
(users 5-8 or keyfob transmitters 5-8). This mode is useful
when parents at work want to be informed of a child’s
return from school. You can record a name for latchkey
users. The options are: Latchkey ON and Latchkey OFF.
4.4.21 “Not Active”
(Fig. 4.4, location 21). Here you determine the time limit for
reception of signals from sensors used to monitor the
activity of sick, elderly or disabled people. If no sensor
detects and reports movement at least once within the
defined time limit, a “not-active” alert is initiated.
Options: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours and no act disable.
4.4.22 Back Light
(Fig. 4.4, location 22). Here you determine whether the
keypad back lighting will remain on at all times or will come
on when a key is pressed and go off within 10 seconds if
no further keystrokes are sensed.
The two options are: always on and off after 10 s.
4.4.23 Duress
(Fig. 4.4, loc. 23). A duress alarm (ambush) message can be
sent to the central station if the user is forced to disarm the
system under violence or menace. To initiate a duress
message, the user must disarm the system with the duress
code (2580 by default). Here you can change the code digits
or enter "0000" to disable the duress feature. The system
does not allow the user to program the duress code
saved in this memory location as an existing user code.

4.4.38 Battery Type
(Fig. 4.4, location 38). Here you determine which type of
battery pack is used, so that the system will supply proper
charge current.
Options: 7.2V or 9.6V.
4.4.39 Key Zones Options (Optional)
(Fig. 4.4, location 39). Here you determine whether or not
the system can be armed and disarmed by zones 21-28,
29-30 or 21-30, provided that for these zones "non-alarm
type" and "z-key enable" was predefined (see par. 4.3 and
Appendix D14).
Key zones can be wireless or wired zones.
When using wireless key zones, you can install and use
the following transmitters:
MCT-100
MCT-102
MCT-302
MCT-320
When using wireless key zones, only the MCT-100 and
MCT-102 transmitters are used. The right pushbutton on
the MCT-102 transmitter or input 2 of the MCT-100
transmitter is used for arming in AWAY mode. The left
pushbutton on the MCT-102 transmitter or input 1 of the
MCT-100 transmitter is used for disarming.
When using wired key zones an open circuit arms the
alarm system in AWAY mode and a closed circuit changes
the state of the alarm system from AWAY mode to Disarm.
(For information on how to connect to wired key zones,
see Fig. 3.1C Zones and Sirens Wiring.)
IMPORTANT! Enrolment of the MCT-100 or MCT-102
transmitter must be performed via the right pushbutton on
the MCT-102 transmitter or input 2 of the MCT-100
transmitter (see section 4.3).
If the area includes MCT-302 and MCT-320 transmitters, a
closed circuit (the magnet is placed near the transmitter)
arms the alarm system in AWAY mode and an open circuit
(the magnet is moved away from the transmitter) changes
the state from AWAY mode to DISARM.
Note: Key Zones does not comply with Belgium TO14A
and EN 50131-5-3.
Caution! Arming the system using a transmitter
assigned to zones 21 and 28, or via wired zones 29
and 30 compromises security. This function is,
therefore, only available in specific PowerMaxPro
versions according to the customer's request.
Options: disable option, z. 21-28 enable, z. 29-30 enable,
or z. 21-30 enable.

4.5 DEFINING COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
Preliminary Guidance
This mode allows you to adapt the telephone
communication parameters to the local requirements.
Note: Defining communications via GPRS is applicable to
PowerMaxPro versions 5.2.07 and above.
Compatible central station receivers are:
Osborne-Hoffman model 2000, Ademco Model 685,
FBII Model CP220, Radionics Model D6500, Sur-Gard
Model SG-MLR2-DG and Silent Knight Model 9500.
IMPORTANT: In telephone number locations and account
number locations, you may be required to enter
hexadecimal digits. In telephone number locations, these
digits are used as codes to control the dialer:
Hex.
Digit
Keying
Sequence
Code
Significance
A
<#>

<0>
Applicable only at the beginning of a
number - the dialer waits 10 seconds
or waits for dial tone, whichever
comes first and then dials.
D
<#>

<3>
Applicable only at the beginning of a
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds
for dial tone and goes on hook if none
is received.
E
<#>

<4>
Applicable only in the middle of the
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds
F
<#>

<5>
Not applicable in phone numbers
Note: A "+" can be entered at the beginning of the line by
pressing and then .
To enter a series of digits, use the following keys:
<Numeric keypad> - to enter the number
- moves the cursor from left to right
- moves the cursor from right to left
- deletes everything after the cursor (to the right).

Area Code [Fig 4.5.1(1)]
Here you enter the system tel. area code (up to 4 digits).
Line Prefix [Fig 4.5.1(2)]
Here you enter the number that is used as a prefix to
access an outside telephone line (if exists).
Dial Method [Fig 4.5.1(3)]
Here you determine the dialing method used by the
automatic dialer built into the PowerMaxPro control panel.
The options are: Pulse and tone (dtmf).
GSM Keep Alive [Fig 4.5.1(4)]
Here you prevent the GSM service provider from
disconnecting the GSM line if the user has not initiated any
outgoing telephone calls during the last 28 days.
The options are: disable and every 28 days.
Note: A test message is sent to the first available SMS
number. If this does not exist then it makes a call to the
first private number.
4.5.2 GPRS / BB (Fig. 4.5)
The GSM/GPRS module is capable of communicating with
the Central Station receiver by GPRS, GSM Voice and
SMS channels. Each of the channels can be separately
enabled or disabled in order to allow or prohibit the module
from using it for the event reporting. If all channels are
enabled, the GSM/GPRS module will always try GPRS
first. If fails, it will try GSM Voice. If fails, it will try any other
possible method (PSTN, Broadband) and only then it will
try SMS. This is due to the fact that SMS is the most
unreliable option of communication. Disabling any of the
GSM Module channels will cause the module to use a
different sequence than the one described above.
