zones to providetotalflexibilitywithrespect tothe areas you wish tobe
covered.
5. Entry/ExitTimeDelay
The system allows youto select the length of time that you require in order to
leave the home after 'arming' the system as well asthe time you require to
enter the home and 'disarm1 the system. In addition, youcan determine
whichdetectors you wish tobe controlled by these delays, as distinct from
the detectorsthat you wish tobe left programmed on 'instant'.
6. AutomaticMode
While the system is normally 'armed* and 'disarmed* by entering a code at
either the MasterPanel orthe Push Button Keypad, the system canbe
programmed to automaticallyturnitself ONandOFFat pre-set timeseach
day.
7. TelephoneDialler
The optional TelephoneDialler canbe programmed to ring upto three (3)
telephone numbersafteractivation ofan alarm. The system will make six(6)

(iv) ZONING
(a) General
The detectors canbe connected toanyoneofthe4 alternative
connectionpoints atthe rear ofthe controlpanel.Thesefour
alternativeconnectionpoints are called 'stations' andare
numbered 1,2,3 and4.
The detector or detectorsconnected to each oneof these
'stations' canbe programmedinto oneorallofthe4 alternative
zonesdisplayed onthe front ofthe controlpanel.
We wouldsuggestthat all detectorsshould be included in Zone
1and that this Zone is thenusedwhen you require the whole
house tobe 'armed'.
The remainingzones canbe used in circumstances in which
you wish to havepart ofthe home 'armed' whileotherparts of
the home are 'disarmed', (e.g. At night youmay wish to have the
bedroomarea 'disarmed' while the living areas are 'armed'.)
You can selectwhichdetector [or groups of detectors] are
included inthe variouszones.
(b) Pre-Programmlng
The control panel has initially beenprogrammedsuchthat all
stations [groups of detectors] areset into Zone 1 and Zone 1is
activated.
(c) Programming
In view ofthe factthat the system has automaticallybeen
programmed as above, it will be necessary to removefrom
Zone 1 any stationsthat arenot connected to detectors. Unless
thesestations are removed from Zone 1, an alarm condition will
result. To removefromZone 1 the stationsthat arenot
connected toa detector, proceed as follows:
1. EnterAccessCode.(Display will show 'GO'.}

of 45 seconds will allow 45 seconds in which to leave the home
without causing an alarm. In addition, youcan selectwhich
stations[groups of detectorsl you wouldlike tobe covered by
the entry/exit delay(entry/exitdelaypath) as distinct from
those stations|groups of detectors] that you wouldprefer tobe
on 'instant', i.e. No delay.
(b) Pre-Programming
The system has initially beenprogrammed to provide you with
a 20 secondentrydelay anda 20 secondexitdelay andin
addition, all stations[detectors] have beenprogrammed tobe
covered by theseentry/exitdelays.
