Partitioning
Partitioning allows you to divide the system into three independently controllable areas with different users assigned to
each partition whereby each user can arm the partition to which they are assigned. For detailed information on
Partitioning, see APPENDIX B.
Screen Saver
For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the status indication (LCD and LED display) on the KP-250 PG2
keypad from a potential intruder.
When the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more than 10 seconds, the
display will turn off and the LEDs will stop indicating any status.
Pressing any key will resume the normal status display. Pressing the Fire, Emergency or Panic keys will also initiate the
Fire, Emergency or Panic alarm.
If configured by the installer for additional security, the system will ask you to enter your user code or to present your
proximity tag before resuming the normal display.
When partition is enabled, the installer can configure the system so that if no key is pressed during more than 30
seconds the date and time will appear on the display.
Proximity Tags
Your system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled to the system. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety
of functions without entering a user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc.
1. Whenever the user code is required, you can simply present a valid proximity tag and perform the desired operation
without the need to key-in your user code.
- OR -
2. When the system is disarmed and after presenting a valid proximity tag to the KP-250 PG2 keypad, the message
"<OK> for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press the button to immediately arm the system, or, press the
button once / twice – the message “<OK> for HOME” / “<OK> for disarm” is displayed – and then press the
button for HOME arming / disarming.1
Note: If you do not press the button (wait for 3 seconds), the system automatically arms AWAY and the display
will read "ARMING AWAY PLEASE EXIT NOW". Presenting the proximity tag once again will DISARM the system.
Users and Codes
Security codes are used mainly to arm and disarm the system or to access information that is restricted only to
authorized users (see Chapter 6, section B.4, Programming User Codes).
1In option 2, the KP-250 PG2 keypad will not operate (respond) if the KP-250 PG2 is assigned to two or more
partitions.

Once the progress indicator reaches 100%, RECORDING ENDED will be displayed.
When you release the button, the display will revert to the normal status-displaying mode, but will also indicate that a

Note: The message icon ( ) will also flash on the bottom of the display.
Message Playback
Message playback is performed by the control panel. To listen to a message left by another user of the system:
Click on the KP-250 PG2 keypad and listen. PLAY will be displayed and the message will be played back over the
PowerMaster loudspeaker or external voice box. When the playback ends, the display will revert to the normal status-
displaying mode.

Basic Arming and Disarming
Following are a set of procedures for performing basic arming and disarming of the alarm system.
Preparing to Arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.
HH:MM READY This indicates that all zones are secured and you may arm the system as desired.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will read:
HH:MM NOT READY This indicates that the system is not ready for arming and in most cases that one or more
zones are not secured. However, it can also mean that an unresolved condition exists
such as certain trouble conditions, jamming etc., depending on system configuration.
To review the open zones click on the KP-250 PG2 keypad. The details and location of the first open zone
detector (usually an open door or window sensor) will be displayed. To fix the open zone, locate the sensor and secure
it (close the door or window) – see "device locator" below. Each click of on the KP-250 PG2 keypad will display
another open zone or trouble indication. It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus restoring the system to
the state of “ready to arm”. If you do not know how to do this, consult your installer.
Note: To quit at any stage and to revert to the "READY" display, click on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.
Device Locator: The PowerMaster system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or troubled
devices indicated on the LCD display. While the LCD displays an open or faulty device, the LED on the respective
device flashes indicating "it's me". The "it's me" indication will appear on the device within max. 16 seconds and will
last for as long as the LCD displays the device.
Arming ‘AWAY' / ‘HOME'
If the system is READY and/or Forced Arming is enabled proceed as shown below. For more information on Forced
Arming, see "Forced Arming AWAY or HOME" below.
If the system is NOT READY and Forced Arming is not permitted, review any open zone detectors to locate and secure
them.
If you want to arm using partitions, see "Partition Selection Process" and then proceed as shown below.
If the user has changed the state of the system from a high security mode to a lower security mode i.e. from ARM to
DISARM, or from AWAY to HOME, he will be prompted to enter the user code or to present his proximity tag thus
bypassing the QUICK ARM option.

ARM indicator on both the KP-250 PG2 keypad and PowerMaster panel lights steadily during the armed state.
Disarming and Stopping Alarm
Enter the protected premises via a delayed zone. Upon detecting your entrance, the system will start sounding the entry
delay beeps alerting you to disarm the system before the entry delay ends.
After disarming, different displays may appear indicating that the system is in a state of alarm MEMORY. The MEMORY
message will disappear only upon rearming the system. To disarm the system, proceed as shown:

ARM indicator on both the KP-250 PG2 keypad and PowerMaster panel extinguishes during the disarmed state.
Disarming the system also stops the siren alarm, irrespective of whether the alarm was initiated during the armed or the
disarmed state.
Disarming under Duress
If you are forcibly compelled to disarm the system, enter the duress code (2580 by default) or another code set by the
installer. Disarming will take place normally but a silent alarm will be transmitted to the monitoring station.
Partition Selection Process
Access to any desired partition is achieved through the use of an individual code or proximity tag. It is not possible to
access the INSTALLER MENU if one or more partitions are in the AWAY or HOME modes.
Before attempting to perform any operation on any given partition(s), it is necessary to perform the operations below
which enable you to select the desired/allowed partition(s) using the individual code or proximity tag:
PRESS RESULTING DISPLAY
SELECT PARTITION
Enter partition # (1 - 3) PARTITION 1 


Notes:
1. The “Sad Tune” will be heard when selecting a partition to which no sensors / peripherals were enrolled.
2. If a partition is enabled and no zones are assigned to the partition, the icon will appear on the KP-250
PG2 keypad display.
