Manager Guide
This User Guide tells you how to operate your intruder alarm system. To simplify this User
Guide we have assumed that the alarm system has been installed by a professional intruder alarm
system installer (the installer), and that the system is operating in a “typical” way. Aspects of
your system that are not “typical” will be described by your installer.
NOTE: If you have any questions about your intruder alarm system, then consult your installer,
see contact details at the front of this User Guide.

This document outlines the operation and programming of the Challenger AP11LCD / AP11LED Manager Guide, an intruder alarm system designed for professional installation. It serves as a user guide, detailing how to operate, set, unset, and maintain the system, including instructions for both LED and LCD keypads.

Function Description:

The Challenger intruder alarm system is designed to secure premises against unauthorized entry. It offers various setting modes, including "Full Set" for when the premises are vacated and "Part Set" for securing specific zones while allowing free movement in others (e.g., at night). The system incorporates a robust event logging feature, capable of storing up to 250 events, arranged by date and time, operating on a First In Last Out (FILO) principle. This log provides a comprehensive record of all system activities, including alarms, tamper events, and user operations.

The system supports multiple user codes, including a Manager's Code (default 0123) with full access to programming options, and up to 10 standard user codes (for LCD keypads, 2 for LED keypads). A "Holiday Code" can also be programmed, providing temporary access for others when the manager is absent, which becomes invalid once the manager uses the system again.

For enhanced security and maintenance, the system includes an "Engineer Program Mode" that requires authorization from the manager. This mode allows engineers to access advanced settings and perform system diagnostics. The "Test System" function offers three main parts: "Test Output" (for bell, strobe, and speaker), "Walk Test" (to check zone triggers and tampers), and "View Walk Test" (to review walk test results).

The system also features a "Chime Zone" function, which, when programmed, emits a special tone when a designated security zone is triggered in "DAY" mode, providing an audible alert without initiating a full alarm.

Important Technical Specifications:

While the document does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications like power consumption, battery type, or communication protocols, it implies several key features:

• User Codes: Up to 10 user codes (4-digit, 0000-9999) for LCD keypads, 2 for LED keypads. A default Manager's Code (0123) is provided.
• Event Log Capacity: Stores up to 250 events (FILO) for LCD keypads, 16 events for LED keypads.
• Engineer Access: Authorized for a 3-hour window.
• Output Tests: Includes tests for Bell, Strobe, and Speaker.
• Tamper Detection: Detects various tamper events including Zone tamper, PA tamper, Fire tamper, Control Panel tamper, Bell Box tamper, Remote Keypad tamper, and EOLR Zone tamper.
• Time and Date: Can be set in HH:MM and DD/MM/YY formats. Note: Time and Date will be lost if both main power and backup battery are cut.
• Zone Omission: Allows temporary omission of faulty zones to enable system setting.
• Panic Alarm: Activated by pressing '0' and '5' simultaneously on the keypad.

Usage Features:

• Setting the System (Full Set/Part Set):
  • LED Keypad: In Day mode, enter user/manager code. Day LED flashes for 5 seconds. Press SET for Full arm, OMIT for Part 1, & for Part 2, or RESET to exit. Faults must be cleared before setting. Quick set is available by pressing SET.

  • Test Outputs: Verifies the operation of the bell, strobe, and speaker.
  • Walk Test: Enables checking of all zone triggers and tampers (Zone, Control Panel, Bell Box, Remote Keypad). A tone is generated when a zone or tamper is activated, confirming correct functioning.
• Event Log: The detailed event log (up to 250 events for LCD, 16 for LED) is crucial for troubleshooting and identifying system issues, providing a historical record of all activities and alarms.
• Code Management: The ability to change user codes and the manager's code ensures system security and allows for updates as personnel or security requirements change.
• Zone Omission: Allows for temporary bypassing of faulty detectors or zones, enabling the system to be set while maintenance or repairs are pending, preventing false alarms.
• System Flags: The document refers to "Engineer mode / Setup System/Flags 1" for system reset programming, indicating configurable options for how the system behaves after an alarm, which is a key maintenance setting.
• Time and Date Setting: Essential for accurate event logging and system scheduling. The note about losing time and date if both main power and backup battery are cut highlights a critical aspect for system recovery and maintenance after power failures.
