Introduction
The Crow Alarm Control System
We are really pleased that you chose to protect your premises and possibly even your lives with
our RUNNER SERIES from Crow Electronic Engineering Ltd.
The RUNNER SERIES is a highly advanced, multifunction alarm control system, designed to
flawlessly manage your security system at home or at business, protects you against burglary
and supports the operation of multiple electronic devices.
The RUNNER SERIES has many incredible program options and additional accessories that can
enhance the standard features of the panel from simple “Home Automation” to “Radio control”
and Voice Prompted Command control”. Please ask your installer to find out more about these
powerful features.
You can phone your home to check or change the status of any output using the keys on your
phone. Arm or disarm the whole house or just one area, all with your own voice confirming your
selections.
Imagine turning on the spa before leaving work so it is hot when you get in the door. The under-
floor heating has just automatically switched on using the on board timer and you have just
opened the roller-door and disarmed the garage from your cell phone so the white ware
repairman can work on your washer.
The controller supports a 16 LED keypad or the more sophisticated LCD (liquid Crystal Display)
keypad.
It also has a comprehensive alarm event memory that logs all controller activity with a time and
date stamp.
Typical Alarm System Configuration
The protected premises can be divided up into 16 zones, as defined by the installation scheme.
The protected area can be grouped into two separate partitions (A and B).
The system enables you in a business environment, to conveniently group separately, the offices
from the warehouse area, or in a private residence, the different rooms of the home. For
example, living room, bedroom, and maybe the basement and attic.
These groups or zones can react specifically to different types of events and then generating an
alarm or activate a device.
The system can be armed in two different modes:
Arm
/ ( ) – the protected areas are entirely vacated.
Stay
/ ( ) – people and pets populate the protected areas.
You have access to the keypad's control features, and can change the settings yourself.
The system can be accessed via multiple keypads (each located at a different site). Up to eight
keypads can be integrated into the system. Access levels and your access codes are described
later on in this guide.
