3.1 The PowerSeries Neo Security System
Your PowerSeries Neo has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and
convenience. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on how to operate your
system and which features have been implemented in your system. All users of this system should be
equally instructed in its use. Fill out section 17.1 "System Information" page with all of your zone
information and access codes and store this manual in a safe place for future reference.
3.1.1 General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a PowerSeries Neo control panel, one or more keypads and various sen-
sors and detectors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement. The
metal cabinet contains the system electronics, fuses and standby battery.
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. LED keypads have a group of zone and
system status lights. LCD keypads have an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). The keypad is used
to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in
a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the entry/exit door(s).
The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones is connected to one or
more sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in alarm is indicated by
the corresponding zone lights flashing on an LED keypad or by messages on the LCD keypad.
