System Features
The OMNI
®
624 is a state-of-the-art microprocessor-based control/communicator that provides 2
partitions and supports both hardwire and wireless zones. Programming can be performed through any
of the compatible keypads, or the system can be uploaded and downloaded remotely using the Compass
Downloader Software. Additionally, the software can be programmed to control remote actions, such as
arming, disarming, bypassing, etc. Programming options are stored in an Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM is nonvolatile, meaning that
programmed instructions will not be lost in the event of a loss of power.
Features of the OMNI624 include:
• 2 independent partitions
• Up to 24 zones that may be comprised of a
combination of hardwire and wireless or
wireless zones
• 6 hardwire zones (all fully programmable,
including keyswitch), expandable to 8
additional hardwire zones using optional plug-
in OMNIEXP8 Expansion module
• Hardwire zones can be configured as standard
or double-balanced, or can be set for zone
doubling (providing up to 24 hardwire zones if
zone expander is used)
• Up to 24 wireless protection zones plus up to 8
wireless keys
• Cross-zoning capability
• 32 User Codes (either 4-digit or 6-digit codes
can be used)
• Up to 12 keypads (OMNI-LCD, OMNI-LCD-US,
XK7LC, OMNI-KP, OMNI-KP-US)
•
OMNI-LCD, OMNI-KP, and XK7LC keypads
are not for sale in the USA.
• XK108 keypads may also be used;
however, the system can only have XK108
type keypads attached and the system must
be set up as having one partition.
• Keypad programming and remote programming
via PC and modem
• 3 emergency keypad conditions (Panic, Fire, &
Auxiliary)
• 128 Event History Log (alarms, troubles, low
battery, bypasses, central station (CS) test,
openings & closings) and keypad events
• 20 programmable relay outputs (using optional
XL4705 modules)
• 4 built-in programmable trigger outputs (2
triggers if relay module is used)
• Real-time clock (displays time & date via LCD
keypad) with reminder when clock needs to be
set
• CS test timer by event, time or both (1 hour, 1,
7, 27, 60, 90 Days)
• Customer control of Chime mode and Pager
mode
• Quick Arming, Quick Bypass, and Quick Force
Arming
• CS reporting by zone
• False alarm prevention features: Crossed
Zones, Exit Error, Recent Close, Swinger
Shutdown
• Cancel Code & System Stabilization during
power-up
• Arming by keyswitch in Away or Stay mode
• Keypad Tamper/Lockout with optional CS
reporting
• Restore transmission options: After Loop or
After Bell
