IDS 805 User Manual 700-266-01C Issued March 2009
1. Introduction to the IDS805
The IDS805 Control Panel is manufactured to the highest specification and will provide many years of
service if correctly installed and maintained. The unit is designed for simple operation yet provides the
maximum protection for you, your family, or business. For trouble free operation, please follow the
instructions contained in this User Manual.
Your security system consists of a control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors and
detectors. An enclosure will contain the control panel which includes the system electronics, fuses, and
standby battery. There is normally no reason for anyone other than the installer or service professional to
have access to the control panel.
1.1 Notes
Read the entire manual carefully and keep it in an accessible place.
Your security system should be installed and serviced by a qualified security professional who
should instruct you regarding the level of protection provided and the operation of the system.
Should you have any questions regarding the operation of the system, contact your security
company representative.
Your system should be tested on a regular basis. Before testing the system, please notify your
security company of your intention to do so.
NEVER disconnect the mains power, as the back-up battery will eventually discharge thereby
causing the control panel to shutdown.
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and - if included -
your central station of an emergency situation.
Smoke and heat detectors may not detect all fire situations.
2. Understanding the Keypad Indicators
Refer to the labelled pictures of the keypads.
