Single Area System Operation
Introduction
A Single Area system with Residential setting mode on Part Guard is the preferred system for a
typical domestic situation. All Access Codes are valid for all Areas and the keystroke sequences are
kept as simple as possible. Full Set is used when the house is unoccupied and Part Set is used when
going to bed.
False Alarms
Before setting your alarm system it is important to know how to avoid false alarms. Most problems
arise when setting or unsetting the system. Here is a check list to help you avoid any potential
problems:-
Make sure that all doors to be set on the system are firmly closed and cannot swing open
accidentally.
Check that areas covered by movement detectors (e.g. Passive Infra-Red detectors [P.I.R’s]) are
free from moving objects such as pets and moving curtains.
When re-entering the protected area proceed directly to the nearest Remote Keypad without
delay and enter your Access Code to open the system. Do not stray from the Entry Route
because the rest of the system is still Fully Set.
Make sure that all users are aware of any Abort procedures involving the Alarm Receiving
Centre. A quick phone call and an exchange of passwords could avoid an unnecessary callout.
System Open
The RS125 is alert to certain types of alarm hazards (e.g. Tamper) at all times because even when
the system is Unset it is still operating in Day Mode. In addition to the Guard Zones which only
cause a full alarm when the system is Set, your installation may also include Zones which operate
on a 24 Hour basis (e.g. Personal Attack buttons or Smoke Alarms).
Under normal circumstances you should have the Power Light lit and the LCD display showing:-
An Alarm Activation during ~System Open” will produce an immediate Audible Warning.
To silence an alarm enter your Access Code; the system will display a series of
messages giving details of any alarm events which occurred since the last time an
Access Code was used.
The panel may enter a Lockout state after an alarm event; this requires a specal Reset
procedure to be used involving engineering assistance before the system can be set again.
You may need to call your Alarm Company or Alarm Receiving Centre immediately.
