NESS D8 V4.7 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL

OPERATION
This section describes the op er a tion of a
typical con trol pan el in stal la tion. Keep in mind
that your in stal la tion may vary depending on
the se lect ed op tions and equip ment. The
op er at ing in struc tions which fol low will cover
the most common options.
Consult your installation com pa ny if you
require fur ther in for ma tion.
All control panel operations are controlled by the
D8 LED or LCD keypad except if an optional key
switch or radio control equipment is installed.
OPERATING RULES
Generally, the panel will be Disarmed. Armed
or Monitor modes provide different levels of
security for your premises when you are home or
away. Three other temporary modes; Program,
Memory and Exclude, allow you to perform
various operations. The panel will automatically
exit from these temporary modes if you do not
press any buttons on the keypad in a 4 minute
period.
If you make a mistake while entering any codes,
press the Enter or E button and start again.
When you are required to enter your access
code, you are given fi ve opportunities to enter it
correctly. After the fi fth invalid attempt the alarm
is activated (requiring the correct code to silence
the alarm). This prevents anyone trying to guess
your code by entering random numbers.
AREA OPERATION
Area Partitioning allows the 8 zones to be split
into two partitions; Area1 and Area2.
The panel then effectively operates as two
separate systems sharing only the siren outputs
and dialler.
USER CODE ASSIGNMENT
A User Code assigned to an Area can Arm
and Disarm only that Area. User Codes
assigned to both Areas will operate both Areas
simultaneously.
COMMON AREA ZONES
Zones assigned to both Areas are Armed only
when Area1 and Area2 are both Armed. This
allows the Common Area zone/s to be shared
by both Areas.
For example, Offi ce A and Offi ce B operate as
separate areas but the entrance foyer used by
both offi ces is assigned to both areas meaning
it will automatically Arm when both Areas have
Armed. The Common Area then automatically
disarms when either Area1 or Area2 Disarms.
OPERATION
Arming and Disarming is carried out as normal
from a single keypad or separate keypads
installed in both areas or by Radio Key.
Area operation only applies to zones when they
are in the Armed state. This means that Day,
24hr and Monitor zones are independent of the
area operations.
Note: Area partitioning is in addition to Monitor
Mode. Any zone may be allocated to any area.
