NESS ECO8x CONTROL PANEL – USER'S MANUAL

OperATION
OPERATING RULES
Generally, the panel will be Disarmed. Armed
or Home 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 E button and start again.
When you are required to enter your access
code, you are given five opportunities to enter it
correctly. After the fifth invalid attempt the alarm
is activated (requiring the correct code + E
to silence the alarm). This prevents anyone
trying to guess your code by entering random
numbers.
AREA PARTITIONING
Area Partitioning allows the 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, Office A and Office B operate as
separate areas but the entrance foyer used by
both offices 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.
ARMING AREAS
Arming and Disarming of Areas, if enabled, 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 Home zones are independent of the
area operations.
Note: Area partitioning is in addition to Home
Mode. Any zone may be allocated to any area.
This section describes the operation of a typical control panel installation. Keep in mind that
your installation may vary depending on the selected options and equipment. The operating
instructions which follow will cover the most common options.
Consult your installation company if you require further information.
All control panel operations are controlled by the keypad except if an optional key switch or radio
remote control is installed.
