NESS R8 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL
OPERATION
OPERATING MODES
The Ness R8 will operate in one of the following
modes:
ARMED. The system is “On” and ready to
detect intrusion.
DISARMED. The system is “Off”. This is the
normal mode when the premises are
occupied. Day Zones and 24 Hour Zones
such as external siren tamper, if used, are
active.
DAY MODE. The system is Disarmed and a
zone or zones have been setup to create an
alarm when activated. Often used as a
doorway alert in a shop.
MONITOR MODE. Allows the system to be
“partially” Armed. For example, in a house,
to allow all perimeter zones, doors and
windows, to be Monitored (armed) at night.
24HR ZONES. Zones that have been setup to
be active in any mode. Usually used for
Tamper switches and Panic buttons.
DOORBELL. The doorbell can be triggered
using the optional Ness 100-056 Doorbell
transmitter. The doorbell function has
adjustable volume and selectable chime
settings. The doorbell operates in any panel
mode.
ALARMS, DEFINITION
Alarms may be caused by:
• A zone has been triggered while Armed
• A Tamper has been triggered
• A PANIC button has been triggered
All of these may cause your sirens and strobe
to operate. Various visual indications relevant
to the alarm will be retained in the memory. If
this occurs, Disarming your control panel will
reset the alarm. The cause of the alarm can be
identified by entering the Alarm Memory Mode
as described on page 18.
RESETTING ALARMS
To stop the siren/s or to reset the strobe light if
it is still flashing* (if installed), reset the panel
using the keypad by entering a valid keypad
code followed by the E button, or press the
OFF button on a valid Radio Key.
To check the cause of the alarm, you can view
the event memory as shown on page 18.
* In the event of an alarm, the strobe light will
continue to flash until the panel is reset by the
keypad or radio key, otherwise it will time out
after 11 hours. (If mains power is disconnected,
the panel will reset the strobe light output after
1 hour to conserve the backup battery).
