1. About your Security System
Introduction
Your security system is made up of several component parts comprising of a control panel,
one or more remote keypads, external sounder and various detection devices that are
connected to either the control panel or zone expansion modules. The control panel houses
the system’s electronics and stand-by battery and is normally installed out of sight in a utility
room or under stairs cupboard etc.
The remote keypad provides the user interface for the system and is used to send commands
to the system and to display the current system status via a graphic display. The remote keypad
also provides audible feedback annunciation of fault and alarm tones. Remote keypads are
normally mounted in convenient locations inside the protected premises, near to the points of
entry and exit.
Please read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system’s
operation. Become familiar with the features that have been implemented on your system. All
users of this system should be equally instructed in its use.
About this Manual
This manual provides a thorough explanation of all system functions that are available to the
master user, including basic system operation, user code programming, remote control and
troubleshooting.
Alarm Transmission System
Your security system may be fitted with an automatic alarm transmission system, which will
communicate alarms, faults and other events to a 24hr manned Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).
If you accidently cause a false alarm activation, immediately call the ARC to prevent an
unnecessary emergency response.
Zones and Areas
A zone is an input that is normally used to monitor a single detection device like a motion
detector, door contact or shock sensor etc. An area is one or more zones grouped together to
allow independent arming and disarming of areas.
Access code
As a user of the security system, you will be assigned a 4, 5 or 6 digit access code. Access codes
are used to arm and disarm the system. Some access codes can perform additional system
functions, such as programming system options, omitting zones and performing system tests.
