The system appears to be a comprehensive security solution designed for both residential and commercial applications, offering various arming modes, disarming procedures, panic functions, zone bypassing, and alarm memory display.

Function Description

The DIGIPLEX EVO is a security system controlled primarily through an LCD keypad. The keypad provides visual feedback via an LCD screen that displays detailed messages, guiding the user through various operations. It features dedicated buttons for common functions like ARM, FORCE, STAY, MEM, and BYP, as well as a numeric keypad for entering access codes and navigating menus. Status lights (AC LIGHT and STATUS LIGHT) provide quick visual indicators of the system's power status and zone/arming status.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific technical specifications like power consumption, communication protocols, or number of zones are not detailed in this quick reference guide, the document highlights several operational aspects:

• Power Status: The AC LIGHT indicates AC power (ON) or power failure (OFF).
• System Status: The STATUS LIGHT indicates zone status (green ON for closed, green OFF for open, green flash for exit delay) and arming status (red ON for armed, red OFF for disarmed, red flash for alarm).
• Keypad Interface: Features an LCD screen for detailed messages, arrow keys for navigation, and a numeric keypad (0-9, CLEAR, ENTER).
• One-Touch Buttons: Specific buttons (ARM, FORCE, STAY, MEM, ACC) can be pressed for 2 seconds to perform actions without an access code.
• Panic Functions: Supports three types of panic alarms (Police, Medical, Fire) activated by specific key combinations.

Usage Features

The DIGIPLEX EVO offers a range of user-friendly features for managing the security system:

• Arming Modes:

  • Regular Arm: Activated by entering the access code and pressing [ARM]. This arms the entire area when all zones are closed.
  • Force Arm: Activated by entering the access code and pressing [FORCE]. This arms the entire area without waiting for all zones to close, useful when a zone might be intentionally left open (e.g., a window).
  • Stay Arm: Activated by entering the access code and pressing [STAY]. This arms only the perimeter of the area, allowing occupants to remain inside the protected area.
  • Instant Arm: Activated by entering the access code and pressing [5]. This is a variation of Stay Arm where an alarm will occur instantly if any zones are open, providing immediate notification.
  • Area Selection: After entering the access code and selecting an arming mode, users can select a specific area or press [0] for all areas.

• Disarming Procedures:

  • Disarming when entering: Enter the [ACCESS CODE] and select the area(s) if necessary.

  • Police Panic: Press and hold keys [1] and [3] for two seconds.
  • Medical Panic: Press and hold keys [4] and [6] for two seconds.
  • Fire Panic: Press and hold keys [7] and [9] for two seconds. These send a silent or audible alarm to the security company.

• Zone Bypassing:

  • Allows users to temporarily disarm specific zones while the rest of the system remains armed.
  • Procedure: Enter [ACCESS CODE], press [BYP], use arrow keys [▲] or [▼] to scroll through zones, press [BYP] for the desired zone, and then [ENTER] to save and exit.

• Alarm Memory Display:

  • Procedure: Press [MEM]. All breached zones will scroll on the screen. Press [CLEAR] to exit.

• Keypad Navigation:

  • The LCD guides the user with detailed messages.
  • Arrow keys are used to scroll through menus or choices.

  • [ENTER] button saves current data and exits the current menu.

The document implicitly suggests some maintenance aspects:

• Installer Activation: "Some features in this Quick Start need to be activated by your installer." This indicates that initial setup and configuration, and potentially advanced features, require professional installation.
• Regular Testing: "We recommend that you test your security system on a weekly basis." This is a crucial user-level maintenance practice to ensure the system's reliability.
• User Manual Reference: "Please refer to the appropriate user manual" for more detailed information, implying that this quick guide is a summary and not exhaustive for all system functionalities or troubleshooting.
