INTRODUCTION

LED KEYPAD

LCD KEYPAD

Congratulations on your purchase of Rokonet’s

ORBIT-PRO Security System. The ORBIT-PRO

has been specifically designed to meet a wide

range of security needs for many residential and

commercial applications.

You communicate with your ORBIT-PRO through

its keypad(s). There are two types of keypads: one

with LEDs display, and the other with LCD display.

Using its keys, you can issue commands to your

system. In turn, the system can communicate

information to you via its display, indicators and by

the sounds it makes.

Your ORBIT-PRO security system also consists of

a variety of sensors, detectors, and contacts

placed throughout the premises and designed to

recognize abnormal conditions. Typically, your

system protects against intrusion. Some systems

may also have fire protection or environmental

protection (such as gas or water level sensors)

All of your system's detectors, sensors, and

contacts are wired to the control panel. As such,

your system always knows the status of any

protected door, window, hallway, room, or area.

Similarly, it knows if a smoke detector has been

activated.

The control panel, which contains the system's

electronics and backup battery, functions in the

background and, for purposes of security, is

installed out of sight.
