Premier 8SP Master User Manual About the Alarm System

1. About the Alarm System
Introduction
Your alarm system consists of a control panel, one or more
keypads and various detectors and sensors. The control
panel will normally be mounted out of sight in a utility room
or basement etc. The control panel houses the system’s
electronics and stand-by battery. There is normally no
reason for anyone except an installer or service person to
have access to the control panel.
The remote keypad is used to send commands to the
system and to display the current system status via the
various coloured lights (LED’s). The keypad also provides
audible feedback each time a key is pressed. Each keypad
will be mounted in convenient locations inside the protected
premises, near designated points of entry/exit.
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 is a thorough explanation of all system
functions, including troubleshooting and programming
Access codes in addition to performing basic system
functions. Most users of the system will not need to know all
of this information. The section of this manual, titled
“Operating your Alarm System” explains general system
concepts and instructs the user on how to arm and disarm
the system and bypass zones. The remaining sections of the
manual are reserved for more detailed system information.
Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection
devices such as smoke detectors and providing a warning
alarm if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection
depends on having adequate numbers of fire detectors
placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be
installed in accordance with the relevant local authority fire
regulations. Carefully review the “Fire Escape Planning”
guidelines in this manual.
"
Your installer must enable the fire detection feature of
this equipment before it will work.
Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and
emergency information over telephone lines to an alarm
monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm,
immediately call the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) to
prevent an unnecessary response.
"
Your installer must enable the monitoring function
before it will work.
Zones
Your installer has divided the protected premises into zones.
A zone is an area of protection that has one or more
detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors, glass-
break detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). A single
zone might be a room, a hallway or a door or window.
Access Codes
As a user of the alarm 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, bypassing zones and performing system tests.
Remote Keypads
One or more remote keypads will be installed throughout
the protected premises, usually one at each entry/exit door.
