Auxiliary Functions
The Premier SmartKey™ can also be used to activate auxiliary devices from the control panel
outputs. The function keys should first be enabled either from the Engineers Keypad see page 27, or
RICOCHET™ Monitor. Once enabled the user can enter Auxiliary mode by pressing the power
button when the SmartKey™ is powered up, the status LED will change from blue to turquoise to
indicate Function mode.
Once enabled the outputs should be programmed in the control panel to activate the desired
function. Please refer to the Control Panel manual for details on how to programme the outputs.
The Function Keys use the PC Control virtual outputs on the control panel and are pre assigned,
in the case of the Premier 24/412/816 & 832, only function buttons 1 & 2 may be used.
Instant Disarm
Pressing the DISARM button without powering up the Premier SmartKey™ will disarm the system,
or all areas allocated to the user, whilst the disarming process is taking place the alarm status LED’s
will change from the ARMED to the DISARMED state.
Alarm Status LED’s
The alarm status LED’s when enabled will indicate the system status to the user, however
considerations need to be given when the user is allocated to more than one area.
In the case of multiple areas being assigned to a Premier SmartKey™ user the alarm status LED’s
will indicate the status of all areas the user has access too.
For example in a two area system where one area is ARMED and one is DISARMED, both the
ARMED & DISARMED LED’s will be on. If the user then presses the DISARM button, the area which
is currently ARMED will be DISARMED, and vice versa.
If the user has control over three areas and only the DISARMED LED is illuminated, it means that all
areas the user is assigned too are DISARMED, pressing the ARM key will arm all three areas.
Great care should be taken if the user is assigned to more than one area or subsystem. It is not
possible for the user to determine from the Premier SmartKey™ which areas are ARMED and
which are DISARMED. It is important that in these situations the user has access to an
alternative means of setting and unsetting the system so that the possibility of false alarms
from the system are minimised.
