Premier Elite 8XP-W & 32XP-W Installation Manual
48 INS467-4
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 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 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 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.
Arm Fail Indication
If the system or any area assigned to a user fails to arm, all three alarm status LED’s will flash to
indicate an arm failure. In the case of users assigned to multiple areas the whole system should be
unset and each area investigated to determine the cause of the arm failure.
