1. Introduction
Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30, a highly advanced wireless alarm control system
produced by Visonic Ltd.
Note: Make sure that you have the name and telephone number of the monitoring station your system will report
to. If you ever call the monitoring station to ask questions, you should have access to your "ACCOUNT
NUMBER" used to identify your alarm system to the monitoring station. Obtain this information from your
installer and write it.
Overview
The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 is a wireless alarm system for detecting and alerting in case of burglary,
fire and a variety of other security and safety hazards. In addition, it can be used to monitor the activity of
disabled or elderly people left at home. System status information is presented visually and verbally
∗
, and in
most cases a recorded voice prompts you to take correct action.
The system includes an optional partition
∗∗
feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently
controllable areas with different user codes assigned to each partition. A partition can be armed or disarmed
regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system (for a detailed description of the Partitioning
feature, refer to Appendix A).
The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 is governed by a control panel (Figure 1a and Figure 1b) designed to
collect data from various sensors that are strategically located within and along the perimeter of the protected
site.
The alarm system can be armed or disarmed by a variety of keyfobs and keypads using special codes.
In the disarmed state, the system provides you with visual status information, and initiates an alarm if smoke is
detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone (a zone which is active 24-hours a day).
In the armed state, the system will initiate an alarm upon detection of disturbance in any one of the armed
zones.
Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted areas. Presenting a valid proximity tag, while the
system is armed (and when partitioning
∗∗
is set to disabled), causes the system to disarm. Presenting a valid
proximity tag, while the system is disarmed, causes the system to be armed in AWAY (optional HOME) mode.
The system identifies a wide range of events - alarms, attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of
trouble. Events are automatically reported via PSTN (telephone line) or optional GSM communication to
monitoring stations (in digital or IP form) and to private telephones (in tones and/or SMS messages). The person
receiving such a message is expected to investigate the event and act accordingly.
IMPORTANT! All you need to know to secure your premises can be found in Chapters 2 and 3 of this manual.
If you are not familiar with some of the terms used here, refer to Appendix B at the end of this guide.
Note: This system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once a year.
