Moreover, you can obtain up to 8 multi-function 
key-ring transmitters and proximity tags that will allow 
you and other users to easily control major functions.  
Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter 
restricted areas. Presenting a valid proximity tag 
while the system is armed causes the system to 
disarm. Presenting a valid proximity tag while the 
system is disarmed causes the system to be armed 
in AWAY or HOME modes.  
If the user has changed the state of the system from 
a high security mode to a lower security mode i.e. 
from ARM to DISARM, or from ARM to HOME, he 
will be prompted to enter the user code thus 
bypassing the QUICK ARM option. 
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 or optional GSM to central monitoring 
stations (in digital form) and to private telephones (in 
plain language 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 Chapter 2 of this manual. 
If you are not familiar with some of the terms used 
here, refer to Appendix A at the end of this guide. 
System Features 
Your PowerMax Pro offers a large number of unique 
features: 
•  30 zones: Each protected zone is identified by 
number and by name. 
•  4 Partitions (optional): One of the PowerMax 
Pro’s advantages is its ability to divide the system 
into a maximum of 4 partitions. Each partition may 
be viewed as a separate security system, each of 
which can be armed and disarmed individually 
regardless of the condition of the other partitions.  
•  Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY- 
INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY and 
BYPASS. 
•  Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language 
status information and prompts are displayed on 
the front panel in large, clear letters. 
•  Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the 
display. This feature is also used for the log file by 
providing the date and time of each event. In 
addition, it is used for the Scheduler where activity 
of a sensor is performed according to a specific 
time and date selection.  
•  Various reporting destinations: Events are 
reported automatically to central monitoring stations, 
private telephones of your choice, to a pager and 
even by SMS if GSM is installed. 
•  Selective reporting: Your installer can determine what 
type of event will be reported to which destination. 
•  Latchkey mode: An automatic “Latchkey” message 
is sent to chosen telephones if the system is 
disarmed by a “latchkey” user (a junior family 
member, for instance). 
•  Spoken announcements and instructions: 
Status- dependent, pre-recorded verbal messages 
are heard over the built-in loudspeaker (if the voice 
prompts are enabled - see chapter 7).  
•  Message exchange: Before leaving the premises, 
you may record a short verbal message for other 
users of the system who may arrive later. Upon 
arrival, you can listen to verbal messages left by 
others for you.  
•  Access from remote telephones: You may 
access the PowerMax Pro from a remote 
telephone and Arm/Disarm it or receive system 
status information. 
Note for PowerMax Pro with Partition feature: 
Remote operation is performed per partition, or per 
user code defined for a particular partition. 
•  Numerical keys serve as function keys: In the 
disarmed state, numerical keys are used to control 
various system functions. A simple icon on each 
key identifies the task of that key. 
•  Electrical sensor control: Lights and electrical 
appliances can be controlled if optional X-10 
modules are used. The electrical cabling network 
of the premises carries the control signals. Your 
installer will determine the control means in 
accordance with your needs. 
•  PGM remote control: Gate control mechanisms, 
courtesy lights and various other sensors can be 
switched on and off via a special PGM 
(programmable) output. Your installer will determine 
the control means, in accordance with your needs. 
Note for PowerMax Pro with Partition feature: 
The X-10 and the PGM outputs operate on the 
entire alarm system and not per partition. 
•  Data retrieval: You can obtain status information, 
trouble information and review memorized alarm 
events - visually and verbally. 
•  Looking after elderly, physically handicapped 
and infirm individuals: The system can be 
programmed to monitor activity within the protected 
area and send out an alert message if the person 
under surveillance remains still for a predefined 
period of time (as set by your installer).  
•  Distress calls: Miniature pushbutton transmitters 
dealt out to specific individuals may be used for 
sending emergency calls for help. 
•
  Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly 
compelled to disarm the system, he can use a 
special code that disarms the system apparently as 
usual, but sends a silent alarm to the central station 
(see chapter 2).
