Isolating Zones:

When a zone has been isolated, access is allowed into that zone at all times. Isolating zones is performed by one of two methods. One way requires the use of a valid user code while the other way does not. The ability to isolate zones is governed by the priority level allocated to each user code holder. Some user code holders may not be able to isolate zones. Refer to “User Code Priority” on page 12 for further information.

Standard Isolating:

• Press the [STAY] button twice. Three beeps will be heard.
• Enter the [zone number] required to be isolated followed by the [STAY] button. The zone you have just selected to be isolated will now begin to flash.
• If a mistake is made, press the [zone number] that was incorrectly entered followed by the [STAY] button. This zone is now no longer isolated and the ZONE indicator will extinguish.
• Repeat step 2 if more than one zone is required to be isolated.
• Press the [AWAY] button when finished selecting the zones to be isolated.
• Two beeps will be heard.
• The zones selected to be isolated will now continue to flash until the system has next been disarmed.
• The system is now ready to be armed in AWAY Mode.
• As each zone is isolated, the corresponding ZONE indicator will begin to flash.

Code To Isolate:

• Press the [STAY] button.
• Enter your [User code].
• Press the [STAY] button. Three beeps will be heard.
• Enter the [zone number] required to be isolated followed by the [STAY] button. The zone you have just selected to be isolated will now begin to flash.
• If a mistake is made, press the [zone number] that was incorrectly entered followed by the [STAY] button. This zone is now no longer isolated and the ZONE indicator will extinguish.
• Two beeps will be heard.
• The zones selected to be isolated will now continue to flash until the system has next been disarmed.
• The system is now ready to be armed in AWAY Mode.
• As each zone is isolated, the corresponding ZONE indicator will begin to flash.

The control panel has a real time 12 month calendar and 24 hour clock that needs to be set and changed for daylight savings. This will allow the system to log events and send test reports with accurate time stamping if programmed.

This function needs to be used when the date and time requires to be changed or the system has been powered down.

To Set The New Date and Time:

• Enter your [MASTER CODE] followed by [6] and the [AWAY] button.
• Three beeps will be heard and the STAY and AWAY indicators will begin to flash.
• Enter the day, month, year, hour and minute using the (DD, MM, YY, HH, MM) format.
• Press the [AWAY] button when finished to exit this function.
• Two beeps will be heard and the STAY and AWAY indicators will extinguish.

Example

If the date and time needs to be set for the 1st January 1998 at 10:30 PM, program the date and time as follows;

[Master code] + [6] + [Away] + [0] + [1] + [0] + [1] + [9] + [8] + [2] + [2] + [3] + [0] + [Away]

Day alarm may be used to monitor the front door of a shop or a pool gate. Day alarm enables a combination of zones to be monitored while the system is in the disarmed state. An indication is available via any of the programmable outputs including the code pad buzzer. Only zones 1 – 4may be used as day alarm monitored zones.

Day Alarm Resetting:

An output that has been programmed for day alarm resetting will operate when a zone selected for day alarm is triggered. The output will reset when the zone returns to normal. This can only occur when the system is disarmed.

Day Alarm Latching:

An output that has been programmed for day alarm latching will operate when a zone selected for day alarm is triggered. The output will reset when the [AWAY] button has been pressed. This can only occur when the system is disarmed.

Example:

• If you have multiple zones programmed for day alarm and one of them has triggered, it is difficult to know which zone caused the day alarm.
• Using the option of day alarm latching will solve the problem. When a day alarm zone triggers, all zone indicators are turned off leaving only the zone or zones that caused the day alarm illuminated.
• To clear the day alarm memory, press the [AWAY] button.

Operation

• Day alarm is turned on and off by holding the [4] button down for two seconds.
• Three beeps indicate that day alarm is turned on.
• Two beeps indicate that day alarm is turned off.
• If a zone has been programmed for day alarm, it can be isolated in the normal way. The isolated zone therefore will not register as a day alarm zone.

This feature allows you to playback the last forty events that have occurred to the system. The event memory recall mode reports all alarms and arming/disarming of the system in the AWAY Mode and STAY Mode 1 and 2. This function helps with trouble shooting system faults. The events are displayed via the code pad indicators.

To Enter The Event Memory Recall Mode:

• Enter your [MASTER CODE] followed by [8] and the [AWAY] button.
• Three beeps will be heard.
• The events will be played back via the code pad indicators in reverse chronological order.

Example:

If the events were as follows:

The event memory playback will report as follows:

• Each event is indicated by a beep and an illuminated indicator.
• Resetting a 24 hour alarm in the disarmed state is indicated by one beep only.
• After the last event, three beeps will be heard to indicate the end of playback.
• The replay can be terminated at any time by pressing the [AWAY] button.
• During the event memory playback, arming the system in STAY Mode 1 and STAY Mode 2 is indicated by the STAY indicator illuminating. There is no differentiation between arming the system in STAY Mode 1 and STAY Mode 2.
• If the control panel has been powered down, the memory of all events will be lost.

Code pad Duress Alarm:

A code pad duress alarm can be used as a hold up alarm. This will occur when the number [9] is added to the end of any valid user code that is being used to disarm the system. Adding a [9] to the end of a code when arming the system will not cause a duress alarm. A code pad duress alarm is always silent and can only be made use of if your control panel is reporting back to a monitoring station or numeric pager.

There is a feature available that allows the number [3] to be used for a code pad duress alarm instead of the number [9]. Contact your installer if you wish the code pad duress alarm to use the number [3] button.

Code pad Panic:

A code pad panic alarm will be triggered when both the [1]and[3] buttons or the [STAY]and[AWAY] buttons are pressed simultaneously. This is an audible alarm. Contact your installer if you wish code pad panic to be silent.

Code pad Fire Alarm:

A code pad fire alarm will occur when the [4] and [6] buttons on the code pad are pressed simultaneously. This is an audible alarm. Discuss this with your installer if you require the code pad fire alarm to be disabled. A distinct fire sound is emitted through the horn speaker to indicate this type of alarm condition. This fire sound is different to the burglary sound. Contact your installer if you require this to be silent.

Code pad Medical Alarm:

A medical alarm will occur when the [7] and [9] buttons on the code pad are pressed simultaneously. This is an audible alarm. Contact your installer if you require this to be silent.

Panic Alarm via Transmitter:

Press both buttons [1]and[2] together for two seconds on the hand held transmitter. This will cause a panic alarm which will activate the horn speaker, strobe and internal sirens.

Walk Test Mode:

Walk test mode allows you to test the detection devices that are connected to your system to ensure that they are functioning correctly. This should be performed on a weekly basis.

Before activating walk test mode, isolate any zones that are not required for testing. Refer to “Isolating Zones” on page 23 for more information on isolating zones.

To Enter Walk Test Mode:

• Enter your [MASTER CODE] followed by [7] and the [AWAY] button.
• Three beeps will be heard and the STAY and AWAY indicators will begin to flash.
• The code pad will beep once every second while the system is in walk test mode.
• Unseal and seal the zones to be tested. The code pad will sound one long beep and the horn speaker will sound one short beep every time a zone is sealed or unsealed.
• Press the [AWAY] button to exit this function.
• Two beeps will be heard and the STAY and AWAY indicators will extinguish.

The following hold down functions can only be carried out from the CP5 range of code pads. If the system has a CP6 code pad connected to the system, these hold down functions will not operate.

Horn Speaker Test:

Holding the [1] button down until two beeps are heard will sound the horn speaker for a two second burst. No other sounding device will sound in this mode. If An EDMSAT – Satellite Siren has been connected to the control panel, this function will test the horn speaker for a two second burst followed by the strobe connected to the satellite siren.

Bell Test:

Holding the [2] button down until two beeps are heard will sound the speakers for a two second burst. No other sounding device will sound in this mode.

If an EDMSAT – Satellite Siren has been connected to the control panel, this function will test the horn speaker for a two second burst followed by the strobe connected to the satellite siren.

Strobe Test:

Holding the [3] button down will operate the strobe. No other device will operate in this mode.

If an EDMSAT – Satellite Siren has been connected to the control panel, this function will also test the strobe on the satellite siren.

• Hold down the [3] button until three beeps are heard. The strobe will begin to flash.
• Hold down the [3] button until two beeps are heard. The strobe will stop flashing.

Initiate A Test Report:

Holding the [9] button down until two beeps are heard will send a “Test” report which is used to test the dialling and reporting capabilities of the system without causing the sirens to sound. This hold down function is only applicable if your system has a communication dialler fitted and enabled.

Whenever a system fault occurs, the FAULT or MAINS indicator will flash and the code pad will beep once every minute. If the MAINS indicator is flashing, this is because the AC mains supply has been disconnected. There is no need to determine this type of system fault. Pressing the [AWAY] button once will acknowledge the AC mains fail and will stop the code pad beeping once every minute.

To Determine The Type Of System Fault:

• Hold down the [5] button until two beeps are heard or alternatively, enter your [MASTER CODE] followed by [5] and the [AWAY] button.
• The FAULT indicator should remain steady and the STAY and AWAY indicators should flash in unison with each other.
• The type of system fault will be indicated by the ZONE indicators.

To exit fault analysis mode, press the [AWAY] button. The STAY and AWAY indicators will extinguish and the FAULT indicator will remain illuminated.

To Acknowledge The System Fault:

To acknowledge the system fault, press the [AWAY] button. The FAULT indicator will remain illuminated and the code pad will cease its once a minute beep.

Fault Descriptions:

Low Battery

A low battery fault will register when the battery supply voltage falls below 10.5 volts or when a dynamic battery test detects a low capacity battery. This fault will clear after a successful dynamic battery test. A dynamic battery test is performed every four hours once power has been connected to the control panel and also every time the system is armed in AWAY Mode, STAY Mode 1 or STAY Mode 2.

Date and Time:

The date and time fault will register every time the control panel has been powered down. This fault will not cause the FAULT indicator on the code pad to illuminate unless an Auto-arming time has been programmed by the installer. This fault will clear once the date and time has been programmed if an Auto-arming time has been programmed.

Sensor Watch:

A sensor watch fault will register because one of the detection devices has stopped working or has failed to detect movement for the programmed time period whilst the system is disarmed. The fault will clear after the registered zone has been unsealed and resealed again. Hold down the [5] button a second time to display the zone that registered the sensor watch fault.

Horn Speaker Monitor:

A horn speaker fault will register when the horn speaker is disconnected from the control panel. This fault will clear when the horn speaker has been reconnected.

Telephone Line Fault:

A telephone line fault will register when the telephone line connected to the control panel has been cut or disconnected for a continuous period of 40 seconds or more. This fault will clear when the telephone line has been reconnected for a period of over 40 seconds.

E2 Fault:

An E2 fault will register when the control panel detects an internal checksum error.

Code pad Fuse Fail:

A code pad fuse fail fault will register when either the code pad fuse or the accessories fuse has blown or is disconnected. This fault will clear when the blown fuse is replaced or reconnected.

Communication Failure:

A communication failure fault will register if the control panel was unsuccessful in calling the receiving party after the control panel has exhausted its maximum number of attempts.

AC Mains Failure:

An AC mains failure will flash the MAINS indicator, sound the code pad buzzer once every minute and send an “AC Fail” report to the monitoring station. This fault will clear once the AC mains have been reconnected. An “AC Restore” report will be transmitted once the AC mains have been restored for more than two minutes.

System Indicators and Operations:

The code pad is the communications interface between you and your alarm system. It allows you to issue commands and offers both visual and audible indications that guide you through the general operation. The code pad incorporates numerous indicators. There are ZONE indicators which are used to show the condition of each zone and four others for general status. The following is a list of situations and the relevant indications that will be seen.

LED Code Pad:

Zone Indicators

The ZONE indicators are used to show the status of the zones. The following table lists the various circumstances that the indicators will display (ie. Zone Sealed, Zone Unsealed).

AWAY Indicator:

The AWAY indicator is used to inform you that the system is armed in the AWAY Mode.

STAY Indicator:

The STAY indicator is used to indicate that the system is armed in STAY Mode.

Mains Indicator:

The MAINS indicator is used to indicate that the systems AC mains supply is normal or has failed.

FAULT Indicator:

The FAULT indicator is used to indicate that the system has detected a system fault. Refer to “Fault Analysis Mode” on page 24 for more information on system faults.

This indicator (PERSON IN HOUSE AND PERSON WALKING AWAY) will illuminate when the system has entered the operators programming mode (i.e. Master Code Functions). Both persons will flash.

Off Indicator/ Zone Unsealed

The indicator will illuminate when the system is in the disarmed state and will flash when a zone becomes unsealed. If will stop flashing when all zones are sealed.

Audible Indicators

In general, the audible indications given out by the code pad are as follows:

User Codes 1- 8:

• The purpose of user codes is to arm and disarm the system as well as perform other specific functions.
• User codes can be any length between one to four digits long. Each user code can have a different priority level allocated to it. This controls the behaviour of the code, allowing it to arm only or to arm and disarm etc.
• There are a total of 8 user codes available that can be changed or deleted at any time by the Master Code holder. Multiple Master Codes may be programmed.
• The priority level for each user code can only be programmed or changed by the installer.

Changing and Deleting User Codes:

This function allows a Master Code holder to add/change or delete any of the system user codes.

When changing or deleting user codes it is important that you know the number of the user you wish to change or delete. Your installer should provide you with this information at the time of installation.

To Add or Change A User Code:
