INTRODUCTION
ABOUT YOUR ALARM
Thank you for choosing to protect your premises with the Alert 8 (also
called PowerWave8 or PW8). In doing so you have invested in the most
advanced and adaptable panel on the market.
Two Separate Alarm Panels: Your Alert 8 can operate as two totally in-
dependent alarms. These independent ‘AREAS’ can be controlled from
one global keypad or from multiple keypads assigned to specific areas.
The Alert 8 has many incredible program options and additional accessories that can enhance the standard features of the panel offering simple
“Home Automation” to “Radio control”. Please check with your installer
to find out more about these powerful features.
The Alert 8 can communicate with monitoring stations or call you at work,
on your cell phone or your pager to warn of intruders.
With the optional voice board fitted you can phone your home to check or
change the status of any output using the keys on your phone.
Arm or disarm the whole house or just one area, all with your own voice
confirming your selections.
The controller will support an 8 LED keypad or the more sophisticated
LCD (liquid Crystal Display) keypad.
It also has a comprehensive alarm event memory that stores all of the
controller activity with the time and date. The event memory is accessible
from both keypads but the time & date information can only be displayed
via the LCD keypad.
