About your Alarm Controller
Thank you for choosing to protect your premises with an Elite 16D. In
doing so you have invested in the most advanced and adaptable panel on
the market.
As you become familiar with your Elite, *ask your installer about the
incredible program options and additional expandability of your Elite 16D
Alarm Controller.
At Arrowhead, we do the utmost to future proof everything we make. Your
new panel in standard trim is ready to give you years of trouble free
operation and can be custom programmed to your specific needs. "But
wait there's more". Home Automation
The Elite is ready when you are to utilise the outputs on the panel. These
can be used in conjunction with the real-time clock or the keypad to
<CONTROL> outdoor lighting, water heating or even your doors for
access control.
Add on features like the RX-16 radio receiver card to operate any of the 5
outputs and the arm / disarm of your panel with up to 16 key fob radio
pendants.
Make use of the unique Voice Board option and open up a whole new
level of flexibility with Command Control.
In basic trim your panel is ready to communicate with monitoring stations
and call you at work on your cell phone or pager generating alarm tones.
Add the Voice Board and your panel will call you with alarm messages in
your own voice.
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.
Imagine turning on the spa before leaving work so it is hot when you get in
the door. The under-floor heating has just automatically switched on using
the on board timer and you have just opened the rollerdoor and disarmed
the garage from your cell phone so the white ware repairman can work on
your washer.
<MEMORY>
Your Elite V5 alarm panel has an event memory which stores, the 63 most
recent events including all alarm events, all system events such as mains
failure etc as well as settings and un-settings. This event memory is displayed
via the keypad with the most recent event shown first and subsequent events
following in descending order from newest to oldest. Each event is separated
by a beep tone.
There are a number of events which are stored in memory which do not have a
specific indicator associated with them such as Panic and Duress. Other
events such as tampers and low battery are shared across many devices. For
this reason the following table has been created. This table details which
indicator lights correspond to which events in memory.
To view the event memory, press the <MEMORY> button. To clear flashing
memory LED press the <MEMORY> then <ENTER> keys.

The Keypad
Your Elite 16D Alarm Controller has been designed with you the user in
mind. Clearly named backlit keys may cost a little more but mean you
don't have to remember arcane key combinations to achieve a result. As
with everything about the Elite 16D even key functions can be fine tuned
to your specific needs. Please ask your installer.
The following are the name keys and their main functions:
<ARM>
Press this button to arm your system, the Armed light will come on. Your
panel will begin beeping it's exit delay. During this time it is optional to
press the <ARM> key again to disarm. (to prevent accidental arming, the
panel can be programmed to require a code to arm. To do so enter your
code followed by the <ENTER> key).
To disarm, enter your 1 to 6 digit code then press the <ENTER> key.
If your system has the radio card installed your system can also be armed
or disarmed with your remote key fob pendant.
<PANIC>
This special key's function is best programmed by your installer to suit
your individual situation. Most commonly it is used in a panic situation to
sound only the outside siren and perhaps call a monitoring station. A panic
command can be instant or require a 3 second delay to prevent false
alarm.
With the optional voice board it can be programmed to call your spouse,
friends or a trusted neighbours with a message from you requesting help.
(A Panic can also be triggered by a dedicated Monitor Mode Keypad or a
radio pendant key programmed as instant or delayed panic).
<CONTROL>
Another special function key that can be programmed to control a single
function. Toggle on or off by pressing the <CONTROL> key (Control LED
will illuminate). This key is often used to enable a Day-zone, (a detector
that can be part armed while you are home but working in another part of
the building).
In this mode it can be programmed to operate a buzzer to let you know
you have a visitor. When the system is fully armed it changes to become a
full alarm zone.
In addition, enter your 4 digit command control code and any of the 5 on
board outputs can be operated, if programmed to do so, by pressing the
number key that matches the output, toggling on or off. (Zone LED's on
the keypad will indicate status of each output).
<MONITOR>
Monitor mode allows you to monitor the parts of the house you will not be
in at night, to enable you to feel more secure at home. Pre-selected zones
or sensors in areas you or your family will not be, can be armed with this
key while you are in the building and programmed to go into your choice of
alarm states if triggered. As with everything else on the panel this too can
be tailored to your needs. For example you may wish to have the
detectors in your garage and lounge sound only the little buzzer in the
keypad by your bed at night to warn you of an intruder while silently
dialling for assistance.
To use this feature press the <MONITOR> key and the exit delay will
sound. The armed light on the keypad will flash.
To disarm, press the <MONITOR> key again. The Elite can be
programmed to require your user code and press <ENTER> to
disarm.
<EXCLUDE>
This key allows you to temporarily exclude or by-pass zones of your
choice when arming your panel. The excluded zones will go back to
normal the next time you disarm the panel. A typical example would be if
you wanted to let your pet run around in the garage when your system is
armed, you could choose to exclude that detector (say Zone 1) from the
system.
To exclude zone 1, key in the following sequence:
<ARM> <EXCLUDE> 1 <ENTER>
To exclude zone 9, key in the following sequence:
<ARM> <EXCLUDE> <EXCLUDE> 1 <ENTER>
(When the second exclude is pressed the AUX. light will glow to indicate
zones 9 - 16 can now be excluded)
It is advisable to vacate the secured area before the exit delay
expires.
<ENTER>
This key is used to accept a series of button presses.
If you make a mistake while entering your code, press the <ENTER> key
and start again.
Please note that 4 invalid code entries will cause an alarm activation (the
sirens will sound). This is to protect your alarm system against tampering.
<PROGRAM>
This key is used to get into program mode. There are 2 levels of program
mode, USER mode and INSTALLER mode. For your protection, your
panel can be programmed to require your master code to allow access
installer program mode.
