l the Ready indicator turns off.
l the Armed indicator stays on.
l the panel is silent.

Note: In Away Arming mode, manually bypassed zones are logged and communicated to the central monitoring station.

3.2.2 Stay Arming

Note: Requires at least one zone defined as Interior Stay/Away or Delay Stay/Away for this function to work.

Stay Arming is intended to arm the perimeter of the premises while permitting movement within. The Ready light must be on

to arm the system. If the Ready light is off, ensure all protected doors and windows are secure or bypassed. To Stay arm the

system, enter a valid user code and stay within the premises (do NOT violate a zone programmed as Delay). The Armed

light turns on once a function key is pressed or an access code is entered. When a user code is used, the keypad beeps if

the Audible Exit Delay option is enabled. The Ready indicator turns off and the Armed indicator turns on when the exit delay

ends.

Note: In Stay Arming mode, all auto-bypassed stay/away zones are logged and communicated to the central monitoring sta-

tion.

Section 3: Operation

3.2.3 Quick Arming

Quick arming enables users to arm the system via touchscreen or wirefree keypad without entering an access code. This

provides a fast method of arming for regular users and allows users without an access code to arm the system. The Quick

Arming feature must be enabled in order for this function to operate. See on page 29.

3.2.4 Disarming

The user must enter through a door programmed as Delay. Upon entering, the panel emits a steady entry delay tone (and a

pulsing tone during the last 10 seconds of entry delay) to alert the user to disarm the system. To disarm the system, enter a

valid user code or use a wireless key. If an alarm occurred while the panel was armed, the keypad numbers corresponding

to the violated zones are illuminated. If the system is disarmed using a method other than the keypad (e.g., wireless key),

the panel emits three squawks to indicate alarm in memory.

This section provides descriptions of all alarm controller

options, both programmable and read-only. Programming

options are accessed through the Installer portal.

4.1 Integrated Keypad Options

This section describes programmable options for the

iotega’s integrated keypad.

Keypad Lockout Attempt

Keypad Lockout is a security measure designed to prevent

unauthorized attempts to access the security system by lim-

iting the number of attempts to enter a valid access code.

Once the maximum number of attempts is reached, no func-

tions can be performed on the keypad for 5 minutes (Lock-

out Duration).

If the maximum number of invalid attempts is not reached

within one hour, or if a valid access code is entered, the

counter is reset.

Default: 0 (disabled)

This section is used to select the partition that the built-in

keypad will operate on.

Default: 1

Validrange: 1

Fire Button Options

This function is used to enable or disable the Fire [F] button

on the integrated keypad. When enabled, pressing and hold-

ing the [F] button for 2 seconds triggers a Fire alarm. The sys-

tem sounds 3 beeps to acknowledge the valid alarm and the

siren sounds with a pulsing tone. An alarm reporting code is

transmitted to the central monitoring station.

Section 4: Programming Options

System Account Number

The system account number is used to identify the alarm sys-

tem when communicating system events to the central mon-

itoring station. The system account number can be either 4

or 6 digits long. Program a 6-digit code only when using the

SIA reporting format. SIA uses this account number for all

partitions and system events. All other reporting formats use

a 4-digit system account number to report system main-

tenance (e.g., low battery, zone fault) and test transmission

events. To program a 4-digit system account number, enter

4 digits followed by FF.

Note: This field is mandatory for communication with the

central monitoring station.

Default: FFFFFF (disabled)

Validrange: 000001 to FF FF FF (Hexadecimal)

Event Reporting Format

Use this programming option to assign a communicator

format for transmitting zone alarms, tampers, faults and other

signals to the central monitoring station

The following communicator formats are available:
Contact ID
Each of the digits indicate specific information about the sig-

nal. For example, if zone 1 is an entry/exit point, the event

code contains [34]. The central monitoring station would

receive the following:

*BURG - ENTRY/EXIT - 1 where the “1” indicates which

zone went into alarm.
SIA Format - Level 2 (Hard Coded)
The SIA communication format used in this product follows

the level 2 specifications of the SIA Digital Communication

Standard - October 1997. This format sends the account

code along with its data transmission. The transmission

appears similar to the following at the receiver:

N ri1 BA 01

N = New Event

ri1 = Partition /Area Identifier

BA = Burglary Alarm

01 = Zone 1

A system event uses the Area Identifier ri00.

Default: SIA

Validrange: SIA, CID

Bell Squawk on Arming

With this option enabled, the iotega chirps the sirens briefly

at full volume when the system is successfully armed. The

following options are provided to customize this option:

None: Sirens do not chirp when the system is armed.

All RF: Sirens chirp when armed by any wireless device.

RF Wireless Key: Sirens chirp only when armed by a wire-

less key.

RF Keypad: Sirens chirp only when armed by a wirefree

keypad.

Default: RF WirelessKey

Validrange: None, AllRF, RF WirelessKey, RF Keypad

Chime on Zone Opening

When this option is enabled, the door chime sounds each

time an appropriately configured zone is opened.

The Door Chime attribute must be set to ON for every zone

that requires a chime on opening.

Default: Enabled

Validrange: Enabled, Disabled

Chime on Zone Closing

When this option is enabled, the door chime sounds each

time an appropriately configured zone is closed.

The Door Chime attribute must be set to ON for every zone

that requires a chime on opening.

Default: Disabled

Trouble Beeps Are Silent

When this option is enabled, trouble beeps are sounded for

one minute and then auto silenced for any trouble condition.

For Fire/CO troubles, trouble beeps sound every 10 seconds

for the duration of the trouble.

If the system is armed at the time that the trouble occurs, the

indication is auto silenced. When the system is disarmed,

the trouble beeps sound for 1 minute but can be silenced by

pressing any key. Once silenced, the beeps will not restart.

If a trouble has occurred and has been silenced, and

another trouble of the same type occurs, the trouble beeps

restart. (e.g., Zone tamper on Zone 1 is silenced, Zone

tamper on Zone 2 restarts trouble beeps).

If disabled, the system announces troubles through the

keypad buzzer every 10 seconds. Pressing any key on the

keypad silences the trouble beeps; however, new troubles
