Chapter One: Introduction and Overview

This user manual explains all you need to know about your infiniti security system and
provides step-by-step instructions for all the infiniti’s user functions. In addition to the
explanation you will receive from your installer, we urge you to read this manual so that
you can take full advantage of your system’s features. Keep this manual in an accessible
location for future reference.

The infiniti system has many features in order to suit a wide range of applications. This
manual outlines all of these features but it is likely that there are options that are not
relevant to your system. If you have any questions regarding the availability of the
features described in the manual, please ask your installer.

1.1: Security System Components

Your security system is made up of a control panel, various sensors and a number of optional
peripheral devices. This section explains the role of each component in your system.

Control Panel

The control panel is the brain of the system. It
communicates with all the devices connected to the
system. For example, in the event of a burglary, a
sensor sends a signal to the control panel indicating
that it has sensed motion on the premises. On
receiving this signal, the control panel makes the
decision to report the alarm to your monitoring service
and activate the siren.

Sensors

Sensors are the devices that protect your home, alerting the control
panel when there is a breach in security. Magnetic contacts protect
your doors and windows while motion sensors are able detect an
intruder moving across its field of view. Additionally, smoke sensors
can be installed to provide an early warning in the event of a fire.

Keyfobs

Keyfobs are hand-held transmitters that are used to operate the
system. Various keyfobs are available providing a number of
functions. For example, arming/disarming the system, sending panic
alarms and various home automation functions.

Keypads

The keypads enable you to communicate with the control panel in
order to perform a number of different functions. The main function
you can perform using a keypad is to arm the system when leaving
your home and to disarm on your return.

Sirens

While the control panel includes a built-in internal siren, it is possible
that you also have an external siren installed. The sirens are
sounded during certain alarm conditions serving to warn you and
ward off intruders.

1.2: System Monitoring

When an event occurs within the system, the control panel sends a message to your
monitoring service describing the exact nature of the event. This enables the monitoring
service to take the required action. System monitoring can implement either regular
telephone or cellular communication.

,

Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. This system is only
intended to alert you in case of an emergency and should not take the place of prudent
security practices or life and property insurance.

1.3: Home Automation

An optional expansion module can provide you with the ability to control up to 16
individual electrical appliances or lights using the front panel keypad, wireless keypads or
keyfobs. Additionally, each appliance can be programmed to be turned on and off
automatically according to various schedules and system status conditions.

1.4: Cellular Monitoring and Control

If your system supports cellular communication, you can receive information on system
status via SMS. If an alarm occurs on the premises, you are informed no matter where
you are in the world. You can also control the appliances controlled by the Home
Automation feature using SMS commands and receive confirmation when the command
is received.

Chapter Two: The User Interface

There are several methods you can use to operate the system. Apart from the keypad on
the front panel, your system may include a number of peripheral devices such as
keypads and keyfobs.

This chapter provides a brief introduction to each of the devices you can use to operate
the system. It is important that you familiarize yourself with these devices before reading
the following chapters that shall describe system operation in further detail.

2.1: Front Panel Keypad

The infiniti’s front panel keypad is the user interface that provides you with all the
functions you need to control your security system.

System Status Indicators

The System Status indicators
provide essential information on
the status of the system such
as arm, disarm, alarm and
power failure conditions.

Service Call Button

The Service Call button enables you to contact the monitoring service
and talk to an operator.

Press and hold down the Service Call key for a few seconds to initiate
a service call.

Home Automation On/Off Keys

Pressing one of the Home Automation keys followed by the unit number
(01-16) enables you to control lights and appliances in your home.

Pressing both Home Automation keys simultaneously generates an SOS panic alarm.

2.3: Wireless Keypad

The system supports up to four wireless keypads. You can use the keypad as an arming
station, perform basic home automation functions and generate a panic alarm in the
event of emergency.

Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad allows you to arm/disarm the system by entering a user code.

Arming Keys

Three arming keys are available: Full, Part and Perimeter. These keys arm the system
using one of the three arming methods. One-key Arming is an option that is programmed
by your installer. If this option is disabled, you must also enter a user code when arming.

Simultaneously pressing the Full and Perimeter buttons generates a panic alarm.

Home Automation On/Off Keys

Pressing one of the Home Automation keys followed by the unit number (01-16) enables
you to control lights and appliances in your home.

Cancel

The Cancel key clears the keypad in the event that you pressed a key by mistake.

For example, when entering your code you enter a wrong digit, the system waits for you
to enter all four digits before it decides that the code is incorrect. Pressing the Cancel key
causes the keypad to ignore what was previously entered enabling you to start again.

Battery Status LEDs

Every time a key is pressed, one of the Battery Status LEDs is lit. When the battery
needs to be replaced, the red Low Battery LED is lit.
