WARNING
While this system is an advanced design integrated security system, it does not offer guaranteed
protection against burglary, fire or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or
domestic, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons.
Therefore, good installation practices, thorough testing and regular maintenance by the installing
company and frequent testing by the user are essential to ensure continuous satisfactory operation
of the system. It is recommended that the installation company offer a maintenance program and
instruct the user with the correct procedure for use and testing of the system.

l The first line shows the option
l The second line shows how to directly select the option without using the Help function.
Help menu:
Alert Messages
When in normal operation, the system will display the day, date and time on the first line of the display. The
second line will flash any recent system events or information (such as a fault with one of the fuses or battery,
or an alarm condition).
If the condition continues, e.g. Battery Problem, the message displays steadily instead of flashing. This
message will continue to display until you remove the message (See Accept All Alerts on page 9).
If the system is in Full Set mode (see Full Set on page 12), the message will display steadily and the buzzer will
also sound.
Pressing the key will give information on the areas/zones affected.
These messages can be removed from the display (and the buzzer silenced) using the Alert Accept procedure
(described on page 9).
Keypad Private Mode
The 3GS is designed to allow only one user at a time to operate the system.
If the display shows: when you attempt to use the keypad, this means that a
user is operating the system at another keypad. Wait until the system is free before attempting to use the
keypad again.

Part Set/Unset Individual Area (see also page 15)
Part Set/Unset Individual Area (see also page 15)
Your system will be set up as either:
l a standard alarm system with one alarm area, or
l a multi-area system, with up to 32 separate
alarm areas within one.
A standard alarm system is set using the Part, Half,
and Full procedures.
The Part and Half options are used to unset and set
individual areas within the multi-area system.
Part Set
With a standard alarm system, you can isolate
particular areas of the premises and set these areas
independently of the rest of the system.
Part Set allows you to protect the perimeter of a
premises while allowing free movement through the
exit and access area (e.g. from door, hall).
This would typically apply to the day or evening
operation of the system when people are on the
premises and using the common exit. There is free
access to the areas being used while the rest of the
building is armed.
There are no entry or exit times associated with this mode and protection is applied instantly.
The display remains blank and will only change to show alert and warning messages.
If selected while entering the building while the entry timer is running, the entry mode is cancelled and the
buzzer is silenced.
l If selected by mistake refer to “Unset/Reset” on page 8.
l If unable to set refer to “Unable to Set” on page 13.

Exit Sequence
Enter your user code and press FULL. Leave via the
exit route. The buzzer will stop at the end of the exit
time and the system will fully set.
The buzzer will sound during the exit routine. At the
end of the exit time, if all zones are closed, the buzzer
will stop. The system will then become Fully Set if :
1. the exit time expires, or
2. the ‘exit terminator’ button is pressed.
If a zone is still open, the system will wait indefinitely
for a clear condition, then set when the zone is
closed.
During the exit period the buzzer will sound with one
of two possible tones, a long beep indicates that all
zones are closed and that the system will set correctly
when the exit time expires; a short beep indicates
that one or more zones are open and the system will
not SET until all these zones have closed.

Change your own ID
This option allows the user to
change the ID code normally
assigned to them by the Master
User.
When the option is selected, the
user is prompted to enter a new
4-digit code. To avoid duplicate
codes, a second choice of code
is requested.
Once both codes have been
entered the system will either
reject or accept the user’s
choice. If rejected the user must
repeat the procedure and enter
two new codes. If accepted, the
system will assign one of them
(chosen at random) and will
indicate which code is to be
used.
This option is cancelled after use
so each user has only one
opportunity to change their
own code. The Master user may,
of course, grant the option again
if required. Once chosen the
code is completely private.
Remember the two codes you
have entered! The one chosen
by the system as your new code
will be indicated by either ‘1’ or
‘2’.
Once changed, test your code to
ensure that the system has
accepted it. In not, consult your
Master User or installer.

System Logs
The 3GS alarm log is a record of all system
activity (keypad input, status alerts, alarm
activations etc.) and this may be viewed or
printed if a hard-copy is required. The
detail and length of the log provides an
invaluable record of the system operation
for both fault finding and alarm analysis.
The alarm log is 1000 events long (the
Access Log is 3000 events) and each event
is detailed with exact date and time to the
nearest second. System events are
displayed chronologically with the most
recent events appearing first.
The alarm log gives 4 details for each
event, which are appear on the display in
sequence:
l the date and time of the event;
l the user name or zone number (e.g.
Master User);
l the user number or zone description
(e.g. User 2 Selected);
l and the action taken (e.g. System Log)

Alarm and Access Logs
3GS gives 2 types of log: the standard
Alarm Log, which displays all the system
events (as described here); and the Access
Log, which displays only Access Controlrelated events, such as Invalid Card Entry,
Door Forced, and Time Zone Setup. The
Access Log should be viewed using 3GS+.
Printing the Alarm and
Access Logs
When the option "PRINT LOG ?" is displayed, if a serial printer is connected and the serial port correctly
configured, a print-out of the log can be generated by selecting the YES key. Otherwise, any other key
should be pressed and the log will be displayed.
Viewing the Alarm and Access Logs
The log display can be stepped through quickly one line at a time by pressing the key. The "*" appears
in the centre of the date & time display to make the log easily differentiable from the Standby/Unset mode
display. The date and time remain visible in the display until all information regarding that particular event
has been shown. The PART SET key will ‘rewind’ one entry at a time to the first entry of the date currently
being displayed, the UNSET key will skip to the next entry. To leave the system log at any point in the record,
press the NO key.

that have been deleted from the system.
When an invalid PIN code has been entered three times, the card to which the code is attached will be
deleted from the system.
The
Restore menu will restore this card to the system without the need to set the card up again.

Passing and Voiding Cards
An Access level is a combination of a limited time period and a group of
doors, so that once applied to a card, it will limit the card user to having
access to certain doors at certain times only. Up to 250 Access levels are
programmed by the installer, who will indicate which levels should be
assigned to which cards. When you have assigned an Access level, you are
prompted for the Visitor Level.

The Visitor Level is used to program temporary cards, which will only be valid for a certain period of time
(between a given Start Date and End Date). The system allows for up to 250 different Visitor levels, which
are programmed by the installer. Once assigned, you are then prompted for a Function level.
Enter Visitor Level No. 1
YES
#
Change Function Level ?
Function levels give the user the ability to set and unset an Area by presenting a card to a reader outside the
Area entrance door. A Function level will give a card 3 extra capabilities: to unset an area from the outside,
to unset an area from inside, and to set an area once you have left (by swiping your card at a reader near the
exit door). Up to 250 Function levels are programmed by the installer. When you have assigned a function
level, you are prompted to change the PIN code requirement for the card.
✍ Please consult your installer on the correct procedure for setting/unsetting the system
using your card.

When passing the card, you must establish where the card actually is at the time of passing. The Roll Call
and Anti-Passback functions allow the installer to identify which cards are in use in the system at any given
time, and to control the use of cards within the system. This menu will identify the card as being inside or
outside the alarm area when passed. When all the system cards can be located at any time, they can be
tracked and controlled effectively. When you have assigned the card a location status, press the key to
return to the main menu.

the From and To ranges. When the Permanent condition is set on a door, the green LED (access granted) on
the node will flash. This allows free access through the doors selected until restored or locked.
The
Momentary sub-menu will ask you for the number of the door you wish to open momentarily. Again,
enter the number. The green LED will light steadily while access is granted.
Restore restores all door settings to their defaults. Enter the range of doors to be restored and press

Hour Adjust
This option adjusts the system clock to automatically
take account of the Summer / Winter time change
(Daylight Saving Time).
It must be selected during the week prior to the Sunday
on which the hour change is to occur at 2.00am.
A warning message is displayed until the function is
executed - “Hour Change Sunday”.
The system will automatically set the hour forward or
back as appropriate.
The option toggles on and off – you cancel the hour
change by selecting it again.

Edit Time Commands
An automatic time command is a programmed command string which
instructs the 3GS to execute a function at a pre-set time. For example,
the system could be instructed to automatically Full set the premises at
18:00.
Certain time commands are for installer use only, as indicated below.
The other commands are for Master User use.
This mode is a simplified "time command edit" function which allows the
Master User to modify the TIME at which the action will occur without
allowing alteration of the command.
The new time must be valid (24-hour format) or the procedure will not
continue.
After adjustment is made the key should be pressed to program
the new time into the system.
Movement forward and backward through the time strings is provided
by the UNSET and PART keys.
SUNDAY HOUR
Checks for Hour change on Sundays. Installer user only.
LOG DUMP
Sets dial-out variable for system to dial a remote PC/Printer. Installer user
only.
AREA 1 10M WARN to AREA 8 10M WARN
Automatic arming commands for Areas 1 to 8.
These commands (one for each block) start a 10-minute warning time (to
inform people that they must leave the building) after which time the
relevant area will arm.
BATTERY TEST
This command sets a time (1 per day) at which an automatic battery test
will be carried out. Installer user only.
FULL SET 10M WARN
Automatic arming command for the full system. Works in the same way
as the Area 10-minute Warning but in this case the full system will arm.
Late working time commands
These commands allow for late working on the premises. They will arm
the system/area if the first arming time command is cancelled. These are:
L.W. AREA1 WARN to L.W. AREA8 WARN
L.W. FULL SET WARN
E.g. AREA1 10M WARN may be set to 7pm and the L.W. AREA1 WARN
set to 9pm. Normally the first time command would arm the area 1 at
7pm. However, if the user cancels the first time command in order so
that he/she may work late then the first time command is ignored and
the system will be armed by the second time command at 9pm.
SIA TEST CALL
Sets a communication parameter. Installer use only.

Inhibit Zones/Doors
This option is used for temporarily isolating troublesome zones (doors,
windows, movement detectors, etc.) which may be preventing the
system from setting. Zones/doors may be inhibited singly or in blocks.
✍ The problem zone/door will be indicated on the display,
e.g. Zone 3 Tamper, Door 4 Open. Inhibit Mode
provides two identical sub-menus, for zones and doors.
Use the appropriate sub-menu to implement the
inhibit.
If zones/doors have been inhibited, on selection of FULL set mode, a
message will indicate how many are inhibited.
Selection of this option is logged by the system and an asterisk appears
beside the log entry to indicate the zone has been inhibited manually
(zone may also be inhibited via literal commands). The identity of the
user to select the option is also logged.
Inhibit Zones/Doors
Operation
Having entered the user CODE and then pressed the NO key, the
display will read "INHIBIT FROM 1". Enter the number of the first
zone to be inhibited followed by . The next displayed message
is "INHIBIT TO 1".
Enter the number of the last zone in the block to be inhibited. This
will be the same as the first zone if only one zone is required. After the
second parameter has been entered the display will show "n
INHIBITS" where n is the number of zones/doors inhibited) and the
buzzer will sound briefly before returning to UNSET mode displaying
the date and time.
The INHIBIT function can be re-entered any number of times to
inhibit more zones/doors, existing inhibited zones/doors will not be
affected.
Clear Inhibits
To clear inhibits, re-enter Inhibit Mode using the engineer code
followed by the NO key. The message "CLEAR ALL INHIBITS ?" will
appear in the display. Press YES to clear the inhibited zones. Press NO
to inhibit more zones or to view those zones which are already
inhibited.
