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 installation 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.

1. Introducing the SigNET 200/300 System

The SigNET 200/300 system must be installed by a qualified installation engineer. When the installation has been
completed, the engineer provides users with passwords to set or unset and configure the system as required.

2. Using the Keypad

The SigNET Keypad is a wall-mounted programming interface unit that allows users to enter User Programming
menus (password protected), and to perform operational procedures (arm/disarm) on the system. The Keypad unit
includes an integral front tamper switch and has a 2 line x 16 character display. Three LEDs provide information on
AC power, system alerts, and communications status. The Keypad features an easy-to-use navigation key to assist
in locating required programming options, and has 2 context sensitive soft keys (left and right) for selecting the
required menu or program setting.

The SigNET Keypad may be factory fitted with a Portable ACE (PACE) proximity device reader and/or a wireless
module for the enrolment of wireless sensors.
