System G-Tag

G-Tag Readers are available in three variants, with the reader built into the display
area of an LCD RKP, as an Internal Stand alone Reader or as an External Stand alone
Reader. When using G-Tag the system may be Set / Unset by presenting a valid Tag
to one of the Readers.

Each Tag is programmed onto the system as an individual User Code therefore giving
indication via the system Log of who has set and unset the system. As the Tags are a
close proximity device the risk of code capture is eliminated.

When programming the G-Tags follow the normal Programming Codes instructions to
the point when you are asked for the Code, for example

At this point present your G-Tag to the reader and the code will be entered.

If you have more than one reader on your system the G-Tag MUST be programmed
onto each of the readers on the same User Number. Because of this it is essential that
you use good housekeeping for the G-Tags. Mark each of the G-Tags and record what
User Number the G-Tag has been allocated to.

The readers will be allocated to a specific keypad. The G-Tag information is stored in
the keypad therefore a single keypad having two readers would only require the G-Tag
to be programmed into one of its readers

For multiple keypads with readers the sequence for programming the G-Tags would
be.

1) Enter User Programming Mode.

2) Choose what User Number you are using (in this case User 2) for G-Tag (A)

3) Program G-Tag (A) onto the first reader.

4) At the next Keypad re-enter User Programming Mode.

5) Choose the same User Number (2).

6) Program the same G-Tag (A) onto the second reader.

7) Keep repeating until your G-Tag (A) is programmed onto all readers.

8) Now move on to G-Tag (B) on User Number 3.

! Remember to mark your G-Tags !

Now Enter Code . .

Advanced Setting and Unsetting Using Group Area Codes

There are three levels of Group Area Codes.

Group Master Allows Setting, Part Setting, Area Setting, Zone Remove, System

Test, Viewing the Log, Chime On/Off, Program User Codes, Set
Time/Date, Unsetting. Will also allow setting/unsetting of individual
areas for greater system control

Group Main Allows Setting, Part Setting, Area Setting, Zone Remove, System

Test, Unsetting. Will also allow setting/unsetting of individual
areas for greater system control

Group Area Allows group setting/unsetting/part setting of a selected group of

areas. Note: Is not able to Set/Unset individual Areas

Group Area Codes are classed as an Advanced User Function as they allow for
greater flexibility on systems that are using multiple areas.

An example of this may be when a system has Area 1 already Set, a user with a
Group Area Master or Main Code may enter his/her code and change the active areas.
This removes the need for an Area Level user to remember more than one Area Code
or for a Global Master user to unset an entire system in order to set an extra Area.

In this section we give examples of typical applications for Group Area Codes. Your
installation company will give you further information on the scenarios when Group
Area Codes may be used on your system.

Setting Using Group Area Code

Follow the instructions as for normal setting. When you are using a Group Area Code
only the Area(s) allocated to that code will be set.

Keypad Alert - If Fitted

If programmed by your installation company, the two PA keys (if programmed
by the engineer), when pressed together will act as alert keys. The exact function will
depend on what they have been programmed for. But for example, if they are pro­grammed as panic, pressing them will activate the alarm when the system is set or
unset.

Keypad Tamper

The keypad will monitor the number keys that are pressed without a valid User Code
being entered. More than 24 key presses will cause a keypad tamper. This will be
displayed as Keypad x Tamper and will require a valid User Code entry to stop the
sounders. If the system was Unset only the internal sounders will operate. If the
system was Set, a full alarm will be generated.

System Tampers

The full security system is tampered, any attempt to remove covers from Keypads,
Control Panel, Keypads, Bell Box(es) or detectors will cause a tamper alarm. This also
applies to cut cables. If the system is Unset when the Tamper occurs the alarm will be
internal sounders only. If the system is Set a full alarm will be generated.

The alarm may be silenced by entering a valid User Code. The system may only be
Reset when the Tamper has been cleared, otherwise another Tamper alarm will be
generated.

system
via Infrared Remote control. Ace is available built in to a range of keypads or as a
stand alone unit, control is via neat remote keyfob(s).

We strongly advise that User Number 1 is not used for ACE in order that the user
retains control of the programming functions.

Setting the System with ACE

1) Point the keyfob at the ACE receiver and press the button.

2) When the exit tone sounds exit the premises in the usual way.

Part Setting the System with ACE

1) Point the keyfob at the ACE receiver and press the button.

2) When you hear the exit tone press the keyfob button again

(within 3 seconds) for Part Set 1.

or

Press 1, 2 or 3 on the receiver/keypad for the Part Set you require.

Unsetting the System with ACE

1) Enter the premises via an authorised entry point.

2) Point the keyfob at the receiver and press the button.

Programming ACE
K

eyfobs onto your System

Each keyfob will occupy a User number. The number of keyfobs that may be used is
limited by the maximum number of user codes available on the system up to a
maximum of fourteen.

1) Follow the procedure for programming user codes to the point when the user
code is entered.

2) Point the keyfob at the ACE unit and press the button on the fob.

3) Repeat this procedure for any other fobs you wish to be programmed using
a different user number each time (e.g. User 1 or User 2 etc.) each time.

4) If more than one ACE receiver is fitted fobs need to be programmed onto all
ACE receivers, retaining the same user number for each individual fob.

Note: When programming the fob onto more than one receiver (on the same

system) the button on the fob MUST be held down continuously
between programming onto the first and other ACE receivers.

Note: In all cases when the ACE is used only Master & Main user levels will

allow part setting via the keyfob. Other code levels will only allow part
setting in conjunction with the keypad.
