Duress Code Feature
Genesis has an option to alert your monitoring centre if you have been forced to disarm
your alarm system under duress. ie. An intruder has threatened you, and is entering the
premises with you under force.
In order to activate the Duress Code, it is simply a matter of incrementing your last digit
PIN number by one (1) digit.
ie. If your PIN number is 1234, your duress code would be 1235
The duress code will perform all normal system functions, including arming, disarming and
entering menus, however it will send a Duress signal to your monitoring centre.
Note: This function is only available if advised by your Installation Company.

How to Bypass inputs if system cannot be Armed
If you are unable to Arm your alarm system, one possibility is that one of your inputs is
unsealed. For example, your input device is a broken, (example) reed switch on a door or
window. The only way to Arm a Genesis system is when all the inputs are sealed.
Bypassing an input also means that the Genesis system will see a seal on the broken
input. The following steps can be used so you can bypass an input and secure the system.
This fault should be reported to your system installation Company to rectify this input.
How to bypass an input

Basic System Desciptions
What are Areas?
The Genesis security system is designed to protect one or more Areas. An area is
normally a section of a building which has specific security requirements. The Genesis
allows a system to be divided in to 64 areas of different security requirements. Each area
is identified by number and name.
For example: Area-1 may be an Office, Area-2 Warehouse, Area-3 House, Area-4
Garage, etc.
What are PIN Codes?
PIN codes are personal identification numbers allocated to system users. The PIN codes
are used to turn your security areas on and off. The PIN code can also be used to enter or
change information in the Genesis. There are two different ways in which the Genesis
system will allow users access.
Users 1-99 can a have a 4-7digit PIN code of say 1234 this method is most commonly
used as it is only 4-7 digits in length. Alternatively, user 101 and above must have user ID
and PIN number, this method offers higher level of security with up to 12 digits required to
gain access.
For example: if you are user 123 and your PIN code is 5678. You would need to press
E 123 E 5678 E All users are allowed to operate the Genesis system. Users
are allocated names that are chosen by system management, so that Genesis can identify
to the operator who is using the system and when. The Genesis system also keeps a log
of any user activity which operates the system.
What is Secure and Access?
Secure and Access means turning a systems Area or group of Areas either On or Off. If
the area is in Secure state, it is switched On, or if system is in Access state, switched Off.
The Genesis system supports up to 64 security areas, these areas can be Secured
individually.
What are Inputs?
Alarm inputs are provided for connection to various types of intrusion or fire detectors that
are installed to activate an alarm when unauthorised access or fire is detected in the area.
The inputs all have names, so that the user can identify these inputs connected to specific
detection devices.
For Example: Office sensor, Workshop PIR, Door reed, Smoke sensor, etc.
Isolate and de-isolating Inputs?
It may be necessary to isolate an individual input such as a motion detector or reed switch.
This should be done if the input is known to be faulty and the technician can not service
your system immediately. Please note that when an input is isolated it cannot generate an
alarm, so if the input has been isolated it needs to be serviced immediately to ensure your
systems integrity.

L USER MANUAL
Basic System Descriptions (continued)
What are Sealed Inputs?
Describes a condition of an input device. SEALED: The input device is sealed, eg. The
door or window is closed UNSEALED: The input device is not sealed, eg, he door or
window is open ISOLATED: The input device has been isolated and is temporary
rendered inoperative. It is excluded from functioning as part of the system.
What are Clocks?
The Genesis System has a number of ways to automate and control certain devices or
appliances. One of those is through built-in Clocks. There are up to 64 different clocks
built-in to Genesis system.
For example: The Clocks can control a number of doors that can be programmed to
remain open and allow free access EG, from 9am – 5pm. Lighting can be programmed to
come on and switch off at a predetermined times, etc. Clock functions are ideal when
utilised with building automation.
What is On-line / Off-line?
The RAS LCD display indicates if the system device is either ON-LINE or OFF-LINE. The
RAS is either operational / not operational, not communicating on LAN network. If Off-Line
call service technician immediately

Glossary
Access
The secured area is disarmed, or the door (electric lock is released)
Area
An area is a group of inputs, typically defined to by their location or function.
Input
An input monitors a detection device to the Genesis system. Each input
device is identified by the number and text on the (RAS) display. eg. Hallway
sensor, Hold-Up button, Door switch.
Armed
The security system or specific area is armed, (turned ON) secured.
Alarm
Typically an input in an armed area has detected a possible intrusion. An
alarm is something that may require an immediate response.
Card
A credential used to identify the user. This could be a proximity card,
magnetic swipe card, or even a finger print reader, or other biometric
method.
Disarmed
Security system or area is disarmed. The security area will not monitor its
inputs. Typically an occupied area will be disarmed.
Duress
When the Duress is activated the user has been forced to enter their PIN to
activate Duress. The duress code is one more than the users normal PIN.
Duress activation will normally report a silent alarm to the monitoring station.
Isolate
Stops the input from triggering an alarm. An input should only be isolated if it
is faulty (and a technician has been notified) or service is being conducted
on it.
PIN
Personal Identification Number. The number entered into the RAS to identify
the user.
PIR
Passive Infrared Detector is a motion detector that detects infrared energy
and movement in a protected area (room)
Reed
Two devices used for monitoring doors and windows. When separated the
switch will open to indicate that the door or window is open.
Secure
The security area will monitor all of its inputs. If any input with-in the area is
un-sealed, an alarm will be triggered. Typically an unoccupied area will be
secured.
Sealed
The area is armed and all inputs are sealed or bypassed, system is ready to
be secured.
Tamper
The system has detected that a tamper alarm, control cabinet may be
opened or the system cabling has been tampered with. A technician should
check the system as soon as possible. A tamper indicates that the system
may have been tampered with and may not offer full protection until it is
serviced and tamper input is restored.

Troubleshooting
Problem: Unable to Arm System
When the system is being armed with a PIN number and unsealed inputs are being
registered on the RAS display. In the event that an input device is damaged and cannot
seal or close.
Solution:
The input needs to be manually ISOLATED instructions for this area is located on page 17.
Go through the steps so you are able to secure your alarm system. You may need to call
your installation company to rectify the relevant input devices.
Problem: You cannot open a Door with your card.
Solution:
a. Genesis is not only an alarm system, it is also an access control system. Your card may
only be allocated to one door. It cannot control other than your specific door (s) allocated
to your card. You will need to call your installation company to change your access level if
required.
b. It is possible that your card may have been programmed with an expiry date. When the
date passes this pre-programmed date, your card will no longer work. Only your
installation company or system administrator will be able to reset this function.
