Introduction

The PX Electronic Intruder Alarm System is designed to provide secure protection for the installation.
The system is highly versatile, permitting individual systems to be installed and programmed to meet the
particular security requirements of each installation.

The system comprises a main control panel, normally located out of sight in a secure area, and at least
one keypad.

The panel has a wide range of features, which are programmed by the engineer on installation, to suit
the security requirements of the particular installation. Some of the features may be reprogrammed,
edited, or viewed as required by an authorised user.

Event Log

The system incorporates an event log capable of recording the at least 250 events. The actual number of
event stored is dependent on the panel type as shown in the table.

Feature PX18 PX34 PX80 PX500

Security event log 250 250 500 1000
Access Log 1000 1000 1000 1000

The event log will record all events, for example, user log-on times and user numbers, keypad numbers,
setting and unsetting times, alterations made to programmed settings, fault conditions, etc. When the
event log is full, the oldest event will be automatically removed when the next event occurs.

All log events are date and time stamped and may be viewed, or printed if a printer is fitted to the
system.

Areas & Set Groups

For protection purposes, the premises may be divided into a number of areas. Individual areas may be
grouped together into a setting group which provides the user with a convenient way of setting and
unsetting more than one area at the same time.

The installation company engineer will have configured your system for the appropriate number of areas
and groups to comply with your specific security requirements.

Where more than one area is incorporated in the system, an area(s) can be configured by the
installation engineer as a common area. A common area will automatically set if all other areas of the
system are set and will automatically unset if any one of the other areas is unset.

Circuits

Each detector or sensor in the installation is allocated a unique circuit number. The installation engineer
will have programmed each circuit to respond in a certain way when the circuit is activated, when the
area is set and unset. The way in which the circuit is programmed to respond will depend on the type of
circuit and its location and purpose.

If a circuit is faulty, the alarm response may be turned off by an authorised user. This process is referred
to as bypassing.

User, Set group and Circuit Identification

Each user, set group, and circuit can be programmed with a text description. An authorised user can
change a user text descriptor.

User Codes

Each user of the system is identified by a unique code. This code can be a PIN code, an electronic key
or proximity token. An electronic key can only be used on a keypad variant with an electronic key
interface. A proximity token can only be used on a keypad variant with a proximity interface.

Throughout this manual user codes are only referred to as codes.

Operator Controls and Displays

System Keypads

2 x 16 character
LCD backlit display

Mains indicator

Optional electronic
key socket

The operator keypad unit incorporates a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising 2 lines of 16
characters, and a backlit keypad to gain access to the system and to perform all authorised user
functions. Keypads may be fitted with an electronic key socket or an internal proximity reader. The
keypad incorporates a mains power indicator. This indicator will flash if the system is operating on
standby battery power.

Electronic Keys

A user PIN code can be replaced by an electronic key. To use the facility at least one keypad in the
system must have the optional electronic key interface fitted.

All Guardall electronic keys are manufactured with a unique code and duplicate keys cannot be
obtained. Spare or replacement keys can be obtained from the installation company.

Proximity Tokens

A user PIN code can be replaced by a proximity token if the keypad is fitted with the optional proximity
reader. There are 2 types of token available; a card or key fob.

All Guardall proximity tokens are manufactured with a unique code and duplicate tokens cannot be
obtained. Spare or replacement tokens can be obtained from the installation company.

Keyswitch

As an alternative method of setting and unsetting, a simple On/Off keyswitch may be fitted to the
system.

Using the System

When no user is logged on to a keypad, the time, date and company will normally be displayed.

12:00 Mon 27 Sep

Guardall

The LCD keypad will normally display the time, date and company name.

Logging on

A user logs on to the system by either:

1. Entering a user PIN code followed by 4

2. Inserting an electronic key

3. Presenting a proximity token

The system will check that the entered user code is valid before permitting access to the system user
functions.

Message Reason

Alarm Abort User logs on within the alarm abort period (programmable option)
Setting Stopped User logs on during the setting exit period
Group Unset A group(s) is set and is programmed to automatically unset when a user logs on.
Cannot Set The system cannot set, the reason(s) will then be displayed.
Unset Alarm An unset alarm has occurred, the details will then be displayed.
Mult.Alarm A circuit(s) has alarmed the maximum number of times allowed (programmable).

The circuit details will then be displayed.

Code Known

Another user has chosen your code. You will then be given the option of

immediately changing your code. This message will always be displayed on log

on until the code is changed.
Call Engineer You should call the installation company. The details will then be displayed.
Reset OK A managed reset code has been accepted
Set
4=Confirm

The user is configured for the log on set option. If confirmed the system will start

setting (if only one group is authorised) or display the set group menu.
Soak Cct Fails Circuits which have been put on special test by the installation engineer have

alarmed.

Dual User Code Operation

Where a higher level of security is required a keypad may have been programmed to require two user
codes to be entered before logging a user on to the system. Both user codes must be authorised and
are logged by the system. The authority of the second user code entered is used by the system.

Unset

Code-01

The system will have been partitioned by the installation engineer into a number of set groups. The user
authority will determine the choice of groups, which can be unset. There are several methods of
unsetting available to the user. These methods are discussed in the following section.

Unsetting Methods

If a set group incorporates an entry route in the unsetting procedure then opening a final entry door to
the area will start a pre-programmed entry timer. The user must proceed directly to the keypad or
keyswitch via a pre-determined entry route and unset the group as described.

If the group is not unset before the entry time has expired a warning period, equivalent to 50% of the
programmed entry time, will be allowed. This is to warn the user that an alarm condition will occur if the
group is not unset by the end of the warning period. If the group is not unset by the time that the total
entry time and warning time has expired, an alarm condition will be initiated.

During the entry time, if a user deviates from the prescribed entry route into an armed area, the entry
time is immediately cancelled. If programmed, a fixed pre-warning period of 45 seconds will be given,
otherwise an immediate alarm will be given. If the user enters an armed area during the entry warning
period, the warning period is cancelled and an immediate alarm will be given.

Unsetting from a keypad

To unset, log on to the keypad. If an authorised group is configured for automatic logon/unset then the
unset group descriptor will be displayed.

Workshop
Unset

If more than 1 group is configured for logon/unset then only the first
descriptor will be displayed.

Set

Code-02

The system can be partitioned into a number of parts called set groups, each of which can be
individually set. The programmed user authority level must allow setting and the programmed user area
access will determine which set groups are available to a user.

Setting can be started by:

1. A user request on a keypad

2. A user activating a keyswitch

3. Automatically by a timer schedule

4. Remotely from a PC using the Guardall GuardStation software

5. A user request on an Access module Proximity Reader.

Setting modes include:

1. Instant, where setting is completed immediately

2. Timed, where setting is completed at the end of the programmed exit time

3. Exit point, where setting is completed by opening and closing the final exit circuit

4. Push button, where setting is completed by pushing the external PB circuits after opening and
closing the final exit circuit

Setting with Warnings

The system will automatically display any conditions which the user should be aware of before setting
the system. These conditions are described as set warnings and do not prohibit the user from setting
the system in the normal way. The user however may wish to change a condition before setting the
area(s) or system, where appropriate.

When a user selects set, and warnings exist, the set warning prompt will be displayed.

Reset

Code-03

The resetting method programmed by the alarm company engineer for each area and the system will
depend on the particular security requirements of the area or system. There are 3 types of reset:

1. Customer reset, where the customer can reset any alarm

2. Engineer reset, where the alarm company engineer must reset all alarms

3. Managed reset, where the customer can reset an alarm after reporting the event to the alarm
company
