Introduction

The PX Electronic Intruder Alarm System is design ed to provide sec ure protec tion for the 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 authorise d user.

Event Log

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 an d 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 in to a setting gro up (Not RX16i) whic h provides the user w ith 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 ap propriate number of areas and groups to comply with your
specific security requirements. Where more than one group is incorporated in the system, a group
can be configured by the installation engineer as a common group. A common group 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. The R X16i varian t does not in clude the s et group fe ature. If using a RX16i then
all references to set groups through ou t this manual should be interpreted as areas.

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 pro gr ammed to respond will depend on
the type of circuit and its location and purpo se. If a circ uit is faulty, the ala rm respon se 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, circuit, c oncentr ator and ac cess control module can be pr ogrammed with a text
description.

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 t o the system. Both user codes must be author ised an d
are logged by the system. The author ity of the second user code entered is used by t he sy st em. The
second user code must be entered within 15 seco nd s of the first user code.

User Card+PIN Operation

Each user can be programmed with both a PIN and a card. If the user Card+PIN option is
programmed then both codes have to be entered before the user can log on to a key pad.

Using the System

The LCD keypad will normally display the time, date and company name. If a valid code is entered the
user menu will normally be displayed. The default manager code is 0202

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 or radio Keyfob

3. Automatically by a timer schedule

4. Remotely from a PC using the Guardall GuardStation software

5. A user request on an ACM 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 an d 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

Your installation engineer shou ld advise which of the above options h av e bee n programmed on your
system.

Keyswitch/Radio Keyfob Setting

As an alternative to setting and unsetting from a keypad, your system may be fitted with an optional
keyswitch, which permits setting an d unsetting of a group by operating a keyswitch. The keyswitch
may be configured for any set mode. If your system is fitted with a radio interface then a radio Keyfob
may be programmed for setting.

Automatic Setting

The system may have been programmed by the installation engineer to automatically set all or parts
of the system according to a pre-programmed schedule. The schedule will have been programmed to
take into account the normal closing time, non-working days and holidays. The schedule may be
configured for any set mode.

Aborting The Setting Procedure

The setting procedure can be aborted at any time during the exit time by pr essing on the keypad
that was used to start setting, logging on to any other keypad, turning a keyswitch to the unset
position or an appropriate radio Keyfob.

Setting with Warnings

The system will automatically display any conditions that the user should be aware of before setting
the system. These conditions are de scribed as set w arnings and do n ot prohibit the us er from setting
the system in the normal way.

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, which are discussed in the following section.

Unsetting can be started by:

1. A user request on a keypad

2. A user activating a keyswitch or rad i o Keyfob

3. Automatically by a timer schedule

4. Remotely from a PC using the Guardall Gua rdStation software

5. A user request on an ACM Proximity Reader.

Your installation engineer should advis e which of the above options ha ve been programmed on your
system.

Unsetting Methods

If a set group inco rpor a tes an entr y r ou te in th e u ns ettin g p r oce du re th en open ing a fina l en tr y do or 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 of 30 seconds will be given. 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. To comply with the requirements of DD243 (2002), during the entry time, all
alarms in the unsetting area(s) are ignored.

Unsetting from a keypad

Your installer may have set up your system to allow automatic unset when your user code is entered.
The diagram shows all 3 possible unset scenarios when a user logs on to a keypad when area(s) are
set.

Unsetting Warnings

When unsetting from a keypad, the user is informed on the display of any warnings, e.g. circuits
isolated or on soak. The warning display will appear for approximately 4 seconds during the unsetting
procedure. If more than one warning exists, the display will automatically scroll through the list of
warnings.

5. Shunted circuit(s)

6. Circuit has reached the programmed multiple alarm limit

7. Battery test faults

8. 230v mains faults

Unsetting Restrictions

The selected group is programmed with a set level and a higher level set group(s) has not been
unset. If a user attempts to unset a high level set group when a lower level is set then a warning
message will be displayed.

In a PX250HS, there are several additional conditions that apply when unsetting.

1. The keypad must be programmed by the engineer to allow unset

2. The selected group may be programmed for dual user unset

3. An open/close schedule may be programmed for the selected group and the time is after the
programmed close time. This condition may be ignored following an alarm in one of the set group
areas if the set group is programmed with an alarm unset time. In this case, after unsetting, the
set group will automatically set after the programmed Alarm Unset period.

4. The selected group may be pr ogrammed with an Unset Delay time and set group will only unset
at the end of the programmed unset delay pe riod. A message will be displayed during this time
and the user unset request will be logged.

5. If a group is manually set before the scheduled set time then it may be unset up to the number of
programmed Early Set minutes after the time the group was set.

depend on the particular security re qu irements 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 ca n reset an a larm after reporting the event to the alarm
