Basic Concepts

To use the Concept 2000 system effectively it is helpful to understand six simple terms used in the system. These six
terms are:

• Areas

• Users

• Zones

• On

• Off

• Terminals

AREA

The Concept 2000 security system is designed to protect one or more areas. When you wish the Concept 2000 to protect
an area, then you need to turn that area on. When protection is no longer required for an area then you need to turn that
area off.

The areas protected by the Concept 2000 system all have names so that you can recognize what they are. These names
can be chosen by you so that you can easily recognize the area you are protecting.

Examples of area names are:
FRANKS SHED OFFICE HOUSE AND GARAGE

E.D.P. CENTER WAREHOUSE ADMINISTRATION

USERS

The Concept 2000 can be operated by one or more persons who are called users.

All users, who are allowed to operate your Concept 2000 , have names so that the Concept 2000 can recognize who is
using the system. These names can be chosen by you so that you can easily recognize what user you are referring to.

Examples of user names are:
FRANK THRING SALLY FIELDS ALAN BOND

ZONES

The Concept 2000 protects an Area with special alarm detectors called Zones.
These alarm detectors are designed to register un-authorized movement in the protected Area.

The Zones all have names, chosen by you, so that you can recogni ze which Zone is which.

Example of Zone names are :­ FAMILY ROOM SLIDING DOOR FRANKS SHED WINDOW

COMPUTER ROOM PIR REAR FIRE EXIT DOOR LIFT LOBBY PIR

ON And OFF

The most common operation performed on the Concept 2000 is a User (eg. FRANK THRING )
turning an Area ( eg. FRANKS SHED) either On to protect the Area, or Off to access the Area.

Each Area ( eg. FRANKS SHED) may have one or more Zones ( eg. FRANKS SHED WINDOW)
used to protect that Area when the Area is turned On.

TERMINAL

All Concept 2000 operations, such as turning On and Off Areas, are carried out at a Terminal.
The Concept 2000 may have up to eight (8) Terminals connected and any Terminal may be used to operate the system.
A terminal is referred to in two parts, the keypad which is used to enter your User code and operate the system and a

display window, immediately above the keypad, which is used to display messages from the system to the User.
The first step in using a Terminal is to enter your own secret code using the digit keys on the keypad, and then pressing

the OK key. The Concept 2000 will now work out who you are and greet you by displaying your name in the display
window.

After a few seconds the Concept 2000 will now display the name of the Area that you are allowed to turn On or Off.
The display window is used to tell you what the system is doing. Sometimes the message to be displayed is larger than

will fit in the display window. If this occurs, the message will automatically scroll slowly to the left so that you can read
it.

An important feature of the Concept 2000 panel is the use of the HELP key. When the HELP key is pressed, the
Concept 2000 panel will display a “ help message” on the panel operation you are currently performing.

If you are not sure what to do next, when using the Concept 2000, then press the HELP key.

Description Of The Keys

The Concept 2000 is controlled by using the keypad located below the display window.

Each time a key is pressed the Concept 2000 will emit a short “beep” to indicate that the key was accepted.
You may press the keys as fast as you like but, only one key should be pressed at a time.
If the Concept 2000 emits a “long beep” when a key is pressed it means that the key was not accepted or is not allowed.
The keypad has 20 keys, all of which are listed below with a brief explanation of their purpose,

The HELP key is used to display a “help message”, on the current operation being performed, by the user. The HELP
key can be pressed at any time. If no help is available on the current item then the display window will not alter. When
you have finished looking at the “help message”, press any digit key.

The digit keys are used for entering your secret code before using the Concept 2000. When entering your secret code,
you have 15 seconds to press each digit. When you have entered all of the digits of your secret code, you must press the
OK key. No Concept 2000 panel operations can be carried out until you have entered your secret code and pushed the
OK key.

Each key has letters associated letters with the digits. By using familiar words, these letters can be used to help you
remember your secret code.

For example; the word “FRANK” could be used to help you remember the secret code comprising of the digits “2”, “6”,
“1”, “5” and “4”

The OK key is pressed after you have entered your secret c ode. You have 1 5 seconds to press the OK key once you have
completed entering your secret code. Pressing the OK key tells the Concept 2000 to check the secret code you have just
entered.

The END key is used when you have finished using the Concept 2000 panel, or if you make a mistake whilst entering
your secret code. Once the END key is pushed, you must enter your secret code again.

During normal operations, if the Concept 2000 detects no key presses for more than 15 seconds, then the Concept 2000
will automatically “press” the END key and you will have to re-enter your secret code again.

The ON key is used to turn On the Area whose name is being displayed in the display window.

The OFF key is used to turn Off the Area whose name is being displayed in the display window.

The MENU key is used if you wish to perform other Concept 2000 operations apart from turning Areas On or Off. (Of
course you must have already entered your secret code plus the OK key.)

When the MENU key is pushed, the Concept 2000 will list, in the display window, the other operations you are allowed
to perform.

The MENU key is not used during normal operation. If you press it by accident then press the “O” key or the END key.

The LEFT and RIGHT arro w keys are optionally used during normal operations to control scrolling messages in the
display window. Each time the LEFT arrow is pushed, the scrolling message will start again from the beginning. If the
scrolling is too fast, or too slow, use the RIGHT arrow to step the message one letter at a time, or, hold down the
RIGHT arrow to speed up the scrolling message. Most scrolling messages will scroll 3 times.

You do not need to use these keys during scrolling messages if you do not want to. The speed of scrolling messages is
set to your reading rate and when the scrolling message reaches the end it will start again, from the beginning
automatically.

The UP and DOWN arrow keys are normally used by persons who are allowed to turn On or off more than one Area. If
the Area name in the display window is not the Area you wish to turn On or Off then, pressing the UP or DOWN arrows
repeatedly, the display window will show the names of all Areas that this User is allowed to operate.

The UP and DOWN arrow keys are also used in other Concept 2000 panel operations such as Review and Change
Codes.

Operating your System

3.1 Turning An Area On Or Off

The most common operation of the Concept 2000 panel is turning On or Off Areas. To turn On or Off an Area you must
first enter your secret code then press the OK key.

As the digits of your secret code are entered the display window will show each digit as a “#” character:

If you make a mistake, press the END key and start again.
After the OK key is pressed, the Concept 2000 will work out who you are and will display a short greeting message such

as:

After a few seconds, the Concept 2000 will work out and display which Area you would normally turn On and Off and
whether that Area is currently On or Off.

For example:

You may now press either the ON key to turn the Area On, or the OFF key to turn the Area Off.
If you do not wish to turn t he Area On or Off, you may finish panel operat i ons by pressing the END key, or you may

press the MENU key to perform other panel operations. (See “Other panel Operations”)
Some Users may be allowed to control more than one Area. If you can control more than one Area, and the Area name

shown on the display is not the Area you wish to control, then by pressing the up or DOWN arrow keys, the Concept
2000 will display all of the Area you are allowed to turn On or Off.

Alternatively, if you know the Area number you wish to operate, simply press the number of the Area you wish to
control.

When the Area being shown is correct, you may press the ON key or the OFF key to turn On or Off that Area.

3.2 Multiple Area User

Some Users may be asked which Area they wish to operate and the display window will show:

The second line of the display window will show all the Areas that you are allowed to turn On or Off. Simply press the
number of the Area you wish to operate.

When an Area is turned On, the Concept 2000 will first check all of the Zones that are used to protect that Area and see
that they are currently ready to be armed. (Sealed) If there is a problem with any Zone, the Concept 2000 will display
the name of the faulty Zone so that the User may go and rectify the problem.

• For example; if “FRANKS SHED WINDOW’ was open when “FRANK THRING” went to turn On “FRANKS

SHED”, then the Concept 2000 would display the following message:

“FRANKS SHED WINDOW is un-sealed. Please secure zone and press ON or press END”
FRANK THRING must go and shut the window and then try again by pressing ON. If FRANK took too long in shutting

the window, he may have to start again by re-entering hi s User code.

3.3 Isolating Zones On Exit

Some Users may be allowed to Isolate the un-sealed Zone which will then prevent the Zone from detecting movement
for the period that the Area is turned On.

If FRANK THRING was allowed to Isolate Zones then the display would show:

! “FRANKS SHED WINDOW is un-sealed. Please secure zone and press ON or isolate this zone by pressing OK.

Press END to abort”

FRANK THRING may go and shut the window and then try again by pressing ON or FRANK can Isolate FRANKS
SHED WINDOW by pressing the OK key.

3.4 Turning On/Off More Than One Area

Some Users, who can operate more than one Area, may wish to turn On or Off all their Areas at once. This can be done
by pushing the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys when an Area is being displayed.

The display window will now show:

By pressing the ON key, all Areas you are allowed to control will automatically turn On, one by one, if they are Off.
By pressing the OFF key, all Areas you are allowed to control will automatically turn Off, one by one, if they are On.
If some of the Areas are already Off or On, then the Terminal will “beep” and the display window will show that the

“Area is already Off”, or, the “Area is already On”.

3.5 SPECIAL AREAS - AREA 0 AND AREA 9

The Concept 2000 has ten (10) Areas which may all be turned both On and Off. These Areas are numbered from 0 to 9
and all have names so that you can easily recognize which Areas they are.

Area 0 and Area 9 are two special Areas that are normally turned On at all times.
Area 0 is often named “TAMPER AREA” whilst Area 9 is often named “SYSTEM AREA”. Both of these Areas are

used to protect the Concept 2000 from any un-authorized tampering.
If an alarm occurs in Area 0 or Area 9, then the Area may be turned Off to silence the sirens if they are sounding. If

sirens are not sounding, then you needn’t turn Off the Area but rather just acknowledge the Alarm. (See
“Acknowledging alarms” )

A User must be able to control Area 0 and Area 9 before “Tamper Area” or “System Area” alarms can be
acknowledged.

You must remember to turn Area 0 and Area 9 back On. If they are not turned On, the Concept 2000 will be vulnerable
to tampering and SYSTEM SECURITY WILL BE SEVERELY COM PROMISED.

When turning on Area 0 or Area 9, any problems will be displayed if they are present.
DO NOT TURN ON AREA 0 OR AREA 9 IF A PROBLEM IS DISPLAYED, WITHOUT FIRST RECTIFYING THE

PROBLEM.

• Note: If the OK key is pressed, when a problem is displayed, you will cause an alarm immediately which may sound

the sirens.

3.6 ACKNOWLEDGING ALARM MESSAGES

When an alarm occurs in an Area which is turned On, the Concept 2000 will often display an alarm message on the
Terminal. The alarm message will identify the name of the Zone which caused the alarm and the name of the Area that
contains the alarmed Zone.

The alarm message will be continuously displayed, in the display window, until the alarm message has been
acknowledged by a User.

Any User can acknowledge the alarm message as long as that User can control the Area in which the alarm occurred.
The User simply enters their secret code and then presses the OK key to acknowledge the alarm.

The User will often want to turn the Area Off so that he/she can gain access. Because you need to enter your secret code
and press OK before you can turn the Area Off, any alarm messages for that Area will be automatically acknowledged.

If more than one alarm occurs in a single Area, only the last Alarm is displayed.
If alarms occur in more than one Area, then each alarm needs to be acknowledged separately.

3.7 TURNING OFF SIRENS

If an alarm occurs in an Area that is programmed to sound the sirens, the sirens will sound for 10 minutes (or the time
set by the Installer) before turning Off automatically. The sirens can be turned Off earlier by any User simply entering
their secret code and pressing the OK key as long as that User is allowed to operate the Area which caused the sirens to
sound.

IMPORTANT; THE SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN TURNED OFF.

YOU HAVE ONLY TURNED THE SIRENS OFF. IF ANOTHER ALARM OCCURS THEN THE SIRENS WILL
OPERATE AGAIN. YOU MUST TURN THE AREA WHICH CAUSED THE ALARM OFF TO PREVENT
FURTHER SIREN ACTIVATIONS.
