Glossary
An action allows the ZeroWire to perform automation functions. These can monitor
the status up to 4 input conditions called Action Events, change state (Action State),
and perform a function (Action Result) such as arming a range of areas.
An action group is one or more actions that can be accessed by a device or user.
They are assigned to a user or device via permissions.
Zones are grouped into area
s which can be secured independently from each other.
This allows you to split your security system in to smaller components that can be
separately managed. For example your system can be divided into an upstairs area
and downstairs area.
Group
An area group is one or more areas that can be accessed by a device or user. They
are assigned to a user or device via permissions.
To turn your security system On.
-Disarm
Automatically arm and disarm areas by a specific user according to a specified
schedule. The areas armed and disarmed will be the ones that the user has access
to via their permissions.
To turn your security system on when you are leaving the premises.
Zones can be temporarily disabled so they will not be monitored by the securit y
system. For example, an interior door is l eft open, bypass it to temporarily ignor e i t
and allow arming of the security system. Bypassed zones are not capable of
activating an alarm. Zones wil
l return to normal operation when the system is armed
then disarmed. This prevents unintentional permanent disabling of a zone.
A company to which alarm signals are se nt during an alarm report. Also known as
Central Monitoring Station (CMS).
A channel is a communication path for events to be sent from the ZeroWire panel to
a selected destination. Channels can be set to UltraSync or Email.
A channel has an associated event list which contains the events it is allowed t o
forward on.
A channel group is one or more destinatio ns for event messages to be sent to.
When a message is sent to a channel group, it is sent to all the channels that it
contains. It forms the basis of multi -path reporting in ZeroWire.
All the zones that will activate chime, when in chime mode.
An operational mode that will emit a ding-dong sound at the keypad when specific
zones are activated.
The communicator is responsible for notifying a control room or third party that an
alarm event has occurred so an appropriate response can be made.
It sends event messages to the specifi ed destination including details such as where
the event originated from and the t ype of event. The receiver will then log the time
and date when it receives the event. For example, Alarm from Zone 2 in Area 1 at
3:00am on 5/5/2014 from Account 1234.
ZeroWire has multiple communicator options including Ethernet IP inter face, email,
and 3G (with optional cellular radio m odule).
To turn your security system Off.
A predetermined user PIN code that will arm / disarm the security system whilst
sending a special code to the central monitoring station indicating the user is
entering / leaving the premises under duress. Only applicable on monitored
systems.

The time allowed to disarm your security system after the first detection device has
been activated.
Events are messages that are sent by the ZeroWire due to system or area
conditions. These include areas in alarm, opening and closing, zone bypass, low
battery, tamper, communication trouble, and power issues.
Event lists contain events that a channel is allowed to send to the specified
destination. If a channel receives an event that is not in the associated event list,
then the channel will ignore the event.
The time allowed to exit the premises after the security system is armed.
An option that permits arming even when there are unsealed pre-selected zones.
Generally assigned to zones that cover the ZeroWire (e.g.; motion zones, front door
reed switches), allowing the user to arm the security system without the need to wait
for those zones to be sealed. A security system that is ready to be “force armed” will
A PIN code that is used by a user to arm or disarm the security system. Its main
feature is the ability to create, alter and delete user PIN codes. Can also be used as
a function code for all features.
ZeroWire has a large range of features sorted into various menus such as Users,
System, and Zones. Each menu item can be seen when using the ZeroWire Web
Server or the UltraSync + app.
Menus are used to restrict what is displayed by a device and what features a user
has access to.
A security system that is configured to send all alarm signals to a central monitoring
station.
Outputs on the ZeroWire panel can be connected to a siren and strobe when an
alarm condition occurs on the system.
Typically this refers to zones located around the boundary of the protected area
such as zones on doors and windows, and exc l udes interior motion zones.
A permission includes a list of features a user or device is allowed to access. This
includes programming menus, areas, r eporting channels, actions, reporti ng options,
access control options, special opt ions, and special timers.
Each user can have up to four (4) permis sion profiles. Each profile contains a set of
permissions and a corresponding sc hedule. This allows advanced user
programming and provides specifi c access to different features of the secur ity
system during specific dates/time.
With advanced programming, profiles can be enabled/disabled in response to
system conditions.
An option that allows you to turn on (arm) the security system by touching the
[AWAY] key.
Each scene can trigger up to 16 actions to c reate an automation event. This can
save users time by automatically running multiple actions. A scene can be triggered
manually, through a schedule, or via a system event.
A schedule is a list of up to 16 sets of days and times. Typically these are used to
provide access to users only within the specified sets of days and times. Outside of
the schedule a user will not have access to t he system.
Schedules are used to automatically arm and disarm specified areas using the ArmDisarm feature.
Scenes can perform a set of actions according to a specified schedule.
Schedules themselves can be enabl ed and disabled through actions. T his powerful
feature allows you to provide conditi onal access to various users and devices based

ZeroWire Installation Manual 17
A zone in a normal state is “sealed”. The security system monitors each zone for
changes in state from sealed to unseal ed and can respond with certain actions such
as sounding the siren.
For example, a reed switch on a front door may change from a sealed state to an
unsealed state when the door opens.
The installation / maintenance com pany servicing your security system.
To turn your security system on when you are staying in the premises, this will
automatically bypass pre-programmed zones and arm others. Often used to arm
only the perimeter while allowing mov em ent inside the premises.
A physical switch on a device that detec ts unauthorised access to the unit. F or
example opening the case of a zone or taking a keypad off the wall can trigger a
tamper alarm. This can provide early warning of someone attempting to undermine
the security of your system. Some devices use an optical zone to detect removal
from a surface.
Each token is a pre-recorded word or phrase that can be used to name zones,
areas, outputs, and rooms.
Each token is identified by a token numb er and a full list of tokens is in the "Voice
Library" on page 106.

from your ZeroWire to a Central Monitoring Station. It also provides secure
connections between the UltraSync + app, ZeroWire, and cameras. No
programming, email addresses, us er names, or PIN codes are stored on these
servers for greater security.
A zone in an abnormal state is “unsealed”. The security system monitors each zone
for changes in state from sealed to uns ealed and can respond with certain actions
such as sounding the siren.
For example, when a PIR zone detects movem ent it will change from a sealed state
to an unsealed state.
An authorised person who can interact with the ZeroWire security system and
perform various tasks according to t he permissions assigned to them.
Each ZeroWire user has a set of profile levels. These control what the user has
access to, a list of functions, and when the user is allowed to perform these
functions.
A user is typically a person who is assigned a PIN code and arms/disarms the
system with this code or keyfob devic e.
Users can also be automatic functions of the system. For example, ZeroWire can
automatically arm specific area
s a user has access to at a specified time. No human
interaction is required; all the permis sions of the programmed user will still be
applied and enforced.

Setting Up Connections
Selecting a Permanent Connection Mode
Select a method to connect your ZeroWire to a network so it can report events via
UltraSync, and allow you to configure settings using the built-in Web Server or UltraSync +
app.
1. Wireless LAN Setup – this connects the ZeroWire to a local WiFi network. You will
need to provide an internet connection and wireless router for the permanent
connection. A mobile device such as a smart phone or tablet is needed to set up this
connection.
2. Wired LAN Setup – this is the easiest to set up but requires a physical Ethernet
connection to the ZeroWire. You will need to also provide an Ethernet router and an
internet connection for reporting and remote access.
To select between Wireless LAN or Wired LAN modes:
1.
Select main menu - Option 9, Advanced system
configuration.
2.
Enter your Installer code.
3.
Toggle between Wireless LAN and Wired LAN
connection modes.
4.
Exits from Advanced system configuration menu.
3. 3G Cellular Radio Setup – this provides a plug and play connection to UltraSync
servers for secure reporting with no configuration needed in most cases. The only
requirement is good mobile phone reception.
To connect via Cellular Radio you only need to plug in the cellular radio module.

Troubleshooting
If the connection does not work or you cannot get an IP address, close the web browser
on your phone, and restart your wireless router, and start again from step 1.
Sometimes settings on your wireless router may prevent a connection. Check:
• WiFi router allows b and g connections. Some newer routers will have these off at
factory default. Some 802.11n access points may not accept 802.11g connections.
• it is within range and has good signal, otherwise a WiFi range extender may help
• the wireless router has DHCP enabled
• does not have firewall or security rules that prevent additional connections
• IP addresses are available, for example connect a new device to it and verify it has an
internet connection
