Introduction

LIMITATION

This control is designed to warn against unauthorized entry and other situations. However, it is not a guarantee of protection against the occurrence of burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or failure to warn for various reasons. For example:

- Unauthorized access can be gained through unprotected points or by disarming or bypassing protected points.

- Sensing devices are power driven and do not operate without electrical power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.

- Telephone lines over which alarm signals are transmitted may be out of service or rendered inoperable by an intruder.

- Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.

- Smoke detectors have limitations and cannot detect all types of fires. According to data published by authorities Agency, while smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, . Some of the reasons some detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending an the nature of the fire, and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death..

- Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.

- Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.

- Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowner, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.

- A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.

- Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 32 to 40C, (90 to 105F) the detection performance can decrease.

- Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearingimpaired people.

- This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as 20 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

- The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm

system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.

Use of this control for fire detection and/or annunciation may not be permitted by certain states, counties, municipalities or local jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the installing alarm company to check with the local A.H.J. (Authority Having Jurisdiction) or State Fire Services office prior to using this control for fire detection.

WARNING

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE SHALL BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

CAUTION

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE

INSTRUCTIONS.

ADSL NOTICE ADSL broadband data can interfere with the operation of your alarm dialler. It is recommended that a quality ADSL filter be installed as per the filter manufacturer’s guidelines in all premises with an alarm

dialler installed.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming

Section 1 - Installation and Wiring

1.1 Planning the Installation

The first step in any multi-zone security system installation is planning the job.

1. Read this entire manual to familiarize yourself with all system features and procedures before actually beginning the installation. Read all the information regarding Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and NFPA requirements.

2. Perform a physical survey of the installation site. Use the diagrams below as a guide in planning the installation.

3. Discuss the installation requirements and applications with the customer.

4. Compare the installation requirements and applications with the factory default settings to determine what customized programming is needed to meet the specific installation requirements.

5. Bench test the system prior to installation.

1.3 Mounting and Wiring Preparation

Control Mounting

Remove all packing material and familiarize yourself with the parts. Mount the control in a secure, dry location where the ambient temperature inside the control box can remain at 0’ to +49' Celsius (32‘ to 120° Fahrenheit). Choose a location that allows easy wiring to an unswitched power outlet and to a grounding conductor for the control. A central location makes running system wiring easier. Remove control box knockouts that best suit your wiring needs. Mount the control using the upper center slotted hole to level. Install and connect all necessary wiring for the power transformer, detection loops, keypads and siren outputs.

Keypad Mounting and Wiring

Ideal keypad height is 1400mm - 1500mm (50-58”) above the floor. Select a location with an ambient temperature range between 32° and 120° F (0° to +49° C). Avoid direct sunlight if possible. Fasten mounting plate to electrical box (or directly to wall) using flat head screws to prevent shorts to the back of the circuit board. Keypads have a removable wiring plug for connecting to the 4-wire data bus. CAT5 or CAT6 eight (8) conductor cable is recommended for all Data Bus cables. The extra wires provide data return paths. Splice the Black, Red, White, and Green wires from the removable wiring plug to the Data Bus cable. Plug the connector into the back of the keypad. Tuck wires neatly into back plate and install Keypad on mounting plate. Each keypad has connections for an optional programmable output and a programmable zone input.

1.4 Control Wiring

Zone Inputs (1 thru 8 on main board, 17 thru 208 via expanders)

Zones Z1 thru Z8 are on the main board, others are in groups of 16, starting with Z17. Each 2 zones share a common negative terminal. A zone may be programming for EOL resistor supervision (Default), or normally closed/normally open without a resistor. In addition, Burglar and Keyswitch zones may be programmed for EOL with Security Alert on Short, or EOL with Security Alert on Open/Short, also referred to as a Four (4) State Zone (firmware 4.3.5 or later). If EOL resistors are used, they should be placed at the furthest most remote end of the detection device wiring. EOL zones permit a combination of N.C. (normally closed) or N.O. (normally open) devices. Using voltage meter probes across the zone and com terminals, a

non-violated EOL zone will measures approx. 7.0 VDC. An open circuit will be approx. 13.8 VDC. A shorted circuit will be 0 VDC. The Keypad also provides the ability “Menu 8 “System Diagnostics” to view zone voltage.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming

Two-Wire Smoke Zones (Zone 8)

To enable the use of two-wire smoke detectors on Zone 8, move Jumper JP1 to the 2 wire smoke position. Go to the installer programming mode, Menu 05 - Zone Definitions, and program Zone 8 as a Fire zone (Def=10). Program the Wire Type as a 6.

NOTE Use only compatible two-wire detectors as recommended by Ness. Do not mix brands. When jumper JP1 is set for two-wire operation, a 680 Ohm EOL resistor (furnished in the hardware pack) must be used instead of the 2,200 Ohm. Maximum wire resistance must not exceed 60 Ohms.

Switched Power Connection (+VSMK)

Four-wire smoke detector and other devices that require a temporary power disruption in order to reset or unlatch from the alarm state (i.e. smoke detectors, etc.) should be connected to the +VSMK 12 Volt DC switched power terminal. When a smoke reset is performed, the operating voltage to these devices is momentarily interrupted.

Auxiliary Power Connections (+VAUX)

Motion detectors, glass breaks, etc. and other devices requiring unswitched 24-hour power should be connected to one of the auxiliary terminals, +VAUX. All negative terminals on the terminal strip are at the same reference and may be used whenever a common (circuit ground) negative is required. Use caution when wiring the control to distribute the load devices among the supply and the negative terminals evenly. NOTE: Circuit ground refers to any negative terminal connection on this control.

This does not refer to earth ground or to the common terminal of the relay output.. These are not at the same voltage potential and should not be wired so that they are electrically connected to a negative.

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Circuit Breakers

The +VAUX Auxiliary power and J16 power output terminals are protected against shorts and overloads by a 1.25A PTC. A PTC is a solid state, auto-restoring type of circuit breaker. The +VSMK Switched (Smoke) power output is protected by a 1.1A PTC. The +12VKP Keypad power output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. The alarm output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. NOTE:

Sometimes it may be necessary to remove power (unplug the outputs) for approx. 20 seconds after a short, to allow the PTC to reset. Even if the short is no longer present, the remaining residual current draw may be so high that the PTC cannot determine that the short is gone. If the PTC re-trips, check the field wiring and repair.

Transformer Primary Power Input (AC)

The control is powered by a 16.5 VAC, 40 min. VA, UL Listed Class II (power limited) transformer (TRG1640). The specified sized and rated transformer must be used to operate this control. The transformer must be connected to a 240 VAC, 24-hour outlet not controlled by a switch other than an approved overcurrent protection device.

Sealed Lead Acid Battery

12Volt - 5Ah min. (ELK-1250) NOTE: See UL requirements for standby times and battery sizes. The control is capable of charging up to an 18Ah battery.

Test battery regularly with ELK-BLT Batte ry Life Test er. Replace every 3-5 years

Connect the transformer to the AC Terminals using 16 to 18 gauge minimun wire. Do not exceed 50 feet between the transformer and the control or run the AC power in a multiconductor with other system circuits. Leave the transformer unplugged as well as the standby battery until all other connections have been made.

Standby Battery Connection

Connect the BLACK wire to the Neg (-) terminal on the battery, the connect the RED wire to the Pos (+) terminal on the battery. The control is designed to operate with and recharge a 12 volt, sealed lead acid battery from 5Ah up to 18 Ah for backup of the primary power supply. The control maintains a float charge for the battery of 13.8 VDC at 100 mA. This is in addition to the continuous output of 1.5 Amps that the power supply maintains (see maximum current drains for UL Listed Systems).

CAUTION: Do not reverse the battery leads! The control has special circuitry which helps protect it from battery reversal damage for short durations. However, prolonged reversal of the battery leads may cause permanent damage.

AC Failure, Low Battery, and Automatic Low Voltage Shutdown

During an AC power failure the battery automatically takes over and AC Fail trouble annunciates at the keypad. The communicator can be programmed to report AC Fail to the Central Station after a time delay (see Menu 12, System Option 01).

If the battery voltage falls below 11.2 VDC a Low Battery Trouble condition will occur. The communicator can be programmed to report Low Battery to the Central Station. The battery will continue to run the control until its voltage reaches 10.5 VDC, at which time the control will disconnect and shut down to prevent a false alarm and damage to the battery. The AC Fail trouble display will clear if the AC restores. However, the Low Battery Trouble requires a manual or automatic battery load test before it will clear. An automatic battery load test is performed every 24 hours. See Section 2.2 for powering up the control.

Telephone Line Connection (R1,T1,T,R)

The telephone interface is connected by the use of an approved Mode 3 Socket (e.g. Ness part no. 100-716). This device allows the subscriber to disconnect the control/communicator from the public switched telephone network in the event of a malfunction. The control is equipped with line seizure so that the premises telephone service is interrupted during communication to the central station.

Outputs

There are 12 outputs on the main board. In programming these are numbered Out2, Out3, and Out 7 thru 16. The total outputs may be expanded utilizing output expander boards connected to the RS-485 4-wire Keypad data bus. The Alarm Output (Out 2) trips when any alarm is activated. All others must be enabled through the RP Rules Programming and can be triggered by multiple conditions “events”. Do not exceed the current limits on voltage only outputs.

Output 2 is a traditional Alarm output. It is factory set to produce alarm siren sounds into standard 8 Ohm speakers (never go below a total connected load of 4 Ohms). It can be alternately programmed to produce voltage only (12VDC) for driving selfcontained sirens or siren driver boards

Output 3 is a Single Pole Double Throw Relay with form “C” contacts (Com, N/O, and N/C).

Outputs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are low current, (10mA ) positive (+) voltage only, for driving LEDs, relays, etc. Outputs 1, 4, 5, and 6 ARE NOT available from the main board. They can only be accessed with a data bus Output expander set to address 1. This expander will replicate all the main board outputs, including outputs 4, 5, and 6.

Suggested to use Ness Sensitive relay modules (101-284 (Individual relay)) for connection to J16 when relay contacts are required in lou of the Voltage outputs.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT USE M1RB relay board (101-213) as these outputs are low current at 10mA.

Tests and studies have determined that the best results against lightning and transients are obtained by isolating the control from ground. Do NOT connect any of the terminals, especially the Neg. terminals to earth ground. However, ancilliary devices such as a Ness Surge Protector on the incoming Telephone circuit are still recommended.

Keypad & Expanders on the RS-485 Data Bus (+12VKP, Data A, Data B, Neg)

Keypads and data bus expander devices connect to the four terminals marked +VKP, Data A, Data B, and Neg. The keypad plug-in wire harness coulor code is: Red +VKP, Green Data A, White Data B, and Black (-) Neg. The +12VKP power terminal is protected by an auto reset PTC device. In the event of a short circuit or malfunction, power will be removed from all devices until the problem is resolved.

Data Bus E.O.L. Termination - VERY IMPORTANT!

The control features a true RS-485 “differential” data bus operating at 38,400 bits per second. This is relatively high speed by industry standards and ensures fast, accurate communications. With this speed, EOL data bus terminating resistors are required to eliminate the possibility of reflection errors caused by varying cable lengths. Every data bus device; keypad, zone expander, etc. and the control board has a built-in bus terminating resistor (120 Ohm) which is installed (activated) via a 2 pin header/jumper (2 Gold Pins). The hardware pack includes two black shorting caps. When one of the shorting caps is placed on the two gold pins, it installs (activates) the 120 Ohm terminating resistor across Data Lines A & B. Terminating resistors are marked JP2 on the keypads and JP1 on the expanders. From the factory, no terminating resistors are installed (activated).

WARNING! The RS-485 Data Bus must NEVER have more than 2 terminating resistors header/jumpers installed.

Ideally, there should be no more than 2 home run cables (4 wire) with daisy chained devices along each. The last device on each cable MUST have a terminating resistor installed (activated) via the gold 2 pin header/jumpers marked JP2 on keypads, JP1 on expanders. Place a black shorting cap (see hardware pack) onto the 2 gold pins to install a 120 Ohm resistor across data lines A & B. If there is only 1 data bus cable place a shorting cap on JP3 of Main Board. See alternate hookups below.

For those that prefer to home run wires, use 6 or 8 conductor (CAT5 is ideal) cable. At each device, make a three way splice of the data A, the device A wire (terminal), and a return data A1 wire (using one of the extra wires). At the control, make a two way splice of the data A1 return wire (series connection) to the outgoing data A wire of the next cable. Repeat for the data B wire. Remember to install a terminating jumper on the last wired device and the control JP3 ONLY! Electrically the data wires are now in series. Connect the POS (+) and Neg (-) power wires of each device directly to the M1’s +VKP and Neg terminals. DO NOT SERIES THE POWER WIRES as this will cause unnecessary voltage loss.

Setting the Data Bus Address and Enrolling Device(s) into the System

Keypads and expander devices communicate over the RS-485 4-wire data bus. Each device must have a unique address setting (from 1 to 16) within it's device type. Keypads are TYPE 1, input (zone) expanders TYPE 2, output expanders TYPE 3, etc. The purpose of device types is so that the address numbers can be re-used in each different device type. It’s OK to have a Keypad, Zone Expander, and Output Expander all set to address 2 and on the same data bus since each device is a different device type. It is NOT OK to have duplications of addresses within the same device type. I.E. Multiple keypads on the same

control cannot be set to 'like' addresses.

ADDRESS: From the factory all keypads are set to address 1. Valid addresses are 1 to 16. The first keypad on the system

(Keypad 1) is automatically enrolled upon power up. Each additional keypad must be assigned a unique address and then manually enrolled from “Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment”. (See Menu 01, for complete instructions on Bus Module Enrollment)

1. Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 seconds or until the LCD displays: Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)

NOTE: An alternate method is to remove power from the keypad and then power up while holding any key pressed.

2. Press the F1 key to display the current address setting.

3. Set the desired address (from 1 to 16) by using the Up or Down arrow keys.

4. Press the Exit key twice when done.

ENROLLING:

1. Press the “MENU” key, then

9 (or scroll up) to display 9 - Installation Programming. Press the RIGHT arrow key to select this menu. The Installer Program Code must be entered to access this menu.

2. Enter the Installer Program Code. (The default code is 172839)

3. The first Installer Programming menu displayed will be "Bus Module Enrollment"

4. Press the RIGHT arrow key to select this menu. "Enrolling Bus Modules" will display

5. After a few seconds the display will show the total Bus Modules that are enrolled. To view the enrolled devices and/or remove a device press the RIGHT arrow key next to the word Edit.

6. Press the * or Exit keys to exit Installer Programming.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming

Section 2 - Operating the System

2.1 Introduction

For best operation during bench testing, all zones should be terminated with end of line resistors and the correct transformer and battery should be connected to the unit. The control comes with factory default programming, allowing it to be bench tested prior to installation. The factory default code for user 1 is 3456. This code is authorized to operate all user related features of the system. The control is designed to accommodate the grouping of specific zones into partitions called areas and by default, all zones are assigned to area #1. This is the most common mode in which the system operates. This section of the manual gives an overview of powering up and basic keypad functioning.

2.2 Powering Up (One Keypad)

After all other connections have been made and checked thoroughly, the controls AC transformer and battery may be connected. Upon power up the control will perform self-diagnostics and auto-enroll the first keypad (Keypad Address #1). Any additional keypads or expanders must be manually enrolled using Installer Level Programming. See “Menu 01 - Bus Module Enrollment”.

NOTE: It is very important to make certain that every keypad, input expander, output expander, or any other data bus device be assigned a unique data bus address within its type. See “MENU 01 - Bus Module Enrollment” for instructions on setting keypad and expander addresses.

2.3 User Codes and Authorities

The control has 99 user passcodes plus one installer passcode. Each user code may be assigned specific authorities as to what it is allowed to do. The authorities are assigned from the Installer level programming, however the code numbers and user name is assigned from the keypad user menu 6 - Change User Codes. Only a Master authority level code or the Installer code is allowed to access keypad user menu 6. The User’s Guide contains a description of panel operations accessible to the user codes. Control operations accessed by the installer passcode are slightly different.

The Factory Default Code for User Code 1 is: 3 4 5 6 (Master Code)

(If the six digit code option is enabled, User Code 1 default will then be: 1 2 3 4 5 6)

The user code may be used for functions in a specific area or system-wide. Some options may be performed at any time, even while the control is fully or partially armed. The menu system is designed to be next-step-oriented. After a brief explanation of the options, the user should be able to begin operating the system immediately. For purposes of discussion, the installer and the end consumer are both considered users, but have different capabilities.

2.4 Installer Program Code and Authorities

The installer code can access all the keypad user menus, including of course menu 9 - Installation Programming. The Installer code also has limited arm/disarm privileges. It may be used to arm any area and may be used to disarm any area, so long as that area was armed specifically by the installer code. The Installer code cannot disarm if an area was armed by any user code. The Installer code may be used to silence 24hr alarms or a Burglary alarm in an area that was armed by the installer or in an area that is not armed. The installer code may also be used to silence a trouble condition in a disarmed area. See User’s Guide for a full description of arming and disarming procedures.

The Factory Default Installer Program Code is: 1 7 2 8 3 9

2.5 Keypad Overview

Ready Light - This light is ON when all zones are secure and the system is OK for arming. If this light is OFF, one or more zones are violated

(not secure). For maximum security, all zones should be secured before the system is armed.

If FLASHING, one or more “force-armable” zones are violated. Force arming temporarily excludes violated zone(s) from the system. However, if a force armed zone becomes secure while the system is armed, it will automatically restore to service.

Armed Light- This light will be ON when the system is armed. The mode of arm will be indicated by the LCD display and the Exit or Stay lighted pushbuttons. This light will be OFF when the system is disarmed.

Exit Key - This key may be programmed for single or double press arming to the AWAY (not occupied) mode. If the Exit light is ON the system is armed and all perimeter sensors and interior motions are active. The Away key may be pressed during the exit delay time t to convert from Away mode to Away Vacation mode. The Away Vacation mode is primarily for use with the Whenever/And/Then Rules program-

NessRP to invoke long term energy savings.

ming of

Stay Key - This lighted key may be programmed for single or double press arming to the STAY (occupied) mode. If the Stay light is ON the system is armed and all interior zones are excluded (bypassed). Only perimeter doors and windows are active in the Stay mode. This key may also be programmed to change to other Stay modes such as: Stay Instant, Stay Night, and Stay Night Instant. Since interior zones are automatically excluded once the Stay mode is activated, the M1 allows this key to Stay arm even while one or more interior zones are violated, provided they are programmed for “force arming”. The Stay Night mode re-activates any interior night zones. To prevent a false alarm the control will not allow change to the Stay Night mode when a interior night zone is violated unless it is programmed for “Force arm”.

Chime Key - Chime produces an audible tone alert whenever certain doors, windows, or other selected zones are violated. There are two selections: Tone only and Off. Whenever Chime in On the Chime key will be illuminated. In the programming mode the Chime key also functions as an insert character key for text programming.

Bypass Key - Pressing this key followed by a zone number and the bypass key again will exclude or bypass the selected zone. This key may also be used to delete a character during text programming. When the Bypass key is lit, one or more zones are bypassed.

* Key - This key serves as a clear or reset key. If an error is made while entering digits, pressing this key clears the error. Three presses is a master clear.

# Key - This key is currently a duplicate of the Bypass key.

Numerical Keys - These keys are used for entry of passcodes, programming, etc. Keys 2 - 9 also have an assigned alpha character

which are used for entering text. Arrow Keys - The

“MENU” and arrow keys have powerful functionality used for both normal operation and programming. Pressing the

“MENU” key displays relative information according to each application. The arrow keys allow scrolling through all available options. The

user can activate or select the displayed option by pressing the right arrow key. Once an option has been selected, the user may be prompted for a passcode. Additional sub-menu options may appear to assist. The user may return to the status screen by pressing the * key.

MAPPING TO AN INDIVIDUAL AREA

Enter an area number from 1 to 8 OR scroll UP and DOWN with the arrow keys.

Press the Right Arrow key to map the Keypad to the area shown. The LCD display and

r

the Ready / Armed LEDs will show the status for the mapped area for 1 minute. During this minute, it is possible to arm, disarm, bypass, etc. the mapped area from this keypad. Each time a key is pressed the 1 minute is restarted. However, after 1 minute of no keypress activity, the keypad will return to its original primary assigned area.

ACCESSING A CONSOLIDATED DISPLAY OF ALL VALID AREAS

Entering “0” for the area number immediately maps the Keypad to a consolidated

‘snapshot’ of all authorized areas. This permits quick arming and disarming only. If an area is not ready to arm it will be necessary to map individually to that area to view the violated zone(s) and either secure or bypass them prior to arming.

This example shows all 8 areas, meaning that the User Code was valid for all 8.

The display only shows the areas for which the user code is authorized.

Note the letter beneath each area number.

To change or ‘toggle’ the arm status of an area, press the number key representing the area number. IMPORTANT: The area status is not “real time”. It is a snapshot taken when the RIGHT arrow key was pressed. If a zone has since become violated the area will still be displaying “r”, however the letter will immediately change to “n” and the keypad will emit an error tone when an attempt is made to arm by pressing the area number.

Section 3 - Programming The Control

3.1 Introduction

The Security functionality of the Control can be programmed either from an Ness-M1KP LCD Keypad OR from the NessRP PC Software. The keypad features a menu-driven “Text” based interface with simple Yes/No answers for most options. After just a short amount of experience the average installer will not even require an instruction manual to keypad program the control.

For the Automation functionality the NessRP PC Software is a requirement. The options and capabilities available for automation are so unique and powerful that it takes a PC to make use of all the benefits. The control features a powerful “Whenever/And/Then” RULES based programming that allows almost any imaginable operation.

3.2 Local Keypad Programming

There are two levels of operation for programming the control locally, user level and installer level.

- User level programming provides the ability to add, change, or delete user passcodes and names. It also allows custom automation settings to be viewed and changed. A master user code is required to access the user code and custom settings screens. User programming is explained in the User’s Guide.

- Installer level programming allows total customizing of the Security operating features. Only the installer code may access this level. If the installer code is lost or forgotten, it is impossible to program the control locally. Anyone attempting installer level programming should be familiar with the contents of this publication prior to programming the control panel. If remote programming is used, it is possible to “lock out” or prevent takeover of a control by another installation company by selecting “Lockout Local Prog.” This prevents the installer passcode from gaining access to programming via an LCD keypad. The installer passcode may still be used for the non-programming functions described in Chapter 2. Lockout Local Prog does not affect remote programming.

3.3 Local or Remote Computer Programming (NessRP) and Anti-Takeover

NessRP programming utilizes extensive error checking and security safeguards, including data encryption, password log-on, serial number, and dealer assigned RP access code. The serial # identifies the control to RP while the RP access code identifies the computer to the control prior to a programming session. RP loads the access code during the first connection. It cannot be viewed or changed from local keypad programming. In addition to these safeguards, you can set an anti-takeover option from RP which prevents certain keypad programming. Even a total default of the panel programming cannot reset the anti-takeover option once it is set..

The Factory Default NessRP Access Code is: 2 4 6 8 0 1

3.4 Area Partitioning

The control may be divided into 1 to 8 independent areas (partitions). Each area appears as a full-featured system, allowing one control to be shared by multiple, independent departments within a common structure. Zones, User Codes, and Keypads may be assigned to any 1 area up to the maximum number available. An example is a single business divided into separate departments, each department occupied by different employees. Mount the control in a secure area (common utility closet) with dedicated and uninterrupted AC power and telephone service. Then assign zones, codes, and keypads to each department.

The Alarm Output (Output 2) activates on all alarms, regardless of the area. The RP Software Rules can be used create additional (separate) outputs. When reporting to the central station events like AC Power Failure, Automatic tests, Low Battery, etc., are considered system reports and are transmitted using the Area 1 account number. If area partitioning is not desired, simply designate all zones to a single area (Area 1) which is the factory default setting for zones 1-8.

COMMON AREA - Another popular feature is the ability to have one or more areas made “common” to Area 1. This is often referred to as a “Vestibule Feature”. Any of the Areas 2 thru 8 may be made common to Area 1. The result is: Area 1 cannot be armed until all its common areas are armed. Once armed, Area 1 will disarm if any common area becomes disarmed. This is good for lobbies or vestibules shared by two or more businesses. Each business must have their own area keypad.

NOTE: If you want Area 1 to automatically arm when all its common areas become armed, use a Whenever/And/Then rule from the RP software to do this.

Press RIGHT arrow key to select this menu. Press UP or DOWN arrow keys to select another menu. The ELK key backs up one menu level. To exit press the * or Exit key.

Press the RIGHT arrow key to select this menu and automatically start the bus enrollment process. ALL data bus devices which are presently connected to the data bus should become enrolled.

The enrollment process only takes a few seconds. Once complete, this summary screen will appear displaying the total number of bus modules that were found and enrolled. To

edit and/or view the devices individually, press the RIGHT arrow key one time.

Each enrolled keypad/device can be viewed one by one. The first device will always be Keypad 1 with a T1 (for type 1) and Addr=01 (for address 01). As explained below, different kinds of devices can be identified by their device “Type”. Pressing the Up or Down arrow keys will scroll through each enrolled device.

If a device is removed from the data bus, it should be removed by repeating the enrollment process. The control will only enroll the devices that are connected. It will remove any previously enrolled devices that it does not see.

After the last device is reviewed, the next press of the Up arrow key moves to the “End Enrollment” screen which once again displays the total number of devices enrolled.

DATA BUS DEVICE TYPES AND ADDRESSES: Each data bus device is a specific “Device Type”. Keypads are TYPE 1, Input (Zone) Expanders are TYPE 2, Output Expanders are TYPE 3, Serial Port Expanders are TYPE 5. Any new devices designed will be assigned a Device Type. Every data bus device MUST have a unique “Address” setting within its type. Valid Input Expanders addresses are 2 to 13, Output Expander addresses are 1 to 13. The address determines the starting and ending zone or output numbers for that expander. See chart below:

Addr Input Exp Output Exp Addr Input Exp Output Exp. Addr Input Exp Output Exp.

1 = N/A (main bd) Outputs 1-16 6 = Zone 81-96 Output 65-80 11 = Zone 161-176 Output 161-176 2 = Zone 17-32 Output 17-32 7 = Zone 97-112 Output 97-112 12 =Zone 177-192 Output 177-192 3 = Zone 33-48 Output 33-48 8 = Zone 113-128 Output 113-128 13 = Zone 193-208 Output 193-208 4 = Zone 49-64 Output 49-64 9 = Zone 129-144 Output 129-144 5 = Zone 65-80 Output 65-80 10 = Zone 145-160 Output 145-160

INPUT AND OUTPUT EXPANDER ADDRESSES: Locate the bank of four white (DIP) switches along the top edge of the board. Each switch has a position of Off or On (0 or 1) and a binary value (1, 2, 4, 8). The addition of the binary values (sum total) for the switches set to the On position determines the data bus address. For example: Data bus address 5 is set by placing switches 1 and 4 to the On position (1 + 4 = 5). All other switches must be in the down or Off position.

KEYPAD ADDRESSES: All keypads are factory set to address 1. Valid addresses are 1 to 16. The first keypad on the system (Keypad 1) is automatically enrolled upon power up. Each additional keypad must be assigned a unique address and then manually enrolled from “Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment”. To set the address on a keypad do the following:

1. Hold down a key while applying power OR press and hold the (Asterisk) “ * ” and F5 keys for 5 seconds.

2. Press the F1 key, then use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to set the desired address number.

3. Press the EXIT key when done.

NOTE: If a device is removed from the data bus, it should be un-enrolled to prevent a trouble. To replace a defective device, set the address to the same value as the old unit and initiate the Bus Enrollment process.

If Yes, the control will switch from AWAY mode to STAY mode at the end of the exit delay time if no exit zone is violated (no exit detected). NOTE: This tracks the longest of the two exit timers. All interior zones are bypassed in the STAY mode. Default value is No.

If this option is set to Yes (default), the exit procedures will be affected in three ways:

1) ADDITIONAL EXIT1 “GRACE” FEATURE - During the initial Exit Delay 1 time if the zone violates a second time and restores, the exit timer will automatically restart one time. I.E. If the Exit1 door is opened, closed, and then opened again the timer will restart.

NOTE: This only works on Exit Delay 1 zones and the timer only restarts one time. It does NOT work if the zone is enabled for force arm! This features complies with

the SIA CP-01 false alarm reduction standard.

2) SPOUSE “LEAVE FOR WORK” OR “LET PET OUT” FEATURE - If the system is armed in one of the Stay modes, a User may press the Exit key to re-start the exit delay time in order to open an exit/entry door and leave for work. The system remains in the Stay mode for remaining family members that are still in the house. This can also be used to let a pet outdoors. When the pet is ready to come back inside the User simply presses the Exit key again to restart the timer.

3) GOING FROM STAY MODE TO AWAY MODE - If the system is armed in one of the Stay modes, a User may change the arm mode to Away. This is done by pressing the Exit key twice in short succession (within 3 seconds) and leaving the building.

* SIA

CP-01

Exit Error If an entry/exit zone is violated at the time the Exit Delay time expires, the Exit Error Feature will be activated. The local siren will sound immediately and the Entry Delay warning will begin. If the control is not disarmed before the Entry Delay expires, the communicator will report the alarm along with an Exit Error code, provided these codes are programmed. An Exit Error event flag will also be set which can be used by the “Whenever/And/Then” rules (refer to the NessRP software) to sound a siren, or blink a light, or whatever. Exit Error feature complies with the SIA CP-1 false alarm reduction standard.

If Yes, AND option 10 is set to Yes, multiple presses of the Stay key during exit delay will be able to scroll to the Stay Night Instant arming level. The default value is No.

This option should be used with caution. If Yes, the Stay key may be used to scroll or step the armed level after exit delay has expired and the control is fully armed. The default value is No.

To program the text description of the Area (Name) press the left arrow key. Enter text using the number keys. I.E. For a “K” press the 5 key twice. To move the cursor press the right or left arrow keys. While programming the text, pressing the Chime key inserts a space, and the Bypass key erases 1 digit. The up and down arrow keys toggle between upper and lower case. Press the “MENU” key when complete.

VACATION MODE: During the exit delay time the Away key may be pressed to convert from Away mode to Away Vacation mode. The Away Vacation mode does not alter any of the security arming times or zones. Its primary purpose is for use with the Whenever/And/Then Rules programming of NessRP for enhanced energy savings modes.

AUTO ARMING: The control has an Auto Arming feature which may be setup using the “Whenever/And/Then Rules” in the NessRP PC Programming Software. Basically, a rule must be written to initiate the auto arm sequence at a specific time and/or date occurrence along with a programmable pre-warning time period. At the end of the pre-warn time, the system will automatically arm to the AWAY mode, bypassing any violated Burglar zones. All area keypad(s) will beep and display a warning when the initiating time occurs. Pressing the * key clears this warning for 1 minute. The auto arm time may be extended in 10 minute increments by pressing the RIGHT arrow key. No further warnings will occur until 10 minutes prior to the newly “extended” auto arm time. Example 1: If a scheduled AutoArm is set for 06:00pm with a prewarn time of 20 minutes, the warning will start at 6:00pm and the auto arm will occur at 6:20pm. Pressing the RIGHT arrow key to extend the time will cause the new auto arm time to be 6:30pm.

00 Disabled - Used to remove any unused zone(s). No need to put a jumper or resistor across the terminals. 01 Burglar Entry/Exit 1 - For perimeter entry/exit doors. Allows a time delay to enter and exit during arm and disarm. 02 Burglar Entry/Exit 2 - For perimeter entry/exit doors that require more time delay during arm and disarm. 03 Burglar Perimeter Instant - Windows and perimeter openings. Activates an immediate Burglary alarm if tripped

during ANY armed mode. Does not provide any exit or entry delay.

04 Burglar Interior - For motion detectors, interior doors, etc. Creates an instant alarm if tripped during the AWAY arm

mode. This zone type IS NOT ACTIVE during the STAY, STAY INSTANT, NITE, and NITE INSTANT arm modes.

05 Burglar Interior Follower - For motions detectors, interior doors, etc. which may be in the keypad or entry pathway.

If an entry delay zone is violated first, this zone will delay (Follow) also, otherwise it will create an instant alarm. This zone type IS NOT ACTIVE during the STAY, STAY INSTANT, NITE, and NITE INSTANT arm modes.

06 Burglar Interior Nite - For motion detectors, interior doors, etc. which are not close to sleeping areas. The primary

use of this zone type is for increased security when the user is home. Interior Nite zones ARE ACTIVE during the NITE and NITE INSTANT arm modes as well as the AWAY arm mode and will create an instant alarm if tripped. This zone type is NOT ACTIVE during the STAY or STAY INSTANT arm modes.

07 Burglar Interior Nite Delay - For motion detectors, interior doors, etc. that are not close to sleeping areas. Same

as an Interior Nite zone except that Interior Nite Delay zones will delay for the entry/exit delay 1 time period. Interior Nite zones ARE ACTIVE during the NITE and NITE INSTANT arm modes providing increased security when the user is home and in bed. However, if the user accidentally wanders into a Nite Delay zone the entry delay timer will start and the tone will sound, warning the user to disarm before a false alarm occurs.

NOTE: If “Auto Stay,No Exit” is set to YES (see Area Definitions) and the system is armed in the Away

mode, all interior zones will be bypassed if no exit is detected from the premises during the exit delay time.

09 Burglar 24 hr Box Tamper - Intended for control, siren, and bell box tamper switches. Activates an immediate

Burglary Tamper alarm if tripped anytime (armed or disarmed state).

10 Fire 24 hr Alarm - Intended for Fire alarm sensors such as smoke detectors, heat stats, pull stations, etc.

Activates an immediate Fire alarm upon a short across the zone wires. A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open (break in the zone wires) should occur.

11 Fire 24 hr ‘Verified’ - For smoke detectors in high-risk false alarm areas. Upon initial activation (short across the

zone), the control ignores the alarm and removes smoke power for 5 seconds to reset the detectors. During this 5 seconds, and for 25 additional seconds afterwards, no alarms will be recognized from this zone. Following this is a 30 second verification time window, during which any additional activation will be regarded as verification of the initial alarm and the control will initiate a Fire Alarm. If the 30 seconds expires with no further activations, the entire process is cleared (reset). A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open (break in the zone wires) occurs.

12 Fire 24 hr Supervisory - Intended for monitoring water control valves on fire sprinkler systems. Same as Fire 24hr

except that a short across the zone activates a Fire Supervisory alarm. A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open (break in the zone wires) should occur.

13 Auxiliary1 24 hr - This zone can trip anytime (armed or disarmed) and send a communicator report, but there is

no audible alarm output or keypad indication provided. It is displayed in the event log. A Whenever/And/Then rule can be written from the RP software to do other things with this zone type. Resets upon restoral.

14 Auxiliary2 24 hr - This zone can trip anytime (armed or disarmed) and send a communicator report, but there is

no audible alarm output or keypad indication provided. It is displayed in the event log. A Whenever/And/Then rule can be written from the RP software to do other things with this zone type. Resets upon restoral.

234567890123456789012345678901212

Dialer delay is designed to reduce false alarm dispatches. Upon an alarm from a zone with this option the communicator delays dialing for the “Dialer Delay” time programmed in Menu 09-Area Reporting Codes. If a valid code is entered before this delay expires, the report will ABORT (no report). If an ‘Alarm Abort” code is programmed, (see Menu 09), the communicator will transmit this in place of the alarm.

The Central Station can renew or terminate listen-in remotely. NOTE: Two-Way must be enabled (Menu 07-Globals) and an interface (M1TWI) with one or more microphone/ speakers (M1TWS) must be installed. Default setting is No.

A Yes allows zone to be manually bypassed. A bypassed zone will be ignored by the system. Burglar zone bypasses are canceled upon a disarm. To bypass a zone: Press the Bypass key + [zone number] + the Bypass key once again. Default setting is Yes.

Force Arm allows a violated zone to be temporarily bypassed upon arming. Prior to arm, the READY light blinks if force arm zone(s) are the only zones violated. Force arm requires two entries of a user code. Quick arm cannot be used for force arming. Upon the first code entry the keypad will display READY FORCE. The second code entry will force arm. Force armed zone(s) automatically return to service if they become normal while armed. CAUTION! Force arm operates in a unique way on entry/exit zones! - Entry/Exit zones that are also force armable can be violated during the exit delay and still become force armed. This allows a user to arm, open a garage door, back out, and then shut the door at their leisure, without creating a false alarm and without a long exit delay time. As soon as the garage door is closed, it will automatically return to service. Default setting is No. NOTE: For UL installations Force Arm shall be disabled.

Swinger Shutdown prevents a runaway communicator by shunting a zone after two trips. It cannot send another alarm until the control is reset OR a 48 hour time period elapse. Default setting is No. NOTE: For UL installations this feature shall be disabled.

This type zone must be tripped at least once per disarm cycle*. This prevents blocked PIRs or seldom used doors from being left not secure. Keypad will display “Not Ready” if a periodic zone has not been tripped. * NOTE: A periodic trip will not be required for a disarm period of 1 hour or less. Default setting is No.

Response is the time the zone must be violated before the system detects it. If No, the zone responds to the Slow response time. The time values are in milliseconds and they are programmed in the Menu 07 Global Sys. Definitions menu. Default setting is No.

Each zone may be selected to be included in the Chime annunciation whenever Chime Mode is turned on from the keypad. Most zone types may be included via this option. Default setting is No.

Burglar zones programmed “In CrossZonePool” cannot cause an alarm unless another zone in the cross zone pool also activates within a time window OR unless “Cross Zone Self Ver“ is Menu 07 - Global System Definitions. Entry/exit zones should NOT be programmed as Cross zones. Default setting is No.

To program the text description of the Zone (Name) press the left arrow key. Enter text using the number keys. I.E. For a “K” press the 5 key twice. To move the cursor press the right or left arrow keys. While programming the text, pressing the Chime key inserts a space and the Bypass key erases 1 digit. The up and down arrow keys move between upper and lower case. Press the “MENU” key when complete.

Each alarm type has a duration timer for cutting off the alarm after a programmable time period. Any output assigned to the alarm type will turn on when the alarm activates and will turn off when the alarm cutoff timer expires. If multiple alarm types are assigned to a single output, all alarms must turn off before the output can turn off. The range in seconds is 00000 to 65535. 00000=Never turn on. 65535=Never turn off NOTE: 65535 seconds is 1,092 minutes or 18.2 hours.

Any of the Areas 2 thru 8 may be made common to Area 1. The result is: Area 1 cannot be armed until all its common areas are armed. Once armed, Area 1 will disarm if any common area becomes disarmed. This is good for lobbies or vestibules shared by two or more businesses. Each business must have their own area keypad. NOTE: If you want

Area 1 to automatically arm when all its common areas become armed, use a Whenever/And/Then rule from the RP software to do this.

NOTE: When connecting 8 Ohm speakers, do not exceed an 4 Ohm total load.

Options G15 thru G25 are not used.

Allows Output 2 to be converted from a siren driver into a voltage only output. If set to “No” the control produces alarm sounds for use with 8 Ohm speakers. If set to “Yes” the control will produce +12 Volts for use with self-contained sirens or bells. Default is No.

Ordinarily, Outputs 1 & 2 activate immediately on alarms. However, Output 2 can be time delayed up to 255 seconds. Using Output 1 strictly for interior sounders and Output 2 for outside sounders, a false alarm will be heard inside first, giving the user time to disarm before any outside sounders are activated.

Output 2 can be set to alarm only once per armed cycle for burglary type alarms. This feature is intended for noise abatement. The dialer will continue to transmit all alarms that may occur. THIS ONLY LOCKS OUT AUDIBLE FROM OUTPUT 2.

The control must be set to auto answer an incoming call in order for Remote Programming (RP) to be accessed remotely. The range of rings can be set from 1 to 15. A value of “0” disables auto answer.

A Yes enables faster connection from an outside telephone. It works as follows: Call the control and hang up after 1 or 2 rings. This starts a 45 second timer. Call the control a 2nd time during this 45 second time and the control will answer on the first ring. In some cases this Ring/Hang/Answer option may be the only way to get around telephone company provided answering services. Option 29 MUST also be set!

NOTE: If an on-site answering machine picks up, the RP software and the control will automatically attempt to override the machine using tone sniffing methods.

Set this option to Yes ONLY when an Ness M1TWI Two Way Listen-In interface is installed. This enables the correct software commands and procedures to make the two way functional. Refer also to the instructions that are shipped with the M1TWI

Press RIGHT arrow key to select this menu. Press UP or DOWN arrow keys to select another menu. The ELK key backs up one menu level. To exit press the * or Exit key.

The control can dial up to 8 telephone numbers plus the NessRP number. Each of the 8 phone numbers can be used to report alarms, troubles, closings, opening, etc. in digital format as well as pager formats. Use the up/down arrow keys to select the telephone number, then press the right arrow key to program the options, starting with option 01.

This selects the reporting format to be used with this number. The available formats are: 00 = Disable reporting 03 = Pulse 4+2 06 = Ethernet 01 = Contact ID 04 = Pager DTMF tones 02 = SIA 05 = not used

0=Always Report, meaning the number will be dialed when its “report to” options are activated. 1=Backup, meaning the number will ONLY be dialed if the previous sequential number failed to complete its call. When backup is selected the “report to” options will be copied from the previous number and ONLY the name, number, format, and dial attempts may be edited. To edit any “report to” options you must temporarily set this value to 0.

NOTE: Telephone # 1 cannot be set as a backup since it is the first number. A backup cannot have another backup.

Up to 20 digits may be entered for a telephone number. Valid numeric digits are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. In addition, the following special characters may be programmed. The cursor automatically moves right each time a digit is entered.

Comma (,) = forces the dialer to pause for 2 seconds Slash (/) = forces the dialer to pause for 125 milliseconds. Asteric (*) = simulates the * key on a touch tone phone Pound (#) = simulates the # key on a touch tone phone B = Program the 1st dialed digit as a “B” to force Pulse (rotary) dialing. Anywhere else in the dial string a “B” will simply

be handled as a DTMF tone signal C = Not Used D = Program the 1st dialed digit as a “D” to force Dial tone detection prior to dialing. Otherwise, it dials regardless of

dial tone presence. Anywhere else in the dial string a “D” will simply be handled as a DTMF tone signal.

EXCEPTION: Digit D (Dial tone detect) can be the 2nd digit but ONLY if B (Pulse dial) is the 1st dialed digit.

To enter special characters place the cursor where desired and press the up arrow key. The 1 key will now produce characters 1, #, *, and /. The 2 key will produce 2, A, B, and C. The 3 key will produce 3, and D. When finished press the down arrow key to return to numbers.

NOTE: On CID reporting the 3 digit code will be preceded by a “1” for a new event or an opening. It will be preceded by a “3” for a restore or a closing event.

User Lockout code will be reported if someone repeatedly enters digits (see Menu 07 Global System Definitions, Option 12 for the maximum number of digits allowed) in an attempt to hack out a valid user code. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).

Exit Error Code can be used to identify an accidental alarm caused by an error while arming. Locally, it works as follows: If an exit delay rolls directly into entry delay as a result of a zone being left violated, the entry delay warning AND the siren will sound. If the control is not disarmed prior to the entry delay expiring, the communicator will report the alarm along with the Exit Error code. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).

Fail to communicate displays on the keypad and the event log when the communicator fails to complete it’s report using the number of dial attempts. A good communications report must occur in order to reset/clear the failure. If this fail to communicate report code is enabled, it will be reported with next good communications to indicate a “past” failure. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).

Section 4 - PC Programming and Automation Capabilities

4.1 Ness - RP Software

NessRP (RP) is a Windows based software package that is compatible with Windows 95 and later. It features an extremely intuitive user interface and contains all data in a central database. RP can be run on a single PC or over a local area network (LAN) with multiple operators. In addition to the traditional security programming features, RP allows you to create and manage the automation functionality in the control. The following information is a brief overview including illustrations of the various screens. Please refer to RP’s on-line help file for specific operation details.

4.1.1 RP Connection Methods

There are 3 methods for the RP software to connect with the control. Regardless of the method, the control’s serial number and RP access code MUST match in order for the connection to be successful. The connection methods are:

1. Direct using Com_ (PC Com port) - Requires an M1EZ8MSI Main Serial Port board and a 9 pin serial cable. Data transfer is 115,200 baud. NOTE: If your

computer only has a USB port, an approved converter (USB to RS-232) is available from Ness (Part no. 101-231).

2. Dial-up using Modem and phone line - RP is compatible with virtually all computer modems, even 56k modems. This is due to the controls built-in V.22 bis “True” modem, which handles data transfer at 2,400 baud. The 6 dial-up options are: Fully Automatic - RP dials the control phone number and listens for the control to answer on it’s “rings until answer” setting.

If an answering machine answers, RP will transmit codes to override it automatically. Prompt when answer - RP dials and listens for the control to answer. It waits for a manual OK before connecting. Dial, hang up, dial again - This is faster than waiting on the control’s “rings until answer” setting. It is also useful for

reaching premises that have telephone company answer/forward services. The control must be enabled for this option.

After dialing, RP leaves the PC speaker on, and prompts you to click “Hang-up” after you hear two rings. It then forces a

time delay before allowing you to click OK to start the second dial. As long as the control properly detects the first two

rings and subsequent hang-up, it will wait up to 45 seconds for a second call and answer that call on the first ring. Customer will force answer - Similar to method 1 except the User must enter keypad menu 8, option 5, item 1 to force the

control to answer. This is necessary if the “rings until answer” or “dial/hang-up/dial” options are not programmed. Telephone connection already established - If a voice connection is already established using the control’s phone line and

the PC’s phone line, this method can be used to take over the connection and initiate an immediate connection.

3. Network - With an optional M1XEP Ethernet Port module you can connect over a Local or Wide Area Network. (Contact Ness for details)

4.1.2 Check for Conflicts

During the connect and disconnect process RP performs an automatic check of the data stored in the control and compares it the database. If there are any conflicts (differences), a pop-up resolution window display them and allows corrections to be made. Ness regards “Check for Conflicts” to be an especially important feature. It can point out any changes that have occurred such as a user having added or changed a code. The resolution window allows you to receive the control’s data into the database (accept the local version) or send the RP data to the control (accept the database version). NOTE: Checking for

conflicts adds considerable time to the connect/disconnect process, especially on dial-up connections. For this reason, the automatic check for conflicts may be disabled from the SETUP menu. A manual Check for Conflicts can be selected from the Send/Rcv icon.

4.1.3 Sending and Receiving Data

RP allows many options and groups of options to be sent or received individually, which greatly reduces the on-line connect time if there are only a few items to be changed. However, a full send or receive occurs very quickly, thanks to the built-in V.22 bis “True” Modem. RP features easy to use menus & toolbar icons and makes extensive use of the right mouse button to perform operations. Try right clicking on any item or icon to see the available options.

4.2 Update/Verify Firmware in the Control and Peripherals

The control stores it’s operating firmware in “Flash” memory. This state-of-the-art memory allows electronic field updates to the control and its peripherals, and eliminates the old fashion method of changing IC chips or shipping boards back to the factory. As new firmware updates become available, they will be posted on Ness’s Dealer ONLY restricted website found at www.ness.com.au NOTE: Firmware updating can only be done from a Direct to PC Com port connection or an optional

Ethernet Network connection. Due to the amount of data that has to be transferred, Dial-up connections cannot be used to perform firmware updates.

How to Update Firmware:

1. In order to make a RS232 Serial connection from an EZ8 Control to a PC the EZ8 must be equipped with an EZ8MSI

Main Serial Port Interface. This provides a standard RS232 Port with operating speed up to 115,200.

2. Connect a 9 pin serial cable from the Computer’s Serial Port to the 9 Pin RS232 Connector on EZ8MSI.

3. Start RP and open the account belonging to that particular control. Click on the Connection menu icon and establish

a connection using the Direct using Com_ option.

4. Click on Update/Verify Firmware from the Send/Rcv menu icon.

5. On the Update/Verify screen, select the device to be updated (Control, Keypad, etc.) along with the “Update to new

firmware” option. Then click Continue.

6. The Update Firmware screen displays the device name, the current Firmware, Hardware, and Bootware version, and

a pull down window for selecting the firmware version to use on the update. Always select the latest firmware version (highest number). Be sure to save all update (.bin) files that are downloaded or received via CDROM into the ~Program Files\NessRP\Updates directory on your computer. This is where RP looks for all update files.

7. Click on the check box for “Update”. If “Reprogram” or “Rollback” is displayed the firmware file is the same as OR

older that what is in the control. Reprogramming with the same firmware is a waste of time but was included for factory testing purposes. Rollback is not recommended except under the guidance of Ness Technical Support.

Page 48

NOTE: The option for “Verify existing firmware” on the Update/Verify screen is normally not required except for factory diagnostics. If the control has multiple keypads, expanders, etc., RP will display the details about each one onscreen with a check box for selecting units for updating.

4.3 Automation Rules and Attributes

The Automation Programming software offers powerful, easy to setup and manage, life style enhancement features. The automation programming allows mixing and matching of lighting components, outputs (relays or voltage), thermostats, temperature sensors, and all the security inputs and features to integrate functions that add value and appeal to the owner/ user. Lights can be set to turn on and off in response to a time or day, a certain sensor, or according to the arm/disarm status of the security control. Outputs can be set to control door strikes, irrigation sprinklers, circulating pumps valves, etc.

The power behind the automation features is the unique RULES Engine. Rules are expressions of what you would like to happen at a given time or in response to a set of circumstances. The following information is intended to provide an overview of the vast automation features in the control.

TASKS - A Task is similar to a computer macro, in that a single activation can result in multiple actions or events. The

actions and triggering of a Task must be written or developed in a Whenever/And/Then Rule. The purpose of the task

screen is to assign each task its own 16 character description and the ability to “Show” on the keypad or the telephone remote control menu. Up to 32 Tasks can be programmed. Examples are “Water the Lawn” which could be used to turn on a series of outputs or relays to control underground water valves for a certain time duration. “Welcome Home” could be task used to control a series of lights at a given time or day or in response to someone disarming the security system. The following shows several tasks.

Page 49

LIGHTING - The control can handle up to 256 Light (or appliance) devices. Each is assigned to one of 256 addresses. Each devices is displayed in columnar format with the following options and settings: Name - Each device can be given a 16 character name (description) which is displayed on the keypad when the light is being controlled. Format - This pull down box selects the protocol of the device. The available Lighting formats are: Standard, Extended, Preset dim, Compose, Serial Port. The Serial port format is for UPB, ALC, Centralite, others through an M1XSP Lighting/Thermostat/Serial Expander Interface. Type - This pull down box selects the whether the device is a: On/Off Switch, Dimmer, or Appliance. Show - If this box is checked the device will appear “show” on the keypad and telephone remote as you scroll through the automation control menus. 2-way - This checkbox is used to record whether the device is capable of replying back to commands. NOTE:

Additional lighting formats are in development, including the new Z-Wave wireless devices. Even if a lighting product is not directly supported, it is always possible to use RS-232 ASCII strings for communicating lighting control.

OUTPUTS - These can be in the form of voltage only, relays, or a combination of the two. Up to 204 outputs may be controlled.

The first 32 outputs have a 16 character description and the “Show” on keypad or telephone remote option. However, any output may be controlled from the keypad by entering its number. Outputs can be used to actuate door locks, motors, fan, pumps, etc.

SUNRISE/SUNSET - Sunrise and sunset can be used to control lighting and other entities. This section is the setup for the built-in Astronomical clock, which is capable of calculating sunrise and sunset times automatically. The inputs necessary to setup the control for sunrise/sunset are latitude, longitude, and the time zone value where the control is installed. Latitude/ longitude information can often be found printed on city or state highway maps, or it can be researched on the internet. After entering the required information, click calculate and then send to the control.

NOTE: The Time Zone automatically assumes “standard time”. Therefore, the calculated times will reflect standard time. If the control is set for “Observe Daylight Savings Time” the sunrise/sunset times will be adjusted by the control accordingly.

CUSTOM SETTINGS - These are 20 memory locations which may be assigned a 12 character description, a function type (one of 3), and a starting value. An authorized user can then access the custom settings from keypad user menu 7Automation Custom Settings, and modify the value whether it be a numeric value, a timer (seconds), or a time-of-day. Incorporating custom settings in rules provides the user the ability to modify how the rule will operate. For instance, the user can modify the time or duration for the lawn sprinklers which have been programmed to turn on automatically. The function types include: A 5 digit raw number with a range of 00000 to 65,535, a 5 digit timer (seconds) with a range of 00000 to 65,535 seconds, or a Time (time of day) which is formatted as 00:00 with a range of 00:00 to 23:59.

COUNTERS - These memory locations (often called flags) can be set, incremented, decremented, or compared by an automation rule to track an event or keep up with how many times an event has occurred. There are a total of 64 counters. Each can be programmed with a 12 character description, making it easy to reference in an automation rule.

THERMOSTATS - HVAC Thermostats may be read and/or controlled by the automation rules engine. This menu allows each thermostat to be assigned a 12 character description for easy reference in an automation rule. The compatible thermostats are: RCS, Aprilaire, and HAI. Due to the various data protocols, a Lighting/Thermostat/Serial Interface Expander (M1XSP) is needed to couple the M1 data bus to HVAC thermostats. Depending on the brand of thermostat, its wiring interface (RS-232 or RS-485), and the model of control that you are installing, up to 16 HVAC thermostats can be controlled. Many communicating thermostats operate stand-alone when they are not being remotely commanded by an automation controller.

TEXTS - This section allows custom text messages to be constructed and formatted. These messages can be transmitted to an LCD keypad or out one of the RS232 serial ports to a PC or some other type of equipment. I.E. Touchscreen, Lighting

Page 51

centers, etc. A message to the keypad could be “Happy Birthday” or “Please Pay Your Bill”, while a message going out a serial port might be a series of ASCII characters formatted to a certain manufacturers protocol. Special options built into this menu include: automatic display of temperature readings from Zone Temperature Sensors (M1ZTS) and from the temperature sensor built into an LCD Keypad. The sending or receiving of text messages is controlled by the automation rules engine.

NOTE: Text messages share the same memory space as rules. The total number of text messages and rules combined cannot exceed the total amount of rule space in the control.

RULES - This section essentially brings all the power of the automation together. Rules consist of three major elements: A WHENEVER (“triggering”) condition, one or more ANDs (“qualifiers”), and one or more THENs (“activations”). Rules utilize the various elements of the previously described sections in addition to the many control conditions (arm, disarm, alarms, etc.), plus many of the event codes listed in Appendix A. For example: A rule might be triggered by a Task to activate a specific light and output, but only if the control is armed in a specific mode.

WHENEVER - The first element of a rule and the starting point of every rule is a triggering event. Every rule must have a

triggering event in order to be started. A triggering event can be a time of day occurrence, a zone opening or closing, the security system going from armed to disarmed, a light changing from on to off, or literally hundreds of other events. Below are some examples of WHENEVER elements:

Example 1 = WHENEVER THE TIME IS 08:00AM Example 2 = WHENEVER Living Rm Light [6 (A6)] IS TURNED ON

An important point to remember is that a WHENEVER gets triggered by the transition of its event from one state to another. In example 1, the trigger occurs when the time of day goes from 07:59AM to 08:00AM. In example 2, the trigger occurs when the living room light goes from off to on. Some WHENEVER elements may even include the word “BECOMES”, which clearly implies that the event has to change from its current condition and “become” the alternate condition. Just remember, a rule can only be triggered by the transition of an event from one condition to another.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming

[Effective w/Firmware 4.3.6]

Page 53

AND - The second and optional element of a rule is a qualifier. Rules can have one or more qualifiers OR none at all. Even

though qualifiers are not required, they are ideal for filtering out actions that should not occur under certain circumstances. A qualifier can be a time, day(s), the state of light or dark, the state of a zone, output, or light, and hundreds of other variables. The state of light or dark can be determined by the Sunrise/Sunset settings from the control’s Astronomical Clock. Below are some examples of AND (qualifiers):

Example 3 = AND Front Door (Zn 1) IS NOT SECURE Example 4 = AND THE DAY(S) OF THE WEEK IS/ARE -M-W-FExample 5 = AND IT IS DARK OUTSIDE Example 6 = AND John’s House (Area 1) IS ARMED AWAY

THEN - The third and final element of a rule is the action that you wish to occur as a result of the Rule being triggered and

all the qualifiers being true. Below are some examples of THEN actions:

Example 7 = THEN TURN Air Cond (Out 9) OFF Example 8 = THEN TURN Living Rm Light [6 A6)] OFF Example 9 = THEN SET Main Floor (Tstat 1) OFF Example 10 = THEN TURN All Lights On

Here is an example of a rule used to turn off the air condition anytime the front door is left open by the kids. It consists of a 30 second timer for the WHENEVER trigger an AND to test the door’s open/closed state, and a THEN to turn off the output that controls the air condition.

Examples of Rules - Shown below are a series of rules that should help illustrate the power and results that rules can provide. Look closely at the ones that have multiple ANDs and THENs. Rules with Multiple ANDs and THENS work as follows: When the WHENEVER element is triggered, each one of the AND elements is evaluated to determine if the condition its testing is true. If any one of the ANDs are not true, the rule engine stops executing the rule immediately. However, if all ANDs are true then the rule engine moves on to the THEN elements, executing each one of them.

Rule 1 is an energy saving example. It automatically turns off the Porch lights at 8:00AM everyday if it is light outside. Rule 2 is a courtesy light example. It will turn on the Porch light for 5 minutes when the Front door opens (exiting the building)

provided it is dark outside and the control has been armed to the away mode.

Rule 3 is a comfort example. It periodically (every 20 seconds) checks the temperature reading of the Outdoor Temp sensor

and turns on the Porch Fan if the temperature becomes greater than 90 degrees. NOTE: An additional AND element

could be added to prevent the fan from operating on certain days or at certain times.

Rule 4 is another energy savings example. It adjusts the cooling setpoint of the Main Floor Thermostat to 85 degrees

whenever the control is armed to the away mode.

Rule 5 is especially great for a homeowner arriving home after dark. If they are equipped with an RF (wireless) Keyfob and

they press button #3, the rule will turn on the outside Flood lights and Porch lights for 5 minutes, provided it is dark outside and the Flood lights are not already on. If the Floodlights were already on the rule would stop. This prevents the lights from going off after 5 minutes if you intentionally had already turned them on manually.

Rule 6 shows how an ASCII string coming in from the serial port (port 0) could be used to unlock a door strike for 10 seconds

and announce “Access Allowed”. This string could come from Access Control system.

In this last example, three rules are used to chirp the outside siren based on the input of a RF Keyfob to arm the control.

Rule 8 makes the siren chirp once if the control successfully

arms when the user presses button 1.

Rule 9 makes the siren chirp twice if the control disarms when

the user presses button 2

Rule 10 makes the siren chirp four times (error tone) if the

control fails to arm when the user presses button 1.

Appendix A - Event Codes

Event Codes are four digit numbers used to represent alarms, troubles, arm/disarms, restores, and various other conditions that occur within the control. For the most part, they are used only internally by the control’s software. For example: turning on the alarm output. However, there are cases where the installer may need these codes. Case #1 - Keypad F key programming. Each of the Keypad F keys may be programmed to activate a particular condition such as Emergency Panic Alarm. See Menu 04 - Keypad Definitions. The activation event code can be any of the zone definition codes. The F1 key may also be programmed to light up or “illuminate” when a condition is active. The F1 key can illuminate when the Emergency Panic Alarm is active by programming the four digit event code 1011 = Emergency Alarm. Case #2 - Event History log. Each of the 512 entries in the event history log is represented by one of these 4 digits event codes, along with the time, date, area, and/or user code. It may be necessary or helpful to have these codes handy to fully interpret the log.

Appendix B - Two Way “Listen-in/Talk” Interface (optional)

Using a Two Way Interface board (EZ8TWI), up to 3 zones of listen-in can be provided. Each zone can have up to 4 microphones for a total of 12 listen-in points. Talk back is delivered through the speakers connected to the EZ8TWI. A two way session can be triggered by any number of zones when an alarm occurs. Two way can also be triggered during a Telephone Remote Control session. Instructions for the EZ8TWI are included with the interface.

OPERATION

1. Two way Listen-in must first be enabled from Menu 07-Global System Options. There are two required options. Option 31, “2Way Listen-in Enable” (No or Yes) and Option 32, “2Way Callback Time” (000 to 255 seconds). These options are defaulted to No and 000. In addition, you must also decide which zone(s) need to activate listen-in and set their “Enable Listen-in” programming option. Whenever a Central Station alarm message is transmitted for one of these zones, the dialer provides two methods for initiating a listen-in session.

1a. Hold the Line - After alarm kissoff the dialer will hold the phone line open for the amount of time programmed in Option 32, “2Way Callback Time”. This can be from 001 to 255 seconds. During this time the Operator may pick up the line and press * 55 * to initiate an immediate two way session. If the control does not receive * 55 * during the time period it will hang up and release the phone line.

1b. Callback - Upon hangup the control uses the same time value (Option 32, “2Way Callback Time”) to begin a callback time window. During this time window the control will answer any incoming call on the 1st ring, and allow the Operator to press * 55 * to initiate a two way session.

2. Once a two way session has begun, it will continue for 3 minutes before automatically disconnecting. To extend the two way session for 3 additional minutes you must press command 7.

TONE COMMANDS

* 55 * BEGIN LISTEN-IN Used by Operator to begin a listen-in session.

Installing a Ness-M1PR internal prox reader or an external (26 bit Wiegand) prox reader

1. Turn Off the Control’s Master Power Switch.

2. Remove M1KP Keypad from mounting plate, disconnect the 6 pin data bus cable, and place face down on a soft surface.

3. Locate the 1" mounting hole in the lower left corner and the 5 pin connector marked J2 to the right of the mounting hole.

4. Position the M1PR in the 1" mounting hole with its 5 wire female cable facing towards connector J2 on the circuit board.

5. Gently lift up on the 5 wire cable, then bend the white plug down to form a slight arch in the wires. SEE DETAIL A. This will shorten the cable enough that it can be plugged into connector J2.

6. Reconnect the 6 pin data bus cable to connector J1 and install the keypad onto its mounting plate.

7. Turn On the Control’s Master Power Switch and follow the instructions for enrolling cards or fobs

Enrolling Prox Cards and Fobs

Prox cards/fobs are enrolled into a User Code location using the same procedures used to add/change User Code PINs.

1. Press the

select this menu. A Master user code (PIN) must be entered to gain access to this menu.

2. Enter the three digit number of the desired User Code location (001 to 099) or use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to scroll

through the codes. Then select

3. The keypad will display any existing 4 or 6 digit code that is programmed for this user along with any programmed name.

4. Place a new (not previously enrolled) prox card/fob near the Keypad's right speaker grill below the Stay key. The read range

is approximately 1/8" to 3/8". The Keypad should beep 3 times and display the card/fob 12 digit ID.

5. If the card/fob is rejected, a low error tone and Code Not Authorized, Redo will display. Causes for reject include: A. The

card/fob has already been enrolled (duplicate codes are not allowed) OR B. The facility code in the card/fob does not match the reader facility code. A prox reader can only read cards/fobs with a matching facility code.

6. Once a prox card/fob is enrolled in a user code location, its capabilities are set by the User Code Options found in Installer

Menu 02. The commonly used options are: Arm the Control, Disarm the Control, or Access event.

“MENU” key, then press the 6 key (or scroll up) to display 6 - Change User Codes. Press the RIGHT arrow key to

CHG by pressing the RIGHT arrow key.

A keypad access event occurs when a valid prox card/fob is read at a keypad. Nothing will happen until this event is utilized in a Whenever/And/Then Rule from the

NessRP software. An Access event can be used to create virtually any desired reaction.

i.e., turn on an output, a light, close/open a relay, etc. The following rule example turns on Output 003 for 10 seconds when a valid prox card/fob (with Access Option enabled) is read at Keypad 01. This could be used to break power to a door strike.

WHENEVER Keypad 01 Access is Activated

THEN Turn On Output 003 for 10 seconds.

** Numerous triggers may be used for a temperature type rule, i.e., time occurence, arming of the security system, opening of a zone, etc. However, the control does not allow a temperature reading to be used as a trigger. This helps prevent a false activation "runaway" that could occur simple because the temperature has fluctuated by a degree or fraction of a degree. Instead, the AND command is used to compare or "test" a temperature sensor reading against a target value, each time the trigger occurs. The target value is programmable and the compare options are "Equal to, Not equal to, Less than, and Greater than". The "Equal to" is not recommended as a compare option because it may be impossible for a temperature reading to be exactly at the target value when the trigger occurs.

TEMPERATURE READING ADJUSTMENT

If the Keypad internal temperature sensor appears to read higher or lower than other room thermostats/thermometers, it may be due to the Keypad mounting location, the room conditions, or the installation of a optional Mini Prox Reader (Ness-M1PR). The Keypad has an adjustment procedure which allows compensation for these conditions.

1. Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 seconds or until the LCD displays

Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)

NOTE: This mode may also be accessed by removing power from the keypad (unplugging the data bus cable) and then

applying power while holding any key pressed.

2. Press the F2 key and the LCD will display: Temperature Degrees F = XX.X (This is the current temperature)

3. Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to adjust the current temperature display until it approximates the desired setting. Each press of the arrow keys changes the setting by approximately 3 tenths of a degree (00.3) It may not be possible to end up exactly on an even temperature setting.

4. Press the Exit key twice do return back to the regular operation mode.
