The Ness R16 is a unique fully self-contained
radio control panel.

The panel has a built-in keypad for programming
and user operation, a built-in piezo siren, built­in LCD display, built-in radio receiver, built-in
battery backup and built-in dialler.

The R16 supports up to 16 Ness Radio PIRs and
up to 14 Ness Radio Keys. All Ness supervised
and encrypted radio devices are supported.
There is even a Doorbell feature with selectable
tunes when used with the Ness Radio Doorbell
transmitter. (If the radio doorbell is available in
the local frequency).

In addition to radio devices, the R16 has 1
hardwired zone and 1 hardwired tamper input
for connection of a wired detection device and
external siren cover tamper switch.

The built-in piezo siren provides high volume
audible warning. The R16 also has Siren,
Piezo and Strobe outputs for additional
hardwired noisemakers.

The R16 has a number of sophisticated power
saving features designed to provide at least
48 hours service running on the backup
battery alone. (This includes one full alarm
condition with sirens, strobe and dialler).

The built-in dialler uses Contact ID format for
central station monitoring as well as audible
monitoring to any telephone. The user can
also dial into the system for remote arming
and disarming over the telephone line.

COMPATIBILITY

The Ness R16 supports all Ness radio devices as shown below. All late model Ness
transmitters send encrypted transmissions to prevent eavesdropping and substitution. Ness
fixed transmitters can send a regular supervision signal which the R16 monitors to ensure
system security.

NESS R16 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL

OPERATION

OPERATING MODES

The Ness R16 will operate in one of the following
modes:

Armed. The system is “On” and ready to
detect intrusion.

disArmed. The system is “Off”. This is
the normal mode when the premises are
occupied. Day Zones and 24 Hour Zones such
as external siren tamper, if used, are active.

dAy mode.

The system is Disarmed and a zone
or zones have been setup to create an alarm
when activated. Often used as a doorway alert
in a shop.

monitor mode.

Allows the system to be
“partially” Armed. For example, in a house, to
allow all perimeter zones, doors and windows,
to be Monitored (armed) at night.

24Hr Zones. Zones that have been setup to be
active in any mode. Usually used for Tamper
switches and Panic buttons.

doorbell.

The doorbell can be triggered

using the optional Ness Doorbell transmitter

The doorbell function has adjustable volume

and selectable chime settings. Operates in any

panel mode.

ALARMS, DEFINITION

Alarms may be caused by:

• A zone has been triggered while Armed

• A Tamper has been triggered

• A PANIC button has been triggered

All of these may cause your sirens and strobe
to operate. Various visual indications relevant
to the alarm will be retained in the memory. If
this occurs, Disarming your control panel will
reset the alarm. The cause of the alarm can be
identified by entering the Alarm Memory Mode
as described on page 18.

RESETTING ALARMS

To stop the siren/s or to reset the strobe light if
it is still flashing* (if installed), reset the panel
using the keypad by entering a valid keypad
code followed by the E button, or press the OFF
button on a valid Radio Key.

To check the cause of the alarm, you can view
the event memory as shown on page 18.

* In the event of an alarm, the strobe light will
continue to flash until the panel is reset by the
keypad or radio key, otherwise it will time out
after 11 hours. (If mains power is disconnected,
the panel will reset the strobe light output after
1 hour to conserve the backup battery).

OPERATION SUMMARY

Note:
Monitor Mode arming will be ignored if no monitor zones are programmed.

10

NESS R16 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL

OPERATION

The control panel must be armed to enable
detection zones.

Arming the panel starts the exit delay timer. All
zones are inactive during this time and become
fully armed once the exit delay time expires.
(End of exit delay is signalled by 3 beeps from
the keypad beeper).

The factory default exit delay time is 60 seconds.
This can be changed if necessary, see the
programming section in this manual.

The panel must initially be in the disarmed
state and not in Program, Monitor, Memory or
Exclude modes.

Note: If the panel is already in alarm, you must
first silence the alarm before you can arm.

At the end of the exit time, all zones should be
Sealed. If any are Unsealed, the onboard siren
and the external siren, (if installed), will sound a
lower volume tone for 2 seconds as a warning
that those zones have been automatically
excluded. For maximum security, you should
return, disarm the panel, check the premises
and then Arm again. Continual warnings could
mean that a detector is faulty and may have to
be manually excluded.

If the auto-exclude option is disabled by your
installer and a zone is unsealed at the end of exit
time, the siren will sound for 5 minutes, (5 minutes
is the factory default siren duration).

[User Code]

ARMING

...or

To Arm the system using the onboard keypad,
press ARM followed by a valid user code, followed
by the E key.

To Arm the system using a Radio Key
press the ON button.

If Siren Chirps have been enabled by
your installer, the strobe light output will
flash and the onboard siren will 'chirp' once
to indicate successful arming.

The Arming Shortcut is enabled by default, this
allows arming without having to enter your user
code. (The Arming Shortcut can be disabled by
your installer).
