SIGMA "APOLLO"

“APOLLO" control panel manufactured, by SIGMA SECURITY is a
modern, state of the art, security system which can cover the security
needs of a household, or an office. It has been designed to combine
easiness of use and the best possible security.
In this manual is described in detail, the use and operation of this
unit, so that you understand and take full advantage of its capabilities.
For any further questions, please contact the technician who has carried
out the installation of the system.
In order to better understand the settings and the operation of the
system, read carefully the explanation of the main terms, which you will
find in this manual.

• ZONE: it is a specific region of the protected area, which can be

protected by magnetic contacts, P.I.R. detectors, Glass Break detector
etc. Furthermore, smoke, gas or humidity detectors can be connected
in a single or various zones. Zones, depending on their mode of
operation, may be characterized as:

Internal: these zones are bypassed when you activate home arming.
(Arming the system, while, you stay in the house).
Perimeter: these zones are armed, if the panel is armed, regardless
the arming mode of the panel (HOME, or AWAY). These zones may
be bypassed.
24 hours: these zones are always armed, regardless the condition of
the panel (wether the panel is armed or disarmed).

• BYPASS: is the operation by which you temporarily deactivate any

zone(s), while you arm the system.

• Code: It is the 4-digit, 5-digit, or 6-digit number, which you must use

for arming, disarming and user programming of the system.

• Automatic Arming and Disarming: is the capability of the system

to automatically arm and disarm at a specific time and day(s), of the
week.

• Quick Arming: is the arming of the system by using only a single

digit number and [ENTER], instead of the entire code.

• Partitions: is the capability of the system to operate at two different

partitions (fully independent subsystems).

• Chime: The keypad buzzer sounds for a second, when specific zones

are unbalanced. This takes place, only, if the system is disarmed.
The chime function may be used in a store to annunciate the arrival of
a customer every time the front door opens.

• Central Station: this is the Security Company where your system

reports to, via the telephone line, and which monitors all system’s
functions for 24 hours a day, responsible to contact the authorities or
the authorized persons.

INDICATIONS AND USE OF THE KEYPAD

The keypad is used for the programming and the control of operation
of the system. On the front of the keypad there are 12 or 16 LED
indicators (depends on the type of keypad), a single digit LED Display
and 16 keys.

In every keypad you have the indication of the partition it belongs to.
You may change partitions, using a valid code. This operation is described
in the relative chapter of this book.

INDICATION LED's

• GREEN (ARM-DISARM): It turns on when the system is disarmed

and switched off when it is armed (this is a programmable function
and may change in the installer menu). During HOME arming it

will blink, if the entry zone(s) will operate as delay zone(s).

• YELLOW (POWER): Turns on to indicate that the panel is supplied

normally by the 220V mains power and turns off to indicate Mains
Power Loss. When the voltage of the battery is low it blinks as
follows:

1. Three short flashes and a longer flash, when there is Mains Power

and the battery’s voltage is low.

2. Three short flashes and a pause, when there is Mains power Loss

and the battery’s voltage is low.

• RED (TROUBLE): Turns on when there is a problem in the system

(alarm, power failure, drop of battery voltage, over-current, and time
loss).

• BYPASS: It blinks if there are Bypassed Zones or when you

program which zones will be bypassed.

• READY: It turns on if all zones of the system are balanced, and the

system is ready to arm.

• ZONE 01 - ZONE 16: They indicate the zone(s) status. When they

are off the zones are balanced. When a LED is on the relative zone is
unbalanced or has a problem. If during arming one or more are
blinking along with the LED "BYPASS", then the relative zones
will be bypassed.

• During programming, on the LED DISPLAY, you may see the

programmed values.

ATTENTION: At the end of exit delay, the keypad LED's turn

off. It turns on if a delay zone is unbalanced or if a key is pressed.
The illumination LED's also turn off if within 1 minute, no key is
pressed.

KEYS

• 0 - 9: Numeric keys. They are used to enter numbers, during arming,

CODES – ACCESS LEVELS

The system has 97 codes for arming and disarming the system, which

can be from 4 to 6 digits. These codes can also be used for the system’s
programming and the operation of the system .
By providing a different code to each person that uses the system, you
have the capability to be aware who disarmed the alarm and, depending on
the access level of the code, you can limit the access capabilities to the
operation of the system.

All codes may be programmed to one of the six access levels, except
code 01 that, can change access level. The abilities, of the various codes
are displayed in the following table:

MAIN CODE: Is code 01. It has the capability of arming and disarming

the partition (partitions) it has access to and it is the only one that may
program:

¾ All codes and the quick arming digit
¾ Current time and date
¾ The time and days of automatic arming and disarming
¾ The feature of arming and disarming via Download

PARTITION MAIN CODE: Arms and disarms the partition (partition)
to which it belongs and the partitions it has access to. It sets up or deletes the
codes, cards and remote controls that belong to its partition. Furthermore, it

Page 6 User Manual APOLLO

sets up the display type on the screen, the thermostat and activates or
deactivates the Chime mode of its partition.

TWO-USE CODE: It can be used only two times, to arm and disarm

the alarm. After the two uses it is deleted and needs to be programmed again.
It is programmed, like all codes, from the main code or the partition main
code.

DURESS CODE: It is the code that you must use when you are

threatened to disarm the alarm, so that, along with the disarming of the panel,
a PANIC event will be reported to the central station indicating the
circumstances under which the disarming took place.

PROGRAMMING, EDITING, DELETING CODES

Initially, use the main user code (01) to program all other codes.

Then, you may use the main code of every partition to edit, program

or delete user codes on this partition.

To program, or edit a user code, press:

[CODE] [Χ] [Χ] [NEW USER CODE] [ENTER]

, [Χ] [X], is the increasing number of the code (01...97).

[Χ] [Χ], is the increasing number of the code (01...97).
To delete any user code, press [CODE] [Χ] [Χ] [ENTER].

[Χ] [Χ], is the increasing number of the code to be deleted (02...97).
The main user code can not be deleted.

PROGRAMMING THE QUICK ARMING NUMBER

The system can be armed using a single digit number (Quick Arm
Number), which is common for both partitions. If the quick arming

number is used to arm the system, it will arm only the partition in which
the keypad you use belongs to. The panel will report the quick arming to
the Central Station.

Press, [CODE] [9] [8] [Χ]. [Χ]=[0-9], is the quick arming number.
Only main user code can program the quick arming number. This function
is disabled in factory default programming.
