Overview Premier Series User Guide
1. Overview
Introduction
Users of the alarm system will be assigned a unique 4, 5 or 6 digit User code. User
codes are used to arm and disarm the system. Some User codes can also access
additional options such as, system tests and omitting zones.
Keypads will be installed throughout the premises, usually one at each entry/exit door.
The keypads are used to perform all of the system operations i.e. Arming, Disarming etc.
Most User codes can be used at any keypad on the system. However, Local Users will only
be able to use certain keypads on the system.
The Emergency Keys
In case of emergency, the alarm system can provide three immediate emergency alarms
by pressing and holding two specific keys for two seconds.
The emergency keys can be enabled/disabled for each keypad on the system.

The Panic alarm can be programmed for either audible or silent operation.
The Panic alarm can be programmed for either instant or delayed operation.

Premier Series User Guide Overview
LED Indicators
Five LED indicators have been provided to indicate the status of the system.
LED Status Meaning
Power On AC mains is present on the control panel
Flashing AC Mains is not present, the control panel is running on the standby battery
Service On The system requires attention, contact your installer
Off The system does NOT require attention
Ready On All zones are secure and the system is ready to be armed
Off One or more zones are active
Flashing The system has zones (with the ‘Force Omit’ attribute) that are active
Info. On The system is armed (can also be programmed for other indications)
Off The system is unarmed (can also be programmed for other indications)
Omit On One or more zones are omitted
Off No zones are omitted
Zone Faults During Arming
Before attempting to arm the system, ensure that the premises are secure (all doors and
windows closed etc.) and the Ready light is on.
If an attempt is made to arm the system with any zones active (e.g. door ajar, open
window, etc.) the internal sounders will bleep repeatedly (fault tone) and the display will
show the zones that are active.
The fault tone will stop and the exit tone will resume when all zones are secure. If it is
necessary to leave a zone open then it must be omitted (see page 8 for details).
If an active zone cannot be secured then it may be ‘in fault’, in this case contact
!"
the alarm company immediately.
Arm Fail - Failing to Arm
If the exit procedure is started and zones are still ‘Active’ at the end of the exit procedure,
an Internal alarm will occur (internal sounders only) and the strobe light on the external
sounder will flash.
If this occurs the arm fail must be cleared and the zone in fault identified before the
!"
system can be armed (see page 6 for details on clearing an Arm Fail).
The Ready LED
To help prevent faults during arming a Ready light has been provided, see table above
for details on how the Ready LED operates.
