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.

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.

To OMIT Zones
It is possible to exclude (omit) individual zones when arming i.e. if a zone is ‘in fault’. Users
with access to this function can only omit zones that have been programmed as ‘Omittable’.
If the zone can be omitted, there will be a ‘Star’ to the right of the zone number.

Only zones that have the ‘Omit’ attribute assigned to them can be omitted.
A ‘Star’ will appear to the left of the zone number to indicate that the zone has been
selected for omitting.
All omitted zones will be automatically reinstated the next time the system is
disarmed, unless programmed otherwise.
To re-instate zones manually, simply follow the instructions again. However, when
the
key is pressed on this occasion, the zones will be re-instated.
