Premier 412/816/832 Master User Manual About the Alarm System
1. About the Alarm System
Introduction
Your alarm system consists of a control panel, one or more
keypads and various detectors and sensors. The control
panel will normally be mounted out of sight in a utility room
or basement etc. The control panel houses the system’s
electronics and stand-by battery. There is normally no
reason for anyone except an installer or service person to
have access to the control panel.
The remote keypad is used to send commands to the
system and to display the current system status via the
various coloured lights (LED’s). The keypad also provides
audible feedback each time a key is pressed. Each keypad
will be mounted in convenient locations inside the protected
premises, near designated points of entry/exit.
Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct
you on your system’s operation. Become familiar with the
features that have been implemented on your system. All
users of this system should be equally instructed in its use.
About this Manual
This manual is a thorough explanation of all system
functions, including troubleshooting and programming
Access codes in addition to performing basic system
functions. Most users of the system will not need to know all
of this information. The section of this manual, titled
“Operating your Alarm System” explains general system
concepts and instructs the user on how to arm and disarm
the system and bypass zones. The remaining sections of the
manual are reserved for more detailed system information.
Fire Detection
This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection
devices such as smoke detectors and providing a warning
alarm if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection
depends on having adequate numbers of fire detectors
placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be
installed in accordance with the relevant local authority fire
regulations. Carefully review the “Fire Escape Planning”
guidelines in this manual.
Your installer must enable the fire detection feature of
"
this equipment before it will work.
Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and
emergency information over telephone lines to an alarm
monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm,
immediately call the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) to
prevent an unnecessary response.
Your installer must enable the monitoring function
"
before it will work.
Zones and Partitions
Your installer has divided the protected premises into zones
and partitions. A zone is an area of protection that has one
or more detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors,
glass-break detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). A
single zone might be a room, a hallway or a door or window.
Two or more of these zones will be linked together by the
control panel to form a partition.
A partition is an area of the protected premises. A partition
can be armed and disarmed independently from other
partitions. All of the partitions together form the entire alarm
system. If your alarm system is not divided into partitions
then all devices will be assigned to Partition 1.
Some zones may belong to more than one partition, such as
points of entry/exit and hallways. These are called Global Zones because they are not assigned to a single partition.
The following table shows the number of zones and
partitions for the Premier 412, 816 & 832 control panels:
Control Panel Partitions Zones Zones (max)
Premier 412 2 4 12
Premier 816 4 8 16
Premier 832 4 8 32
Access Codes
As a user of the alarm system, you will be assigned a 4, 5 or
6 digit Access code. Access codes are used to arm and
disarm the partition(s) to which they are assigned. Some
Access codes can perform additional system functions,
such as programming system options, bypassing zones and
performing system tests.
Your Access code may not allow you to access certain
system functions. For instance, if your code is only allowed
to arm and disarm Partition 1, you will not be able to arm or
disarm other partitions, or the entire system.
Your Access code may also be programmed for Global Access. A Global Access code can be used at any keypad
and will allow you to arm and disarm any of the partitions
assigned to your code. Alternatively your code may be
programmed for Partition Access. A Partition Access code
will only allow you to arm and disarm the partitions that are
assigned to both the keypad and your code.

Premier 412, 816 & 832 control panels:

Remote Keypads
One or more remote keypads will be installed throughout
the protected premises, usually one at each entry/exit door.
Each remote keypad is normally assigned to the partition
that it is going to control. A keypad can be assigned to more
than one partition, if required (global keypad).
Keypad Types
The following keypad types are available:
Premier RKP4: The Premier RKP4 is the standard remote
keypad for the Premier 412 control panel. This remote
keypad has 4 zone indicator lights and four status lights

•If you make a mistake whilst entering your Access code,
simply enter the correct Access code.
Arming & Disarming the Alarm System
Checking if the System is Ready to Arm
To help prevent faults during arming, a Ready light has
been provided on each keypad. The Ready light works as
follows:
•If the Ready light is on steady then the alarm system is
ready to be armed.
•If the Ready light is flashing then the alarm system has
bypassed zones and/or Force Armable zones that are
violated, check these zones before proceeding.
•If the Ready light is off then one or more zones are
violated, either secure or bypass these zones before
proceeding. The keypads will display the zones that are
violated:

Changing to another Partition
Normally the remote keypad that you use will be assigned to
a particular partition and therefore the zone and status lights
will indicate information relevant to the assigned partition.
However, you can temporarily switch the remote keypad to a
different partition so that the zone and status lights indicate
the information relevant to the partition that you have
selected. Whilst in this mode you can also use your Access
code to arm/disarm the partition you have selected
(providing you have access to the selected partition).
In order to use the cross partitioning feature, it is
recommend that the system is configured as follows:
• Cross partitioning must be enabled.
• The user must be assigned to multiple partitions.
• The user should be set for “Local Partition Access Only”,
see page 18.
•The remote keypads should only be assigned to a
single partition.

installed, clean and in good working order? Have a
professional evaluate these appliances.
Fire Alarm Operation
Alarm
On a fire alarm, the bell or siren will pulse ON and OFF. If
your system is fitted with a Premier RKP8/16 Plus then the
Fire light will be illuminated. The alarm is also transmitted to
the Alarm Receiving Centre, if your installer has enabled this
feature.
Silence
To silence the bell or siren, enter your Access code.
Resetting Smoke Detectors
Once the smoke detector is reset, if it still detects smoke, the
alarm sequence will resound as described above. If there is
no smoke, the system will return to normal operation.
" To reset smoke detectors, proceed as follows:
1. Enter your Access code 6666.
2. Press the - key followed by the " key. If your
system is fitted with either a Premier RKP8/16 Plus or
LCD remote keypad then press the3 key.
3. The keypad will bleep and the alarm system will reset
all latching detectors.
If you suspect that a fire alarm has transmitted and
"
that there is no fire condition, call the alarm receiving
centre to avoid an unnecessary response. If a fire
condition is apparent, follow your evacuation plan
immediately. If the alarm sounds at night, evacuate
immediately.
The description above may not be applicable
depending on how your installer has programmed the
fire alarm operations on your system. Ask your
installer for more information regarding your system's
operation.
Household Fire Safety Audit
Most fires occur in the home. To minimise the risk of fire, it is
recommended that a household safety audit is conducted
and a fire escape plan is developed.
•Are all electrical appliances and outlets in a safe
condition? Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting
circuits, etc. If you are uncertain about the condition of
your electrical appliances or household service, have a
professional evaluate these units.
•Are all flammable liquids stored safely in closed
containers in a well ventilated cool area? Cleaning with
flammable liquids should be avoided.
•Are fire hazardous materials (matches) well out of reach
of children?
Fire Escape Planning
There is often very little time between the detection of a fire
and the time it becomes deadly. It is therefore very important
that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.
1. Every family member should participate in developing
the escape plan.
2. Study the possible escape routes from each location
within the house. Since many fires occur at night,
special attention should be given to the escape routes
from sleeping quarters.
3. Escape from a bedroom must be possible without
opening the interior door. Consider the following when
making your escape plans:
•Make sure that all perimeter doors and windows are
easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut
and that their locking mechanisms operate
smoothly.
•If opening or using the exit is too difficult for
children, the elderly or handicapped, plans for
rescue should be developed. This includes making
sure that those who are to perform the rescue can
promptly hear the fire warning signal.
•If the exit is above the ground level, an approved
fire ladder or rope should be provided as well as
training in its use.
•Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be
sure to remove snow from exterior patio doors in
winter; outdoor furniture or equipment should not
block exits.
•Each person should know of a predetermined
assembly point where everyone can be accounted
for i.e. across the street or at a neighbour's house.
Once everyone is out of the building, call the Fire
Services.
•A good plan emphasises quick escape. Do not
investigate or attempt to fight the fire, and do not
gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable
time. Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait
for the Fire Services.
•Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it
frequently so that should an emergency arise,
everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as
conditions change, such as the number of people in
the home, or if there are changes to the building's
construction.

Fire Safety & Maintenance Premier 412/816/832 Master User Manual
•Make sure your fire warning system is operational
by conducting weekly tests (see “Fire Alarm
Operation” on page 21). If you are unsure about
system operation, contact your installing dealer.
•We recommend that you contact your local fire
department and request further information on fire
safety and escape planning. If available, have your
local fire prevention officer conduct an in-house fire
safety inspection.
Maintenance
With normal use, the system requires minimum
maintenance. The following points should be observed.
1. Do not wash the security control panel or keypads with
a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth
should remove normal accumulations of dust.
2. The battery test is designed to determine battery
condition. We recommend, however, that the stand-by
batteries are replaced every five years.
3. For other system devices such as smoke detectors,
passive infrared, ultrasonic or microwave motion
detectors or glass-break detectors, consult the
respective manufacturer’s literature for testing and
maintenance.
