This section of the manual titled ‘About the Alarm System’
is a thorough explanation of general system concepts and
how the alarm system works.
The next section of this manual titled ‘Operating the Alarm
System’ explains how the alarm system operates and
instructs on how to arm, disarm and omit zones.
The following section of the manual, titled ‘The User Menu’
is reserved for more detailed system information like
programming User codes and viewing the Event Log etc.
Overview
The 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 keypad is used to send commands to the system and
to display the current system status via the English text
display. The keypad also provides audible feedback each
time a key is pressed. Each keypad will be mounted in a
convenient location inside the protected premises, near
the designated points of entry/exit.
Global Zones
A zone that is assigned to more than one area will only be
monitored when all of the areas it is assigned to are
armed.
User Codes
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
areas to which they are assigned. Some User codes can
also access additional options such as, system tests and
omitting zones.
The User code may not allow access to certain system
functions. For instance, if the code is only allowed to arm
and disarm area A, it will not be able to arm or disarm
other areas, or the entire system.
Most User codes can arm and disarm areas assigned to them
from any keypad on the system. However, Local Users will
only be able to arm and disarm areas assigned to them, from
keypads assigned to the same areas.
Zones
A ‘zone’ is part of the protected premises and may consist
of one or more detection devices protecting rooms and
points of entry/exit, (e.g. front door, kitchen, downstairs
windows, upstairs bedrooms, etc.). When the alarm
system is fully armed, all of the zones on the system are
monitored
Some zones may belong to more than one area, such as
points of entry/exit i.e. the front door and the hallway.
These are called global zones because they are assigned
to multiple areas.

Areas
An ‘area’ is a group of one or more zones and would
normally be used to split the premises into different
sections. Each area can be either ‘Full’ armed or ‘Part’
armed.
Example 1: Domestic Premises
The upstairs of a house could be area A, the downstairs
could be area B and the garage could be area C.
Each area can be ‘Full’ armed independently from each
other (all detection devices in the area monitored). For
instance, downstairs and the garage in example 1 (areas B
& C) could be armed at night allowing access to the
upstairs of the house (area A).
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
!
Example 2: Domestic Premises
The entire house could be area A.
Each area can be ‘Part’ armed. For instance, detection
devices upstairs, i.e. PIR’s, could be programmed so that
they will not be monitored during a ‘Part’ arm, allowing
access to the upstairs of the house at night.
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
!
remier
&
User Manua
Example 3: Commercial Premises
Office 1 in an office block could be area A, office 2 could
be area B and office 3 could be area C.
Each area can be armed and disarmed independently from
each other. For instance, any of the offices in example 2
above could be armed and disarmed to allow access
without affecting the other offices.
All of the areas together form the entire alarm system.
!
Example 1: Office Block
The foyer of the office block in example 3 would need to
be armed when the last office is armed and disarmed
when the first office is disarmed.
Because the foyer is a global area (used by everyone) the
zones in that area need to be assigned to areas A, B and
C. This ensures that the zone is only recognised by the
system when ALL areas (A, B & C) are armed, allowing
access to the foyer even if one of the areas is still armed.
Monitoring
This alarm system is capable of reporting Intruder alarms,
Panic alarms, Fire alarms and other types of information
over telephone lines to an Alarm Receiving Centre. If you
accidentally set the alarm off, call the Alarm Receiving
Centre immediately to prevent an unnecessary response.
The monitoring function must be enabled before it
!
will work.

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 display will
show the zones that are active.
The display will look something like this:
F"(. -#N+ .R. ()1( L
IZ[M #-)' +)# '+.6
Active zones that will be secured during exit (e.g.
!
entry zones, like the front door) can be ignored, all
other zones should be secured.
To continue arming with a zone active, press
The internal sounders will bleep repeatedly (fault tone) and
the display will show the zones that are active.
The display will look something like this:
F"(. #553 #*> )1R .
?+"()#<""+
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 15
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
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
13 for details on clearing an Arm Fail).
The Ready LED
To help prevent faults during arming, a Ready light has
been provided. The Ready light works as follows:
•If the Ready light is on steady then all zones are
secure and the system is ready to be armed
• If the Ready light is flashing then the system has
zones (with the ‘Force Omit’ attribute) that are active,
check these zones before proceeding
• If the Ready light is off then one or more zones are
active, either secure or omit these zones before
proceeding

Setup Users
This section covers the alteration of existing users and the
addition of new users to the system. The Pre mi er 888 can be
assigned up to 49 users (plus Engineer) and the Premier8168 can be assigned up to 99 users (plus Engineer).
Default User Codes
When the control panel is first powered up and the factory
default settings are loaded, only the Engineer code and
the Master User code exist.
The factory default Master User code is
4,-1
4,-1
4,-14,-1
The Master User is always User 01.
!
If the Master User code has been lost or forgotten, it
can be reprogrammed by the Engineer.
Assigning New Users
Before assigning new users to the system, the following
should be decided:
• Which User number they will be assigned to
• What the User code number is going to be
• Which areas the user will need access to
• Which User type they will be
• Whether the user should be time locked
• What name will be assigned to the user
User Number
When users are assigned to the system, they need to be
identified by the control panel. Each user is identified as
Users 01 through to 49 (Premier 888) or 01 through to 99
(Premier 8168). User 00 is always the Engineer and User
01 is always the Master User.
.
0: Engineer
Engineers can arm, disarm, omit zones, silence alarms
and reset their assigned areas. In addition, Engineers can
access the Programming menu and all User menu options.
Engineers can also change their own User codes and
assign new users to the system.
The default Engineer User type (User 00) can assign
!
any User types to the system.
Engineers can only disarm areas that were armed
using an Engineer code. They cannot disarm any
areas that were armed with another User code.
1: Master
Master users can arm, disarm, omit zones, silence alarms
and reset their assigned areas. In addition, Master users
can access all User menu options. Master users can also
change their own User codes and assign new users to the
system. The Master user will also activate any output
programmed as ‘Door Strike’.
2: Manager
Manager users can arm, disarm, omit zones, silence
alarms and reset their assigned areas. In addition,
Manager users can access all User menu options except
Setup Users. Manager users can also change their own
User codes.
3: Standard
Standard users can arm, disarm, omit zones, silence alarms
and reset their assigned areas. In addition, Standard users
can access all User menu options except for Setup Users,
System Tests, and Change Timers. Standard users can also

User codes. The User code must be entered at a keypad
before the alarm system can be operated (see page 6 for
details).
User Areas
Any number of areas can be assigned to the selected user.
Assigning areas to a user determines which areas can be
armed, disarmed, reset etc. by that user. In addition,
assigning areas to a user determines which of the area
related functions i.e. omitting zones, silent arming etc. will
be available to that user.
User Types
The User type determines which functions are available to
the user i.e. arming, disarming, resetting etc. In addition, the
User also type determines which options the user can
access i.e. Setup Users, System Tests etc. The following
User types are available:

and view the event log.
7: Door Strike
Door strike users have no access to User functions or User
menu options. However, Door strike users will activate any
outputs programmed as ‘Door strike’ whenever their codes
are entered.
8: Vacation
Vacation users behave the same way as Standard users.
However, Vacation users will automatically be deleted the
first time that the Master User code (User 01) is used to
disarm the system.
