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

Your installer has divided the protected premises into zones. A zone is an area of protection that has one or more detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). A single zone might be a room, a hallway or a door or window.

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 system. Some Access codes can perform additional system functions, such as programming system options, bypassing zones and performing system tests.

Remote Keypads

One or more remote keypads will be installed throughout the protected premises, usually one at each entry/exit door.

Keypad Types

The following keypad types are available:

Premier RKP8 SP: The Premier RKP8 SP is the standard remote keypad for the Premier 8SP control panel. This remote keypad has 8 zone indicator lights and four status lights (Alarm, Service, Armed and Ready).

Premier RKP16 SP: As Premier RKP8 SP with 16 zone indicator lights. This keypad is normally used when the system is expanded to 16 zones.

Premier RKP8 Plus: The Premier RKP8 Plus has all the features of the standard Premier RKP8 SP plus dedicated indications for Fire, Bypass, Instant and Stay. It also features two programmable zone inputs that can be utilised by your installer for detection devices close to the location of the remote keypad.

Premier RKP16 Plus: As Premier RKP8 Plus with 16 zone indicator lights. This keypad is normally used when the system is expanded to 16 zones.

Premier LCD: The Premier LCD has a standard size 32 character back-lit Liquid Crystal Display. It also features two programmable zone inputs that can be utilised by your installer for detection devices close to the location of the remote keypad.

Premier LCDL: The Premier LCDL has a large size 32 character back-lit Liquid Crystal Display. It also features two programmable zone inputs that can be utilised by your installer for detection devices close to the location of the remote keypad.

Premier LCDP: As Premier LCD with a built in proximity tag reader.

Premier LCDLP: As Premier LCDL with a built in proximity tag reader.

2. Operating the Alarm System

Introduction

Before attempting to operate the alarm system ensure you have familiarised yourself with all the arming and disarming methods covered in this section.

Access Codes

• 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 prevents 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:

Zone 01 Active Front Door

Active zones are scrolled

in sequence on LCD keypads

Active zones are indicated by

the relevant zone lights on

LED Keypads

If any unbypassed zones that are not enabled for “Force Arming” are violated at the end of the exit delay this is termed an exit error and the alarm system will go into fail set state (internal alarm). If programmed by the installer the external bell will also sound. Enter a valid user Access code to silence this alarm.

Away Arming

The Away arming mode is normally used when leaving the premises. When the system is armed in this mode all detection zones will be armed.

The Ready light must be on steady before the alarm system can be Away armed.

Service Faults

The response to a Service Fault condition is programmed by the installer but is normally limited to the keypad buzzer. To silence the Service Fault alarm, enter your Access code.

A flashing Service light indicates a new fault condition. The alarm system cannot be armed whilst a new fault exists. The Service light will remain flashing until the new fault is acknowledged, after which it will revert to a steady yellow and the alarm system can be armed. The Service light will remain steady until all faults have been cleared.

After a new Service Fault has been acknowledged the Service light will revert to steady yellow and the alarm system can be armed. The Service light will remain steady yellow until all faults have been cleared.

AC Fail and Telephone Line Fault can each have a delay programmed. The Service light will turn steady yellow immediately on either of these faults but no Service Fault Alarm (transmission or audible alarm) will occur unless the delay expires.

If your installer has disabled AC fail acknowledgement the Service light will flash “rapidly” during an AC fail condition. The system can be armed without requiring acknowledgement of this fault.

5. Fire Safety & Maintenance

Fire Safety

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:

4. Enter your Access code 5555.

5. Press the 2 key.

6. 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?

• Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed, clean and in good working order? Have a professional evaluate these appliances.

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.

• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests (see “Fire Alarm Operation” on page 19). If you are unsure about system operation, contact your installing dealer.

Page 20

Fire Safety & Maintenance Premier 8SP Master User Manual

20 INS237

• 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.
