1.0 Using the System

1.1 An Overview

The ICU system may be set and unset by utilising either the on bored key pad on the control unit or by utilising a wireless remote control, which can also act as a Personal Attack button. The on board key pad is also used to program and change system features and settings.

ICU 23 key Pad ICU Wireless Remote Control

Setting and Un-setting the System

The system has four set levels “Full set”, “Part set 1” , “Part set 2” and “Part set 3”, when no protection is required the system is “day / unset”.

The System has two user codes, the master user code which is “1234” and the standard secondary user code which is “5678”. The Secondary user code is not enabled by factory default, and must be enabled by the engineer before it can be used.

Both user codes can be used to set, unset and reset the system, but only the master user code can make programming changes to the system.

Code Protection

Incorrect code entry is protected with an automatic keypad lockout, should the code be entered incorrectly Five times the key pad will lockout for 1 minute, and will not respond to key presses. If this occurs wait 1 minute then re-enter the correct code.

Programming and Enabling Features.

The ICU W16 has many programmable features allowing the user to personalise the system, such as programmable user and secondary user codes, chimes zones,

Walk testing

At regular intervals the system should be fully tested by walk testing the intruder detection devices and remote PA devices, testing the external sounder and strobe unit and testing any signalling devices such as digital dialling devices.

2.0 Setting and Unsetting the System

Setting and Un-setting

When arming the system, check that all doors and windows (particularly those fitted with a door/window contact) are securely closed and that all PIR detectors have an unobstructed view of the areas they cover, If the users attempts to set the system while any zones are open the control unit will provide a bad bleep and return to day mode, and will not set. To “set / arm” the system ensure all windows and doors are closed and set the system.

Once armed, the display on the control unit will go blank and the external strobe will activate for 5 seconds confirming the system has set after you have left the premises

During the exit timer if any “Entry / Exit” zones or “walkthrough” zones are triggered they will be ignored, if any instant zones are triggered the alarm system will activate a local alarm and sound the internal sounders, to silence the alarm the code will need to be entered to cancel the activation.

2.1 Simple Full Arming of the System using the onboard keypad

Before attempting to arm the system, check that all doors and windows (particularly those fitted with a door/window contact) are securely closed and that all PIR detectors have an unobstructed view of the areas they cover.

Quick key sequence

Press the following keys:

User or secondary user exit premises

Detailed Explanation

Press the following keys:

User or Secondary user OK beep, and display shows “ 0 0 ” flashing.

2.2 Disarming System into “Day / unset”

When the system is in “Day / unset” the user is in residence and requires no intruder alarm protection. In “Day / unset” mode the PA and all tamper are still active.

Quick key sequence

Press the following keys:

User or secondary user

Detailed Explanation

Enter the premises or protected area first passing through “Zone 1” or any entry/ exit / zones, The control unit will begin to beep slowly indicating that you must disarm the alarm system within the entry exit time (30 seconds default entry as with the exit timer, the beeps get faster in the last 10 seconds of the entry time. During the entry timer walkthrough zones will also act and entry exit zones also known as time inhibited zones

User or Secondary user OK beep, and display shows “ 0 0 ” flashing.

This is the procedure to follow when disarming the system under normal circumstances (i.e. there has been no alarm condition while the system was armed).

2.3 Part Set arming the system (Omitting Zones)

Quick key sequence

Press the following keys:

User or secondary user Leave protected area

Detailed Explanation

Press the following keys:

User or Secondary user OK beep, and display shows “ 0 0 ” flashing.

or or Exit countdown commences and the control unit beeps slowly, the

displays shows “ p 1 ” or “ p 2 ” or “ p 3 ” .

During the last 10 seconds of the exit countdown, the beeping gets

faster as a final warning to leave the premises.

Once armed, the display on the control unit will go blank and the external strobe will activate for 5 seconds confirming the system has set after you have left the premises

During the exit timer if any “Entry / Exit” zones or “walkthrough” zones are triggered they will be ignored, if any instant zones are triggered the alarm system will activate a local alarm, sounding the internal sounders, to silence the alarm the code will need to be entered to cancel the activation.

Exit timer is factory set at 30 seconds.

2.4 Quick Setting the System.

Quick setting allows the user to arm the system more quickly by reducing exit timer. The are two options for quick setting, either to reduce the exit time to 10 seconds (see 2.4.1) or set the system instantly with no exit time (see 2.4.2) . Quick set is extremely useful at night when part setting the system as it reduces the length of time the control panel will bleep before setting.

2.4.1 Reduced Exit Timer.

Setting the system with a reduced exit timer allows the user to arm the system with an exit time of 10 seconds rather than standard user programmed exit time.

To utilise reduced exit time (quick set) simply press the following

Quick key sequence

The system will now set in 10 seconds, the beeping gets faster

as a final warning to leave the premises. Once armed, the display on the control unit will go blank and the external strobe will activate for 5 seconds confirming the system has set after you have left the premises.

During the exit timer if any “Entry / Exit” zones or “walkthrough” zones are triggered they will be ignored, if any instant zones are triggered the alarm system will activate a local alarm, sounding the internal sounders, to silence the alarm the code will need to be entered to cancel the activation.

2.5 Disarming and Resetting the after an Alarm Activation

2.5.1 Disarming and Resetting after an Alarm activation

If an alarm activation has occurred, the internal and external sounders will stop sounding after the reprogrammed siren duration (10 minutes factory default and re-programmable).

When returning to premises with previously activated alarm system the sounder may have stopped sounding and the external strobe as has continued to flash.

Instead of the entry timer, the control unit will beep every few seconds and the internal siren will sound when zone 1 is triggered or any other entry zone is triggered.

Quick key sequence

Enter User or secondary user Ö activated zones displayed

Repeat as Necessary.

Detailed Explanation

Enter the following;

User or

Secondary user

OK beep, the display shows the first alarm activation event, ie, “0 1 ,0 2 , 0 3 ….1 6 “ for wireless, and “D 1 ,D 2 , D 3, D 4” . If the display flashes, then more than one alarm event has occurred

Display shows next alarm event flashing ie, “0 1 ,0 2 , 0 3 ….1 6 “ for wireless, and “D 1 ,D 2 , D 3, D 4” for wired. In the unlikely event that

several alarm events have taken place since the system was armed, press “ Forward “ again to view the further events, the last alarm event will not flash when displayed, pressing “ Forward “ again returns to the first alarm event.

Displays changes to “ 0 0 ” ,the control unit to returns to “day / unset”

The “ Reset“ key can be pressed at any time to cancel the above procedure and return the control unit to “day / unset”.

2.5.2 Disarming and Resetting the system when the alarm is sounding.

If you accidentally trigger a detector when the system is armed, then the external and internal siren will sound and the external strobe will flash. If an attempt was made to tamper with any part of the system with the control unit in “day / unset”, then only the internal siren will sound.

To silence the system in such a case, follow the procedure in section ‘4.4.
