Partitioning

Partitioning allows you to divide the system into three independently controllable areas with different users assigned to
each partition whereby each user can arm the partition to which they are assigned. For detailed information on
Partitioning, see APPENDIX B.

Screen Saver

For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the status

indication (LCD and LED display) on the KP-250 PG2

keypad from a potential intruder.
When the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more than 10 seconds, the

display will turn off and the LEDs will stop indicating any status.
Pressing any key will resume the normal status display. Pressing the Fire, Emergency or Panic keys will also initiate the

Fire, Emergency or Panic alarm.
If configured by the installer for additional security, the system will ask you to enter your user code or to present your

proximity tag before resuming the normal display.

When partition is enabled, the installer can configure the system so that if no key is pressed during more than 30
seconds the date and time will appear on the display.

Proximity Tags

Your system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled to the sy

stem. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety

of functions without entering a user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc.

1. Whenever the user code is required, you can simply present a valid proximity tag and perform the desired operation
without the need to key-in your user code.

- OR -

2. When the system is disarmed and after presenting a valid proximity tag to the KP-250 PG2 keypad, the message

"<OK> for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press the

button to immediately arm the system, or, press the

button once / twice – the message “<OK> for HOME” / “<OK> for disarm” is displayed – and then press the

button for HOME arming / disarming.1

Note: If you do not press the

button (wait for 3 seconds), the system automatically arms AWAY and the display

will read "ARMING AWAY PLEASE EXIT NOW". Presenting the proximity tag once again will DISARM the system.

Users and Codes

Security codes are used mainly to arm and disarm the system or t

o access information that is restricted only to

authorized users (see Chapter 6, section B.4, Programming User Codes).

1

In option 2, the KP-250 PG2 keypad will not operate (respond) if the KP-250 PG2 is assigned to two or more

partitions.

Arming and Disarming the System

Basic Arming and Disarming

Following are a set of procedures for performing basic arming an

d disarming of the alarm system.

Preparing to Arm

Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.

HH:MM READY

This indicates that all zones are secured and you may arm the system as desired.

If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will read:

HH:MM NOT READY

This indicates that the system is not ready for arming and in most cases that one or more
zones are not secured. However, it can also mean that an unresolved condition exists
such as certain trouble conditions, jamming etc., depending on system configuration.

To review the open zones click on the KP-250 PG2 keypad. The details and location of the first open zone

detector (usually an open door or window sensor) will be displayed. To fix the open zone, locate the sensor and secure

it (close the door or window) – see "device locator" below. Each click of on the KP-250 PG2 keypad will display

another open zone or trouble indication. It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus restoring the system to

the state of “ready to arm”. If you do not know how to do this, consult your installer.

Note: To quit at any stage and to revert to the "READY" display, click

on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.

Device Locator: The PowerMaster system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or troubled
devices indicated on the LCD display. While the LCD displays an open or faulty device, the LED on the respective
device flashes indicating "it's me". The "it's me" indication will appear on the device within max. 16 seconds and will
last for as long as the LCD displays the device.

Arming ‘AWAY' / ‘HOME'

If the system is READY and/or Forced Arming is enabled proceed as shown below. For more information on Forced

Arming, see "Forced Arming AWAY or HOME" below.

If the system is NOT READY and Forced Arming is not permitted, review any open zone detectors to locate and secure
them.

If you want to arm using partitions, see "Partition Selection Process" and then proceed as shown below.

If the user has changed the state of the system from a high security mode to a lower security mode i.e. from ARM to
DISARM, or from AWAY to HOME, he will be prompted to enter the user code or to present his proximity tag thus
bypassing the QUICK ARM option.

Disarming and Stopping Alarm

Enter the protected premises via a delayed zone. Upon detecting your entrance, the system will start sounding the entry
delay beeps alerting you to disarm the system before the entry delay ends.

After disarming, different displays may appear indicating that the system is in a state of alarm MEMORY. The MEMORY
message will disappear only upon rearming the system. To disarm the system, proceed as shown:

disarmed state.

Disarming under Duress

If you are forcibly compelled to disarm the system, enter the duress code (2580 by default) or another code set by the
installer. Disarming will take place normally but a silent alarm will be transmitted to the monitoring station.

Partition Selection Process

Access to any desired partition is achieved through the use of an individual code or proximity tag. It is not possible to
access the INSTALLER MENU if one or more partitions are in the AWAY or HOME modes.

Before attempting to perform any operation on any given partition(s), it is necessary to perform the operations below
which enable you to select the desired/allowed partition(s) using the individual code or proximity tag:

PRESS RESULTING DISPLAY

SELECT PARTITION

Enter partition # (1 - 3)

Forced Arming AWAY or HOME

Forced arming allows you to arm the system even if the system is "NOT READY". Any open zones will be bypassed for
the duration of arming.

Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer “protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit delay until
the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.

Arming in the Latchkey Mode

This mode, if enabled by the installer, is useful for a parent at work who wants to be sure that his children have returned
from school and have disarmed the system. A special “latchkey” message will be sent out when the system is disarmed
by a “latchkey user”.

Latchkey users are holders of user codes or users of keyfob transmitters 5-8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 23-32
(PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2). The latchkey message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and is
therefore sent to the private telephones programmed by the user as targets for alert messages.

Latchkey arming is possible only when you arm “AWAY”. To arm in the Latchkey mode, proceed as follows:

Alarm & Tamper Memory Indication

The KP-250 PG2 retains in its memory alarm and “tamper” e

vents that occurred during the last arming period.

Note: Alarm events are memorized only after the “abort period”. This means that if you disarm the system immediately ­before the abort period expires - there will be no memory indication

IMPORTANT! If the trouble beeps bother you, disarm the system again (even though it is already disarmed). This will
cancel the trouble beeps for 4 hours.

C. Reviewing Memory & Troubles at the Same Time

If alarms / tamper events are retained in the alarm memory and at the same time a state of trouble exists, the display
will first read the alarm memory followed by trouble events, as described in sections A & B above.

GSM/GPRS Status Indications

After all trouble messages have been reviewed and if a SIM

card is installed in the panel, the KP-250 PG2 displays the

GSM signal strength indication, as follows: "GSM RSSI STRONG" / "GSM RSSI GOOD" / "GSM RSSI POOR".

If a PIR camera is enrolled in the system, the control panel will read "GPRS initialize" to indicate that the modem is
undergoing initialization. This message appears at the end of all trouble messages and immediately following the GSM
signal strength indication (if a SIM card is installed).
