3. Programming

3.1 General Guidance

This chapter explains the Installer programming (configuration) options of your KP-250 PG2 device and how to customize its operation to your particular needs end user requirements. The alarm system includes a partition feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently controllable areas with different user codes assigned to each partition. A partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system. The Soak Test feature allows selected zones to be tested for a pre-defined period of time. When in Soak Test mode, activating a zone does not cause an alarm, and siren and strobe are not activated. The zone activation is recorded in the event log and is not reported to the Monitoring Station. The zone remains in Soak Test until the pre-defined period of time for the Soak Test has elapsed without any alarm activation. The zone then automatically removes itself from Soak Test mode. Software Upgrade allows you to upgrade the software of the control panel from the remote PowerManage server. During software upgrade, the PowerMaster display will read "UPGRADING…" which is displayed throughout the software upgrade procedure.
Note: Software Upgrade cannot be performed when the control panel is armed AWAY, there is an AC failure, one of the enrolled KPs is not communicating to the panel for some reason, or one of the enrolled KPs is in low battery state.

Always use different codes for the Master Installer, for the Installer and for the Users. If the Master Installer Code is identical to the Installer code, the panel will not be able to recognize the Master Installer. In such a case, you must change the Installer code to a different code.

3.3.1 Identical Installer and Master Installer Codes

In a 2-installer code system, the non-master installer may inadvertently change the Installer Code to that of the Master Installer Code. In this case, the panel will allow the change in order to prevent the non-master installer from realizing the discovery of the Master Installer's Code. The next time the Master Installer enters the Installer Mode the Master Installer will be considered as an Installer and not as a Master Installer. In such a case the Master Installer should use one of the following solutions: (a) Access the panel using the Remote Programmer PC software application and change the Master Installer Code to
a different code than the one programmed by the Installer.
(b) 1. Change the Installer Code to a temporary code.
2. Exit the Installer Mode.
3. Enter the Installer Mode again using the Master Installer code (the Master Installer Code will now be accepted).
4. Change the Master Installer code to a different code.
5. Change the non-Master Installer Code back again (in other words, undo the change to the temporary code) so that the non-Master Installer can still enter the system.

How to check Panel  Device compatibility
Each PowerG device bears a 7-character Customer ID printed on the device sticker in the format: FFF-M:DDD, (for example, 868-0:012) where FFF is the frequency band and M:DDD is the variant code. For PowerG system devices compatibility, make sure the frequency band (FFF) and the variant code (M) of the devices match . The DDD can be ignored if the panel displays “ANY” for DDD.
Enrollment b y using Device ID
The 7-digit Device ID can be used to register a device into the panel locally or from a remote location using the Remote Programmer PC software. The enrollment by device ID is a 2 stage procedure.

Two different entry delays allow the user to enter the protected site (while the system is in the armed state) via dedicated exit/entry doors and routes without causing an alarm. Following entry, the user must disarm the KP-250 PG2 before the entry delay expires. Slow-rate warning beeps start sounding once the door is opened, until the last 10 seconds of the delay, during which the beeping rate increases. The "ENTRY DELAY 1" and "ENTRY DELAY 2" options allow you to program the time length of these delays.
1. In some PowerMaster variants, these menus are displayed in the Operation Mode only.
2. To comply with UL requirements, the entry delay must not exceed 15 sec.

Define whether or not the user will be allowed to manually bypass individual zones, or allow the system to perform automatic bypassing of open zones during the exit delay (i.e. "force arm"). If a zone is open and "forced arming" is not permitted, the system cannot be armed and “NOT READY” is displayed. If "no bypass" is selected, neither manual bypassing nor force arming is allowed which means that all zones must be secured before

To enable the reporting, you must configure the system to report "alrt" events to Private users (Latchkey belongs to the "alerts" group of events). Refer to section 3.6.5 "
Certain regulations require that when the system is armed in AWAY mode, it may not be disarmed from the outside of the house (such as by keyfobs) before entering the protected premises and activating an "Entry Delay" zone. To answer this requirement, the KP-250 PG2 provides you with the following configurable options to disarm the system:
A: At "any t ime", the system can be disarmed at all times from all devices. B: During entry delay, the system can be disarmed only using keyfob or prox
operated devices ("on entry wrless").
C: During entry delay by code, the system can be disarmed only using the KP-250

Determine that, when activated, the Arming Key will arm AWAY or HOME.
Define the number of times a zone is allowed to initiate an alarm within a single arming/disarming period (including tamper & power failure events of detectors, etc.). If the number of alarms from a specific zone exceeds the programmed number, the KP-250 PG2 automatically bypasses the zone to prevent recurrent siren noise and excessive reporting to the Monitoring Station. The zone will be reactivated upon disarming, or 48 hours after having been bypassed (if the system remains armed).
Options: after 1 alarm; after 2 alarms (default in USA); after 3 alarms and no stop.
Notes:

3.6.3 Configuring GSM-GPRS (IP) - SMS Cellular Connection

The GSM/GPRS module is capable of communicating with the Monitoring station receiver by GPRS, GSM Voice (analog) or SMS Channels.
Each of the channels can be separately enabled or disabled to allow or prohibit the module from using it for the event reporting. If all channels are enabled, the GSM/GPRS module will always try GPRS first. If fails, it will try GSM voice. If fails, it will try any other possible method (PSTN Broadband) and only then it will try SMS. Disabling any of the GSM channels will cause the module to use a different sequence than the one described above.

3.6.6 Configuring Motion Cameras for Visual Alarm Verification

If equipped with a GSM/GPRS module, the PowerMaster can communicate to Monitoring Stations (equipped with Visonic PowerManage server) via the GPRS network, also with image clips captured by Motion Cameras (models Next CAM PG2, Next-K9 CAM PG2 and TOWER CAM PG2). The Monitoring Station can use the video clips for verification of Burglary alarms detected by the Motion Cameras. The system can be configured to capture image clips also upon occurrence of Non-Burglary alarms (i.e. Fire, Duress, Emergency and Panic). The server can then forward the images to the management computer of the monitoring station or to 4 remote computers via e-mail and/or 4 mobile phones by MMS images.
In addition, the monitoring station can log into the PowerManage server and request the system to provide image clips "On Demand" and to forward them as defined in the PowerManage application. To protect customers' privacy, the KP-250 PG2 can be customized to enable the "On Demand View" only during specific system modes (i.e. Disarm, Home and Away) and also to a specific time window following an alarm event. In this section you can program the 4 e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers to which the images will be forwarded and to configure the parameters of the "On Demand View".

3.6.7 Configuring Upload / Download Remote Programming Access Permission

Using a PC, the KP-250 PG2 can be configured (by upload/download) either locally or from remote via PSTN telephone line or GPRS cellular communication.
Local programming can be performed by directly connecting the computer to the panel's serial port using the
Remote Programmer PC Software.
Remote programming via PSTN can be performed by using a modem and the same software. The modem dials to
the control panel and establishes a connection via PSTN using an agreed process. When connection is established, the installer or Master installer can access the panel using the UL/DL access codes programmed in the "PSTN UP/DOWNLOAD" menu – see table below. For further information refer to the "PowerMaster Remote Programmer Software User's Guide". Remote programming via GPRS is performed using a Visonic PowerManage server and related Remote Programmer PC software. The PowerManage server calls from a cellular modem to the Panel's SIM card number. The panel checks the caller ID and if identical with any of the two callers ID 1 or 2 programmed in the "GPRS UP/DOWNLOAD" menu (see table below), the panel initiates a GPRS connection with the respective IP Receiver 1 or 2 (as configured in section 5.6.4 options 21 & 22). When connection is established, the monitoring company can perform the upload/download procedure via the established secured GPRS connection. For further information refer to the PowerManage User's Guide In this section you can configure the access permissions (i.e. security codes and identification) and determine the functionality of the upload/download procedures via PSTN and GPRS channels.

3.9 Diagnostics

3.9.1 General Guidance – "Diagnostics" Flow-Chart & Menu Options

The DIAGNOSTICS menu enables you to test your system and to verify proper operation of your PowerMaster panel, wireless devices attached to it and the communication (GSM/GPRS) modules.
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured during the initial testing and also throughout subsequent system maintenance. A device should not be installed in location where signal strength is "poor". If you get "poor" signal strength from a certain device, simply re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received. This principle should be followed throughout the diagnostic test procedure.
The diagnostic test process is shown below.
The "07.DIAGNOSTICS" menu contains several sub-menu options, each covering a group of configurable features and parameters related to the communication and reporting as follows (see the list in Step 3 of the chart below):

4. Periodic Test by Installer Code

4.1 General Guidance

This mode provides you with the means to conduct a periodic test, via the "PERIODIC TEST" menu, at least once a week and after an alarm event. When you are instructed to perform a periodic test, walk throughout the site to check the detectors / sensors (except for Sirens and Temperature Sensors). When a detector/sensor is triggered into alarm, its name, number and the alarm reception level should be indicated (for example, "Bathroom", "Z19 strong") and the buzzer should sound according to the alarm reception level (1 of 3). Each device should be tested according to the device Installation Instructions. To enter the "PERIODIC TEST" menu and to conduct a periodic test, complete the following steps:
READY
(enter installer / master code)
Not including Siren and Temperature Sensors
After reviewing all untested devices the KP-250 PG2 will read "<OK> TO END". You can now do one of the
following: press to abort the testing procedure; press to continue the testing procedure; or press
to exit the testing procedure.

4.2 Conducting a Periodic Test

The KP-250 PG2 enables you to conduct the periodic test in four parts:
Siren Test: Each siren of the system is automatically activated for 3 seconds (outdoor sirens with low volume). Temperature/Light Sensor Test: When Temperature/Light Sensors are enrolled in the system, the KP-250 PG2
displays the temperature of each zone in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and the light threshold (if available) of each zone.
Test all devices: All devices are tested. Other Device Test: Each of the other devices in the system is activated by the installer and the display indicates which
devices were not yet tested. The "it's me" indication helps to identify the untested devices if necessary. A counter also indicates the number of devices that remain untested.
READY
To conduct a periodic test, make sure the system is disarmed and then enter the "PERIODIC T EST" menu using your installer code (8888 by default) or master installer code (9999 by default). Immediately after entering the "PERIODIC TEST" menu, all 4 LEDs on the panel and all 5 LEDs on the KP-250 PG2 keypad will momentarily light (LED test).

You can test wireless sirens and strobes and sirens of smoke sensors and keypads.
To initiate the siren test press . The display now reads "SIREN N"  “<NEXT> or
<OK>”. "N" indicates the zone location assigned to the siren that is currently being tested.
First the panel siren sounds for 1 second after which the PowerMaster system will automatically repeat the procedure for the next siren enrolled in the system until all sirens are tested. You should listen to the sirens sounds and make sure that all sirens sound. Once all the sirens have been tested, the control panel will now test the sirens of smoke sensors that are enrolled in the alarm system. The display now reads "Zxx: SMOKE
“<NEXT> or <OK>”, where "Zxx" indicates the zone number of the smoke
SIREN"
sensor. During this time, the siren of the tested smoke sensor will sound for 10 seconds.
Press to test the siren of the next smoke sensor.
Once all the sirens of the smoke sensors have been tested, the control panel will now test the sirens of keypads that are enrolled in the alarm system. The display now reads "Kxx: KEYPAD SIREN" of the keypad. During this time, the siren of the tested smoke sensor will sound for 10 seconds.
When the sirens test is complete, the display reads "SIREN TEST ENDED". Press the
or the button to confirm the test.
The KP-250 PG2 reads the temperature and light intensity of the zone.
When testing, all previous temperature and light results from sensors are cleared.
To display the temperature and light intensity of zones on the KP-250 PG2, press
. After 20 seconds, the KP-250 PG2 displays the temperature, the sensor number
and the sensor location, as in the following example: "Z01 24.5
Sensor" changes to "Custom". Repeatedly click the button to review the
temperature of each zone (by Temperature Sensor). If there is no result the following
message is displayed: Zxx TEMP: No TST.
The light level indication is dynamic, that is, if a detector has only two light thresholds
defined, the following displayed on the KP-250 PG2:

APPENDIX B: Working with Partitions

Your alarm system is equipped with an integrated partitioning feature that can divide your alarm system into three distinct areas identified as Partition 1 through 3. A partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system. Partitioning can be used in installations where shared security systems are more practical, such as a home office or warehouse building. When partitioned, each zone, each user code and many of your system's features can be assigned to Partition 1 to 3. Each user code is assigned with the list of partitions it is allowed to control in order to limit access of users to certain partitions. When partitioning is enabled, menu displays are changed to incorporate the partition feature and also each device, user, and proximity tag has additional partitions menu, where it is assigned to certain partitions and excluded from others.
Note: When Partition Mode is disabled, all zones, user codes, and features of the control panel will operate as in a regular unit. When partition mode is enabled, all zones, user codes, and features of the control panel are automatically assigned to Partition 1.

B1. User Interface and Operation

Refer to the KP-250 PG2 User's Guide , APPENDIX B. PARTITIONING for a detailed description of the user interface (Arming/Disarming, siren behavior, show function, etc.).

B2. Common Areas

When partitions cross over, the area common to the partitions must be assigned a zone. This c ommon zone is assigned to multiple parti tions and can be crossed by all users that are assigned to the partitions.
There may be more than one common area in an installation depending on the layout of the property. A common area is not the same as a partition; it cannot be armed / disarmed directly. Common areas are created when you assign a zone or zones to 2 or 3 partitions. Table A1 summarizes the behavior of the different zone types in a common area.

APPENDIX C: Glossary

Abort Period: When an alarm is initiated, the internal sounder is activated first for a limited period of time which is the abort period set by the installer. If you cause an alarm accidentally, you can disarm the system within the abort period before the real sirens start and before the alarm is reported to the remote responders.
Alarm: There are 2 kinds of alarms: Loud alarm - both internal sounder and external siren blare out constantly and the control panel reports the event by telephone.
Silent alarm - the sirens remain silent, but the control panel reports the event by telephone. A state of alarm is caused by:
Motion detected by a motion detector
Change of state detected by a magnetic contact detector - a closed window or door is opened
Detection of smoke by a smoke detector
Tampering with any one of the detectors
Pressing the two emergency buttons simultaneously (panic).
Arming: Arming the alarm system is an action that prepares it to sound an alarm if a zone is “violated” by motion or by opening a door or window, as the case may be. The control panel may be armed in various modes (see AWAY, HOME, INSTANT and LATCHKEY).
Assigned: Refers to zones. Associated: Refers to devices. AWAY: Thi s type of arming is used when the protected site is vacated entirely. All zones, interior and perimeter alike,
are protected. Chime Zones: Allow you to keep track of activity in the protected area while the alarm system is in the disarmed state.
Whenever a chime zone is "opened", the buzzer beeps twice. The buzzer does not beep, however, upon closing the zone (return to normal). Residences can use this feature to annunciate visitors or look after children. Businesses can use it to signal when customers enter the premises or when personnel enter restricted areas.
Note: Your installer will never designate a 24-hour zone or a fire zone as a chime zone, because both zone types actuate an alarm if disturbed while the system is in the disarmed state.
Although one zone or more are designated as chime zones, you can still enable or disable the chime function.
Communicators: Refers to communication channel, for example, GSM.
Control Panel: The control panel is a cabinet that incorporates the electronic circuitry and microprocessor that control
the alarm system. It collects information from various sensors, processes it and responds in various ways. It also includes the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad, display, sounder and loudspeaker.
Default Settings: Settings that are applicable to a specific device group.
Detector: The device (apparatus) that sends an alarm, that communicates with the control panel (for example, Next PG2 is a motion detector; SMD-426 PG2 is a smoke detector).
Disarming: The opposite of arming - an action that restores the control panel to the normal standby state. In this state, only fire and 24-hour zones will sound an alarm if violated, but a “panic alarm” may also be initiated.
Disturbed Zone: A zone in a state of alarm (this may be caused by an open window or door or by motion in the field of view of a motion detector). A disturbed zone is considered “not secured”.
Forced Arming: When any one of the system zones is disturbed (open), the alarm system cannot be armed. One way
to solve this problem is to find and eliminate the cause for zone disturbance (closing doors and windows). Another way to deal with this is to impose forced a rming - automatic de-activation of zones that are still disturbed upon termination of the exit delay. Bypassed zones will not be protected throughout the arming period. Even if restored to normal (closed), bypassed zones will remain unprotected until the system is disarmed.
Permission to “force arm” is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.
94 D-306919 KP-250 PG2 Installer’s G uide
HOME: This type of arming is used when people are present within the protected site. A classic example is night-time at home, when the family is about to retire to bed. With HOME arming, perimeter zones are protected but interior zones are not. Consequently, motion within interior zones will be ignored by the control panel, but disturbance of a perimeter zone will cause an alarm.
Instant: You can arm the system AWAY-INSTANT or HOME-INSTANT, thereby canceling the entry delay for all delay zones for the duration of one arming period.
For example, you may arm the control panel in the HOME-INSTANT mode and remain within the protected area. Only perimeter protection is active, and if you do not expect somebody to drop in while the system is armed, alarm upon entry via the main door is an advantage.
To disarm the system without causing an alarm, use your control keypad (which is normally accessible without disturbing a perimeter zone) or use a keyfob transmitter. Latchkey: The Latchkey mode is a special arming mode in which designated "latchkey users" will trigger a "latchkey message" to be sent to a telephone when they disarm the system.
For example, if a parent wants to be sure that their child has returned from school and disarmed the system. Latchkey arming is only possible when the system is armed in the AWAY mode.
Location: Assigning a named location to a device (for example, Garage, Front Door etc.)
Magnetic Contact Detector, Wireless: A Magnet- controlled switch and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a shared
housing. The detector is mounted on doors and windows to detect changes in state (from closed to open and vice versa). Upon sensing that a door or window is open, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an “alarm” signal and various other status signals to the control panel.
The control panel, if not armed at that time, will consider the alarm system as “not ready for arming” until it receives a “restored” signal from the same detector.
Motion Detector, Wireless: A passive Infrared motion sensor and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a shared housing. Upon sensing motion, the detector transmits its unique identification code, accompanied by an alarm signal and various other status signals to the control panel. After transmission, it stands by to sense further motion.
Non-Alarm Zone: Your installer can designate a zone for roles other than alarm. For instance, a motion detector installed in a dark stairway may be used to switch on lights automatically when someone crosses the dark area. Another example is a wireless transmitter linked to a zone that controls a gate opening mechanism.
Quick Arming : Arming without a user code. The control panel does not request your user code when you press one of the arming buttons. Permission to use this arming method is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.
Remote Responder: A responder can be either a professional service provider to which the home or business owner subscribes (a Monitoring Station) or a family relation/friend who agrees to look after the protected site during absence of its occupants. The control panel reports events by telephone to both kinds of responders.
Restore: When a detector reverts from the state of alarm to the normal standby state, it is said to have been “restored”.
A motion detector restores automatically after detection of movement, and becomes ready to detect again. This kind of “restore” is not reported to the remote responders.
A magnetic contact detector restores only upon closure of the protected door or window. This kind of “restore” is reported to the remote responders.
Sensor: The sensing element: pyroelectric sensor, photo-diode, microphone, smoke optical sensor etc.
Signal Streng th: The quality link communication between the system components and the control panel.
Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a shared housing. Upon
detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and various status signals to the control panel. Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm is initiated.
State: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT , LATCHKEY, FORCED, BYPASS. Status: AC fail, low battery, trouble, etc. User Codes: The KP-250 PG2 is designed to obey your commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid security
access code. Unauthorized people do not know this code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the system is bound to fail. Some operations, however, can be carried out without a user code as they do not degrade the security level of the
alarm system.
D-306919 KP-250 PG2 Installer ’s Guide 95
Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under supervision of a specific detector. During programming, the installer allows the control panel to learn the detector’s identity code and links it to the desired zone. Since the zone is distinguished by number and name, the control panel can report the zone status to the user and register in its memory all the events reported by the zone detector. Instant and delay zones are “on watch” only when the control panel is armed, and other (24-hour) zones are “on watch” regardless of whether the system is armed or not.
Zone Type: The zone type determines how the system handles alarms and other signals sent from the device.
