V20.2 updates
Refer to the following changes that supersede the equivalent information in the user guide.
1. Introduction
Screen saver mode
For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the security system status, by both the LCD screen and
any LED lighting. If the screen saver option is enabled by the installer, when no key is pressed for more than 30
seconds, the display will read “SECURITY SYSTEM” and the LEDs will stop indicating any status.
If you press any key, the normal status display will resume.
Press the fire or emergency key to initiate the fire or emergency alarm.
The installer can configure the system to request a user code before resuming the normal display for additional
security.
The installer can configure the system so that if no key is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the date and time
will appear in the display when a partition is enabled.
3. Reviewing events and alarm memory
With the version 20.2 update, the text "SECURITY SYSTEM” replaces the “PowerMaster-360” text in the
Resulting Display illustration and LCD screen.
APPENDIX B. PARTITIONING
B4. Siren
A partition alarms when it receives an event message from an alarmed device assigned to that partition.
Alarmed devices do not affect partitions that they are not assigned to.
Siren Activity
For sirens common to all partitions, an alarm from one or more partitions activates the siren.
If 'SRN PER PRTN' in the installer menu is set to disable and there is an alarm in any partition, all sirens
will activate.
If 'SRN PER PRTN' from the installer menu is set to enable, a siren will activate only if there is an alarm in
its associated partition or partitions.
A siren activates exit and entry beeps during the exit and entry delay of its associated partition or partitions.
Overlapping siren activations from different partitions do not cause the duration of the siren to be extended.
If 'SRN PER PRTN' from the installer menu is set to enable, a siren alarm in a particular partition can be
stopped only if the user that disarms the system has permissions to the partition in question.
A siren assigned to common partitions can be disarmed by any user who has permissions to one of the
common partitions.
An activated siren will not stop until all associated alarmed partitions are disarmed. However, if the siren is
active due to an alarm from a common area zone and one of the partitions assigned to this area disarms
the system, the siren will also stop. If the alarm is initiated from a common area but continues with zones
that are not assigned to a common area, the siren will not stop until all partitions assigned to the alarmed
zones are disarmed.
If there is a siren that is common to two partitions and there is a fire in partition 1 and a burglary in partition
2, the siren will sound FIRE. When partition 1 is disarmed, the siren is deactivated.

INTRODUCTION
1. Introduction
Preface
The PowerMaster-360 is a highly advanced wireless alarm control system produced by Visonic Ltd.
Note: Make sure that you have the name and telephone number of the monitoring station your system will report
to. When calling the monitoring station to ask questions, you should have access to your ACCOUNT NUMBER
to identify your alarm system. The account number is provided to you by the installation engineer; ensure that you
store the number in a secure location.
Overview
The PowerMaster-360 is a wireless alarm system for detecting and alerting in case of burglary, fire, and a
variety of other security and safety hazards. In addition, it can be used to monitor the activity of disabled or
elderly people left at home. System status information is presented visually.
The system includes an optional partition feature (for a description of this feature, refer to Appendix B).
The PowerMaster-360 is governed by a control panel that is designed to collect data from various sensors that
are strategically located within and along the perimeter of the protected site.
The alarm system can be armed or disarmed by a variety of keyfobs and keypads using special codes.
In the disarmed state, the system provides you with visual status information, and initiates an alarm if smoke is
detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone (a zone which is active 24-hours a day).
In the armed state, the system initiates an alarm upon detection of disturbance in any one of the armed zones.
Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted areas.
The system identifies a wide range of events – alarms, attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of
trouble. Events are automatically reported via Broadband or GPRS communication to monitoring stations (in IP
form) and to private telephones (SMS messages) or emails (via the server). The person receiving such a
message is expected to investigate the event and act accordingly.
IMPORTANT! All you need to know to secure your premises can be found in Chapter 2 of this manual.
If you are not familiar with some of the terms used here, refer to Appendix C at the end of this guide.
Note: This system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once a year.
System features
Your PowerMaster-360 offers a large number of unique features:
Master / User Settings: Two user levels allow different access types (see Chapter 4. Menus and
B.4 Programming User Codes).
64 detector zones: Each detector zone is identified by zone number and name (location).
Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY, and BYPASS.
Virtual Keypad: Status information and prompts are displayed on the Virtual Keypad.
Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the Virtual Keypad display. This feature is also used for the
log file by providing the date and time of each event.
Various reporting destinations: Events can be reported automatically to monitoring stations, private
telephones and mobile phones of your choice. Events can be reported by SMS if GSM is installed. See
Chapter 4. Menus and ).
Selective reporting: Your installer can determine what type of events will be reported to which destination.
Latchkey mode: An automatic Latchkey message is sent to chosen telephones if the system is disarmed by
a latchkey user for example a junior family member. See Chapter 2 for details.
Access from remote telephones: You may access the PowerMaster-360 from a remote telephone and
Arm/Disarm it or receive system status information. See Chapter 5 for details.
Numerical keys serve as function keys: When the system is disarmed, the numerical keys are used also to
control various system functions. A simple icon on each key identifies the task of that key.
Data retrieval: You can obtain status information, trouble information and review memorized alarm events
visually (see Chapter 3).
Event log: System events are memorized in an event log that stores the most recent events, each tagged
with the time and date of the event. You can access this log and review the past events if required. See
Chapter 8. Maintenance for details.
Looking after elderly and infirm individuals: The system can be programmed to monitor people activity

time. See Chapter 4. Menus and for details.
Distress calls: Keyfobs may be used to activate this function by the simultaneous pressing of two buttons.
Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly compelled to disarm the system, he can do so using a special
code (Duress Code) that disarms the system as usual, but also sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station
See Chapter 2. Operating the PowerMaster-360 for details.
System supervision: All wireless peripherals within the protected site send periodic keep alive supervision
messages. If such a message is overdue, the Virtual Keypad displays a missing trouble message. Your
installer can disable this feature if not required.
Battery supervision: The PowerMaster-360 continuously monitors the battery condition of the sensors and
devices in the system and the Virtual Keypad displays a Low Battery message whenever a battery needs to
be replaced within a maximum of 30 days. Wireless sirens can still provide 2 siren alarms before the siren
becomes totally inactive.
Note: When the Low Battery message is received, the battery should be replaced within 7 days. The
PowerMaster-360 battery is rechargeable, see Chapter 8 Maintenance for troubleshooting information.

Virtual Keypad display
The Virtual Keypad display system status and events, time and date, programming instructions and also an
event log file which is accompanied by the date and time of each event. The normal display alternates with the
time and the system status, for example:
(alternating)
Screen saver mode
For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the status indication (Virtual Keypad and LED display)
from a potential intruder. If the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more
than 30 seconds, the Virtual Keypad display will read “PowerMaster-360” and the LEDs will stop indicating any
status. Pressing any key will resume the normal status display. Pressing the Fire or Emergency keys will also
initiate the Fire or Emergency alarm.
If configured by the installer for additional security, the system will ask you to enter your user code as well
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 Virtual Keypad display.
Proximity tags
The system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled in the system through remote devices with proximity tags
readers such as the KP-141 PG2 or KP-160 PG2. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety of
functions without entering a user code, for example arming, disarming, access to event logs, etc. Whenever the
user code is required, you can simply present a valid proximity tag and perform the required operation without
the need to key-in the user code.
Users and codes
As a master User (User No.1) you will need a 4-digit security code to master the system. Code 0000 is not
allowed. You can also authorize 47 other persons to use the system by providing them with their own security
codes. Security codes are used mainly to arm and disarm the system or to access information that is restricted
to authorized users only. See Chapter 4, B.4 Programming User Codes for details.
In addition, you can obtain up to 32 multi-function portable keyfob transmitters that will allow you and the other
users to easily arm, disarm and control the system without accessing the panel, including from outside the
premises. See Chapter 2 and Chapter 4, section B.7 Add or delete keyfob transmitters.
The Duress Code enables you to disarm the system using a special code that sends a silent alarm to the
monitoring station.
See chapter 2 for details.

Basic arming and disarming
Following are a set of procedures for performing basic arming and disarming of the alarm system.
Preparing to arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will show NOT READY.
To review the open zones click . 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 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 .
Device Locator: The PowerMaster-360 system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or
troubled devices indicated on the Virtual Keypad display. While the Virtual Keypad 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 Virtual Keypad displays the device.
Arming ‘AWAY' or ‘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 ARM to HOME, he will be prompted to enter the user code thus bypassing the QUICK ARM
option.
ARM indicator lights steadily during the armed state.
Disarming and preventing the alarm
Enter the protected premises via a delayed zone. Upon detecting your entrance, the system will start sounding
the entry delay beeps via the Virtual Keypad 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

irrespective of whether the alarm was initiated during the armed or the disarmed state.
Disarming under duress
If you are forcibly compelled to disarm the system, enter the duress code. The default value is 2580 or
alternative code set by the installer. Disarming will take place normally but a silent alarm is 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 MODE menu if one or more partitions are in the AWAY or HOME modes.
Before attempting to perform any operation on any given partition, you must select the required partition using
the individual code or proximity tag. Complete the following steps to select a partition:
Note: The “Failure Tune” is heard when selecting a partition to which no sensors or peripherals were enrolled.
Special arming & disarming options
In addition to basic arming, PowerMaster-360 provides you with several advanced arming and disarming
options:
Switching from ‘HOME’ to ‘AWAY’
You do not have to disarm the system - just press
AWAY above. Vacate the premises before the exit delay expires.
Switching from ‘AWAY’ to ‘HOME’

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.
If forced arming is enabled and you wish to arm the system when NOT READY is displayed, complete the

Arming in latchkey mode
This mode, if enabled by the installer, is useful for example when a parent wants to be sure that their children
have returned from school and have disarmed the system. A special “latchkey” message is sent out when the
system is disarmed by a “latchkey user”.
Latchkey users are holders of user codes or users of keyfob transmitters 5 through 8. The latchkey message is
considered an alert and not an alarm. The message is sent to private telephone numbers that are programmed
by the user to receive alert messages.
Latchkey arming is possible only when you arm “AWAY”. To arm using the Latchkey mode, proceed as follows:
Note: Latchkey must be enabled by your installer.

3. Reviewing events and alarm memory
Alarm and tamper memory history
The PowerMaster-360 retains in its memory alarm and “tamper” events that occurred during the last arming
period.
Note: Alarm events are memorized only after the “abort period” (see Appendix C). This means that if you disarm
the system immediately - before the abort period expires - there will be no memory indication
A. Indication of alarm and tamper condition
If the system is disarmed following an alarm event, a flashing MEMORY message will be displayed, as follows:
(alternating)
B. Displaying alarm and tamper information
To review memory content, click button.
EXAMPLE: An alarm was triggered because the garage door - zone No. 12 – was opened but then closed. In
addition, the bedroom motion detector - zone No. 7 - sent a “Tamper” message because its cover had been
removed.
In response to additional clicking of the button, the display shows details of other events retained in
open tamper (if any), or reverts to its initial state (see A above).
If the system is NOT READY, the display will first read the open zones and then alarm memory events.
Clearing the memory history
To clear the ‘Memory’ history you must first review the cause of alarm as described above. After you return to
the ‘Ready’ screen simply press Away and enter the code if requested, then press Disarm
followed by the code. The memory message is now cleared. Otherwise the memory indication and content are
cleared when the system is next armed.
Problems with enrolled devices
A. Indication that a trouble condition (TRBL) is detected by the system
If the system detected a problem with any of the enrolled devices, the problem indicator on the Virtual Keypad
illuminates, 3 beeps are sounded via the Virtual Keypad once per minute and a flashing TRBL message is
displayed, as follows.
B. Displaying problems
All TRBL messages need to be reviewed and corrected as described below:
EXAMPLE: The kitchen device - zone No. 9 - has reported a low battery – the living room device zone No. 15 -
has been inactive, and an attempt to communicate a message to your telephone has failed. However, these
troubles do not prevent the system from being “ready to arm”.

Bypassing permits arming only part of the system while allowing free movement of people within certain zones
when the system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from service faulty zones that require repair
work or to deactivate a sensor if, for example, you are decorating a room.
Here you can set the Zone Bypass Scheme i.e. to scroll through the list of registered (enrolled) sensors to
your PowerMaster-360 system and to Bypass (deactivate) faulty or disturbed sensors (either READY or
NOT-READY) or to Clear (reactivate) BYPASSED zones (sensors).
Once you have set a Bypass Scheme you can use the following 3 options:
> To quickly review the bypassed zones – refer to section B.2.
> To quickly clear a bypassed zone i.e. to reactivate the bypassed zone – refer to section B.1.
> To repeat (recall) the last used zone bypassing scheme – refer to section B.3.
