V20.2 UPDATES

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 , section 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

INTRODUCTION

within the protected area and send out an alert message if no movement is detected for a predefined period of 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.

INTRODUCTION

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:

READY HH:MM

(alternating)

READY MEMORY

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.

2. Operating the PowerMaster-360 system

For more information regarding terms used in this chapter, refer to Appendix C. Glossary .

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.

READY HH:MM

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 show NOT READY.

NOT READY HH:MM	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 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.

PRESS		RESULTING DISPLAY
/		ARMING AWAY/HOME
If Quick Arm is disabled
		ENTER CODE		_ _ _ _
		PLEASE EXIT NOW
Vacate the premises (ARM AWAY) OR		(Exit delay)
Move to interior zone (ARM HOME)

AWAY/HOME

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

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL

MEMORY message will disappear only upon rearming the system. To disarm the system, proceed as shown:

	PRESS		RESULTING DISPLAY
	[Enter Code] /		ENTER CODE			_ _ _ _
			Code / Present tag
	[Present tag]
			READY	HH:MM

ARM indicator extinguishes during the disarmed state. Disarming the system also stops the siren alarm, 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:

PRESS		RESULTING DISPLAY
		SELECT PARTITION
Enter partition # (1 - 3)		PARTITION 1

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 The response will be the same as in ARMING AWAY above. Vacate the premises before the exit delay expires.

Switching from ‘AWAY’ to ‘HOME’

You do not have to disarm the system - just press. Since this operation reduces the security level, PowerMaster-360 prompts you to key in your master user code or user code, to ensure that you are an authorized user.

	PRESS		RESULTING DISPLAY
	[Enter code] /		ENTER CODE		_ _ _ _
			Code / Present tag
	[Present tag]
			ARMING HOME
	Move to interior zone		(Exit delay)
			ARM HOME HH:MM

ARM indicator flashes during the armed state.

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL

Arming AWAY or HOME ‘Instant’

Pressing during the exit delay arms the system immediately without a delay. Therefore, any detection in any zone triggers an immediate alarm. To arm AWAY-INSTANT, proceed as follows.

	PRESS		RESULTING DISPLAY
			ENTER CODE		_ _ _ _
			Code
			ARMING AWAY
			ARMING INSTANT
			(alternating)
			PLEASE EXIT NOW
	Vacate the premises		(Exit delay)
			AWAY

ARM indicator lights during the armed state.

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 following steps:

	PRESS		RESULTING DISPLAY
	[Enter code] /		ENTER CODE		_ _ _ _
			Code / Present tag
	[Present tag]

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:

	PRESS	RESULTING DISPLAY
			ARMING AWAY
		ARMING LATCHKEY
	(Within 2 seconds)		(alternating)
		PLEASE EXIT NOW
	Vacate the premises		(Exit delay)

REVIEWING TROUBLES AND ALARM MEMORY

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:

READY HH:MM

(alternating)

READY MEMORY

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.

READY HH:MM

(alternating)

READY TRBL

or, if the system is not ready for arming

B. Displaying problems

NOT READY	HH:MM
(alternating)

IMPORTANT! To silence the beeps, disarm the system again (even though it is already disarmed). This will cancel the TRBL beeps for 4 hours.

C. Reviewing memory and problems at the same time

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

General Indications

A. Cellular connection indications

After all trouble messages have been reviewed and if a SIM card is installed in the panel, the PowerMaster displays the following indications:

GSM signal strength: indicated as CELL RSSI STRONG / CELL RSSI GOOD / CELL RSSI POOR.

Network Type: indicates the type of network the cellular modem is registered to. Represented by two characters, for example 2G or 3G.

Cellular Provider: indicates the name of the cellular provider, which the cellular modem is registered to. Represented by 13 characters, for example Orange.

If a PIR camera is enrolled in the system, “GPRS initialize” is displayed following panel power-up to indicate that the modem is undergoing initialization. This message appears at the end of all TRBL messages and immediately following the GSM signal strength indication if a SIM card is installed.

B. Wi-Fi indications

After all trouble messages have been reviewed, the PowerMaster displays the following Wi-Fi signal strength indications:

Excellent Wi-Fi signal strength is displayed as – WiFi level: █ █ █ █

Good Wi-Fi signal is displayed as – WiFi level: █ █ █ -

Fair Wi-Fi signal is displayed as – WiFi level: █ █ --

B.1 Setting the zone bypass option

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.
