INTRODUCTION

1. Introduction

Preface

Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30, 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. If you ever call the monitoring station to ask questions, you should have access to your "ACCOUNT NUMBER" used to identify your alarm system to the monitoring station. Obtain this information from your installer and write it.

Overview

The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 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 and verbally most cases a recorded voice prompts you to take correct action.



The system includes an optional 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 (for a detailed description of the Partitioning feature, refer to Appendix A).

The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 is governed by a control panel (Figure 1a and Figure 1b) 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 will initiate an alarm upon detection of disturbance in any one of the armed

zones. Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted areas. Presenting a valid proximity tag, while the

system is armed (and when partitioning



is set to disabled), causes the system to disarm. Presenting a valid

proximity tag, while the system is disarmed, causes the system to be armed in AWAY (optional HOME) mode. The system identifies a wide range of events - alarms, attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of

trouble. Events are automatically reported via PSTN (telephone line) or optional GSM communication to monitoring stations (in digital or IP form) and to private telephones (in tones and/or SMS messages). 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 Chapters 2 and 3 of this manual.

If you are not familiar with some of the terms used here, refer to Appendix B at the end of this guide.

Note: This system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once a year.

INTRODUCTION

 Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language status information and prompts are displayed on the front

panel in large, clear text.

 Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the 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, and even by SMS if GSM is installed.

 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 (a junior family member, for instance). (See Chapter 2.)

 Spoken announcements and instructions

over the built-in loudspeaker (if the voice prompts are enabled - see chapter 4).

 Message exchange



: Before leaving the premises, you may record a short verbal message for other users of

the system who may arrive later. Upon arrival, you can listen to verbal messages left by others for you.

 Access from remote telephones: You may access the PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 from a remote

telephone and Arm/Disarm it or receive system status information. (See Chapter 5).

Note: Remote operation is performed per partition, or per user code defined for a particular partition, when partition is enabled



 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 1000 events, each

tagged with the time and date of the event. You can access this log and review the past events in case of need such as after a burglary. (See Chapter 10. Maintenance).

 Looking after elderly, physically handicapped and infirm individuals: The system can be programmed to

monitor people activity within the protected area and send out an alert message if no movement is detected in the area for a predefined period of time (See Chapter 6. Menus and Functions).

 Distress calls: Miniature pushbutton portable transmitters given to specific individuals may be used for

sending emergency calls for help.

 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 System).

 System supervision: All wireless peripherals within the protected site send periodic keep alive supervision

messages. If such a message is overdue, the PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 displays a 'missing' trouble message. Your installer can disable this feature if so desired.

 Battery supervision: The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 continuously monitors the battery condition of

the sensors and devices in the system and 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.

INTRODUCTION

Proximity Tags

Your system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled to the system. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety of functions without entering user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc. 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.

When the system is disarmed, after presenting a valid proximity tag to the control panel, the message "<OK> for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press the second for system automatic AWAY arming (the message "Please exit now" will be displayed). Presenting the proximity tag once again will DISARM the system.

Instead of pressing the message "<OK> for HOME" / "<OK> for disarm" is displayed, accordingly) and then press the press button for HOME arming / disarming.

For more information regarding terms used in this chapter, refer to APPENDIX B. GLOSSARY.

Note: Except for specific reference to PowerMaster-30 functions, the buttons displayed throughout the User's Guide are of the PowerMaster-10 control panel. When using the PowerMaster-30 control panel, these buttons can be interchanged.

Basic Arming and Disarming

Following are a set of procedures for performing basic arming and disarming of the alarm system.

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

Enter partition # (1 - 3) PARTITION 1

Note: The “Sad Tune” will be heard when attempting to select a partition to which no sensors / peripherals were enrolled.

SELECT PARTITION

Preparing to Arm

Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed.

READY HH:MM

This means that all zones are secured and you may arm the system any way you choose. If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will read:

NOT READY HH:MM

This means that the system is not ready for arming until all zones are secured (closed). 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 the

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

Device Locator: The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or troubled devices indicated on the LCD display which operates as follows:

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.

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.

IMPORTANT! All arming procedures below are based on the assumption that quick arming has been enabled by the installer. If quick arming is disabled, the PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 will prompt you to enter your security code before arming as follows:

Disarming after an Alarm or Trouble

After disarming, different displays may appear indicating that the system is in a state of TROUBLE (TRBL) or alarm MEMORY and will also sound trouble beeps once per minute. To find out the troubles that have

been detected, or which zone alarmed, see Chapter 5. Reviewing Troubles and Alarm memory.

Upon eliminating the cause for trouble the TRBL display will disappear, the TROUBLE indicator will extinguish and the trouble beeps will stop.

The MEMORY message will disappear only upon rearming the system.

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.

Forced Arming AWAY or HOME

Forced arming allows you to arm the system even if one or more zones are disturbed and the "NOT READY" message is displayed. Automatic forced arming operates only if this option was enabled by the installer while programming your system. All disturbed zones will be automatically bypassed - they will not be armed. The protected site will not have maximum protection.

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 5 through 8 (PowerMaster-10) / user codes 23-32 (PowerMaster-30) or users of Keyfob transmitters 5 through 8 (PowerMaster-10) / 23-32 (PowerMaster-30). 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:

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.

Using Keyfob Transmitters

Using portable keyfobs (KF-234 PG2) you can also conveniently arm and disarm the system from outside the premises, initiate "panic alarms" and even use it as a remote control.- see figure 2. The KF-234 PG2 commands are authenticated and encrypted using high security AES - 128 encryption standard, hence malicious “code grabbing” is virtually impossible.

Arming & disarming with Keyfobs:

To arm or disarm the system press the respective key (see Figure 2). The keyfob will confirm with a red LED blink and buzzer beep and will transmit your request to the panel.

If the operation is successfully completed, the green LED lights momentarily and a "happy tune" is heard. If the operation cannot be completed, for example, when the system is "not ready", the red LED lights steadily and a "sad tune" is heard.

Arming in Latchkey mode (*): Pressing AWAY twice within 2 seconds initiates Latchkey arming, if enabled by the installer.

Using the AUX key (): The AUX () key on the KF-234 PG2 keyfob can be configured by the installer to provide you with any of the

following options: A. Arming the system in the INSTANT mode (*): This is the default option. Pressing the AUX () button

immediately after arming, during exit delay, will arm the system in "instant" mode. This means cancelling the entry delay causing the system to trigger an immediate alarm upon entering the protected premises via any zone. To prevent false alarms, you, and other keyfob holders, must disarm the system by pressing the

Using the KF-234 PG2 you can initiate a PANIC alarm by pressing both AWAY and HOME keys simultaneously for 2 seconds.

Low Battery Indication If the battery power is near the end of its life, the keyfob LED indicates this by flashing the yellow light at the end

of keyfob activation. It will also send a "low battery" signal to the panel which will be indicated on the LCD display as a trouble message (see Chapter 5. Reviewing Troubles and Alarm memory). When "low battery" occurs, you must replace the battery within 2-3 weeks otherwise your keyfob will stop functioning.

Acknowledging “low battery” condition

Some regulations and institutions require the user to acknowledge when the keyfob enters the “low battery” condition. The acknowledge procedure is described in Chapter 6.

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL

4. Electrical Appliance Control

Control Options and Pushbuttons

The system allows manual or automatic remote control of a device connected to the PGM output. The user defines the ON and OFF times via the Scheduler (see Chapter 6 - C.13 Programming the Scheduler).

The installer determines which zone sensors will switch the remote controlled appliances on and off. However, the decision whether the remote controlled appliance will respond as programmed is up to you (see next table).

Key Function

Manual activation of a light or other household electrical appliance that is connected to PGM output. Manual deactivation of a light or other household electrical appliance that is connected to PGM

output. Selecting the active automatic control method:

 Sensors: The appliance is controlled by sensors (assigned by the installer for this).  Timer: The appliance is controlled by timer (ON and OFF times are defined by the installer).  Both: The appliance is controlled by sensors as well as by a timer.

Examples of benefits gained by automatic remote control:

 Timer Control. When you are away, the timed activation / de-activation of an electrical appliance.  Zone Control. Upon disturbance of a perimeter zone, the electrical device is switched on.

Note: Automatic activation and deactivation of electrical appliance depends also on the Scheduler setup (see Chapter 6 - C.13 Programming the Scheduler).

Automatic ON/OFF Control

You can select two of four options:

 By Timer ON  By timer OFF  By sensor ON  By sensor OFF

The presently active options are shown with a dark box (
