MESSAGE TO THE INSTALLER

The PowerMaster-10 control panel is supplied with 3 instruction manuals:

 Installer Guide (this manual - for your exclusive use)
 User’s Guide (for your use during installation only - Must be handed over to the master user after testing the

system)
 Accessories Guide (includes a full description of devices that are supported by the PowerMaster-10 system)
Appendices A.1 and A.2 will help you prepare an installation plan. Please take time to fill out the forms - your job

will become much easier and confusion will be prevented. Filling out the forms will also help you create a list of
detectors and transmitters that must be obtained for the particular application. Compatible detectors and
transmitters are listed in the Accessories Guide.

Remember - it is advisable to power up the control panel temporarily after unpacking and program it on the work
bench, in accordance with the installation plan.

Although setting the correct time and date is one of the user tasks, we recommend that you set the time and
date in the course of programming. Access to the “User Settings” for the installer is possible through the
installer‘s menu or through the user menu (see User’s Guide section 2).

After programming, proceed to install the system as detailed in the Installation Instructions, from paragraph 3.3
Mounting the Unit onward.

The installer should verify line seizure. Be aware of other phone line services such as DSL. If DSL service is
present on the phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to use the DSL alarm filter model Z­A431PJ31X manufactured by Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack
and allows alarm reporting without breaking the internet connection.

10 D-302756

3.4 Extension Modules Installation

3.4.1 GSM Installation

The internal GSM 350 module enables the PowerMaster-10 system to operate over a GSM/GPRS cellular
network (for further details, see the GSM 350 PG2 Installation Instructions).

The GSM modem auto detection feature enables automatic enrollment of the GSM modem into the
PowerMaster-10 control panel memory. GSM modem auto detection is activated in one of two ways: after
tamper restore and after reset (power-up or after exiting the installer menu). This causes the PowerMaster-10 to
automatically scan GSM COM ports for the presence of the GSM modem.

In the event that the GSM modem auto detection fails and the modem was previously enrolled in the
PowerMaster-10.

G2 control panel, the message "Cel Rmvd Cnfrm" will be displayed. This message will disappear from the
display only after the user presses the

button. The modem is then considered as not enrolled and no
GSM trouble message will be displayed.
Note: A message is displayed only when the PowerMaster-10 alarm system is disarmed.

3.4.2 PowerLink Broadband Module Installation

The PowerLink broadband module enables viewing the PowerMaster-10 system over the internet (for further
details, see the PLINK PRO Installation Instructions).

The PowerLink Broadband Module modem auto detection feature enables automatic enrollment of the
PowerLink Broadband Module modem into the PowerMaster-10 control panel memory. The PowerLink
Broadband Module modem auto detection is activated in one of two ways: after tamper restore and after reset
(power-up or after exiting the installer menu). This causes the PowerMaster-10 to automatically scan the
PowerLink Broadband Module COM ports for the presence of the PowerLink Broadband Module modem.

In the event that the PowerLink Broadband Module modem auto detection fails and the modem was previously
enrolled in the PowerMaster-10 control panel, the message "PLNK Remvd Cnfrm" will be displayed. This message will

disappear from the display only after the user presses the

button. The modem is then considered as not

enrolled and no PowerLink Broadband Module trouble message will be displayed.

Notes:
A message is displayed only when the PowerMaster-10 alarm system is disarmed.
In the event of a power failure the PowerLink Broadband Module will not operate. Power (AC or battery) must be
disconnected from the circuit before connecting / disconnecting the PowerLink Broadband Module.

3.5 Closing the Control Panel

4.4.6 Configuring a Duress Code

A duress alarm (ambush) message can be sent to the Monitoring Station if the user is forced to disarm the system
under violence or menace. To initiate a duress message, the user must disarm the system with the duress code
(2580 by default). Here you can change the code digits or enter "0000" to disable the duress feature. The system

does not allow the user to program the duress code saved in this memory location as an existing user
code.

4.5 Zones / Devices

4.5.1 General Guidance

The ZONES / DEVICES mode enables the following functions:

- Defining default parameters common for each devices family.

- Adding new devices (enrolling) and defining their zones name, zone type and chime zone.

- Deleting devices.

- Modifying devices parameters.

- Reviewing devices parameters.
Enrolling can be performed for Keyfobs (multi-button), wireless detectors, wireless sirens and repeaters.
The control panel enables entering a device identification (ID) instead of enrolling an actual device. This enables pre-

enrolling off site.
Upon boot up, the control panel checks if there are pre-enrolled devices that have not yet been registered (ID of the
devices are entered but the devices have not communicated with the control panel). In this case, the control panel will
display "SYNC WITH DEV" on the LCD and the trouble LED will be on until all the devices have registered or the pre­enrolled devices that have not registered will be deleted from the enrollment menu.

Refer to sections 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 for detailed instructions on Enrolling/Deleting a device.

Notes

- Keyfob enrolling can be performed also by the user (via USER SETTINGS menu).

- Wired magnetic contact or any other contact can be enrolled in zones 29 & 30.

- Wireless detectors can be enrolled in zones 01-28.
Before beginning, gather all the devices that you intend to enroll and make sure they all have batteries installed.

Your control panel must recognize the unique identification code (ID) of each such detector in order to supervise
them, receive their signals and respond accordingly.

• Before enrolling, the lens at the front of PIR and dual-technology sensors should be masked to prevent inadvertent

transmission.

• Make sure that magnetic contact transmitters are together with their magnets, to prevent them from sending

out alarm transmissions.

4.5.2 Adding a Wireless Device

This section describes how to add a new device to the PowerMaster-10 control panel.
Note: It is much easier to enroll the device while holding the device in your hand, close to the control panel.

4.5.2.2 Configuring Device Parameters

Refer to the PowerMaster-10 Accessories Guide for detailed instructions on how to modify specific device
settings for each device

4.5.2.3 Zone Types

Upon enrollment of a new detector (marked "Zxx") you must select the proper zone type. The zone type determines
how the system handles alarms and other signals sent from the device.
A list of factory defaults is printed in Appendix D. You may fill out the blank columns even before you start and
proceed to program according to your own list.

Zone types are fully explained below:
Delay Zones:

A delay zone has exit and entry delays set by you in the course of programming the system. Warning beeps will
sound throughout these delays, unless you choose to mute them.

• Exit Delay - The exit delay begins once the user arms the system. It allows him to leave via interior zones and a
doorway before arming actually takes effect. When the exit delay starts, the buzzer beeps slowly and maintains a
slow beeping rate until the last 10 seconds, during which it beeps rapidly. The PowerMaster-10 has two types of
delay zones, for which different delay times may be set.

• Entry Delay - The entry delay begins once the user enters the protected area via a specific doorway (his
entry is sensed by a delay zone detector). To avoid an alarm, he must reach the keypad via interior zones
(which become "follower zones" during the entry delay) and disarm the system before the delay expires.
When the entry delay starts, the buzzer beeps slowly until the last 10 seconds, during which it beeps rapidly.

Remember!

A delay zone is also a perimeter zone by definition.

D-302756 19

Emergency Zones:

You can provide incapacitated, sick or elderly people with a miniature single-button transmitter to be carried on
the neck like a pendant or to be worn on the wrist like a watch. In distress situations, they can press the button
on their transmitter, causing the PowerMaster-10 to send an emergency call to the Monitoring Station or to
private telephones designated by the installer.

To make this possible, define the required number of zones as emergency zones and enroll a portable
transmitter to each one of these zones. When completed, ask the master user to distribute these transmitters to
their potential users.

Interior Zone:

Interior zones are zones within the protected premises that have nothing to do with perimeter protection. Their
most important feature is that they allow free movement within the protected area without initiating an alarm,
provided that the system is armed in the "HOME" mode. People can therefore stay at home and move about
freely, as long as they do not disturb a PERIMETER zone.
Once the system is armed in the AWAY mode (all zones are protected), interior zones will initiate an alarm if violated.

Interior Follower Zones:

"Interior Follower" zone is a zone that is located between entry/exit zone and the alarm system control panel.
This zone is temporarily

ignored by the alarm system during entry/exit delay periods, to enable you to walk
(without causing an alarm) in front of a motion detector that is associated with the Interior Follower zone, after
you enter through an entry zone on the way to the control panel, or when leaving the protected premises after
system arming.

Home/Delay Zones:

A zone type which functions as a delay zone when the system is armed HOME and as a perimeter-follower zone
when the system is armed AWAY.

Non-Alarm Zones:

A non-alarm zone does not directly participate in the alarm system. It can be used for chime or for optional KEY
ON-OFF feature (when enabled).
You can define the desired number of non-alarm zones and enroll a portable transmitter or a wireless device
(detector) to this type of zone.

Perimeter Zones:

Perimeter zones rely on detectors designed to protect doors, windows and walls. An immediate alarm is initiated
when such a zone is violated by opening the door/window or by trying to break the wall.

Perimeter Follower Zones:

A non-entry/exit zone, typically a perimeter zone located on an entry/exit path, that is treated as an entry/exit
zone during an entry/exit time.

24-Hour Zones:

24 hour zones are mainly used for PANIC buttons, perimeter detectors and anti-tamper protection. They therefore
trigger an alarm in both armed and disarmed states.

• 24 Hour Zone - Silent. - Upon detection, this zone initiates a silent alarm, meaning that the sirens do not

function. Instead the PowerMaster-10 dials telephone numbers and reports the event to Monitoring Stations
and/or to private telephones, as programmed.

• 24 Hour Zone - Audible. - Upon detection, this zone initiates a siren alarm. The PowerMaster-10 also dials

telephone numbers and reports the event to Monitoring Stations and/or to private telephones, as
programmed.

4.5.2.4 Locations

You can select or assign a named location to a device (e.g. Garage, Front Door etc.). 31 locations can be
selected, 26 fixed names and 5 custom names (defined by the installer).

Note: Custom Locations can be defined via the DEFINE CUSTOM menu, and these custom names will also
appear on your location list in addition to the default names.
Note: To facilitate assigning a location name to a device, a shortcut procedure may be used by entering the
location number which takes you directly to the location name.
