1. INTRODUCTION

The PowerMaster 360 security and smart home platform is a comprehensive security system based on the
PowerMaster security logic and PowerG proven RF security technology with IP communication. The PowerMaster
360 platform allows adding cellular (2G or 3G) communication. Property owners receive notifications of events by email
and/or SMS. In addition, the system includes a WiFi module that supports IP cameras and a Z-Wave controller that
supports Z-Wave devices.

The PowerMaster 360 security system is fully controllable from a computer, and accessible to home and property
owners through their mobile devices. Installers program and configure the system remotely through the computer and
mobile application’s Virtual Keypad (see APPENDIX A / B).

This manual refers to PowerMaster 360 v18 and above. The most updated manuals can be downloaded from the
Visonic Web site http://www.visonic.com.
The PowerMaster 360 control panel is supplied with 2 instruction manuals:

 Installer's Guide (this manual) – for use of system installer during system installation and configuration
 User’s Guide -– also for use of system installer during system installation and configuration, but also for the master

user of the system, once installation is completed. Hand over this manual to the master user of the system.

1.1 System Features

The following table lists the PowerMaster 360 features with a description of each feature and how to use it.

Feature Description How to configure and use

4. PROGRAMMING

12 D-305735 PowerMaster 360 Installer's Guide

4. PROGRAMMING

4.1 General Guidance

This chapter explains the Installer programming (configuration) options of your PowerMaster 360 system and how to
customize its operation to your particular needs and end user requirements.
Software configuration of the alarm system is performed using the Virtual Keypad which contains the control keys,

numerical keypad and display.
The control panel 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 and returns to normal operating mode.
Software Upgrade allows you to upgrade the software of the control panel from the remote PowerManage server.

During software upgrade, the PowerMaster 360 Virtual Keypad 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 or there is an AC failure.

Tech Tip

:

For your convenience, we recommend programming the PowerMaster 360 on the work bench before actual installation.
Operating power may be obtained from the backup battery or from the AC power supply.

ATTENTION! FIRST SWITCH ON THE CONTROL PANEL and then INSERT BATTERIES INTO ACCESSORIES
DEVICES.

The devices "search" for the control panels to which they are enrolled for a period of only 24 hours from the time of
battery insertion.

Note: If you have switched on the control panel a long time after inserting batteries into the accessories devices: Open
and then close the cover to activate the tamper switch (where applicable), or remove the battery and then put back the
battery.

option (last option in the menu). Continue to Step 2.

[2]

If you have not already changed your Installer code number, use the default settings: 8888 for installer & 9999 for

master installer.
If you enter an invalid installer code 5 times, the keypad will be automatically disabled for a pre-defined period of

time and the message WRONG PASSWORD will be displayed.

[3]

You have now entered the Installer Mode menu. Scroll and select the menu you wish and continue to its
corresponding section in the guide (indicated on the right side of each option).

4.2.1 Entering the "Installer Mode" if "User Permit" is enabled

In certain countries the regulations may require user permission to make changes in the configuration of the panel. To
comply with these regulations, the "Installer Mode"

option can be accesses only via the "User Settings" menu. The

Master user must first enter the "User Settings" menu then scroll until the "Installer Mode" option is shown and then
the installer can continue as shown in the above table (see also

 [1] in Step 1 above).

To configure the panel to comply with user permission requirements - see option #91 "User Permit" in section 4.5.8.

4.3 Setting Installer Codes

The PowerMaster 360 system provides two installer permission levels with separate installer codes, as follows:

• Master Installer: The "Master Installer" is authorized to access all Installer Mode menu and sub-menu options. The

default code is: 9999 (*).

• Installer: The "Installer" is authorized to access most but not all Installer Mode menu and sub-menu options. The

default code is 8888 (*).

• Guard Code: Enables an authorized guard to only Arm Away / Disarm the control panel. The default code is 0000 (*).

The following actions can be performed only by using the Master Installer code:

• Changing the Master Installer code.

• Defining specific communication parameters – see "3:C.S REPORTING" in sections 4.6.2 and 4.6.3.

• Resetting the PowerMaster 360 parameters to the default parameters – see "09:FACTORY DEFLT" in section

4.11.

Note: Not every system includes a Master Installer code feature. In such systems, the Installer can access all Installer
Mode menu and sub-menu options the same as a Master Installer.

(*) You are expected to use the default codes only once for gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret

code known only to yourself.

only the Installer Code and New Guard Code option.

[3]

Enter the new 4-digit Code at the position of the blinking cursor and then press .

Notes:

1. Code "0000" is not valid for Master Installer or installer.

2. Inserting “0000” for the Installer will delete the Installer Code.

3. Warning! 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. This will re-validate

the Master Installer code.

4.3.1 Identical Installer and Master Installer Codes

In a 2-installer code system, the non-master installer may inadvertently change his 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. and 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.

- Adding New Devices

[1]

Enter "INSTALLER MODE", select "02:ZONES DEVICES" (see section 4.2) and then select "ADD NEW DEVICE".

Because of encryption, PowerG devices (including Keyfobs) cannot be used on more than one system at one
time. Remember to verify panel and device compatibility.

[2]

See enrollment by button or device ID below. If enrollment is successful, the display reads "DEVICE ENROLLED"
(or "ID ACCEPTED") and then shows the device details - see [3]. However, if the enrollment fails, the display will
advise you the reason for failure, for example: "ALREADY ENROLLED" or "NO FREE LOCATION".
If the enrolled device is adapted to operate as another device that the panel recognizes, the display then reads

“ADAPTED TO <OK>”.

[3]

The display shows the device details and the first available free Zone number for example: "Z01:Motion

Sensor > ID No. 120-1254" (or "K01:Keyfob / S01:Siren etc. depending on the type of the enrolled device).
Detectors can be enrolled in any zone number. To change the zone number, click the button or type in

the zone number, and then press to confirm.

[4]

Continue to Part B to configure the device – see diagram below

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 by 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.

In the 1

st

stage you register the devices' ID numbers into the panel and complete the device configuration. This can be

done from a remote location using the Remote Programmer PC software. Following the 1

st

stage, the PowerMaster

360 panel waits for the device to appear on the network in order to complete the enrollment.
In the 2

nd

stage, the enrollment is completed when the panel is in full working mode by inserting the battery into the
device, or by pressing the tamper or enrollment button on the device. This procedure is very useful for adding devices
to existing systems without the need to provide technicians with the Installer Code, or to allow access to the
programming menus.

Remember! The system will indicate a "NOT NETWORKD" trouble until the 2nd stage of all registered devices is
completed.
Note: The Soak Test on pre-enrolled zones can be activated only when the zone is fully enrolled.

Enrollment by using the Enrollment button

The panel is set to the Enrollment mode (step #2 above) and the device is enrolled using the Enroll button (refer to the
device information in the device Installation Instructions, then open the device and identify the Enroll button). For
keyfobs and keypads, use the AU X '' button. For gas detectors, insert the battery.

Press the enroll button for 2-5 seconds until the LED lights steadily and then release the button. The LED will
extinguish or may blink for a few more seconds until the enrollment is completed. If enrollment is successfully

system is armed. To configure the Exit/Entry 1 time, see sections 4.5.1 & 4.5.2 - Installer

Mode menu "03.CONTROL PANEL" options 01 and 03. (∗)

2.

Exit/Entry 2

Same as Exit / Entry 1 but with a different delay time. Used sometimes for entrances closer to

the panel. For configuring the Exit and Entry 2 delays, see sections 4.5.1 & 4.5.2 –

Installer Mode menu "03.CONTROL PANEL" options 02 and 03. (∗)

3.

Home Delay

Used for Door/Window Contacts and Motion sensors protecting entrance doors to interior

living areas where you wish to move feely when the system is armed HOME. Functions as a
"Delayed" zone when the system is armed HOME and as a "Perimeter Follower" zone when

the system is armed AWAY.

4. Inter-Follow

Similar to "Interior" zone but temporarily ignored by the alarm system during entry/exit delay
periods. Usually used for sensors protecting the route between the entrance door and the panel.

5. Interior

This zone type generates an alarm only when the system is armed AWAY but not when the
system is armed HOME. Used for sensors, installed in interior areas of the premises, that

need to be protected when people are not present inside the premises.

6. Perimeter

This zone type generates an alarm when the system is armed both in AWAY and HOME
modes. Used for all sensors protecting the perimeter of the premises.

7.

Perim–Follow

Similar to "Perimeter" zone, but is temporarily ignored by the alarm system during entry/exit

delay periods. Usually used for sensors protecting the route between the entrance door and

the control panel.

8. 24h silent

This zone type is active 24 hours, even when system is DISARMED. It is used to report alarm

events from sensors or manually activated buttons to the Monitoring Station or private

telephones (as programmed) without activating the sirens.

9.

24h audible

Similar to 24hr silent zone, but also provides an audible siren alarm.

Note: This zone type is used only for burglary applications.

10. Emergency

This zone type is active 24 hours, even when the system is DISARMED. It is used to report

an emergency event and to initiate an Emergency call to the Monitoring Stations or private

telephones (as programmed).

11.

Arming Key

An Arming key zone is used to control the arming and disarming of the system.

Note: Operates with the magnetic contact device, magnetic contact device with auxiliary input

and vanishing magnetic contact device.

12.

Non-Alarm

This zone does not create an alarm and is often used for non-alarm applications. For
example, a detector used only for sounding a chime.

13.

Fire

A Fire zone is used for connecting the MC-302E (magnetic contact with hard-wired input) to a
wired smoke detector.

17.

Guard keybox

A Guard keybox zone is usually connected to a metal safe containing the physical keys

needed to enter the building. Following an alarm, the safe becomes available to a trusted

Guard who can open the Guard keybox, obtain the keys and enter the secured premises. The

4. PROGRAMMING

D-305735 PowerMaster 360 Installer's Guide 21

No.

Zone Type

Description

Guard keybox zone acts just like a 24H audible zone. The Guard keybox zone also provides

automatic audible internal and external siren alarm that is immediately reported to the
Monitoring Station (and does not depend on the Abort Time).

Notes:

1. Opening/closing the Guard keybox causes the PowerMaster 360 to signal the Monitoring

Station.

2. Operates with the magnetic contact device with auxiliary input.

18

Outdoor

A zone for outdoor areas where an activated alarm does not indicate intrusion into the house.

Note: The PIR camera / Outdoor PIR camera detector cannot be set to Outdoor Zone Type.

(∗)

These Zone types are useful mainly when you arm and disarm the system from inside the protected premises. If

you arm and disarm the system from outside (without tripping any sensor), such as using a keyfob, it is

preferred to use the other Zone Types.

PowerMaster 360 enables you to define the Default Parameters used during enrollment and to change them
whenever you wish so that new devices enrolled into the system will be configured automatically with these default
parameters without the need to modify the configuration of each new enrolled device. You can use a certain set of
defaults for certain group of devices and then change the defaults for another group.

– Changing Defaults

[1]

Enter the Installer Mode menu, select the "02.ZONES/DEVICES" option (see section 4.2) and then select the
"DEFINE DEFAULTS" option.

[2]

Select the respective Group of the device you wish to define its defaults. For example, "MOTION SENSORS".

[3]

Scroll the parameter list of the Device Group and select the Default Parameter you wish to change, for example:

"Event Counter". The list combines the parameters of all devices in the group, for example, the parameters of all

types of Motion sensors.

[4]

In the example, the existing default setting of the "Event Counter" for enrolled motion sensors was

"Low Sensitivity" (marked with ) . To change it to "High", scroll the menu until the display shows "High" and
press the button. The new default for the Event Counter parameter setting of Motion Sensors enrolled

from now on will be "High".

[5]

The new default does not affect motions sensors that were already enrolled before the change was made but only
new motion sensors that will be enrolled in the PowerMaster 360 after the change is performed.

4.4.8 Updating Devices after Exiting Installer Mode

When exiting the "Installer mode", the PowerMaster 360 panel communicates with all devices in the system and
updates them with the changes that have been performed in their "Device Settings" configuration. During the updating
period, the display indicates "DEV UPDATING 018" where the number (for example, 018) is a countdown of the
remaining number of devices yet to be updated.

4.5.2 Configuring Arming/Disarming and Exit/Entry Procedures

The following table provides you with a detailed description of each option and its configuration settings. To select an
option and change its configuration – refer to section 4.5.1.

Option

Configuration Instructions

01:ENTRY DELAY1
02:ENTRY DELAY2

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 control panel before the entry delay expires. Slow­rate warning beeps start sounding via the Configuration device (PC or mobile) 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.

Options: 00 seconds; 15 seconds (default for entry delay 2); 30 seconds (default for entry
delay 1); 45 seconds; 60 seconds; 3 minutes and 4 minutes.

Notes:

1. In some PowerMaster 360 variants, these menus are displayed in the Operation

Mode only (see section 4.13).

2. To comply with EN requirements, the entry delay must not exceed 45 sec.

03:EXIT DELAY

This option allows programming the time length of the exit delay. An exit delay allows the user
to arm the system and leave the protected site via specific routes and exit/entry doors without
causing an alarm. Slow-rate warning beeps start sounding via the Configuration device (PC or
mobile) once the arming command has been given, until the last 10 seconds of the delay,

during which the beeping rate increases.

Options: 30 seconds; 60 seconds (default); 90 seconds; 120 seconds, 3 minutes and

4 minutes.

04:EXIT MODE

The "Exit Delay" time can be further adjusted according to your preferred exit route. The control
panel provides you with the following "Exit Mode" options:

A: "normal" - The exit delay is exactly as defined.
B: “restrt+arm home” - Exit delay restarts when the door is reopened during exit delay. If no

door was opened during exit delay "AWAY", the control panel will be armed "HOME".

C: "restart>reentry" - The exit delay restarts when the door is reopened during exit delay. The

restart occurs once only. Restarting the exit delay is helpful if the user re-enters
immediately after going out to retrieve an item that he left behind.

D: "end by exit" - The exit delay expires (ends) automatically when the exit door is closed

even if the defined exit delay time was not completed.

Options: normal (default); restrt+arm home; restart>reentry and end by exit.

Note: In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only

(see section 4.13).

05:QUICK ARM

Define whether or not the user will be allowed to perform quick arming or not. Once quick

arming is permitted, the control panel does not request a user code before it arms the system.

Options: OFF (default) and ON (default in USA).

06:BYPASS ARM

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 arming.

Options: no bypass (default); force arm and manual bypass (default in USA).

Notes:

1. To comply with EN requirements, "manual bypass" must be selected.

2. The option "force arm" is not applicable in the UK.

3. A zone in Soak Test mode that is configured as bypass will trigger a test fail event if
the system detects a potential alarm event.

4. There is no limit of reported events when a bypass zone is in Soak Test mode.

07:LATCHKEY ARM

When "ON", a “latchkey” message will be reported by SMS message to users (see Note) upon

disarming by a “latchkey user” (users 5-8 or keyfob transmitters 5-8). This mode is useful when

parents at work want to be informed of a child’s return from school.

Options: OFF (default) and ON.

Note: 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 4.6.4 "REPORTED

EVENTS" option in both "

VOICE REPORT

" & "

SMS REPORT

" menus.

Configuration Instructions

08:DISARM OPTION

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 PowerMaster
360 provides you with the following configurable options to disarm the system:

A: At "any time" (default), 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 Configuration device

(PC or mobile) ("entry + away kp.").

D: During entry delay, the system can be disarmed using keyfobs or by code using the

Configuration device (PC or mobile) ("on entry all.").

Note:

In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only

(see section 4.13).

09:ARMING KEY

Determine that, when activated, the Arming Key will arm AWAY or HOME.

Options: arm AW AY (default) and arm HOME.

4.5.3 Configuring Zones Functionality

The following table provides you with a detailed description of each option and its configuration settings. To select an

option and change its configuration – refer to section 4.5.1.

Option Configuration Instructions

21:SWINGER STOP

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 control panel
automatically bypasses the zone to prevent recurrent siren noise and excessive reporting to the
Monitoring Station. The zone will be reactivated upon disarming, or 8 hours after having been
bypassed (if the system remains armed).

Options:

after 1 alarm

(default);

after 2 alarms

(default in USA);

after 3 alarms

and

no stop

.

Note:

When a detector is in Soak Test1 mode and also set to bypass, Swinger Stop will not

prevent the sending of events. This may result in excessive reporting of Soak Fail
events.

22:CROSS ZONING

Define whether cross zoning will be active "ON" or inactive "OFF" (default). Cross zoning is a
method used to counteract false alarms - an alarm will be initiated only when two adjacent
zones (zone couples) are violated within a 30-second time window.
This feature is active only when the system is armed AWAY and only with respect to the
following zone couples: 10+11, 12+13, 14+15.

Notes:

1. If one of the two crossed zones is bypassed (see Section 4.5.2), the remaining

zone will function independently.

2. It is recommended that crossed zones will be only zones used for detection of
burglary i.e. "Zone Types": Entry/ Exit, Interior, Perimeter and Perimeter follower.

3.

If a cross zone is in Soak Test mode, then each zone of this zone couple functions

independently.

Important! Do not define "cross zoning" to any other zone types such as Fire,

Emergency, 24h audible, 24h silent etc.

4.5.4 Configuring Alarms & Troubles

The following table provides you with a detailed description of each option and its configuration settings. To select an
option and change its configuration – refer to section 4.5.1.

Option Configuration Instructions

31:PANIC ALARM

Define whether or not the user will be allowed to initiate a Panic Alarm from keypads (by
simultaneous pressing the two "Panic Buttons") or keyfobs (by simultaneous pressing the
"Away" + "Home" buttons) and whether the alarm will be "silent" (i.e. only reporting of the
event) or also audible (i.e. the sirens will also sound).

Options: audible (default); silent and disabled.

32:DURESS ALARM

(not applicable in UK)

A duress (ambush) alarm 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 using a duress code (2580 by default).

To change the code, enter the new 4-digit of the new Duress code at the position of the
blinking cursor or enter 0000 to disable the duress function and then press .

Notes: The system does not allow programming a duress code identical to an existing user
code.

33:INACTIVE ALRT

Previously known as
"NOT ACTIVE"

If no sensor detects movement in interior zones at least once within the defined time window,
an “inactive alert" event is initiated.

Define the

time window

for monitoring the

lack of motion

.

Options:

disabled

(default);

after: 3/6/12/24/48/72 hours

34:TAMPER ALARM

Define whether the Tamper switch protection of all zones and other peripheral devices (except
the control panel) are "active" (default) or "not active".

Warning!: If you select "

not active

", be aware that no alarm or report will be initiated in case

of tampering with any of the system peripheral devices.

35:AC FAIL REPRT

To avoid nuisance reporting in case of short interruptions in the house of AC power, the
system reports an AC Fail message only if the AC power does not resume within a pre­determined time delay.

Options:

after 5 minute

(default)

, after 30 minute, after 60 minute or after 3 hours.

Note:To comply with EN requirements, the time delay must not exceed 60 min.

36:CONFIRM ALARM

Previously known as
"CONFIRM TIME"

If two successive alarm events occur within a specific time window, the system can be

configured to report the second alarm event as a "confirmed alarm" (see section 4.6.3 option

61). You can activate this feature and set the respective time window.

Options: disable (default in USA); in 30/45/60 (default)/90 minutes

Note: In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only
(see section 4.13).

37:ABORT TIME

The PowerMaster 360 can be configured to provide a delay before reporting an alarm to the
Monitoring Station (not applicable to alarms from 24H SILENT and EMERGENCY zones).
During this delay period, the siren sounds but the alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the
system within the delay time, the alarm is aborted. You can activate the feature and select the
"Abort Time" interval.

Options: in 00 (default in USA)/15/30 (default)/45/60 seconds; in 2/3/4 minutes

Note: In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only

(see section 4.13).

38:CANCEL ALARM

Previously known as
"ALARM CANCEL"

The PowerMaster 360 can be configured to provide a ”Cancel Alarm” time window that starts

upon reporting an alarm to the Monitoring Station. If the user disarms the system within that
"cancel alarm" time, a “cancel alarm” message is sent to the Monitoring Station indicating that
the alarm was canceled by the user.

Options: not active (default in USA); in 1/5 (default)/15/60 minute(s) and in 4 hours.
