1. Introduction
Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing PowerMax10-G2, a highly
advanced wireless alarm control system produced by
Visonic Ltd.
Also please 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 be able to come
up with your "ACCOUNT NUMBER" used to identify
your alarm system to the monitoring station. Obtain
this information from your installer and write it.
Overview
The PowerMax10-G2 is a wireless alarm control
system that provides protection against burglary, fire
and tampering. In addition, it can be used to monitor
the activity of disabled or elderly people left at home.
Status information is presented visually.
The PowerMax10-G2 is governed by a control panel
(Fig. 1) designed to collect data from various sensors
that are strategically located within and along the
perimeter of the protected site (Figure 2).
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 24hour 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.

Figure 1. Control Panel
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 or optional GSM and Broadband to
monitoring stations (in digital 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 Chapter 2 of this manual.
If you are not familiar with some of the terms used
here, refer to Appendix A at the end of this guide.
Note: This system must be checked by a qualified
technician at least once every three (3) years.
System Features
Your PowerMax10-G2 offers a large number of unique
features:
• Master / User Settings: Two user levels allow
different access types.
• 29 zones: Each protected zone is identified by
number and by name.
• Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-
INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY and
BYPASS.
• Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language
status information and prompts are displayed on
the front panel in large, clear letters.
• 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 are
reported automatically to monitoring stations,
private telephones of your choice, to a pager and
even by SMS if GSM is installed.
• Selective reporting: Your installer can determine
what type of event 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).

Figure 2. Typical System Configuration
• Access from remote telephones: You may
access the PowerMax10-G2 from a remote
telephone and Arm/Disarm it or receive system
status information.
• Numerical keys serve as function keys: In the
disarmed state, numerical keys are used 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.
• Looking after elderly, physically handicapped
and infirm individuals: The system can be
programmed to monitor activity within the
protected area and send out an alert message if
the person under surveillance remains still for a
predefined period of time (as set by your installer).
• Distress calls: Miniature pushbutton transmitters
dealt out 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 use a
special code that disarms the system apparently
as usual, but sends a silent alarm to the monitoring
station (see chapter 4).
• System supervision: All wireless peripherals
within the protected site send periodic supervision
messages. If such a message is overdue, the
PowerMax10-G2 displays an ‘inactivity’ trouble
message. Your installer can disable this feature if
so desired.
• Battery supervision: You do not have to worry
about ‘dead’ batteries. The PowerMax10-G2
displays a ‘Low Battery’ message whenever a
battery in a wireless sensor is found to be near the
end of its useful life. When the battery voltage in
the wireless siren is low, a low battery message is
sent to the alarm system. After the low voltage
message delivery, at least 2 siren alarms are
possible before the siren is totally inactive.
Users and Codes
You will need a 4-digit security code to master the
system (code 0000 is not allowed), and you can
authorize 7 other persons to use the system by
providing them with their own security codes.
Moreover, you can obtain up to 8 multi-function
key-ring transmitters that will allow you and other
users to easily control major functions.
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.

Review status messages one by one
and also select a displayed option.
Screen Saver Mode
During installation your installer can configure the
screen saver for the system's display. The purpose of
the Screen Saver (if enabled by the installer) is to hide
the status of the system and to prevent an intruder
from knowing the system status. When enabled and
no key is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the
display will read “PowerMax10-G2” and the LEDs do
not light or indicate any status. The normal display
resumes when pressing the
button. If
configured by the installer for additional security, the
system will ask you to enter your user code after you
press the
button
The pressed key (except Fire and Emergency)
causes normal display return but does not perform
any action. With Fire and Emergency keys, the
pressed key causes the normal display to resume
and also
initiates Fire or Emergency alarm.

INTRODUCTION
6 D-302757
A. Arming the system in the INSTANT mode:
Pressing the AUX button immediately after
arming, during exit delay, causes the system to
be armed without an entry delay. This means
that entering the protected premises via any
zone will trigger an immediate alarm. You and
other holders of keyfob transmitters will have no
problem, because you can disarm the system
before entering by pressing the DISARM (
)
button on your transmitter before entry.
B. Skip exit delay: Pressing the AUX button will
immediately cause the system to arm “instant”.
Disarming by a keyfob whose battery voltage is
low (if enabled by the installer)
If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose
battery voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard for
15 seconds. During this period you should press again
the disarm button of the keyfob or control panel (for the
control panel, user code is required) to disarm the
system. If you perform this action during the 15 seconds
period, the Low Bat acknowledge message will be
stored in the event log.
If the disarm button is not pressed again during the
15 seconds period, perform either of the following
actions when you want to rearm the system:
A. Press AWAY twice to arm the system, otherwise the
system will not be armed and an acknowledgement
(from the user that he knows about the Low Bat) will
not be stored in the event log.
B. Press AWAY and then press disarm button, to
acknowledge, otherwise the acknowledgement
will not be stored in the event log.
The sounds you will hear while using the control panel
are:
Single beep, heard whenever a key is
pressed
Double beep, indicates automatic return
to the normal operating mode (by

Disarming the system and stopping
alarms
Preparing to Arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed.
This means that all zones are secured and you may
arm the system any way you choose.
When the system is not ready for arming (at least
one zone is open) the display is NOT READY TRBL
(trouble), NOT READY MEM (memory), NOT
READY MSG (message) or NOT READY BYPASS.
If the system is not ready for arming, click
to review the numbers and names of all open zones,
one by one.
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 PowerMax10-G2 will prompt you to enter your
security code before arming.
Arming ‘AWAY’
If the system is READY, proceed as shown:
PRESS

Forced Arming AWAY
Forced arming allows you to arm the system even
though one zone or several zones are disturbed, and
the NOT READY message is displayed.
Automatic forced arming only works if the installer
allowed this option while programming your system.
Disturbed zones will be bypassed - they will not be
armed. The protected site will not have maximum
protection.
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.
When NOT READY is displayed, Forced arming

Arming in the Latchkey Mode
This mode is useful for a parent at work who wants
to be sure that his children have returned from
school and have disarmed the system. Arming in the
“latchkey” mode means that 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 or
users of Keyfob transmitters 5 through 8. 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 with the appropriate Keyfob:
PRESS
RESULTANT DISPLAY

3. Reviewing Troubles and Alarm memory
Alarm & Tamper Memory
The PowerMax10-G2 retains in its memory alarm
and “tamper” events that occurred during the last
arming period.
Note: Alarms enter the memory only after expiry of the
“abort period” (see Appendix A). This means that if you
disarm the system immediately - before the abort period
expires - there will be no memory indication
A. Indication of Alarm & Tamper Condition
When the memory contains at least one event and
the system is in the disarmed state, a flashing MEM
message will be displayed, as exemplified:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)

The trouble message will appear after the
synchronization process following power-up. If the
device does not send a message within the first five
minutes, this indicates supervision trouble.
You can review the current troubles one by one, by
clicking the
OK
I
button.
EXAMPLE:
The kitchen device - zone No. 9 - has
been inactive, the living room device - zone No. 15 has reported a low battery, the utility room device zone No. 2 - was not successfully enrolled, the front
door device - zone No. 5 - was not successfully
configured and the garage device - zone No. 11 –
communicates using one way communication only.
However, these troubles do not prevent the system
from being “ready to arm”.
To investigate the source of trouble, proceed as
follows:

In response to further clicking of the
OK

button,
the display will show details of other troubles (if any),
or will revert to the initial alternating displays (see
example above).
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.
Reviewing Memory & Troubles at
the Same Time
If alarms / tamper events are retained in the alarm
memory and at the same time a state of trouble
exists, the display will behave as shown below:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY MEMORY
(alternating)
READY TRBL
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
NOT READY HH:MM
(alternating)
NOT READY MEMORY
(alternating)
NOT READY TRBL
To read status information - memory data, open zones
and trouble sources (in this order) - click the
OK
I
button repeatedly. The memory content will be
displayed first, in the same manner shown in Chapter
5 - Reviewing Alarm / Tamper Memory. If the system
is not ready, open zone information will follow in the
same manner as shown in Chapter 2 - Preparing to
Arm. Trouble sources will be displayed last, in the
same manner shown in Chapter 5 - Reviewing
Trouble Information.
Correcting Trouble Situations
The trouble indications (illuminated TROUBLE
indicator and flashing TRBL message) are cleared
once you eliminate the cause for trouble. If you do
not know how to cope with a trouble situation,
report it to your installer and seek his advice.

4. Menus and Functions
This chapter explains the programming features of your PowerMax10-G2 system and allows you to tailor the
PowerMax10-G2 system according to your specific needs. The chapter is divided into three sections, as follows:
Part A – Provides you with a general description of available User Setting options.
Part B – Guides you how to enter/exit the User Settings menu and how to select the desired setting options.
Part C – Allows you to execute the selected desired settings.
A The Settings You Need
The installer provides you with a ready-to-use alarm system, but a number of settings will still be needed. The
User Settings menu provides you with essential options that allow you to adapt the system to your specific
needs, to operate it as you desire and to upgrade it when necessary.
Below is a list of the User Settings menu options. A more detailed list is provided in section B.1. Detailed setting
instructions for options 1 to 12 are provided in sections C.1 to C.12.
1. Setting the zone bypass scheme(*)
2. Reviewing the zone bypass scheme(*)
3. Recalling the zone bypass scheme(*)
4. Programming user codes(**)
5. Add / delete keyfob transmitters (**)
6. Setting the time & time format(**)
7. Setting the date & date format(**)
8. Enabling / disabling auto-arming(**)
9. Setting the auto-arming time(**)
10. Programming private phone numbers(**)
11. Enabling / disabling the squawk option(**)
12. Programming the scheduler(**)
* These menu options are available only if the bypass option was enabled by the installer.
** This option can be accessed only by the master user using the master user code.
Note 1: Although the user settings are your responsibility, you may request your installer to perform them for
you (except for the user codes which you desire to keep secret).
Note 2: Some options may not be available on your PowerMax10-G2 system.
