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.

A. INTERNAL SOUNDER B. INDICATORS C. DISPLAY D. CONTROL KEYS E. KEYPAD

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.

Chime (Green): Chime zones will chime when disturbed

Trouble (Orange): Lights when the system is in a state of trouble.

Display

The display is in the form of a single line, backlit 16character LCD. The display includes the time and date and is also used for the log file by providing the date and time of each event. The display alternates with the time and the system status, for example:

READY HH:MM

(alternating)

READY MEMORY

Control Keys

Key Task

Advance from item to item within a given menu. Move one step back within a given menu

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.

Your system responds to signals sent by a 4-button (KF-234) or a 6-button two-way (KF-237) ‘keyfob’ transmitter, or by a two-way wireless keypad (MKP150/151) - see figure 4. Messages are authenticated and encrypted, by using AES - 128 encryption standard, hence malicious “code grabbing” is virtually impossible.

Both wireless keyfob transmitters are used to control the alarm system.

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:

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.

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 “AWAY” is performed as follows:

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:

F. 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.

Siren Behavior

The total siren time does not exceed the maximum time as configured by the installer.

Continuously ON when initiated by a burglar zone or a 24-hour zone, and when a user initiates a “panic alarm”.

When initiated by a fire zone (smoke is detected) ON -

ON - ON - pause - ON - ON - ON - pause - ........

and so on. If there is nobody around to disarm the system upon

alarm, the siren will sound for the time duration set by the installer - then will stop. The strobe light will keep flashing until the system is disarmed.

When the system is disarmed, the message "<OK> for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press the

button to immediately arm the control panel,

or wait for 3 second for system automatic AWAY arming (the message "Please exit now" will be displayed).

Instead of pressing the

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)

READY MEMORY

or, if the system is not ready for arming -

NOT READY HH:MM

(alternating)

Troubles

A. Indication of Trouble condition

If TRBL flashes in the display, the TROUBLE indicator illuminates, and 3 beeps are sounded once per minute, you will have to investigate the system in order to find out the origin and type of trouble.

B. Displaying Trouble Information

In a state of trouble, a flashing TRBL message is displayed as shown in the following examples:

READY HH:MM

(alternating)

READY TRBL

or, if the system is not ready for arming -

NOT READY HH:MM

(alternating)

NOT READY TRBL 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

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:

C.1 Setting the Zone Bypass Scheme

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 PowerMax10-G2 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 C.2. > To quickly clear a bypassed zone i.e. to reactivate the bypassed zone – refer to section C.2. > To repeat (recall) the most recent zone bypassing scheme – refer to section C.3.

1. Zones will be bypassed throughout one disarm-arm period only. Disarming the system after arming will suspend the entire bypassing scheme.

2. Fire zones cannot be bypassed.

3. Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references 1 etc – see

table at end of section C.3.

C.4 Programming User Codes

The PowerMax10-G2 system allows you to authorize up to 8 people to arm and disarm the system by providing each with a unique 4 digit personal security code, and assigning them with different security levels and functionalities. There are two types of users: Master User and User, The table below summarizes the different operations that can be performed by different users:

User type Function

Master User

Arm/disarm Zone bypass Authorize 7 other user codes Set user codes Report to private Enroll/delete keyfob Automatic arming Enable squawk Set date and time format Read event log

User

Arm/disarm Zone bypass

The 8 user codes are assigned as follows: User Code 1 is assigned to the Master User of the system (i.e. the owner). It is the only user code that allows

access to the User Setting menu. The default setting of the Master User code 1 is 1111. This code cannot be erased and must be replaced with a secret code as soon as possible.

User Codes 2-4 are assigned to family members, co-workers etc. They enable arming and disarming of the system as defined by the Master User. They can access the "User Setting" menu only for "zone bypassing" provided this option is enabled in the Installer menu.

User Codes 5-8 are the same as user codes 2-4 but are assigned to "Latchkey" (child monitor) users. For a detailed explanation of the Latchkey application see Chapter 4 in this User Guide.

♦ Here you can program (or edit) the 8 User Codes and define which will be authorized to arm and disarm.

1. The default setting 1111 of Master User Code 1 is the same for all PowerMax10-G2 systems and is known to many other people. Therefore, we highly recommend that you immediately replace it with a unique secret code.

2. Code "0000" is not valid! Do not use it.

3. The duress code (2580 by default), which is set in the installer menu, cannot be selected as a normal user code. Any attempt to program it will be rejected by the system.

4. Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references 1 etc – see table at end of this section.

A. To Program a User Code

{

Enter the USER SETTINGS menu and select the [USER CODES] option.1

When the display reads [USER CODES] press

C.10 Programming Private Phone Numbers

The PowerMax10-G2 system allows you to determine which event groups will be reported to private telephone subscribers. The PowerMax10-G2 system can also be programmed by the installer to report various event messages such as alarm, arming or trouble, to 4 private telephone subscribers and to 4 SMS telephone numbers either instead of or in addition to the reports transmitted to the monitoring company. You can determine the number of times the private telephone number is dialed and whether to use a single acknowledge signal or an acknowledge signal from each telephone before the current event is considered reported.

Reported events and the number of reported attempts are programmed in the "Installer Settings" (for further details see Chapter 6 in this manual).

♦ Here you can program the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th private telephone numbers for reporting alarm and other event

messages to private subscribers.

♦ Here you can program the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th SMS telephone numbers for reporting alarm and other event

5. Special Functions

Looking after People Left at Home

An important characteristic of the PowerMax10-G2 is its ability to function in a mode contrary to the usual behavior of an alarm system. When the system is in the disarmed state (or even when armed “HOME” with perimeter protection only), it can keep track of in-house activity and will report lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of motion within predetermined time limits.

To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer to program a specific time limit beyond which lack of motion will be reported as a “not active” alert.

To make things clear, let us assume that an elderly, sick or handicapped person is left unattended in a protected site. This person, disabled or sick as he may be, will not stay entirely still for hours. It is only natural that even while being asleep he will turn over in his bed from time to time. He might also wander into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to the bathroom for other necessities. Upon doing so, the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will detect his movement.

If, for example, the “lack of motion” time limit is set by your installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will carry out a 6-hour “countdown”.

If motion is detected

within the 6-hour time frame, the countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual 6-hour clock will be “reset”) and no alert message will be sent out.

If no motion is detected

within the 6-hour time frame in any interior zone, the control panel will send a “not- active” alert message to the monitoring station or to private telephones designated by the installer.

IMPORTANT! In addition, you may provide the person confined to interiors with a single-button transmitter for distress situations, see next paragraph.

Event notifications by Telephone

Control

panel

The PowerMax10-G2 can be programmed by the installer for selective transmission of messages to private telephone subscribers.

The following siren signal will be sent to private telephone upon event reporting:

* FIRE: ON - ON - ON - pause.... (- - - - - - ......).

** BURGLAR: ON continuously (

...)

*** EMERGENCY: 2-tone siren; like an ambulance. The called party must acknowledge the message (as

explained later on), but if he does not respond, the message will be transmitted repeatedly as many times as possible within a 45-second time limit. When the 45 seconds are up, the PowerMax10-G2 will disengage the line and call the next private telephone number on its list.

The called party can acknowledge the message by pressing the "2" key on the telephone keypad. As a result, the PowerMax10-G2 will disengage the line and consider the event duly reported.

Remote Control by SMS

PowerMax10-G2 system with GSM unit can respond to SMS commands from any cellular telephone. The various SMS commands are detailed in the following table (the detailed SMS message sending process is described in the cellular telephone user’s guide). In this table, “<code>” means 4-digit user code and blank space simply means blank space.

6. Weekly Maintenance

Periodic Test

The components of your security system are designed to be maintenance-free as much as possible. Nevertheless, it is mandatory to perform a “walk-test” at least once a week and after an alarm event to verify that all system detectors function properly. Proceed as described in this section and if there is any problem, notify your installer at once.

The periodic test is an indispensable operation by which you verify that all sirens/devices function properly, without disturbing the neighbors with loud sirens. The test must be performed at least once a week, and should include all sirens/devices in all zones. Before performing the periodic test, all the sirens/devices must be in normal state. Normal state is achieved when no motion is made for at least 2 minutes.

Note: During the test period, 24-hour zones will not cause an alarm if violated, but a fire zone will function normally.

Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references1 etc – see table at end of this section.

Replacing the Backup Battery

The PowerMax10-G2 uses regular electrical supply, but incorporates backup 4.8V battery pack (see sticker on battery cover). Upon receiving the following trouble message when reviewing system troubles (see Chapter 3 - Reviewing Trouble Information), contact your installer for instructions on how to proceed:

CPU LOW BATTERY

1. Battery insertion

2. Battery connection

Figure 10. Battery Replacement

Caution: Battery pack connector can be can be

connected in one direction only. Note: Dispose of used backup batteries according to

the manufacturer's instructions. Note: Removing the cover starts a Tamper alarm.

The trouble indicator will light and both Memory and Trouble will flash in the display window. If you view

the display at this stage by clicking the

OKI

key,

the "CPU TAMPER ALARM" and "CPU TAMPER

OPEN" messages are displayed in addition to the "CPU LOW BATTERY" message.

When you correctly insert fresh batteries and close the lid tightly, the TROUBLE indicator shuts off. The MEMORY message continues blinking in the display (because of the Tamper alarm you triggered). Clear it by arming the system and disarming it as soon as the exit delay starts.

Replacing Wireless Sensors Batteries

The wireless sensors supplied with your system are powered by high-capacity lithium batteries that last several years, depending on the number of times the sensor is triggered into transmission.

However, if and when a battery becomes weak, the sensor itself sends a “low battery” message to the control panel, and a low battery trouble message is displayed together with the zone information (see Chapter 5 - Reviewing Trouble Information). The keyfob transmitters used to control the system are powered by an alkaline battery that lasts about one year if you do not press a button more than 10 times a day. Battery exhaustion is clearly evident by flashing of the transmitter’s red indicator while the button is pressed (instead of lighting steadily).

When a low battery indication appears for the first time, it may be considered as a pre-warning. It normally gives you ample time (about 30 days) to obtain a new battery and replace the old one; the detector or keyfob unit will be fully operational throughout this period. However, to be on the safe side, it is advisable not to wait that long.

Use the battery specified in the detector’s own installation instructions. If you do not have the instructions, seek the advice of your installer or ask him to replace the battery in the specific sensor that sent the low battery message.

The Wireless Commander is powered by a long life 3 V Lithium battery. If the battery is weak when reading the PowerMax10-G2 event log the display will read, for example, "C01 Low Battery" (meaning there is a low battery condition in the wireless commander #01), and the message "remote commander" will be heard.

For replacing the wireless commander battery, refer to the MCM-140+ Wireless Commander user guide.

After battery replacement, the detector unit will send a “battery restored” signal to the control panel, and the “low battery” message will be cleared.

Gaining access to 24-hour zones

If you wish to access a sensor defined as a 24-hour zone without causing an alarm:

• Click

40 D-302757

Key your secret 4-digit <User Code> - the buzzer will play the “happy Tune” (- - - ––––).

You have 4 minutes during which the 24-hour sensor can be opened and accessed. When the 4 minutes are up, the system will automatically revert to the normal mode.

Cleaning the Control Panel

The control panel may occasionally get stained if touched with greasy fingers, and may accumulate dust after a long period of use. Clean it only with a soft cloth or sponge moistened lightly with a mixture of water and mild detergent, and then wipe it dry.

The use of abrasives of any kind is strictly forbidden. Also never use solvents such as kerosene, acetone or thinner. These will certainly ruin the external finish and damage the transparency of the top window.

Event Log

All events are memorized in an event log that contains up to 100 entries. You can access this log, review the events one by one and draw functional conclusions.

If the event log fills up completely it continues to accept new events at the expense of old events - the oldest event is deleted upon registration of each new event.

The date and time of occurrence are memorized for each event. When reading the event log, events are shown in chronological order - from the newest to the oldest.

Because of the limited display space, the event description is shown first, then the date and time. The two displays are shown alternately several

times, until you click

OKI

to move on to an older

event, or until the “no action” 4-minute timeout restores the system to the normal operating mode.

Access to the event log is provided by clicking the

button and then keying your master user

code.

Should you wish to get an overall view of using the log, refer to the procedure below.

Reading the Event Log

To read the event log, proceed as follows:

While the system is in the normal operating mode, click the key.

The PowerMax10-G2 display will change to [ENTER CODE: _].

When the PowerMax10-G2 display reads [ENTER CODE: _], enter the current master user code.

CODE

The "Happy Tuns" will sound and the PowerMax10-G2 display will read [LIST OF EVENTS]. (see Important Note!)

Click the

OKI

button. The latest event will be shown.

The event is displayed in two parts, for example, "Z13 alarm" then "09/02/10 3:37 P".

The two displays will be shown alternately until clicking

APPENDICES

42 D-302757

APPENDIX A. GLOSSARY

This list of terms is arranged in alphabetical order. Any term indicated by cursive (italic) letters within the explanatory text can be looked up separately.

Abort Period: When an alarm is initiated, the internal sounder is activated first for a limited period of time which is the abort period

set by the installer. If you cause an alarm accidentally, you can disarm the system within the abort period before the real sirens start and before the alarm is reported to the remote

responders.

Alarm: There are 2 kinds of alarm: Loud alarm

- both internal and external sirens blare out constantly and the control panel reports the event by telephone.

Silent alarm

- the sirens remain silent, but the control

panel reports the event by telephone. A state of alarm is caused by:

• Motion detected by a motion detector

• Change of state detected by a magnetic contact

detector - a closed window or door is opened

• Detection of smoke by a smoke detector

• Tampering with any one of the detectors

• Pressing the two emergency buttons simultaneously

(panic)

Arming: Arming the alarm system is an action that prepares it to sound an alarm if a zone is “violated” by motion or by opening a door or window, as the case may be. The control panel may be armed in various modes (see AWAY, HOME, INSTANT and LATCHKEY).

Assigned: Refers to zones. Associated: Refers to devices. AWAY: This type of arming is used when the

protected site is vacated entirely. All zones, interior and perimeter alike, are protected.

Chime Zones: Allow you to keep track of activity in the protected area while the alarm system is in the disarmed state. Whenever a chime zone is "opened", the buzzer beeps twice. The buzzer doesn't beep, however, upon closing the zone (return to normal). Residences can use this feature to annunciate visitors or look after children. Businesses can use it to signal when customers enter the premises or when personnel enter restricted areas.

Note: Your installer will never designate a 24-hour zone or a fire zone as a chime zone, because both zone types actuate an alarm if disturbed while the system is in the disarmed state.

Although one zone or more are designated as chime zones, you can still enable or disable the chime function.

Control Panel: The control panel is a cabinet that incorporates the electronic circuitry and microprocessor that control the alarm system. It collects information from various sensors, processes it and responds in various ways. It also includes the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad, display, sounder and loudspeaker.

Default Settings: Settings that are applicable to a specific device group.

Detector: The device (apparatus) that sends an alarm, that communicates with the control panel (e.g. Tower 20 AM is a motion detector, MCT-425 is a smoke detector)

Disarming: The opposite of arming - an action that restores the control panel to the normal standby state. In this state, only fire and 24-hour zones will sound an alarm if violated, but a “panic alarm” may also be initiated.

Disturbed Zone: A zone in a state of alarm (this may be caused by an open window or door or by motion in the field of view of a motion detector). A disturbed zone is considered “not secured”.

Forced Arming: When any one of the system zones is disturbed (open), the alarm system cannot be armed. One way to solve this problem is to find and eliminate the cause for zone disturbance (closing doors and windows). Another way to deal with this is to impose forced arming -

automatic de-activation of zones that are still disturbed upon termination of the exit delay. Bypassed zones will not be protected throughout the arming period. Even if restored to normal (closed), bypassed zones will remain unprotected until the system is disarmed.

Permission to “force arm” is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.

HOME: This type of arming is used when people are present within the protected site. A classic example is night-time at home, when the family is about to retire to bed. With HOME arming, perimeter zones are protected but interior zones are not. Consequently, motion within interior zones will be ignored by the control panel, but disturbance of a perimeter zone will cause an alarm.

Instant: You can arm the system AWAY-INSTANT or HOME-INSTANT, thereby canceling the entry delay for all delay zones for the duration of one arming period.

For example, you may arm the control panel in the HOME-INSTANT mode and remain within the protected area. Only perimeter protection is active, and if you do not expect somebody to drop in while the system is armed, alarm upon entry via the main door is an advantage.

To disarm the system without causing an alarm, use your control keypad (which is normally accessible without disturbing a perimeter zone) or use a keyfob transmitter.

Latchkey: The Latchkey mode is a special arming mode in which designated "latchkey users" will trigger a "latchkey message" to be sent to a telephone or a pager when they disarm the system.

For example, if a parent wants to be sure that their child has returned from school and disarmed the system. Latchkey arming is only possible when the system is armed in the AWAY mode.

Magnetic Contact Detector, Wireless: A Magnetcontrolled switch and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. The detector is mounted on doors and windows to detect changes in state (from closed to open and vice versa). Upon sensing that a door or window is open, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an “alarm” signal and various other status signals to the control panel. The control panel, if not armed at that time, will consider the alarm system as “not ready for arming” until it receives a “restored” signal from the same detector.

Motion Detector, Wireless: A passive Infrared motion sensor and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. Upon sensing motion, the detector transmits its unique identification code, accompanied by an alarm signal and various other status signals to the control panel. After transmission, it stands by to sense further motion.

Non-Alarm Zone: Your installer can designate a zone for roles other than alarm. For instance, a motion detector installed in a dark stairway may be used to switch on lights automatically when someone crosses the dark area. Another example is a miniature wireless transmitter linked to a zone that controls a gate opening mechanism.

Quick Arming: Arming without a user code. The control panel does not request your user code when you press one of the arming buttons. Permission to use this arming method is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.

Remote Responder: A responder can be either a professional service provider to which the home or business owner subscribes (a monitoring station) or a family relation/friend who agrees to look after the protected site during absence of its occupants. The control panel reports events by telephone to both kinds of responders.

Restore: When a detector reverts from the state of alarm to the normal standby state, it is said to have been “restored”.

A motion detector restores automatically after detection of movement, and becomes ready to detect again. This kind of “restore” is not reported

to the

remote responders. A magnetic contact detector restores only upon

closure of the protected door or window. This kind of “restore” is reported

to the remote responders. Sensor: The sensing element: pyroelectric sensor, photo-diode, microphone, smoke optical sensor etc.

Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. Upon detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and various status signals to the control

panel. Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm is initiated.

State: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOMEINSTANT, LATCHKEY, FORCED, BYPASS.

Status: AC fail, low battery, trouble, etc User Codes: The PowerMax10-G2 is designed to

obey your commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid security access code. Unauthorized people do not know this code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the system is bound to fail. Some operations, however, can be carried out without a user code as they do not degrade the security level of the alarm system.

Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under supervision of a specific detector. During programming, the installer allows the control panel to learn the detector’s identity code and links it to the desired zone. Since the zone is distinguished by number and name, the control panel can report the zone status to the user and register in its memory all the events reported by the zone detector. Instant and delay zones are “on watch” only when the control panel is armed, and other (24- hour) zones are “on watch” regardless of whether the system is armed or not.

APPENDIX B. HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLANNING

Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you a short time to escape safely. Your ability to get out depends on advance warning from smoke detectors and advance planning - a home fire escape plan that everyone in your family is familiar with and has practiced.

• Pull together everyone in your household and

make an evacuation plan.

• Draw a floor plan of your home, showing two ways

out of each room, including windows. Don’t forget to mark the location of every smoke detector.

Test all smoke detectors (by a qualified testing laboratory) periodically, to ensure to ensure their serviceability. Replace batteries as required.

• Make sure that everyone understands the

escape plan and recognizes the sound of smoke alarm. Verify that the escape routes are clear and that doors and windows can be opened easily.

• If windows or doors in your home have security

bars, make sure that the bars have quick-release mechanisms on the inside, so that they can be opened immediately in an emergency case. Quick release mechanisms won’t compromise your security, but they will increase your chances of safely escaping a home fire.

• Practice the escape plan at least twice a year,

making sure that everybody is involved - from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. The objective is to practice, not to frighten, so telling children there will be a drill before they go to bed can be as effective as a surprise drill. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the smoke alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency.

• Agree on an outside meeting place where

everyone can meet after they’ve escaped. Remember to get out first, and then call for help. Never go back inside until the fire department gives the OK.

• Have everyone memorize the emergency phone

number of the fire department. That way any member of the household can call from a cellular phone or a neighbor’s home.

• Be fully prepared for a real fire: when a smoke

alarm sounds, get out immediately and once you are out, stay bout - leave the firefighting to the professional!

• If you live in an apartment building, make sure that

you are familiar wit the building evacuation plan. In

case of a fire, use the stairs, never the elevator. Tell guests or visitors to your home about your family’s fire escape plan. When visiting other people’s home, ask about their escape plan. If they don’t have a plan in place, offer to help them make one. This is especially important when children are permitted to attend “sleepovers” at friends' homes.
