The PowerMaxExpress control panel is supplied with 2 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).
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 and
described briefly in Appendix D.
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.
The programming flow charts in the programming section show all options available for each parameter. Factory defaults
are marked with a dark box to their right, and other options (that can be selected instead) are marked by clear boxes. This
method allows you to put a checkmark in the appropriate clear box whenever you deviate from the factory defaults.
Most of the programming section paragraph numbers correlate with the programming menu numbers. For example,
paragraph 4.4.19 describes the "Jam detect", that exists in menu 4 (define panel), sub-menu 19 (Jam detect).
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 item 10 on the installer‘s menu or
through the user menu (see User’s manual section 7).
After programming, proceed to install the system as detailed in the Installation Instructions, from paragraph 3.4 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 Z-A431PJ31X
manufactured by Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows alarm
reporting without breaking the internet connection. If the user has a Voice over IP phone system only, the control
panel will not be able to communicate with the central station via the PSTN telephone line. In this case, the user will
either need to install an additional telephone line, or connect a GSM module.

4. PROGRAMMING
4.1 INTRODUCTION
4.1.1 General Guidance
We recommend to program the PowerMaxExpress on the
work bench before actual installation. Operating power
may be obtained from the backup battery or from the AC
power supply.
The installer’s menu is accessible only to those who know
the installer’s 4-digit code, which is 9999 by factory default.
Note: Access to the installer menu, in PowerMaxExpress
that has "User Permission" enabled (for example in UK) is
accessible only at the end of the user menu. This option
can be changed if necessary (see par. 4.4.36).
For PowerMaxExpress that has 2 installer codes (not
applicable in UK), the default INSTALLER code is 8888
and the default MASTER INSTALLER code is 9999.
The following actions can be done only by using the
master installer code:
• Changing master installer code.
• Resetting the PowerMaxExpress parameters to the
default parameters,
• Defining specific communication parameters, as
detailed in a note in figure 4.5C.
Obviously, you are expected to use this code only once for
gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret code
known only to yourself.
You will mainly use 5 control pushbuttons during the entire
programming process:
- to move one step forward in a menu.
- to move one step backward in a menu.
OKI
to enter the relevant menu or confirm data.
-
- to move one level up in a menu.
- to return to the "OK TO EXIT" state.
The sounds you will hear while programming are:
- Single beep, heard whenever a key is pressed.
- Double beep, indicates automatic return to the
normal operating mode (by timeout).
-Happy Melody (- - - –––), indicates successful
☺
completion of an operation.
-Sad Melody (–––––), indicates a wrong move
or rejection.
4.1.2 Entering an Invalid Installer Code
If you enter an invalid installer code 5 times, the keypad
will be automatically disabled for 90 seconds and the
message WRONG PASSWORD will be displayed.
4.1.3 Installer’s Menu
The installer's menu is shown in figure 4.1a. The text in
rectangles represents the current PowerMaxExpress
display.
4.1.4 Setting a New Installer Code
To set an installer code, perform the actions that are
presented in figure 4.1b. When you are instructed to enter
code, enter a 4-digit code.
4.1.5 Setting a New Installer Code in
PowerMaxExpress that has 2
Installer Codes
For PowerMaxExpress with 2 installer codes, INSTALLER
code (default 8888) and MASTER INSTALLER code
(default 9999), set new codes as shown in figure 4.1c.
For details regarding the different authorization levels
when logging in with installer code and master installer
code, refer to the note inside figure 4.5C (DEFINE
COMM).
By using the master installer code, the menu enables
changing both master installer code and installer code.
By using the installer code, the menu enables changing
the installer code only.

4.4 DEFINING CONTROL PANEL PARAMETERS
4.4.1 Preliminary Guidance
This mode allows you to customize the control panel and
adapt its characteristics and behavior to the requirements of
the particular user. An illustrated process is shown in Figure
4.4. In this illustration, each selected option is displayed
with a dark box at the right side. To review the options,
repeatedly click
option is displayed, then click SHOW/OK button
or
button, until the desired
.
4.4.2 Entry Delays 1&2
(Fig. 4.4, location 01, 02). Two different entry delays allow
the user to enter the protected site (while the system is in
the armed state) via 2 specific doors and routes without
causing an alarm.
Following entry, the user must disarm the control panel
before the entry delay expires. Slow-rate warning beeps
start sounding once the door is opened, until the last 10
seconds of the delay, during which the beeping rate
increases. Locations No. 1 (entry delay 1) and 2 (entry
delay 2) allow you to program the length of these delays.
Available options for each delay are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s, 3m and 4m.
Note: To comply with CP-01 requirements, "00s" and "15s"
options are not available.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, the entry delay
must not exceed 45 sec.
Note: To comply with UL requirements, the entry delay
must not exceed 15 sec.
4.4.3 Exit Delay
(Fig. 4.4 location 03). An exit delay allows the user to arm
the system and leave the protected site via specific routes
and doors without causing an alarm. Slow-rate warning
beeps start sounding once the arming command has been
given, until the last 10 seconds of the delay, during which
the beeping rate increases. Location No. 3 allows
programming of the exit delay length. Available options
are: 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s, 3m, and 4m.
Note: To comply with CP-01 requirements, "30s" option is
not available.
Note: To comply with UL requirements, the exit delay must
not exceed 120 sec.
4.4.4 Bell Time
(Fig. 4.4, location 04). Here you select the length of time
the bell (or siren) is allowed to function upon alarm. The
bell time starts upon activation of the siren. Once the bell
time expires, the siren is automatically shut down.
Available options are: 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 15 and 20 minutes.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, the Bell Time
should be set to 15 min. max.
4.4.5 Abort Time
(Fig. 4.4 location 05). Here you select the length of time
allowed by the system to abort an alarm (not applicable to
alarms from FIRE, 24H SILENT, EMERGENCY, GAS,
FLOOD and TEMPERATURE zones). The
PowerMaxExpress is programmed to provide an “abort
interval” that starts upon detection of an event. During this
interval, the buzzer sounds a warning but the siren remains
inactive and the alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the
system within the allowed abort interval, the alarm is aborted.
Available options are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s, 2m, 3m
and 4m.
Note: To comply with CP-01 requirements, "60s", "3m" and
"4m" options are not available.
Note: To comply with UL requirements, the abort time must
not exceed 45 sec.
4.4.6 Alarm Cancel
(Fig. 4.4, location 06). Here you determine the ”cancel
alarm” period that starts upon reporting an alarm to the
central station. If the user disarms the system within that
time period, a “cancel alarm” message is sent to the
central station.
Available options are: 1, 5, 15, 60 minutes, 4 hours and
also cancel inactive.
Note: To comply with CP-01 requirements, "1 minute"
option is not available.
D-302989 13
4.4.7 Quick Arm
(Fig. 4.4, location 07). Here you determine whether 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.
The two options are: quick arm ON and quick arm OFF.
4.4.8 Bypass
(Fig. 4.4, location 08). Here you permit either manual
bypassing of individual zones (through the USER
SETTINGS menu), or allow the system to "force arm"
(perform automatic bypassing) of open zones during the
exit delay. If desired, press the arming key again if you want
to eliminate the protest tone that sounds during forced
arming. If a zone is open and forced arming is not
permitted, “NOT READY” is displayed and the system does
not arm (the “Sad Melody” will sound). If "no bypass" is
selected, neither manual bypassing nor force arming is
allowed.
Options: manual bypass, force arm and no bypass.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, "manual bypass"
or "force arm" must be selected.
4.4.9 Exit Mode
(Fig. 4.4, location 09). Here you determine exit mode
options. Three types of exit modes are available:
Restart Exit - 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.
Off by door - When the door is closed, the exit delay is
automatically terminated (even if the defined exit delay
was not completed).
Normal - The exit delay is exactly as defined, regardless
of whether the door is open or closed.
Restart + Arm Home - Exit delay restarts when the door is
reopened during exit delay. In the case that no door was
opened during exit delay "AWAY", the control panel will be
armed "HOME".
4.4.10 Piezo Beeps
(Fig. 4.4, location 10). Here you determine whether
warning beeps will sound or muted during exit and entry
delays. An additional option is to mute the warning beeps
only when the system is armed “HOME”.
Options: enable beeps, off when home and disable beeps.
Note: When exit beeps are disabled toward the end of a
delay, the happy (success) melody will sound.
4.4.11 Trouble Beeps
(Fig. 4.4, location 11). Under trouble conditions, the
sounder emits a series of 3 short beeps once per minute.
Here you determine whether this special beeping
sequence will be active, inactive, or just inactive at night
(the range of “night” hours is defined in the factory). The 3
options are: enable beeps, off at night(8 PM through 7 AM) and disable beeps.
4.4.12 Panic Alarm
(Fig. 4.4, location 12). Here you determine whether the
user will be allowed to initiate a panic alarm by
simultaneous pressing either the two panic buttons
keypad / wireless commander) or away + home
keyfob transmitter). Audible panic activates the siren and
simultaneously transmits a message via telephone. Silent
panic only transmits a message via telephone. The options
are: silent panic,audible panic and disable panic.
(on the
(on a
4.4.13 Swinger Stop
(Fig. 4.4, location 13). Here you determine the number of
times each zone is allowed to initiate an alarm within a
single arming/disarming period (including tamper & power
failure events of detectors, PowerMaxExpress, wireless
siren, etc.). If the alarms number from a specific zone
exceeds the programmed number, the control panel
automatically bypasses the zone to prevent recurrent siren
noise and nuisance reporting to the central station. The
zone will be reactivated upon disarming, or 48 hours after
having been bypassed (if the system remains armed).
Available options are: shut after 1, shut after 2, shut after 3 and no shutdown.
4.4.14 Cross Zoning
(Fig. 4.4, location 14). Here you determine whether cross
zoning will be active or inactive. Cross zoning is a method
used to counteract false alarms - an alarm will not be
initiated unless two adjacent zones are violated within a
30-second time limit.
This feature is active only when arming AWAY and only
with zone couples from zone No. 18 to 27
and 21, etc.). You may use any one of these zone couples
to create a “cross-zoned” area.
Note: If one of two crossed zones is bypassed (see Para.
4.4.8), the remaining zone will function independently.
Note: Every 2 crossed zones must be of the allowed zone
type (Interior, Perimeter, Perimeter follower).
The options are: cross zone ON and cross zone OFF.
Note: A common zone should not be defined as a cross
zone.
Cross zoning is not applicable in Entry/ Exit zones and
24h zones (Fire, Emergency, 24h audible, 24h silent).
(18 and 19, 20
4.4.15 Supervision
(Fig. 4.4, location 15). Here you determine the time limit for
reception of supervision reports from various supervised
wireless devices. If any device does not report at least
once within the selected time limit, an “INACTIVITY” alert
is initiated.
The options are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours and disable.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, 1 or 2 hours must
be selected.
4.4.16 NOT READY
(Fig. 4.4, location 16). Here you determine if the system
will be in NOT READY status when there is a supervision
failure. In the "in supervision" mode, the system will be in
NOT READY status if during the last 20 minutes a
supervision message was not received. Options: normal
and in supervision.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, "in supervision"
must be selected.
4.4.17 AUX Button A
(Fig. 4.4, location 17). Here you select the function of the
AUX button/ button A on keyfob transmitters MCT-234,
MCT-237 and wireless commanders MCM-140+. Two
options are offered for each AUX button:
Instant: Pressing the AUX button while the exit delay is in
progress will cause the system to arm “instant” (the entry
delay is canceled).
Skip exit delay: Pressing the AUX button will immediately
cause the system to arm immediately.
4.4.18 AUX Button B 2-W-KF
(Fig. 4.4, loc. 18). Applicable only for 2-way keyfob
MCT-237. Same as 4.4.17 but for AUX button B.
14 D-302989
4.4.19 Jam Detect
(Fig. 4.4, location 19). Here you determine whether
jamming (interfering transmissions, on the radio channel
used by the system) will be detected and reported or not.
If a jam detection option is selected, the system does not
allow arming under the relevant jamming conditions.
Option Detection and Reporting when
UL (20/20)
(USA standard)
EN (30/60)
(Europe standard)
class 6 (30/60)
(British standard)
Disabled (No jamming detection and reporting).
Jam Detection Options
There is continuous 20 seconds of
jamming
There is an accumulated 30 seconds of
jamming within 60 sec.
Like EN (30/60) but the event will be
reported only if the jamming duration
exceeds 5 minutes.
4.4.20 Latchkey
(Fig. 4.4, location 20). Here you determine whether the
system can be armed in the latchkey mode. If the system
is armed this way, a “latchkey” message will be sent to
specific telephones 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. The options are: Latchkey ON and Latchkey OFF.
4.4.21 “Not Active”
(Fig. 4.4, location 21). Here you determine the time limit for
reception of signals from sensors used to monitor the
activity of sick, elderly or disabled people. If no sensor
detects and reports movement at least once within the
defined time limit, a “not-active” alert is initiated.
Options: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72hours and no act disable.
4.4.22 Back Light (Optional)
(Fig. 4.4, location 22). Here you determine whether the
keypad back lighting will remain on at all times or will turn
on when a key is pressed and turn off within 10 seconds if
no further keystrokes are sensed.
The two options are: always on and off after 10 s.
Note: Back Light can be used only if this option is
available on the purchased control panel.
4.4.23 Duress
(Fig. 4.4, loc. 23). A duress alarm (ambush) message can
be sent to the central 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.
4.4.24 Piezo Siren
(Fig. 4.4, location 24). Here you determine whether the
internal siren will sound or remain silent upon alarm
(according to the user preference). Options: piezo siren on, piezo siren off.
4.4.25 Reset Option
(Fig. 4.4, location 25). (Not applicable in the USA)
Here you determine whether the system can be rearmed
(after an event) by the user or only by the installer.
Options: user reset or engineer reset.
If Engineer Reset is selected, the system can be rearmed
only by the installer
menu, by entering and exiting the event log (see section 7),
; by entering and exiting the installer
or by remote telephone. To perform Engineer Reset via the
telephone, establish communication with the
PowerMaxExpress (see user guide, par. 6.3A, steps 1-5)
and continue as follows:
a. [*], [installer code], [#]
b. Wait for 2 beeps
c. [*], [1], [#]
d. [*], [99], [#]
4.4.26 Tamper Option
(Fig. 4.4, location 26). Here you determine whether zone
tamper will be reported or ignored. Available options are:
zone tamper ON and zone tamper OFF.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, "zone tamper ON"
must be selected.
4.4.27 Siren On Line
(Fig. 4.4, location 27).
siren will be activated or not when the telephone line fails
during system armed state. Available options are: enable on fail, disable on fail.
Here you determine whether the
4.4.28 Memory Prompt
(Fig. 4.4, location 28). Here you determine whether the user
will receive indication that an alarm has been activated.
Available options are: enable and disable.
4.4.29 Disarm Option
(Fig. 4.4, location 29).
to disarm the system:
A. Any time.
B. In AWAY mode, during entry delay, by using the
PowerMaxExpress keypad or wireless sensor (keyfob).
C. In AWAY mode, during entry delay, by using a wireless
device (keyfob) only (this is set as a default in UK to
comply with DD243).
D. During entry delay, or by using the PowerMaxExpress
keypad in AWAY mode.
Options: any time, on entry all, on entry wireless, or
entry + away kp.
Here you determine when it is possible
4.4.30 Bell/Rep. Option
(Fig. 4.4, location 30). Here you determine whether an
alarm will be initiated (siren / report) when there is a
supervision / jamming failure during AWAY arming state.
Available options are: EN standard and other. When "EN
standard" is selected, if there is supervision / jamming
failure during AWAY arming, the siren is activated and the
events are reported as tamper events. When "Other" is
selected, there is no such activity during AWAY arming.
4.4.31 Low-Bat Ack
(Fig. 4.4, location 31). Here you determine whether the user
will hear or will not hear low battery sound when he tries to
disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery voltage is
low. Available options are: keyfob L-B on (the user has to
acknowledge the keyfob low battery message) or keyfob L-B off (the user does not have to acknowledge the keyfob
low battery message).
4.4.32 Screen Saver
(Fig. 4.4, location 32). Here you can determine that if no
key is pressed during more than 30 seconds, the display
will be “PowerMax” (to prevent possible intruder of
knowing the system status). You can determine that
normal display will return after pressing the
button followed by entering user code (Refresh by Code)
or after pressing any key (Refresh by Key).
D-302989 15
If Refresh by Key is selected, the first pressing of any key
(except Fire and Emergency) will cause normal display
return and the second press will perform the key function.
Regarding the Fire and Emergency keys, the first key
press will cause normal display return and also will perform
the Fire/Emergency function.
Options: scrn saver OFF, refresh by code, refresh by key.
4.4.33 Confirm Alarm
(Fig. 4.4, location 33). Here you determine that if 2
successive alarms will occur during a specific period, the
second alarm will be considered as a confirmed alarm
(for confirmed alarm reporting, (see par. 4.5.3).
Options: disable30 min., 45 min., 60 min., or 90 min.
4.4.34 AC FAIL REP
(Fig. 4.4, location 34). Here you determine the time interval
between AC power failure occurrence and the failure
reporting. Options: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes or
180 minutes.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, set to 60 min. max.
4.4.36 User Permission
(Fig. 4.4, location 36). Here you determine whether the
access to the INSTALLER MODE requires user permission.
If you select ENABLE, the installer mode will be accessible
only through the user menu after entering the user code.
Options: Enable, Disable.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, "Enable" must be
selected.
4.4.39 Key Zones Options (Optional)
(Fig. 4.4, location 39). Here you determine whether or not
the system can be armed and disarmed by zones 21-28, 29
or 21-29, provided that for these zones "non-alarm type"
and "z-key enable" was predefined (see par. 4.3 and
Appendix C14).
Key zones can be wireless or wired zones.
When using wireless key zones, only the MCT-100 and
MCT-102 transmitters are used. The right pushbutton on
the MCT-102 transmitter or input 2 of the MCT-100
transmitter is used for arming in AWAY mode. The left
pushbutton on the MCT-102 transmitter or input 1 of the
MCT-100 transmitter is used for disarming.
When using wired key zones an open circuit arms the
alarm system in AWAY mode and a closed circuit changes
the state of the alarm system from AWAY mode to Disarm.
(For information on how to connect to wired key zones,
see Fig. 3.1C Zones and Sirens Wiring.
IMPORTANT! Enrolment of the MCT-100 or MCT-102
transmitter must be performed via the right pushbutton on
the MCT-102 transmitter or input 2 of the MCT-100
transmitter (see section 4.3).
Note: Key Zones does not comply with Belgium TO14A
and EN 50131-5-3.
Caution! Arming the system using a transmitter
assigned to zones 21 and 28, or via wired zone 29
compromises security. This function is, therefore, only
available in specific PowerMaxExpress versions
according to the customer's request.
Options: disable option, z. 21-28 enable, z. 29 enable, or
z. 21-29 enable.

4.5 DEFINING COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS
Preliminary Guidance
This mode allows you to adapt the telephone
communication parameters to the local requirements.
Compatible central station receivers are:
Osborne-Hoffman model 2000, Ademco Model 685,
FBII Model CP220, Radionics Model D6500, Sur-Gard
Model SG-MLR2-DG and Silent Knight Model 9500.
IMPORTANT: In telephone / pager number locations and
account number locations, you may be required to enter
hexadecimal digits. In telephone number locations, these
digits are used as codes to control the dialer:
Hex.
Digit
Keying
Sequence
Code
Significance
A <#> ⇒ <0> Applicable only at the beginning of a
number - the dialer waits 10 seconds
or waits for dial tone, whichever
comes first and then dials.
D <#>⇒ <3> Applicable only at the beginning of a
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds
for dial tone and goes on hook if none
is received.
E <#>⇒ <4>Applicable only in the middle of the
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds
F <#> ⇒ <5> Not applicable in phone numbers
Note: A "+" can be entered at the beginning of the line by
pressing
and then .
To enter a series of digits, use the following keys:
<Numeric keypad> - to enter the number
- moves the cursor from left to right
- moves the cursor from right to left
- deletes everything after the cursor (to the right)
4.5.1 PSTN / GSM(Fig. 4.5 Detail A)
Area Code [Fig 4.5.1(1)]
Here you enter the system tel. area code (up to 4 digits).
Line Prefix [Fig 4.5.1(2)]
Here you enter the number that is used as a prefix to
access an outside telephone line (if exists).
Dial Method [Fig 4.5.1(3)]
Here you determine the dialing method used by the automatic
dialer built into the PowerMaxExpress control panel.
The options are: Pulse and tone (dtmf).
GSM Keep Alive [Fig 4.5.1(4)]
Here you prevent the GSM service provider from
disconnecting the GSM line if the user has not initiated any
outgoing telephone calls during the last 28 days.
The options are: disable and every 28 days.
4.5.2 GPRS / BB [Fig. 4.5 Detail B]
The GSM/GPRS module is capable of communicating with
the Central Station receiver by GPRS, GSM Voice and
SMS channels. Each of the channels can be separately
enabled or disabled in order to allow or prohibit the module
from using it for the event reporting. If all channels are
enabled, the GSM/GPRS module will always try GPRS
first. If fails, it will try GSM Voice. If fails, it will try any other
possible method (PSTN, Broadband) and only then it will
try SMS. This is due to the fact that SMS is the most
unreliable option of communication. Disabling any of the
GSM Module channels will cause the module to use a
different sequence than the one described above.
GPRS Report [Fig 4.5.2(1)]
Here you determine whether the alarm system will report
events to the central station via the GPRS channel.
The options are: disable and enable.
GSM Report [Fig 4.5.2(2)]
Here you determine whether the alarm system will report
events to the central station via the GSM voice channel.

4.10 DIAGNOSTIC TEST
This mode allows you to test the function of all protected
area wireless sensors / wireless sirens / wireless keypads /
GPRS / LAN connection / options for resetting the
Broadband Module and to receive / review information
regarding the received signal strength.
The diagnostic test process is shown in figure 4.10.
For WL Sensors / WL Sirens / WL Keypads:
Three reception levels are sensed and reported.
Received Signal Strength Indication:
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore,
a "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you get a
"poor" signal from a certain detector, re-locate it and re-test
until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received. This
principle should be followed during the initial testing and also
throughout subsequent system maintenance.

To verify proper function of all detectors in the system, a
comprehensive diagnostic test is required. To perform this
test, refer to figure 4.10.
5.3 Keyfob Transmitter Test
Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled as a
keyfob unit (according to the list in Table A2, Appendix A).
Use each transmitter to arm the control panel AWAY and
immediately disarm it. Upon pressing the keyfob unit’s
AWAY key, the ARM indicator should light.

VIOLATED
It is advisable to let the central station know that you are
conducting this test, or just disconnect the telephone line from
the PowerMaxExpress during the test, to prevent false alarms.
6.3 Fuse Replacement
The PowerMaxExpress has an internal fuse that has
automatic reset. Therefore, there is no need to replace fuse.
When over current condition occurs, the fuse cuts off the
circuit current. Upon fault current being removed for
several seconds, the fuse is automatically reset and allows
current flow through the circuit again.
6.4 Replacing/Relocating Detectors
Whenever maintenance work involves replacement or relocation of detectors, always perform a full diagnostic test
according to par. 4.10.
Remember! A "poor" signal is not acceptable, as stated at
the end of the test procedure.
Events are stored in the event log. You can access this log

APPENDIX C. Programmable Zone Types
C1. 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 PowerMaxExpress 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.
C2. 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 PowerMaxExpress to send an
emergency call to the central 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.
C3. Fire Zones
A fire zone uses smoke detectors and is permanently
active (a fire alarm is triggered regardless of whether the
system is armed or disarmed). Upon detection of smoke, a
pulsating siren sounds immediately and the event is
reported via the telephone line.
C4. Flood Zone
A flood zone is permanently active (a flood alarm is
triggered regardless of whether the system is armed or
disarmed). Upon detection of flood leak, the event is
reported via the telephone line.
C5. Gas Zone
A gas zone is permanently active (a gas alarm is triggered
regardless of whether the system is armed or disarmed).
Upon detection of gas leak, the event is reported via the
telephone line
.
C6. 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
D-302989 33
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.
C7. 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
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.
ignored by the alarm system during entry/exit
C8. 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.
C9. 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 ONOFF 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.
C10. 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.
C11. 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.
C12. Temperature Zone
A temperature zone uses a wireless temperature detector to
detect both indoor and outdoor temperatures and is
permanently active. The detector monitors room temperature
using an internal sensor. For outdoor or refrigerator
installations, a waterproof temperature probe (optional) is
used. There are a total of four fixed temperature points and
the user can enable one or more temperature points.
Upon detection of change in temperature a digital
message is transmitted and the event is reported.
C13. 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 PowerMaxExpress dials telephone
numbers and reports the event to central stations and/or
to private telephones, as programmed.
•24 Hour Zone - Audible. - Upon detection, this zone
initiates a siren alarm. The PowerMaxExpress also dials
telephone numbers and reports the event to central
stations and/or to private telephones, as programmed.
C14. Key Zones (Optional)
Key zones are zones that can be used for arming and
disarming the system by MCT-100 and MCT-102
PowerCode transmitters that are enrolled to a zone. In
addition, the alarm system may be armed / disarmed by a
keyswitch when connected to wired zone 29.
Defining a zone as a KEY ZONE includes the following actions:
a. The zone should be defined as non-alarm type zone
(see par. 4.3).
b. "Z-KEY ENABLE" should be selected for such a zone
(see par. 4.3).
c. According to the zone number, "z. 21-28 enable", "z.29
enable", or "z. 21-29 enable" should be selected in the
DEFINE PANEL menu (see par. 4.4.39).
APPENDIX D. PowerMaxExpress Compatible Devices
D1. PowerMaxExpress Compatible
Detectors
Each detector compatible with the PowerMaxExpress
system is packed with its own installation instructions.
Read them carefully and install as indicated.
A. PIR Motion Detectors
The wireless passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors used
in the system are of the PowerCode type. The
PowerMaxExpress is capable of “learning” each detector’s
identification code and linking it to a specific zone (see par.
4.3 in this Guide). Some units are shown below:
NEXT
K9-85 MCW
Note: K-940 MCW, Discovery K9-80/MCW and NEXT
K9-85 MCW are pet immune units.
In addition to its unique 24-bit identification code, each
detector transmits a message, containing status
information:
• The detector is in alarm (or not).
• The detector is being tampered with (or not).
• The battery voltage is low (or normal).
• “This is a supervisory message”.
If any of these detectors detects motion, it sends out a
message to the alarm control panel. If the system is in the
armed state, an alarm will be triggered.
B. Magnetic Contact Transmitter
MCT-302 is a PowerCode magneticcontact transmitter used to detect the
opening of a door or a window.
contacts are closed as
window remains
The unit has an extra alarm input that acts as if it were a
separate wireless transmitter. It sends (or does not send) a
“restored to normal“ message to the alarm system,
depending on the setting of an on-board “DIP” switch. The
“restore” message informs you, through the control panel’s
display, whether the door or window is open or closed.
C. MCT-100 Wireless Adapter for Wired Detectors
MCT-100 is a PowerCode device used
mainly as a wireless adapter for 2 regular
magnetic switches installed on 2 windows in
the same room. It has two inputs, behaving
as separate wireless transmitters with
different PowerCode IDs. Each input sends
(or does not send) a “restored“ message to
the alarm system, depending on the setting
of an on-board “DIP” switch.

D2. PowerMaxExpress Compatible
Transmitters
The PowerMaxExpress system is compatible with multibutton and single button key-ring and hand-held
transmitters that use PowerCode and CodeSecure coding
®
methods.
Multi-button PowerCode transmitters transmit the same
code each time the same button is pressed. They can be
used for emergency signaling. They can not be used for
arming / disarming.
CodeSecure transmitters are of the rolling code type - they
transmit a new code each time the same button is pressed.
This provides a higher security level, especially in arming /
disarming applications, because the code can not be
copied (“grabbed”) by unauthorized people.
Following are the basic details of several compatible
transmitters. The possible applications for each pushbutton are indicated in each drawing.
