Stopping an alarm: When the alarm sounds - press the DISARM ( ) button on your key-ring transmitter or press

on the keypad and then enter your access code (1 1 1 1 by default). Stopping trouble beeps: When trouble occurs in

the system, the TROUBLE indicator on the front panel will light, and a sequence of 3 beeps will sound once per minute. If you do not wish to eliminate the trouble immediately and the beeps are bothersome, press the

DISARM ( ) button on your key-ring transmitter, or press

on the keypad and then enter your

access code (1 1 1 1 by default). This will silence the buzzer for 4 hours, after which the trouble beeps will resume sounding. Be advised, however, that in any case the trouble beeps are silenced during night hours.

Perimeter and interior zones versus 24-hour

zones: Most of the protection sensors in your system

are linked to perimeter and interior zones. These zones trigger alarms while the system is in the armed state and do not trigger alarms while the system is in the disarmed state. Other sensors are linked to 24hour zones which trigger alarms irrespective of arming/disarming.

Arming while perimeter zones are not

secured (doors and/or windows are open):

Your display will read “NOT READY” if a protected

door or window is open. You can find out which zone is “not ready” by clicking the button. You can eliminate the problem by closing the door/window

or by performing "Forced arming" (zone deactivation) if this option was enabled by the system installer. In case you intentionally choose to bypass a zone, leave the door or window open and arm the system (a voice message will announce that "Forced Arming” is under way).

Bypassed zones will not be protected during one arming period.

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

 Click - the display will read:

NORMAL MODE / WALK TEST.

 Click again - the display will read:

USER SETTINGS.

 Click - the display will read: ENTER

CODE ___.

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.

Canceling accidental alarms: Upon alarm, the internal sounder is activated first for a limited period of time (set by the installer). Then the external siren starts and the event is reported to the central monitoring station. If you accidentally cause an alarm, you may simply disarm the system before the external siren starts - the alarm will not be reported.

If you cause an alarm accidentally and the external siren has already started - you can still disarm the system within a time limit set by the installer (1 to 15 minutes, as desired). If you manage to disarm on time, a CANCEL ALARM message will be automatically sent to the central monitoring station.

Failing to exit before the exit delay expires: If you exit the protected site after the exit delay expires (the exit delay beeps stop), the system will interpret this as if you just entered. The entry delay countdown will begin and the entry delay beeps will sound. To prevent an alarm, you must disarm the system before the entry delay expires.

Unauthorized entry took place while you

were away: If you hear alarm sirens when you are

about to re-enter the premises, and lights which should be off are on - an intruder may still be inside or another event may have occurred. Do not confront the intruder - remain outside and call the emergency services.

1. Introduction

Overview

The PowerMaxPro is a wireless alarm control system that provides protection against burglary, fire and tampering. In addition, it can be used to control lights and electrical appliances within your household and/or to monitor the activity of disabled or elderly people left at home. Status information is presented visually and verbally, and in most cases a recorded voice prompts you to take correct action.

The PowerMaxPro is governed by a control panel (Figure 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 and verbal status information, and initiates an alarm if smoke is detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour 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 with Cover Closed

You will need a 4-digit security code to master the system (code 0000 is disallowed), 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 and proximity tags that will allow you and other users to easily control major functions.

Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted areas. Presenting a valid proximity tag while the system is armed causes the system to disarm. Presenting a valid proximity tag while the system is disarmed causes the system to be armed in AWAY or HOME modes.

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.

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 to central monitoring stations (in digital form) and to private telephones (in plain language 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.

System Features

Figure 2. Typical System Configuration

Your PowerMaxPro offers a large number of unique features:  30 zones: Each protected zone is identified by

number and by name.

 3 Partitions (optional): One of the advantages of

 Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-

 Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language

the PowerMaxPro is its ability to divide the system into a maximum of 3 partitions. Each partition may be viewed as a separate security system, each of which can be armed and disarmed individually or altogether in one operation.

INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY and BYPASS.

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. In addition, it is used for the Scheduler where activity of a device is performed according to a specific time and date selection.

 Various reporting destinations: Events are

reported automatically to central monitoring stations, private telephones of your choice, 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).

 Spoken announcements and instructions:

Status- dependent, pre-recorded verbal messages are heard over the built-in loudspeaker (if the voice prompts are enabled - see chapter 7).

 Message exchange: Before leaving the premises,

you may record a short verbal message for other users of the system who may arrive later. Upon arrival, you can listen to verbal messages left by others for you.

 Access from remote telephones: You may

access the PowerMaxPro from a remote telephone and Arm/Disarm it or receive system status information.

Note: Remote operation is performed per partition, or per user code defined for a particular partition, when partition is enabled.

 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.

 Electrical device control: Lights and electrical

appliances can be controlled if optional X-10 modules are used. The electrical cabling network of the premises carries the control signals. Your installer will determine the control means in accordance with your needs.

 PGM remote control: Gate control mechanisms,

courtesy lights and various other devices can be switched on and off via a special PGM (programmable) output. Your installer will determine the control means, in accordance with your needs. Note: The X-10 and the PGM outputs

operate on the entire alarm system and not per partition, when partition is enabled.

 Data retrieval: You can obtain status information,

trouble information and review memorized alarm events - visually and verbally.

 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 central station (see chapter 2).

 System supervision: All wireless peripherals

within the protected site send periodic supervision messages. If such a message is overdue, the PowerMaxPro 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 PowerMaxPro displays

a ‘Low Battery’ message whenever a battery in a

wireless sensor is found to be near the end of its useful life.

Terms of the Trade

Better understanding of your system is assured if you take time to read the definitions in APPENDIX A at the end of this manual. However, if this is not your first alarm system, then simply read on.

Control Pushbuttons

When the keypad cover is closed, as shown in Figure 1, only two pushbuttons are visible - the top panel controls:

With the keypad uncovered (see Figure 3), the special-function keys are visible. The tasks of these keys are explained in the relevant sections of this guide.

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.

C. Getting status information: Upon pressing the

aux button on your transmitter, the control panel announces the system status over the loudspeaker. When partition is enabled, the control panel announces the status of the partition to which the keyfob is enrolled.

D. 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.

A PANIC alarm can be initiated: through the MCT-

234 keyfob, by pressing AWAY and HOME together for 2 sec.; through the MCT-237 keyfob, by pressing the AUX1 and AUX2 buttons for 2 sec.; through the MKP-150/151 keypad by pressing the # and * buttons for 2 sec., and through the MKP-160 keypad

by pressing the and buttons for 2 sec. Pressing AWAY twice within 2 seconds initiates Latchkey arming, if enabled by the installer. The devices can be used for:

A. Controlling a gate or another electrical

device: Pressing the AUX button opens/closes

an electrically-controlled gate, or controls a chosen electrical d.

B. Arming the system in the INSTANT mode:

Your system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled to the system. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety of functions without entering user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc. Whenever the user code is required, you can simply present a valid proximity tag and perform the desired operation without the need to key-in your user code.

Voice Announcements

The pre-recorded voice announcements respond to your commands by announcing what the system is doing and by prompting you to perform certain actions. They also announce alarms, troubles and identify the source of each event.

INTRODUCTION

Screen Saver Option

The purpose of the Screen Saver option (if enabled by the installer) is that when no key is pressed during more than 30 seconds, the display reads “PowerMax” and the LEDs do not light (to prevent an intruder to know the system status). The normal display returns

after pressing the button followed by entering user code (Refresh by Code) or after pressing any

key (Refresh by Key), as selected by the installer. If Refresh by Key was selected, the first pressing of

any key (except Fire and Emergency) causes normal display return and the second press performs the key function. Regarding the Fire and Emergency keys, the first key press causes normal display return and also performs the Fire/Emergency function.

Partition selection process

Access to any desired partition is achieved through the use of an individual code or proximity tag. It is not possible to access the INSTALLER MENU if one or more partitions are in the AWAY or HOME modes.

Before attempting to perform any operation on any given partition(s), it is necessary to perform the operations below which enable you to select the desired/allowed partition(s) using the individual code or proximity tag:

If the system is not ready for arming, click to review the numbers and names of all open zones /

partitions, 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 PowerMaxPro will prompt you to enter your security code before arming.

Arming ‘AWAY’

If the system is READY, proceed as shown:

ARM indicator lights steadily during the armed

state.

Arming ‘HOME'

Note: The “Sad Tune” will be heard when attempting to select a partition to which no sensors / peripherals were enrolled.

If all perimeter zones are READY, and quick arming is allowed, proceed as shown:

Preparing to Arm

Before arming, make sure that READY (*) / P# RDY (**) is displayed. This means that all zones (*) / partitions (**) are secured and you may arm the system (*) / partition (**) any way you choose.

* In non-partitioned system ** In partitioned system When non partitioned 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.

When partitioned system is not ready for arming (at least one partition zone is open), the display is N. RDY TRBL (trouble), N. RDY MEM (memory), N. RDY MSG (message) or N. RDY BYPASS.

Forced Arming AWAY

Forced arming allows you to arm any system partition 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:

To stop the alarm, press valid user code.

4. Electrical Appliance Control

Control Options and Pushbuttons

The system allows manual or automatic remote control of up to 15 electrical devices (lights, radio/TV, tape recorders, fans etc.). This requires an optional X-10 controller and up to 15 remote X-10 units (see Fig. 2). ON / OFF control codes are communicated via the regular household electrical wiring.

Besides the X-10 units (numbered 1 to 15), it is possible to control a device connected to the PGM output (unit # 00).

The user defines the ON and OFF times via the Scheduler (see Chapter 7 - Scheduler Function). The installer determines which zone sensors will switch the remote controlled appliances on and off. However, the

decision whether the remote controlled appliances will respond as programmed is up to you (see next

table).

Note: The X-10 output operates on the entire alarm system and not per partition.

Manual Switch-On

You can switch appliances ON as instructed below. This example shows how to switch on the lights controlled by X-10 unit No. 01.

The lights controlled by X-10 unit No. 01 are switched on.

Manual Switch-Off

You can switch appliances OFF as instructed below. This example shows how to switch off the lights controlled by X-10 unit No. 01.

Examples of benefits gained by automatic remote control:

 Timer Control. When you are away, the timed

activation / de-activation of lights, radio and TV simulates the presence of people at home, to deter potential burglars.

 Zone Control. Upon disturbance of a perimeter

zone, lights are switched on and a tape recorder starts running, playing back a series of dog barks.

Note: Automatic activation and deactivation of electrical appliances depend also on the Scheduler setup (see Chapter 7 - Scheduler Function).

16 D-303978 PowerMaxPro User's Guide

The lights controlled by X-10 unit No. 01 are switched off.

5. Reading Alarm Memory and Trouble Data

Reviewing Alarm/Tamper Memory

The PowerMaxPro retains in its memory alarm and

“tamper” events that occurred during the last arming

period. For PowerMaxPro that includes partition option: In order to review alarm and tamper events of a specific partition, you need to select the desired partition(s), (please refer to Partition Selection Process).

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. Alarm / Tamper Indications

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:

(alternating)

or, if the system is not ready for arming -

(alternating)

B. Investigating Alarm/Tamper Data

To review memory content, click button. EXAMPLE 1: An alarm was triggered because the

garage door - zone No. 12 – was opened but then closed. In addition, the bedroom motion detector zone No. 7 - sent a “Tamper” message because its cover had been removed.

In response to additional clicking of the

button, the display shows details of

other events retained in open tamper (if any), or reverts to its initial state (see A above).

EXAMPLE 2: An alarm was triggered because the garage door - zone No. 12 – was opened and remained open.

Remember! The memory indication and content are cleared upon the next arming of the system.

Reviewing Trouble Information

A. Trouble Indications

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. The LCD will display the zone number(s) of the location of the trouble indication. When partition is enabled, the LCD will display the partition(s) and the zone number(s) of the location of the trouble indication. The trouble types are as follows:

SENSOR TROUBLES

 Inactivity - No radio signals have been received

from a particular sensor / wireless commander (if its supervision feature has been enabled) during a pre-defined period.

 Low battery - The battery in a sensor, keyfob or

wireless commander is near the end of its useful life.

 "Clean me" - The fire detector must be cleaned.  Gas trouble - Gas detector failure.  Siren AC failure - There is no power to the siren.  X-10 trouble - An activation command was sent to

a two-way X-10 unit but the command implementation confirmation (acknowledgement) was not received.

 AC failure – There is no power to gas sensor GSM TROUBLES (if used)

 GSM AC failure - No power to GSM unit.  GSM low battery - GSM battery voltage is low.  GSM tamper- Someone tampered with the GSM unit.

system is working on backup battery power.

 System Jammed - A radio-frequency signal is

blocking communication channel of sensors and control panel.

 Communication failure - A message could not

be sent to the central monitoring station or to a private telephone (or a message was sent but was not acknowledged).

 CPU low battery - The backup battery within

the control panel is weak and must be replaced (see Chapter 9 - Replacing Backup Battery).

 CPU tamper - The control panel is being

tampered with.

 Fuse Trouble - The siren fuse is burnt out.  Line Failure – There is a problem with the

telephone line

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.

B. Investigating Trouble Sources

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

(alternating)

or, if the system is not ready for arming -

(alternating)

You can review the current troubles one by one, by clicking the button.

EXAMPLE: The kitchen sensor - zone No. 9 in partition 3 - has been inactive and the living room sensor - zone No. 15 in partition 3 - has reported a low battery. 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 display will show details of other troubles (if any), or

will revert to the initial alternating displays (see example above).

or, if the system is not ready for arming -

(alternating) (alternating)

Note: When a voice message is in memory, the MSG display will also appear (as shown in Chapter 3 Recording a Message).

To read status information - memory data, open zones and trouble sources (in this order) - click the

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.

D-303978 PowerMaxPro User's Guide 19

READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA

INACTIVITY: Once an inactive wireless device renews its periodical transmissions, the inactivity trouble no longer exists and will no longer be indicated by the control panel.

LOW BATTERY: Upon replacing the battery in a wireless sensor in a keyfob or in a wireless commander that reported a low battery, the next transmission made by the relevant sensor will

include a “battery restored” message, and “low battery” will no longer be indicated by the control

panel.

SYSTEM TROUBLE: Correction of any one of the system troubles is automatically sensed by the control panel, and the trouble indication is cleared accordingly.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Looking after People Left at Home

An important characteristic of the PowerMaxPro 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 “notactive” alert message to the central 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.

To make this possible, ask your installer to define one of the 28 zones of the PowerMaxPro as an emergency zone.

Then, obtain one of the transmitters listed below and link this transmitter’s ID code to the emergency zone.

Compatible distress transmitters are (see Fig. 5):

MCT-201 - pendant-type MCT-211 - wristwatch-type MCT-101 - pocket-type

Figure 5. Single-button Emergency Transmitters

Remote Control by Telephone

A. Establishing Telephone Communication

You can access the PowerMaxPro system from a remote telephone and perform arming and disarming, activation and deactivation of electrical devices and the auxiliary output (PGM), record, playback and erase a voice message, and investigate the system status. The process is shown in the next illustration.

1. Dial the PowerMaxPro tel. No.

Emergency Calls for Help

Suppose the disabled person discussed above has an accident such as falling in the bathtub without being able to get up. It might take hours before the

“No Active” alert is sent out, but he (or she) must be

assisted much sooner. Even though the odds for such an accident are not

high, it is advisable to provide the disabled person with a miniature, single-button pendant-type or wristwatch-type transmitter. Pressing the button on this transmitter will cause the PowerMaxPro to send

an “emergency call” to the central monitoring station

or to private telephones designated by the installer.

Conducting a Walk-Test

The walk-test is an indispensable operation by which

you verify that all detectors function properly, without

disturbing the neighbors with loud sirens. The test

must be performed at least once a week, and

should include all detectors in all zones.

Before performing walk-test, all the detectors 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.

A typical test will take place as follows:

A. Click

B. Click the button, the display will

prompt you for your user code:

The display will read:

C. Enter your code. The siren will sound for 2

seconds and the display will change to:

D. Walk throughout the protected area and make

sure you trigger every detector with no exception (move across the field of view of motion detectors and open/close doors and windows). Each time a detector is triggered:

 The “Happy Tune” will sound,  The zone name and number will be displayed

briefly.

EXAMPLE 1: You triggered a motion detector in the living room (zone 11). The display will show:

7. User Settings

What are the Settings You Need?

The installer provides you with a ready-to-use alarm system, but a few settings and adjustments will still be needed.

Note: Although the user settings are your responsibility, you may request your installer to perform them for you (except for the user codes which you would like to keep secret).

The user settings include (if enabled by the installer):

 Bypassing zones - determining which zones

will be bypassed (disabled) during the present disarm period and the next armed period.

 Reviewing the bypass list - "show bypass" -

displaying the numbers and names of bypassed zone one by one.

 Recalling the last bypassing scheme - "recall

bypass" - re-using the previous bypassing scheme, which becomes suspended after disarming but is still saved in the PowerMaxPro memory.

Note: RECALL BYPASS is applicable when partition is disabled.

 Private report* - determining the event groups

to be reported to private telephone subscribers. Determining the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th telephone numbers to which the system will report event messages that were defined by the system installer. Determining the number of times the called party's private telephone number is dialed. Determining whether or not 2-way voice communication with private telephones will be allowed. Determining whether to use a single acknowledge signal, or, an acknowledge signal from each telephone before the current event is considered reported. Determining the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th SMS telephone numbers to which preselected event types will be reported.

 Setting user codes* - programming a security

code for yourself and additional 7 codes for other system users. Codes 5 through 8 are “Latchkey” user codes (see Chapter 2 - Arming in the Latchkey Mode for additional details).

 Enrolling keyfob transmitters* - teaching the

PowerMaxPro system to recognize the ID code of each keyfob transmitter (multi-button, CodeSecure™ type, wireless transmitter), so that the PowerMaxPro can respond to commands transmitted by them.

 Enrolling proximity tags* - teaching the

PowerMaxPro to recognize the ID of each proximity tag so that the PowerMaxPro can respond to proximity tags presentation.

 Setting voice options* - enabling or disabling

verbal announcements (prompts).

 Auto arm option* - enabling or disabling

automatic arming (at a predefined time).

26 D-303978 PowerMaxPro User's Guide

 Setting auto arm time* - selecting automatic

arming time.

 Using squawk option* - enabling/disabling

LOW/MID/HI squawk (short siren sound) upon arming and disarming by keyfob. All the options are applicable for wireless siren. For wired siren, refer to LOW, MID and HI options as "squawk enable".

 Setting the time and time format* - adjusting

the built-in clock to show the correct time and time format.

 Setting the date and date format* - adjusting

the built-in calendar date and date format.

 Setting the scheduler* - setting schedule for

devices start/stop activation.

* This option can be accessed only if master user

code has been entered.

USER SETTINGS

Bypassing Zones

A. General Guidance

You can program the PowerMaxPro to exclude (bypass) selected zones, regardless of whether these zones are "functional" (undisturbed) or "open" (disturbed). Bypassing permits free movement of people within certain zones although the system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from service faulty zones that require repair work. Fire and temperature zones can not be bypassed. Remember – zone bypassing compromises security!

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

B. Bypassing Procedure

When partition is enabled, you may set the bypass option according to the type of partition access permission. Having entered your user code successfully (see above

- Entering the User Settings Menu), the display will read:

If at this point you click , the number and state of the first zone / partition containing the first

zone (when partition is enabled) will be automatically displayed. Three states are then made possible:

 Open: The zone is not secured - you can

bypass the zone if you do not wish or know how to solve the problem right away.

 Bypassed: The zone is presently bypassed

(you bypassed it before but have not armed the system yet).

 Functional: If there is nothing wrong with the

zone, its state is described as "Functional".

Let us assume that Zone 1 in partition 3 is "open" and you wish to bypass it, and the rest of the zones are functional.

You can select any other item on the USER SETTINGS menu or quit programming by clicking

. When <OK> TO EXIT is displayed - click

button.

At the end of the bypassing operation, BYPASS blinks:

This indication will persist as long as the system remains disarmed, and will disappear once the system is armed.

Note: BYPASS will alternate in the display with other messages, such as: TRBL, MEM and MSG.

C. "Unbypass" Procedure

Suppose you wish to restore zone 22 of partition 3 after having completed the bypassing scheme. Simply re-enter the SET BYPASS menu (see Bypassing

Procedure above), and click or until the zone you wish to "unbypass” in the desired

zone/partition is displayed. Refer to the following steps.

You may now click and then select any other item on the USER SETTINGS menu, or click

to quit programming. When <OK> TO EXIT appears

- click .

back to <OK> TO EXIT.

Recalling the Last Bypass Scheme

Arming the alarm system with several zones in the bypassed state is in fact "partial arming". An identical partial arming may be repeated by recalling the last bypassing scheme (that was suspended and memorized upon disarming the system).

Having entered your user code successfully (see above - Entering to the User Settings Menu), the display will read:

At this point proceed as follows:

Report to Private

Here you determine the event groups to be reported – "disable report", "all", "all (-op/cl)" (all messages, except open/close), all (–alerts) (all messages, except alerts), "alarms", "alerts", "op/cl" (open/close).

Private Telephone Numbers

Here you determine the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th telephone numbers to which the system will report event messages that were defined by the system installer.

Redial Attempts

Determining the number of times the called party's private telephone number is dialed (1, 2, 3, or 4 attempts).

Voice Private

Here you determine whether or not 2-way voice communication with private telephones will be allowed.

Telephone Acknowledgement

Here you determine whether to use a single acknowledge signal, or, an acknowledge signal from each telephone before the current event is considered reported.

SMS Messages

Here you determine the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th SMS telephone numbers to which pre-selected event types will be reported.

Perform the above mentioned settings according to Figure 8 (Private Report) menu. These settings may be performed by the installer, if desired.

READING THE EVENT LOG

Event Log Description

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.

Figure 9. Using the Event Log

Reading Procedure

To read the event log, proceed as follows: A. While the system is in the normal operating

mode, click the asterisk () key. The display will change to:

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 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

asterisk () key and then keying your master user code.

Should you wish to get an overall view of using the log, refer to Figure 9. The flow chart may even serve as your only guide to using the event log, instead of going through the written step-bystep procedure.

The two displays will be shown alternately until you click again to move to the next event, or until the event log times out (4 minutes).

D. Click as many times as necessary

to read all the data you need.

B. Enter the current master user code. If the code is

correct, the “Happy Tune“ will sound and the display will read:

IMPORTANT! Entering an incorrect code 5 times in a row will initiate a 30-second penalty lockout of the keypad.

C. Click . The latest event will be

shown. Suppose that the latest event was an alarm in zone 13. The display will now read (when partition is enabled and the event is linked to a particular partition):

Open battery compartment cover. Insert one 8battery pack and connect its connector to the PowerMaxPro receptacle.

For optional two 8-Battery packs: Insert both battery packs and connect one battery pack connector to either receptacle and the second battery pack connector to the other receptacle.

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

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.

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 PowerMaxPro 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.

Periodic Testing

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 Chapter 6 Conducting a Walk-Test, and if there is any problem, notify your installer at once.

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).

36 D-303978 PowerMaxPro User's Guide

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.

10. Performance Limits

PERFORMANCE LIMITS

Although the alarm control system you purchased is highly reliable, it does not guarantee protection from burglary and fire hazards. Even the most advanced systems can be defeated or might occasionally fail to warn. Some of the reasons for this are:

Sloppy maintenance: If the system is used over a long period of time without testing, a key element such as a detector or a siren might go wrong without any visible or audible signs of failure. If a low battery warning is neglected, there will be no backup power to keep the system operational during a power outage.

Power failures: In case of prolonged absence from the protected site, the mains supply may suddenly fail (an earth leakage protection relay may trip, disconnecting the mains supply). After such an event, the alarm system will draw power from the backup battery, until all reserve power is exhausted, leaving the premises without protection.

Telephone line trouble: Telephone lines may be disconnected or short circuited. With the telephone line "down", your alarm system will not be able to report events to the central station.

Sirens do not always wake up sound sleepers: Sirens and bells installed outside or far from bedrooms are not likely to awaken people who are sound asleep behind closed doors inside the protected area or in adjacent buildings.

The system is sometimes defeated: With sufficient technical know-how, intruders may find a way to defeat various types of sensor or disconnect warning devices. Intruders may also take advantage of unprotected openings and skylights, or even enter forcibly at unpredictable spots.

Smoke detectors have their limits: In many cases, smoke detectors fail to warn on time because the fire started at a different level of the house, or too far away from the detector.

All this gives sufficient proof that even with a good alarm system installed, there is still need for life and property insurance. In addition, users should test their alarm systems at regular intervals, to make sure that malfunctions are detected before a true alarm event occurs.

APPENDIX A. PARTITIONING

The PowerMaxPro includes an optional partition feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently controllable areas with different user codes assigned to each partition or one user code assigned to a combination of up to 3 partitions. A partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system. For example, you can define the garage as partition 1, the basement as partition 2, and the house as partition 3. Since each partition is independent of other partitions, you can arm or disarm each partition as desired without altering the states of the other partitions.

The PowerMaxPro also includes a common area (zone) functionality whereby the user is able to control an area that is common to two or more partitions. For example, a hall which is common to two offices, each of which are assigned to separate partitions, will be armed only after both offices (partitions) are armed. In the armed state the hall will be disarmed after one of the offices (partitions) has disarmed to allow the user to use the hall without generating an alarm. Up to 30 common areas may be defined for the system's 30 zones.

Note: It is not recommended to define common areas as cross zones.

Arm/Disarm Common Area

APPENDIX B. GLOSSARY

collects information from various sensors, processes it and responds in various ways. It also includes the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad,

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).

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

D-303978 PowerMaxPro User's Guide 41

display, sounder and loudspeaker. 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 when they disarm the system.

Note: This applies to latchkey users 5 to 8 only.

APPENDICES

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 central 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.

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.

User Codes: The PowerMaxPro 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 C. HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLANNING

APPENDICES

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.
