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 includes an optional partition
feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three
independently controllable areas with different user
codes assigned to each partition. A partition can be
armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the
other partitions within the system.
The 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.

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

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

combination up to 3 partitions.
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-

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
Single beep, heard whenever a key is
pressed
Double beep, indicates automatic return
to the normal operating mode (by

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

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.

trouble: If trouble is detected in the armed
state, the TROUBLE indicator on the front panel
will light and the disarming operation will
progress as shown:
E. Disarming after an alarm, with the system in a
state of trouble: The TROUBLE indicator on the
front panel will light. If the zone that alarmed while
the system was in the armed state reverts to
normal mode the disarming operation will progress
as shown:
ARM indicator extinguishes and
sounds once per minute.
To find out which zone alarmed and what kind of
trouble is being sensed, see Chapter 5. The
TRBL display will disappear, the TROUBLE
indicator will extinguish and the trouble beeps will
stop upon eliminating the cause for trouble. The
MEMORY message will disappear only upon
rearming the system.
F. Disarming under Duress. If you are forcibly
compelled to disarm the system, enter the duress
code (2580 by default) or another code set by the
installer. Disarming will take place normally but a
silent alarm will be transmitted to the central
station.
Siren Behavior
The total siren time does not exceed the maximum
time as configured by the installer.
Continuously ON when initiated by a burglar zone
or a 24-hour zone, and when a user initiates a “panic
alarm”.
When initiated by a fire zone (smoke is detected) ON -
ON - ON - pause - ON - ON - ON - pause - ........
and so on.
If there is nobody around to disarm the system upon
alarm, the siren will sound for the time duration set
by the installer - then will stop. The strobe light will
keep flashing until the system is disarmed.

Proximity Tags
Valid proximity tags enable you to perform variety of
functions without entering user code, for example,
arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc.
Whenever user code is required, you can simply
present a valid proximity tag instead of entering user
code.
SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE
When the system is disarmed, after presenting a
valid proximity tag to the control panel, the message
"<OK> for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press
the button to immediately arm the control
panel, or wait for 3 second for system automatic
AWAY arming (the message "Please exit now" will
be displayed). Presenting the proximity tag once
again will DISARM the system.
