USEFUL HINTS FOR POWERMAX+ USERS
Stopping an alarm: When the alarm sounds - press the DISARM (
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
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 24-hour 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
<SHOW/OK> 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 <NEXT> - the display will read: NORMAL MODE.
• Click <NEXT> again - the display will read: USER SETTINGS.
• Click <SHOW/OK> - 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.
This system is suitable for Grade A household burglary applications.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The PowerMax+ 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 PowerMax+ 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.
You will need a 4-digit security code to master the system,
and you can authorize 7 other persons to use the system
by providing them with their own security codes. Moreover,
you can obtain up to 8 multi-function key-ring transmitters
that will allow you and other users to control major
functions without approaching the control panel.
IMPORTANT! All you need to know to secure your premises can be found in Section 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.
15 ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES (CONTROLLED VIA EXISTING ELECTRICAL CABLING).
ON/OFF BY VARIOUS FACTORS AS PROGRAMMED BY THE INSTALLER
The system identifies a wide range of events - alarms,
attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of
trouble. Events are automatically reported via the public
telephone network or GSM network 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.

1.2 System Features
Your PowerMax+ offers a large number of unique features:
•30 zones: Each protected zone is identified by number and
by name (ask your installer to assign names to your zones).
•Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language status
information and prompts are displayed on the front panel
in large, clear letters.
•Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the right
side of the display.
•Various reporting destinations: Events are reported
automatically to central monitoring stations, private
telephones of your choice and even to a pager.
•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 Para. 7.10).
•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.
•Keypad and wireless control: Full control from the
keypad; major functions can be carried out by pressing
buttons on hand-held miniature transmitters.
•Access from remote telephones: You may access the
PowerMax+ from a remote telephone and Arm/Disarm it
or receive system status information.
•Numerical keys serve as function keys: In the
disarmed state, numerical keys are used to control
various system functions. A simple icon on each key
identifies the task of that key.
•Electrical device control: Lights and electrical
appliances can be controlled if optional X-10 modules
are used. The electrical cabling network of the building
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.
•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 (not used in UL-listed systems):
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 too long.
•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 Para. 2.13F).
•System supervision: All wireless detectors and wireless
commanders within the protected site send periodic
supervision messages. If such a message is overdue, the
PowerMax+ displays an ‘inactivity’ trouble message. Your
installer can disable this feature if so desired.
DE5467U 5
•Battery supervision: You do not have to worry about
‘dead’ batteries. The PowerMax+ displays a ‘Low
Battery’ message whenever a battery in a wireless
device is found to be near the end of its useful life.
1.3 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.

select a displayed option.
With the keypad uncovered (see Figure 4), the specialfunction keys are visible. The tasks of these keys are
explained in the relevant sections of this guide.
1.6 Multi-Function Transmitter
Your system responds to
signals sent by a 4-button
miniature ‘keyfob’ trans-
mitter (MCT- 234) that you
and other users can carry.
The function of each key is
indicated in Figure 3 on the
right. Your installer can
program the AUX (auxiliary)
button to perform various
tasks, as required.
Note: For UL-listed systems, the AUX button shall not be
programmed to activate any output.
A. Controlling a gate or another electrical device:
Pressing the AUX button opens/closes an electricallycontrolled gate, or controls a chosen electrical device.

DISARM
AUX
B. Arming the system in the INSTANT mode (without
an entry delay): Pressing the AUX button immediately
after arming, during exit delay, causes the system to
be armed without an entry delay. This means that
entering the protected premises via any zone will
trigger an immediate alarm. You and other holders of
keyfob transmitters will have no problem, because you
can disarm the system before entering by pressing the
DISARM (
) button on your transmitter before entry.
C. Getting status information: Upon pressing the AUX
button on your transmitter, the voice module
announces the system status over the loudspeaker.
Disarming by a keyfob whose battery voltage is low
If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery
voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard for 15 seconds
(if this beep is enabled by the installer). 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 message will be stored in
the event log.

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 ack-
knowledge, otherwise the acknowledgement will not be
stored in the event log.
1.7 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.
The pre-recorded plain language announcements made by
the voice module are quite clear and self explanatory.
Therefore, the spoken text was omitted in the following
sections of this guide and focused attention on visual
display and sounder beeps. This way the user guidance is
brief and concise.

1.8 Screen Saver Option
The Screen Saver option (if enabled by the installer)
causes that when no key is pressed during more than 30
seconds, the display is “PowerMax” and the LEDs do not
light (to prevent an intruder to know the system status).
The normal display returns after pressing the OFF 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
the Fire/Emergency function.

2.8 Forced Arming
(Not to be used in UL- listed systems)
Forced arming allows you to arm the system even though
one zone or several zones are disturbed, and the NOT
READY message is displayed.
Automatic forced arming only works if the installer allowed
this option while programming your system. Disturbed
zones will be bypassed - they will not be armed. The protected site will not have maximum protection.
Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer
“protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit
delay until the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can
silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.
When NOT READY is displayed, Forced arming “AWAY”
is performed as follows:

2.9 Arming in the Latchkey Mode
(Not to be used in UL-listed systems)
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:
Action Resultant Display Sound
(within 2 seconds)
Vacate the premises
2.10 Initiating a Panic Alarm
You can generate a panic alarm manually in the disarmed
and armed states alike. If this feature has been enabled by
the installer (consult your installation company to determine
if it has been enabled).The sequence will be as shown:
Action Resultant Display Sound
