Installation Manual
The Installation Manual is not included in the package, however, it can be
purchased directly from your retailer. It is the installer's duty to read all the
Installation Manual thoroughly, in order to become familiar with all the
components and operating procedures of the Ability system. In order to
provide adequate protection, you (the installer) must adhere to all the
manufacturer's guidelines relating to the active and passive security
devices of this system. It is the installer's responsibility to inform the
system users that, regardless of its capabilities, an intrusion alarm system
is not a substitute for the necessary precautions building occupants must
take to prevent intrusion.

Operator Qualifications

Installer
The installer is the person (or group of persons) who sets up and programs
the entire security system in accordance with the purchaser's requirements
and in respect of the safety laws in force. As the only individual in contact
with system users, it is the installer's responsibility to instruct them on how
to use the security system properly.
Under normal circumstances, the installer is not allowed to arm/disarm the
system without previous authorization from the user. Due to the fact that
all the system partitions must be disarmed before accessing the parameter
programming phase.

User
The users are the occupants of the building where this intrusion control
panel is installed. Only authorized users can operate the system.
The most common operations can be carried out without code/key
verification. This method must be expressly requested by the main user, as
it considerably lowers the security level of the system and may cause false
alarms, accidental arm/disarm operations, etc.
