NTRODUCTION
This manual is intended as a quick reference User Guide for the 3GS System. This manual was designed for use with
the Europlex 3GS Version 5 Integrated Security Alarm System. It explains how to arm and disarm the system and details
all user functionality.
Note In compliance with EN50131-1:1997 and EN50131-6:1998, all codes are now 6 digits in length.
User Menu
The User Menu, by which the user programs the system, is accessed via the keypad by keying in your 6 digit User Code
– which is unique to each user – plus the option key Help. This will allow you to choose one of the menu options
available.
Display
The 3GS system has a two line by 24 character LCD display e.g.
When you are navigating through the Help menu:
●
The first line shows the option
●
The second line shows how to directly select the option without using the Help function.
Alert Messages
When in normal operation, the system will display the day, date and time on the first line of the display. The second
line will flash any recent system events or information (such as a fault with one of the fuses or battery, or an alarm
condition).
If the condition continues, e.g. Battery Problem, the message displays steadily instead of flashing. This message will
continue to display until you remove the message [See page 36: Accept all Alerts] .
If the system is in Full Set/Full Arm mode [See page 12: Full Set] , there is no alert message indication on the display,
the bells will trigger as required and the system dials out.
Pressing
001020 SHIFT SHIFT PART will give information on the areas/zones affected.
These messages can be removed from the display (and the buzzer silenced) using the Alert Accept procedure.
Keypad Private Mode
The 3GS is designed to allow only one user at a time to operate the system.
If the display shows: when you attempt to use the keypad, this means that a user is
operating the system at another keypad. Wait until the system is free before attempting to use the keypad again.
Alarm Duress Code
3GS has an in-built Alarm Duress Code feature, which allow you to trigger a silent Duress alarm by simply keying in the
first 5 digits of your code, and then the sixth digit plus 1. For example, if your code is 001234, then by keying in
001235 you will trigger a Duress alarm, which will not display on the panel and will not sound an alarm, but will send
a trigger directly to your central security station.
