Description
ISOLATE
Manager
Isolating a zone deactivates that zone until such time as the zone is de-isolated
again. All zone types on the SigNET 200/300 can be isolated.
Use of this feature to deactivate faulty or open zones should be considered carefully;
once a zone is isolated, it is ignored by the system and could be overlooked when
setting the system in the future, compromising the security of the premises.
To isolate a zone, see Section 4.2.
INHIBIT
Standard
Manager
Inhibiting a zone deactivates that zone for one alarm set period. Only alarm,
entry/exit, fire exit and line zone types can be inhibited.
This is the preferred method of deactivating a faulty or open zone as the fault or open
condition is displayed on the Keypad each time the system is being set to remind the
user to attend to that zone.
To inhibit a zone, see Section 4.1.
CHANGE
CODE
Standard
Manager
This menu option allows users to change their user codes.
To change a user code, see Section 4.8.
GRANT
ACCESS
Manager
This option allows users to grant access to manufacturer and engineer programming.

SET DATE
/ TIME
Standard
Manager
Use this menu option to program the time and date on the system.
Ensure the time and date information is accurate; these fields are presented in the
event log when reporting system events.
To set date or time, see Section 4.3.
TEST
Standard
Manager
This menu option provides the following test features:
1. Bell test The bell test activates the external bells, strobe, internal bells, and buzzer
in turn for 5 seconds to ensure their correct operation.
2. Walk test
A walk test allows for testing of the operation of all alarm sensors on a system.
When this option is selected, the Keypad displays the number of zones to test on the
system. Activate each alarm sensor (by opening the door or window) and check for
an audible beep at the Keypad. Isolated and inhibited zones are not included in the
walk test.
3. Audible Options
This option allows users to select which devices will activate during the walk test and
which will be silent.
To perform a test, see Section 4.4.
EVENT
LOG
Standard
Manager
This menu option displays the most recent event on the Keypad display. The event
log details the time and date of each logged event.
To view log, see Section 4.5.
CHIME
Standard
Manager
All zones that have the CHIME attribute generate a short burst of audible tone on the
Keypad buzzer when they are opened (while the system is unset).
This menu option allows for enabling or disabling of the chime feature on all zones.
To enable or disable the chime feature, see Section 4.6.
SETUP
SMS
Manager
This feature allows users to set up the SMS messaging service if a modem is
installed on the system.
To perform SMS, see Section 0.
