Introduction
The PX Electronic Intruder Alarm System is designed to provide secure protection for the installation.
The system is highly versatile, permitting individual systems to be installed and programmed to meet the
particular security requirements of each installation.
The system comprises a main control panel, normally located out of sight in a secure area, and at least
one keypad.
The panel has a wide range of features, which are programmed by the engineer on installation, to suit
the security requirements of the particular installation. Some of the features may be reprogrammed,
edited, or viewed as required by an authorised user.
Event Log
The system incorporates an event log capable of recording the at least 250 events. The actual number of
event stored is dependent on the panel type as shown in the table.

The event log will record all events, for example, user log-on times and user numbers, keypad numbers,
setting and unsetting times, alterations made to programmed settings, fault conditions, etc. When the
event log is full, the oldest event will be automatically removed when the next event occurs.
All log events are date and time stamped and may be viewed, or printed if a printer is fitted to the
system.
Areas & Set Groups
For protection purposes, the premises may be divided into a number of areas. Individual areas may be
grouped together into a setting group which provides the user with a convenient way of setting and
unsetting more than one area at the same time.
The installation company engineer will have configured your system for the appropriate number of areas
and groups to comply with your specific security requirements.
Where more than one area is incorporated in the system, an area(s) can be configured by the
installation engineer as a common area. A common area will automatically set if all other areas of the
system are set and will automatically unset if any one of the other areas is unset.
Circuits
Each detector or sensor in the installation is allocated a unique circuit number. The installation engineer
will have programmed each circuit to respond in a certain way when the circuit is activated, when the
area is set and unset. The way in which the circuit is programmed to respond will depend on the type of
circuit and its location and purpose.
If a circuit is faulty, the alarm response may be turned off by an authorised user. This process is referred
to as bypassing.
