Introduction
The QX Electronic Intruder Alarm System is designed to provide secure protection for the 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 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 group is incorporated in the system, a group(s) can be
configured by the installation engineer as a common group. A common group 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.
User, Set group and Circuit Identification
Each user, set group, circuit and concentrator can be programmed with a text description.
User Codes
Each user of the system is identified by a unique code. This code can be a PIN code, an electronic
key or proximity card or fob. An electronic key can only be used on a keypad variant with an
electronic key interface. A proximity card or fob can only be used on a keypad variant with a proximity
interface. The default PIN code for user 2 is
0202
. Throughout this manual user codes are only
referred to as codes.
