IDS400 USER MANUAL
1. Introduction to the IDS400
The IDS400 Control Panel is manufactured to the highest specification
and will provide many years of service if correctly installed and main-
tained. The unit is designed for simple operation yet provides the
maximum protection for you, your family or business. For trouble free
operation please follow the instructions contained in this User Manual.
Your security system consists of a control panel, one or more key-
pads and various sensors and detectors. A metal cabinet will contain
the control panel which includes the system electronics, fuses and
stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone but the
installer or service professional to have access to the control panel.
1.1 Notes
L
Read the entire manual carefully and keep it in an accessible
place.
L
Your security system should be installed and serviced by a
qualified security professional who should instruct you on the
level of protection that has been provided and on systems
operations.
L
If you have any questions regarding the operation of the system,
contact your security company representative.
L
Your system should be tested on a regular basis. Before testing
the system please notify your security company of your intention
to do so.
L
NEVER
disconnect the mains power as the back-up battery will
eventually discharge which will cause the control panel to
switch off.
L
It may be possible to arm the security system without the back-
up battery connected. Ideally, your periodic tests should be done
with
AC
power removed to verify the battery is connected and
adequately charged. ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY IS
RECONNECTED
L
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only
intended to alert you and - if included - your central station of an
emergency situation.
L
Warning devices will need to be visible and loud enough, wired
