Chapter 4.0 Setting the Alarm System
4.0 Setting the Alarm System
4.1 Alarm System Arming/Setting Methods
The PowerSeries Pro system is capable of completing the full alarm system setting procedure
using one of the following methods:
•Push button switch mounted outside the supervised premises; or
•Protective switch (i.e., door contact) fitted to the final exit door of the alarmed premises or
area.
The setting procedure is a two-stage process that consists of initiating the alarm setting
procedure within the supervised premises (e.g., using a proximity tag or user code) followed
by completion of setting by one of the two methods mentioned above. Please check with the
installer which method has been enabled for your system.
4.2 Setting the System (Infinite Exit Delay)
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, your system is designed to send notification of an
improper exit when setting the system. When using the Push to Set, or Final Door Set feature,
attempting to set the system will start an infinite exit delay. The keypad will sound a beep once
per second. When you have opened and closed the final exit door, or after pressing the Push
to Set button, the exit delay will be reduced to the programmed value, which is typically 10
seconds, after which the alarm panel is set. When this time expires, the system checks for
detectors that may be open. If any of these are open, the panel will cancel the setting. If this
occurs, re-enter the premises, check the system, close any open windows or doors, and then
attempt to set again.
Note:
This feature must be enabled by the installer.
4.3 Away Setting the System with the Keypad
Away mode activates the complete alarm system by:
•Setting all perimeter sensors.
•Setting all interior sensors.
4.3.1 Setting the system in Away mode
To set the system in Away mode, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that you close all windows and doors.
2. Ensure that the Ready indicator is on.
Note:
You cannot arm the system until the Ready indicator is on.
3. Choose one of the following options:
•To quickly set the system, press [*][0].
•To set the system using the Away key, press and hold the Away key for 2 seconds. If it is
necessary, enter an access code, or present a proximity tag to the keypad reader.
If the system bypasses a zone, a warning appears on the keypad.
