OPERATION
Using the Keyswitch & Learn Function
The alarm keyswitch is typically the only external display control
available to the store employees. The keyswitch has two settings:
ALARM ON
– Turning the keyswitch to
ALARM ON
activates all
properly mounted sensor cables (solid red LED) and arms the
alarms. It also causes the system to perform an ‘auto learn’
function.
DISARM ALARM
– Turning the keyswitch to
DISARM ALARM
disables all current alarms and keeps any new alarms from be-
ing heard. Use this setting when you want to change products
on the display, perform routine maintenance, or troubleshoot
certain problems.
The ‘Auto Learn’ Function
An ‘auto learn’ function is performed whenever the keyswitch
is turned from
DISARM ALARM
to
ALARM ON
, or when system
power is recycled or restored. As part of this function, the system
checks the existing product/puck configuration and resets the
alarm module to treat this existing configuration as ‘normal.’
For example, if there is not a product mounted on a puck, the
missing product would normally trigger the alarm. However, if you
turn the keyswitch from
DISARM ALARM
to
ALARM ON
, the system
resets and now believes the missing product is a normal condition
and no alarm sounds. Once a product is added back to this puck,
you must again perform the learn function to re-establish this as
the new ‘normal’ condition.

LED Flashing

state of alarm
Important!
If the LED is off, the
position is not armed.
A position becomes active if it is in
an alarm state when you perform
the “learn” function.
If you turn the keyswitch to DISARM
ALARM, the audible alarm quits but the
LED continues to blink until the alarm con-
dition is resolved or system relearned.
If you turn the keyswitch to DISARM
ALARM and then back to ALARM ON
(without resolving the alarm condition), the
audible alarm quits and LED turns off.
Understanding the LED Indicators
Each sensor has an LED that indicates its current alarm status. The LED has three states:
LED Off
Sensor is inactive
and not armed
Sensor is active
and armed
