TERMINOLOGY
The microcomputer based 8 Zone
CONTROL PANEL forms the heart of
your security system and connects to all
other equipment. Each ZONE of the
Panel will be connected to one or more
detection devices to protect an area
such as the front door, hallway,
windows, etc.
The Panel is said to be ARMED when it
is set to detect an intruder. At other
times it is DISARMED.
Normally a zone is considered
SECURED. Activation of a detection
device will cause the zone to be
UNSECURED and may cause an alarm.
Detectors such as fire detectors and
panic buttons must be able to generate
an alarm at all times regardless of the
Panel setting. A zone with this
assignment is called a 24 HOUR ZONE.
Some detection devices may only be
required to generate an alarm or
warning only when the panel is
DISARMED. A zone with this
assignment is called a DAY ZONE.
Before leaving the premises you must
ARM the Panel to enable it to detect
intruders and generate an alarm. After
ARMING, the Panel will ignore
detectors for the EXIT DELAY TIME to
enable you to depart without triggering
an alarm.
When you enter the premises the Panel
will ignore selected zones for the
ENTRY DELAY TIME and will not alarm
unless you fail to DISARM the panel
during this allowed time.

MONITOR MODE allows selected
zones to be armed while leaving others
disarmed if you wish to protect a
number of zones while you are at
home.
If you wish to split your alarm system
into two areas with access limited to
each area by code numbers then
AREA operation is used.
The Control Panel housing and the
metal covers over external sirens are
protected by TAMPER snitches to
detect someone attempting to disable
the security system. Activation of these
switches will cause an instant TAMPER
ALARM.
If a detector becomes faulty, you can
EXCLUDE the associated zone so that
it is totally ignored and cannot generate
an alarm. INCLUDING the zone will
enable it to generate an alarm again.
The Control Panel is fitted with a
rechargeable STAND-BY BATTERY to
ensure your security system continues
to operate if the MAINS POWER is
interrupted. This battery is checked
every hour and whenever you Arm the
Panel.
Whenever an alarm occurs, it may be
silenced by entering an ACCESS
CODE, otherwise it will reset at the end
of ALARM RESET TIME. All alarms
are stored in MEMORY and may be
viewed at any time by entering
MEMORY MODE.
