Confirmation Beep
When you have successfully completed a function, such as entering a program or changing a setup item, the console will beep
once.
Cancel
If you are ever unsure and wish to return to the top-level display, press the ' * ' key. You may have to press it more than once,
depending on how far into the function (menu) you are. Each time you cancel out of an operation, the console will beep once to
indicate that you have canceled.
The ' * ' key can also be used if you make a mistake while entering a number. For example, if you enter a 2 when you meant to
enter a 3, press the ' * ' key to start over.
Time Out
If you are called away from the console for any reason (to take a phone call, for instance) while you are engaged in an operation,
the console will "time out" and cancel it for you after 3 minutes. The display will return to the normal top-level display.
Areas
If there is an area or a separate building that needs to be protected, your installer can divide your HMS 1100 system into two
independent security systems: Area 1 through Area 8 (up to 8 Areas). Each area has complete access to all of the capabilities of
the HMS 1100, yet the HMS 1100 can protect each area individually.
You may decide to use the Area feature if you have a guesthouse or workshop that you would like to have protected separately
from your home, or maybe you have a business and would like to protect an inventory stockroom separately from the offices in
your building.
The console in each area acts as if it were controlling its own HMS 1100 system. Each area is assigned, by your installer, a
console, a group of zones, control units, macro buttons, messages, and thermostats. These items can only be controlled where
they have been assigned.
HMS 1100 Maintenance
Your HMS 1100 controller and the consoles are designed to require very little maintenance.
For smoke detectors, motion detectors, and other components not manufactured by OnQ Technologies, Inc. and follow
maintenance procedures outlined by the manufacturer.
Consoles can be cleaned using a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Every three years, or if the "BATTERY LOW TROUBLE NOW" indication comes on and stays on for an extended period
without reason, the rechargeable battery in the controller should be replaced. The recommended battery type is a 12-volt, 7 amp-
hour sealed lead-acid battery.
To replace the battery, disconnect the red battery wire from the battery (+) terminal. Cover the connector at the end of the wire
with electrical tape to avoid its touching anything in the enclosure. Disconnect the black wire from the battery (-) terminal and
cover the connector at the end of the black wire with tape. Remove the old battery. Install the new battery by reversing the
removal procedure. Be very careful to connect the Black wire to the (-) terminal on the battery; Red wire to the (+) terminal.
