2. Everyday Operation
The 8136 provides several different ways for setting the system. All methods
(except using a
Keyswitch)
require entering your access code at the keypad.
The Keyswitch
method uses a key in a special switch. "Setting the System"
below describes each method. Ask you Installer to provide the method that
suits your site best.
During installation the Installer programs the system to create an
exit route
for your premises. When setting the system you must follow this route to
leave the premises. Similarly you must follow a specified
entry route
when
going into the premises in order to unset the system. If you stray from these
routes you may cause a false alarm.
Note:
The system may be programmed so that your access code can set some
Levels but not others. See "6. Supervisor".
Setting the System
Timed Setting
With Timed Setting the system sets after a programmed
exit time.
Ask your
Installer to make sure the exit time is long enough for you to leave the
premises and close the final door. The exit time starts when you finish
entering the set command at the keypad. During the exit time the keypads
give a continuous
exit tone
to warn you that the timer is running. If you hear
an interrupted tone from the keypad when you try to set the system then a
detector is being triggered. (This is normal when you are walking past Entry
Route detectors.) Make sure that everyone is out of the premises and all
doors and windows are closed.
1.
Key in your access code at the keypad.
2.
Press the appropriate Level button followed by Enter.
The keypad starts the continuous exit tone, the
Level LED flashes, and the display shows:
AREA READY
LEAVE
3.
Leave via the designated exit route. Close the final door.
At the end of the exit time the system sets, and stops the exit tone. Your
Installer may have programmed the system to light a LED to show
which Level is set.
You can also set the system by entering your access code and pressing
Enter. The system will set to the highest Level that the Installer has pro-
grammed.
