Preparing to Arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed.
HH:MM READY
This indicates that all zones are secured and you may arm the system as desired.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will read:
HH:MM NOT READY
This indicates that the system is not ready for arming and in most cases that one or more
zones are not secured. However, it can also mean that an unresolved condition exists
such as certain trouble conditions, jamming etc., depending on system configuration.
To review the open zones click
. The details and location of the first open zone detector (usually an open
door or window sensor) will be displayed. To fix the open zone, locate the sensor and secure it (close the door
or window) – see "device locator" below. Each click of
will display another open zone or trouble indication.
It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus restoring the system to the state of “ready to arm”. If you
do not know how to do this, consult your installer.
Note: To quit at any stage and to revert to the "READY" display, click
.
Device Locator:
The PowerMaster system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or
troubled devices indicated on the LCD display. While the LCD displays an open or faulty device, the LED on the
respective deice flashes indicating "
it's me
". The "
it's me
" indication will appear on the device within max. 16
seconds and will last for as long as the LCD displays the device.
Zone Bypass Scheme
Bypassing permits arming only part of the system and at the same time allowing free movement of people within
certain zones when the system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from service faulty zones that
require repair work or to deactivate a sensor if, for example, you are decorating a room.
You can set the Zone Bypass Scheme i.e. to scroll through the list of registered (enrolled) sensors to your
PowerMaster system and to Bypass (deactivate) faulty or disturbed sensors (either READY or NOT-READY) or
to Clear (reactivate) BYPASSED zones (sensors).
Once you have set a Bypass Scheme you can use the following 3 options:
To quickly review the bypassed zones – refer to Chapter 6, section A.2 of the KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide.
To quickly clear a bypassed zone i.e. to reactivate the bypassed zone – refer to Chapter 6, section A.1 of
the KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide.
To repeat (recall) the last used zone bypassing scheme – refer to Chapter 6, section A.3 of the KP-250 PG2
User’s Guide.
Notes:
1. Zones will be bypassed throughout one disarm-arm period only. Disarming the system after arming will
suspend the entire bypassing scheme but you can recall and reuse it as described in Chapter 6, section A.3
of the KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide.
2. Fire zones cannot be bypassed.
