USING YOUR PIN CODE TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM

You need a PIN code and/or a card to use the Advisor MASTER system. Your PIN code has between four and ten digits and is unique for each user. The manager of the security system has programmed your PIN code so that it lets you do specific tasks, such as arming or disarming the system. You can only access the menu options that your PIN code had been authorised to access. When you try to access an option that you are not authorised to access, you get the message You are unauthorised for this function.

Also, although you may be able to access a menu option, depending on how your PIN code has been programmed, you may not be authorised to access all the information available on it. If you access the menu and do not use any keys for two minutes, you will automatically exit from the menu. It is a good practice to exit the menu using the CLEAR button rather than the time out facility because if someone else uses the menu before it times out, the functions used can be logged against your PIN code.

ARMING THE SYSTEM

You arm the premises, or an area in it, when it is unoccupied, for example at the end of the day when everyone has gone home. Then if an unwanted event occurs, such as someone forcing open a door, this sets off an alarm. The time limit to leave the premises once armed: Once you have armed the system, you must leave the premises (or area) within a pre-set time as otherwise you will set off the alarm. The manager of your system will infom you what this time limit is. Normally, you will hear a beeper during the time allowed to leave the building. When you cannot arm or disarm: You might not be authorised to arm/disarm specific areas in the premises because: Your PIN code has been programmed to arm/ disarm only specific areas in the premises. Make sure you know which areas you are authorised to arm/disarm. Your alarm system might have more than one control panel. If so, each will have been programmed to arm/disarm only specific areas in the premises. Make sure you use the correct keypad for the areas you want to arm/disarm. You cannot arm an area if it has a zone that is open, such as the magnetic contacts of a door or window. So, before arming, make sure that all doors and windows are properly closed. If a zone is open when you try to arm, the keypad will beep quickly seven times and you will get the message Active on .... You must then fix the problem. The manager of your system will tell you which keypad(s) you can use and which area(s) you can arm/disarm.

When to arm:

Start with this message. The Code line is the bottom line. The LED of the area you want to arm is off. Enter your PIN code

PIN code not programmed to display areas

After entering the code and pressing ENTER, all disarmed areas are automatically armed and the display returns to the beginning. PIN code programmed to display areas You can do one of three options: 1. Display more areas lets you display the next disarmed area in the list. Select the area you want to arm as explained below (option 3) or press NEXT again. When finished, press ENTER. 2. Arm all areas - lets you arm all the areas at once. Press the 0 button and then ENTER.

3. Arm individual areas- lets you arm selected area(s) one at a time. Enter the area number and press ENTER for each area you want to arm.

When finished, press ENTER again.

When an area is armed, its LED lights up red.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

When to disarm: If the area you want to enter is armed, you must first disarm the alarm system before you can enter as otherwise you will set off the alarm. You will know when an area is armed because its LED on the keypad will be lit red. The time limit when disarming: Once the system is armed, you have to disarm the area within a pre-set time as otherwise you will set off the alarm. The manager of your system will tell you what this time limit is. You will normally hear a beeper during the time allowed to enter. Disarming when there is an alarm: If there is an alarm condition while you are disarming the system, the alarm is reset. You must then find out what caused the alarm and fix it. Use the function Listing recent alarms to get a list of all the alarms that recently have happened (see page 20). When you cannot disarm: You might not be authorised to disarm specific areas in the premises. See the earlier section When you cannot arm/disarm on page 8 for more information.

The system is armed. Start with this message. The Code line is the bottom line. The LED of the area you want to disarm is red.

PIN code not programmed to display areas All programmed armed areas are disarmed automatically. PIN code programmed to display areas You can do one of four options: 1. Display more areas lets you display the next disarmed area in the list. Select the area you want to disarm as explained below (option 3) or press NEXT again. When finished, press ENTER. 2. Disarm all areas - lets you disarm all areas at once. Press the 0 button and then ENTER. 3. Disarm individual areas- lets you disarm selected area(s) one at a time. Enter the area number and press ENTER for each area you want to disarm. When finished, press ENTER again. 4. Exit lets you exit the disarming procedure. Press CLEAR. Areas stay armed. When an area is disarmed, its LED turns off.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THERE IS AN ALARM

When there is an alarm, the LED of the area in alarm flashes red on the keypad. The message There are no alarms in this area is no longer displayed. If it is a local alarm, the message Local Alarm is shown. An area can have many zones associated with it. When there is an alarm, it is important that you know exactly which zone is causing the problem so that you can quickly deal with it. What happens when there is an alarm: There are different types of alarm and they occur under different situations. Local alarm - This occurs when the area is occupied (that is, disarmed). The alarm is only heard inside the premises and is dealt with locally. The area LED on keypad flashes (depending on how it has been programmed). The control panel emits a discontinous tone until someone acknowledges the alarm at the keypad. The message on the display says Local Alarm. It occurs when a zone programmed as fire door has been activated. The central station does not need to be contacted. Alarm - The exact type of alarm signal depends on how the system has been programmed (flashing lights, sirens,...). The LED on the keypad flashes quickly. Can occur 24 hrs a day depending on the programming, e.g. a door is forced open while the area is armed. When programmed, the alarm will be send to the central station.

You can now choose between these different options:

Continued overleaf... 16 ATS Users Manual

Fix the problem (e.g. close the fire door).

- Display the complete zone name - Lets you see the complete name of the zone in alarm. You then know the exact location of the zone in the area. Enter the zone number and press ENTER.

- Acknowledge the local alarm - Lets you stop the sirens and reset the alarm. All zones in local alarm have A (=Alarm) in front of the zone number. Press 0 and ENTER. You can only acknowledge one zone at a time.

The display depends on how the system has been programmed. The zones are listed: - one at a time, or - as a list of numbers.

Press ENTER twice to determine the location of the alarm. The zones causing the alarm(s) are then listed.

The LED associated with the area in alarm flashes red. The message Local Alarm is displayed.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THERE IS AN ALARM (continued)

System alarm - This alarm can occur at any time. The exact type of alarm signal depends on how the system has been programmed (flashing lights, sirens,...). It occurs when the security equipment (such as the panel ) has been tampered with, or detects a fault. You can only reset a system alarm if your PIN code has been authorised to do so. When programmed, the central station is contacted automatically by the system. Who to contact when an alarm occurs: Contact the manager of your security system when an alarm occurs. Problems that can occur: There is a faulty zone - This will continue to cause an alarm until it is inhibited from the system (see page 10). As soon as you inhibit the faulty zone, the alarm is reset automatically. Your PIN code does not work when you try to reset an alarm- there are two possible reasons: - You can only reset an alarm for an area if your PIN code is assigned to it. If it is not and you try to reset an alarm, you might arm/disarm the area instead. - You cannot reset a system alarm unless your PIN code is authorised to do so.

An area LED on the panel flashes to show in which area the alarm is located.

PIN code not programmed to display areas

All programmed armed areas are disarmed automatically. PIN code programmed to display areas You can do one of four options: 1. Display more areas lets you display the next armed area in the list. Select the area you want to disarm as explained below (option 3) or press NEXT again. When finished, press ENTER. 2. Disarm all areas - lets you disarm all areas at once. Press the 0 button and then ENTER.

The LED stops flashing. The area is now disarmed. Fix the problem (e.g. close the door)

3. Disarm individual areas- lets you disarm selected area(s) one at a time. Enter the area number and press ENTER for each area you want to disarm. When finished, press ENTER again. 4. Exit Press CLEAR. Areas stay armed.

What happens next depends on how your PIN code has been programmed:

Press OFF.

GLOSSARY
Active zone (open) Area The device on the zone is activated, for example the door is opened. The section of a premises with its own security requirements. There can be several areas in a premises, such as the meeting room, office, and store room. The security system is switched on. A security company that monitors whether an alarm has occurred. It is located away from the premises/areas it monitors. This is the brain of the system. It monitors all zones and determines how they will respond. The security system is switched off. The tamper, duress, hold up, panic and fire zones are still operational. A list of recent alarm events that are stored in memory. It is displayed on the LCD display of the keypad. The zone is temporarily disconnected from part of the security system. The messages are displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display of the keypad connected to the control panel. A Light Emitting Diode is a light on the control panel that indicates a condition, such as normal status or an alarm. It is green (normal), orange (fault), or red (armed/alarm) depending on the condition. The device on the zone is not activated, for example the door is closed. The Personnel Identification Number that lets you arm and disarm the system as well as giving access to other functions (if allowed). It is a 4 to 10 digit number used to enter the security system via the keypad before most functions can be carried out. Each user has a unique PIN code. Passive infra red motion detection unit. A tamper is a safeguard against the zones or control panel being interfered with or broken, such as a cable being cut. When such a situation is detected, an alarm is activated. A zone is connected to devices, such as a magnetic contact or PIR device, that can generate an alarm. Each zone has its own number and associated name, such as: 6 Entrance.
