STEP 6: POWER UP THE PANEL

Connect the backup battery and restore AC power to the panel.
For the SEM to interact with the existing zones on the system, it must
read them from the PowerSeries panel. The SEM will do a "zone scan" to
read this information.
The zone scan will automatically begin within one minute after the panel
is powered up and should take between 5 and 15 minutes, depending
on the number of partitions and zones on the system. Do not touch the
panel, keypad, or SEM at this time.
The zone scan is complete when the green and yellow lights on the
keypad remain solid. If you press any buttons on the keypad during the
zone scan, the message "system unavailable" will display on the screen.
The date and time will show on the screen when the zone scan
is complete.

STEP 7: BROADCAST SENSOR NAMES

For the SEM to be able to read the sensor names stored on the panel and
display them on Alarm.com, you must broadcast the sensor names stored
on the keypads. This should be done for every install with an LCD keypad
and is necessary even if there is only one keypad on the system.
ZONE SCAN
