4.0 The PowerSeries Neo Security System
Your PowerSeries Neo has been designed to provide you with the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. Read this manual

tem. All users of this system should be equally instructed in its use. Fill out section "System Information" with all of your zone

4.1 General System Operation
Your security system is made up of a PowerSeries Neo control panel, one or more keypads and various sensors and detectors. The
control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility closet or in a basement. The metal cabinet contains the system electronics,
fuses and standby battery.
All the keypads have an audible indicator and command entry keys. LED keypads have a group of zone and system status lights.
LCD keypads have an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to dis-
play the current system status. The keypad(s) will be mounted in a convenient location inside the protected premises close to the
entry/exit door(s). The security system has several zones of area protection and each of these zones is connected to one or more
sensors (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts, etc.). A sensor in alarm is indicated by the corresponding zone lights
flashing on an LED keypad or by messages on the LCD keypad.
Note: Only the installer or service professional shall have access to the control panel.

4.5 Monitoring
This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles and emergency information. If you initiate an alarm by mistake, imme-
diately call the central station to prevent an unnecessary response.
Note: The monitoring function must be enabled by the installer before it can become functional.
Note: Consult with your installer to determine if your system is configured with a communicator delay. A communicator delay will
prevent a report to the central station if the control panel is unset within 30-45 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. Note
that fire-type alarms are normally reported without a delay.
Note: Ensure that your installer verifies that your system is compatible with the Central Station Receiver format at yearly inter-
vals.
4.6 Maintenance

Do not wash the security equipment with a wet cloth. Light dusting with a slightly moistened cloth should remove normal
l
