Introduction The FLEX is a programmable alarm control panel that enables you to protect your home or business by providing secure and reliable intruder detection. The system can be fully tailored by your installer to operate in the most convenient way for your lifestyle or working practice.
Controlling your alarm system Users Each person who uses the system is described as a User and has a unique identity in the form of a PIN code, prox tag or wireless keyfob, or a combination of all three. You can assign different access levels to users so that they can control specific alarm system functions.
Keypad Your system will have at least one Mk8 keypad. Mk8 LCD keypad The number buttons are for entering PIN codes and for changing options. The function keys down the side have the following use: To scroll forward in a list or menu and activate a FULL set. A►...
Prox tags and cards Prox tags and cards are devices that contain a microchip that has a unique serial number. This number is read and identified by the system when you hold the tag or card in front of a prox reader. Prox tags and cards enable you to set and unset the system only.
Set the system – full set To set the system, make sure all doors are closed and windows are secure. The system cannot be set if there has previously been an alarm that has not been reset. To set the entire system: 1.

Cancel an alarm The process for cancelling an alarm is similar to unsetting the system. However, if a wireless keyfob or prox tag has been used, you can only view alarms on a keypad by typing in your user code and following the onscreen instructions. Only certain users are able to reset the system following an alarm condition.
Set and unset groups It is possible to split the alarm system into separate areas or groups that can be set and unset independently. Users can be assigned: access to any combination of groups, the option to set and unset all their groups together, or the option to choose individual groups to set and unset.
