Introduction Meet the Ultra Alarm Control System Thank you for choosing to protect your premises with a Ultra-8/16 of Australian Security Supplies & ADC. Ultra Alarm panel of Australian Security Supplies is a highly advanced, multifunction Wireless alarm control system, designed to flawlessly manage your security system at home or at business, protects you against burglary and supports the operation of electronic devices.
Keypad Description The LCD Keypad shows all the information required to operate the system. The User communicates with the alarm system via the keypad. The Keypad displays continuous information about the status of the alarm system, and enables the User to operate the system in different modes, change settings and program Users' access codes.
KEYPAD TAMPER (wrong code alarm) A wrong code or Keypad Tamper alarm is generated by the Ultra-8/16 after 4 consecutive invalid code entries. The controller will not “Lock-Out” the keypad at this point but simply create an alarm condition that may be reported to a monitoring company via the dialler.
Display The LCD window holds 2 rows of 16 characters each. The display shows: • System Messages • Open Zones • System Status • Trouble Messages • Memory Events • Description of zones • Zone numbers during programming • Device numbers during control Summary of Functions Function Keys...
