About your Alarm System
NOTES
Thank you for choosing to protect your premises with an 'PowerWave-
8' (PW8). In doing so you have invested in the most advanced and
adaptable panel on the market.
As you become familiar with your PW-8, *ask your installer about the
incredible program options and additional expandability of your PW-8 Alarm
Controller.
Your new panel is ready to give you years of trouble free operation and can
be custom programmed to your specific needs.
Add on features like the RX-40 wireless receiver card to operate any of the
4 outputs and the arm / disarm of your panel with up to 8 key fob wireless
pendants, or add wireless detectors at any stage.
The auto dialler on your panel can be set up to send high speed signals to a
monitoring station and / or "domestic dial" sending an Alarm tone to any or
all of the 4 possible phone numbers
The Keypad
Your PW-8 Alarm Controller has been designed with you in mind. Clearly
named backlit keys may cost a little more but mean you don't have to
remember multiple key combinations to achieve a result. As with everything
about the PW-8, even key functions can be fine tuned to your specific
needs. Please ask your installer.
Arming Your System
Press the [ARM] to arm your system, the Armed light will come on. Your
panel will begin beeping it's exit delay. During this time it is optional to press
the [ARM] key again to disarm. (to prevent accidental arming, the panel can
be programmed to require a code to arm. To do so enter your code followed
by the [ENTER] key).
Disarming
Enter your 1 to 6 digit code then press the [ENTER] key.
If your system has the wireless receiver installed, your system can also be
armed or disarmed with your remote key fob pendant.
Panic
This special key's function is best programmed by your installer to suit your
individual situation. Most commonly it is used in a panic situation to sound
only the outside siren and perhaps call a monitoring station. A panic
command can be instant or your installer can program a 2 second delay to
prevent false alarms.
(A Panic can also be triggered by a dedicated 'Stay' Mode Keypad or a
Remote Control button programmed as instant or delayed panic).
