2.0 General System Operation

Your security system comprises an integrated alarm control/panel and various sensors and detectors.
The panel is mounted by the main entry/exit location. The system is self-contained; electronics and
standby battery are housed within the unit.
Note: Ensure that only the installer or a service professional has access to the system.
The security system has several zones of area protection. Each of these zones communicates to one
or more wireless sensors, such as motion detectors, glass break detectors, door contacts, etc. A
sensor in alarm is indicated by messages on the IoTega mobile phone user application.
Additional features include Automatic Inhibit (Swinger Shutdown) for alarm, Tamper and Trouble
signals after three occurrences in a given set period, and a programmable Keypad Lockout option.
For SIA CP-01 classified installations, the swinger shutdown feature is programmed such that one
or two trips shuts down the zone. The zone is restored after a manual reset by entering the access
code at the time of disarming the alarm system, or it is reset automatically after 48 hours with no
trips on any zones.
Note: The mobile phone user application feature was not evaluated by UL/ULC.

2.1 Integrated Keypad

The IoTega system includes a capacitive touch integrated keypad with 16 keys: numbers 0 thru 9, *,
#, Fire, Auxiliary, Panic (FAP), and shift (up arrow).
In normal operation, the keypad remains dim when not in use. When a user is in close proximity, the
number keys illuminate.
Note: The FAP keys do not illuminate unless the shift key is tapped. See the Emergency Keys sec-
tion for more information.
Note: The keypad can only be used for arming, disarming, and the local FAP. The same functions
are available when switching between partitions.

The IoTega system includes a series of illuminated point source status indicators. There is a min-
imum of seven indicators:
