INTRODUCTION Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to introduce the user to the AlphaVision ML burglary alarm system. The manual explains about controlling and dealing with the control panel. Several of the special options explained in this manual can only be executed by the main user.
Zones and sections of the AlphaVision ML control panel The AlphaVision ML control panel has 12 wired inputs and can be expanded to up to a maximum of 100 wired zones. Also 32 wireless zones can be used, these replace hardware zones. Each zone is programmed into the control panel and provides information about a certain event in a certain area of the house or building.

A keyswitch input is used in situations when an external keyswitch or device is used to arm and disarm the system. A keyswitch or external device can only be used for Total arming and disarming. AlphaVision ML User manual Rev. 2.60 – 01-01-2015...
The navigator keys are used for easy Partial arming, Total arming, disarming and for navigating through the user menu. When using an LCD keypad, the AlphaVision ML is armed and disarmed with a 6-digit PIN code. The LCD/Proximity keypad has an integrated proximity reader for arming/disarming with a coded tag, known as a proximity tag.
Meaning of the LED’s of the keypad In idle state the top line of the display shows the House Identity (default ALPHAVISION ML). Your installer can program the system to show the family name or company name. The second line displays the date (European style Day-Month-Year) and time (Hours:Minutes).
The AlphaVision ML can be armed and disarmed with a duress code. The duress code is used when the user is forced under threat to disarm the system and can only be used with PIN-codes (not with proximity keys).
Arming and disarming with a proximity tag When the AlphaVision ML control panel is installed with an LCD/Proximity keypad, the system can be armed and disarmed with a proximity tag. The proximity reader is integrated in the keypad and is located right above the microphone hole, at the bottom of the keypad.
The AlphaVision ML control panel is normally armed by entering a valid user code and depending on the code level, by pressing <*> or <#>. Besides this way, the AlphaVision ML can also has two quick arming keys for Total and Partial arming. Your installer can program which sections are armed with Partial and which sections are armed with Total arming.
