To reset the Risco LIGHTSYS master unit after a tamper error, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the tamper issue is physically resolved (e.g., close the cover properly if it was opened). 2. If DIP switch 2 was used to bypass tampers during installation, set it back to the "OFF" position. 3. Enter the installer code (default is 1111) on the keypad. 4. Navigate to the system settings and acknowledge any tamper alerts. 5. Exit programming mode and save the settings. 6. If the tamper alert persists, power cycle the system by turning it off and on.
These steps should reset the tamper error on the LIGHTSYS unit.

Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of RISCO Group's LightSYS Security System. The LightSYS has been specifically designed to meet a wide range of security needs for residential and commercial applications. LightSYS is designed to recognize abnormal conditions and inform the system of the status of any protected door, window, hallway, room, or area.
Mastering Your System LightSYS Architecture Your LightSYS controls and monitors a variety of sensors, detectors, and contacts placed throughout the premises, which provide external, perimeter and internal burglary protection. The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each sensor to detect problems. If trouble is detected, you are notified both with panel beeps and indicator lights as well as remote messaging.
Mastering Your System User Operating Tools LightSYS can easily be managed locally or remotely depending on your system configuration. You can issue commands to the system and in turn, the system will communicate information to you via its display, indicators, voice messages, SMS messages, Email messages and by the sounds it makes.
The definition of the telephone number or Email address for each destination is defined by the grand master (see page 31) Notes: Voice messaging requires using the LightSYS voice module. This module also enables the LightSYS to announce various local messages to residents. SMS messaging requires the use of the LightSYS GSM/GPRS module.
Mastering Your System Keypad Indication The LightSYS LCD keypad is the primary system interface and reports its status via its LCD icons, as described below. Keypad LCD Icons System is operating properly from AC power, its backup battery is in good condition and there are no troubles in the system.
Arming or No Sound System is armed: 1 chirp 1 chirp Disarming System is disarmed: 2 chirps (Keyfob) Disarm after alarm: 4 chirps (Keyfob) A one-second tone, if Confirm No sound No sound completed correctly Operation LightSYS User Manual Page 10...

As a user of your security system, you'll mostly be concerned with the keypad. The LightSYS LCD keypad is the primary system interface. Each keypad in your system reports its status via its LCD icons, as described below. Through its keys, you can enter commands to arm and disarm the system, bypass intrusion zones, report emergencies, and more, as described in the subsequent chapters of this manual.
If defined by your installer, it might be required that all troubles in the system should be confirmed to enable the arming operation. Your LightSYS supports the following kinds of arming: Away (Full) arming Away arming ( prepares all of the system's intrusion detectors to activate an alarm if violated, and is used when leaving the premises.
Partition arming A key LightSYS advantage is its ability to divide the system into up-to-four partitions. Each partition can be managed as a separate security sub-system, that is, armed and disarmed...

The disarming operation will be followed by a local message announcement (if defined). LightSYS disarming varieties include the following: Full Disarming If outside the premises, open an "entry" door. The keypad(s) beeps, indicating that the entry delay time period has begun.
In special cases (if programmed by your installer) arming the system after an alarm might require a technician code. On the LCD, a Not ready - technician reset message may appear. For more information, consult with your installer. Page 19 LightSYS User Manual...

Additional Arm/Disarm Capabilities Automatic Arm/Disarm The LightSYS has the ability to define automatic system arming at a predefined time of a day. An Arm/Disarm program automatically arms and disarms the system during your required time intervals. When defining the automatic arming/disarming program, you need to define the following parameters: Partition, Arming Mode (Away/Stay), Time, and Label.
Arming and Disarming Remote Arm/Disarm Using a Phone If your LightSYS is equipped with the voice module you can perform arming/disarming operations and operate the system from a remote touch-tone phone by initiating a telephone call to or from the system and interacting with voice menus that guide you through your required remote operation.
System programming also determines whether these emergency alarms are audible and/or capable of being communicated to the monitoring station. LightSYS User Manual Page 24...
User Codes To perform many of the LightSYS functions, a security code (often called a user code) must be input. LightSYS can support up to 16 different user codes. User codes may have variable lengths of up to six digits.
This code can be changed by the installer or the grand master. Notes: Your LightSYS was given a grand master code of 1-2-3-4 during manufacturing. RISCO advises that you modify this code to one that is unique and personalized as herein described, unless your alarm company has already done so.
Select the user index number and press Select Edit Code and press Note: In the LightSYS system, the User Index number range is from 00 to 15. (00=Grand master) Enter the new code followed by If successful, a single confirmation beep is sounded; if not, three quick error beeps are...
