BLOCKING / DISABLING THE SYSTEM
BLOCKING / DISABLING DETECTORS
A detector can be temporarily disabled in a similar way that a user can be blocked. A detector is disabled
when its activation is temporarily not desirable (for example a motion detector in a room with a pet or
temporarily disabling the alarm siren).
Only the system administrator or service technician can disable a detector. One method of disabling
a detector is by choosing Settings Devices Bypass and selecting Yes on the LCD keypad. Another
option is to locally or remotely disable a detector through the J-Link program by clicking on the detector in
the Settings Diagnostics Disabled column.
A blocked (disabled) detector is marked with a yellow (or red) circle until it is turned back on using the
same procedure.
DISABLING SECTIONS
To shut off a part of the system temporarily, individual sections can be disabled. Disabled sections cannot
be set (e.g. to disable surveillance in part of a building under construction).
A section can be disabled locally or remotely through the J-Link program by clicking on the section in
the Settings Section Section disabled column. A disabled section is marked with a red circle until it is
turned back on using the same procedure.
DISABLING TIMERS
To temporarily disable automated scheduled events in the system, the timer can be turned off.
Disabling a scheduled event (e.g. unsetting the system from the night guarding at a predetermined time)
stops the execution of that event (e.g. while on vacation).
A timer can be turned off locally or remotely through the J-Link program by clicking on the section in the
Settings Calendar Blocked column. A disabled timer is marked with a red circle until it is turned back
on using the same procedure.
CUSTOMIZING THE SYSTEM
CHANGING USER ACCESS CODE
If the system is set up with prefi xed codes, the user can change his code from the LCD menu on the
keypad. The code can be changed on the LCD keypad after authorization by selecting Settings Users
User Code. To input a new code you must enter into edit mode (the code will start to fl ash) by pressing
Enter, enter the new code and confi rm by pressing Enter again. After completing the changes they must be
confi rmed by choosing Save when the system prompts Save Settings?
If the system is set up without prefi xed codes, only the system administrator can change the security
codes. The system administrator can make changes from both the LCD keypad menu and J-Link.
