The continuous flashing of the blue LED on a Risco motion detector wired to a LightSYS2 system indicates that the detector is communicating with the panel. This flashing can occur even when there is no motion, as it represents communication activity, not motion detection.

Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of RISCO Group's LightSYS2 Security System. The LightSYS2 has been specifically designed to meet a wide range of security needs for residential and commercial applications. LightSYS2 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 LightSYS2 Architecture Your LightSYS2 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 a fault is detected, you are notified both with panel beeps and indicator lights as well as remote messaging.
Mastering Your System User Operating Tools LightSYS2 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.
Page 15
PIN code. Smartphone Operations: Homeowners can now enjoy the iRISCO Smartphone App for smart and easy control of their LightSYS2 system. The app enables users to set/unset the system on-the-go, activate home automation devices, omit detectors, view the system’s status and history, and much more.
Mastering Your System SMS: If your system is equipped with RISCO Group's GSM/GPRS module it can provide information about the system by SMS and enable operation of the system using SMS commands for setting the system, unsetting the system and more.
(see page 36) Notes: Voice messaging requires using the LightSYS2 voice module. This module also enables the LightSYS2 to announce various local messages to residents. SMS messaging requires the use of the LightSYS2 GSM/GPRS module.
Mastering Your System System Tones In addition to the visual indications provided by your keypad(s), your system is designed to produce audible annunciation after certain events. Depending on the circumstance, such sounds may be made by your system's keypad(s) or sounders (for example, a sounder or bell).
Page 19
Mastering Your System Notes: Based on decisions made at the time your alarm system installation, keypads may beep during this type of alarm. Keypad beeps may be disabled at the user's discretion, see Buzzer On/Off, page 44. Press for two seconds to stop the fault beeps Any intrusion zone, if selected for the chime feature, will, when violated during the unset period, cause the keypad to annunciate the event.
As a user of your security system, you'll mostly be concerned with the keypad. The LightSYS2 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 set and unset the system, omit intrusion zones, report emergencies, and more, as described in the subsequent chapters of this manual.

If defined by your engineer, it might be required that all faults in the system should be confirmed to enable the setting operation. Your LightSYS2 supports the following kinds of setting: Full Setting Full setting ( prepares all of the system's intrusion detectors to activate an alarm if violated, and is used when leaving the premises.
Partition Setting A key LightSYS2 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, set and unset...

Enter your user code, then the group letter ( then the partition number, and the group letter again For example, to set group C, enter: [Code] [ for two seconds] [Partition No] [...
The unsetting operation will be followed by a local message announcement (if defined). LightSYS2 unsetting varieties include the following: Full Unsetting If outside the premises, open an "entry" door. The keypad(s) beeps, indicating that the entry delay time period has begun.
Setting and Unsetting Unsetting after an Alarm If an alarm has occurred, it will be indicated by the keypad. Once the cause of the alarm has been established the system must be reset. To unset the system after an alarm: If outside the premises, open an "entry"...
Setting and Unsetting Important: If the alarm was caused by a tripped smoke detector(s), the keypad's Fire ( ) indicator will remain lit, providing an indication that the fire system must be reset before it will be capable of detecting subsequent infractions. Furthermore, until it is reset, you will be prevented from setting your system.
Setting and Unsetting To locally (from the keypad) or remotely reset your system (by your ARC or engineer) Code Activities Config SW CS Connect Press Via GPRS/IP? [if both GPRS and IP are available, you must select which]. Press to confirm Done is displayed.
Additional Set/Unset Capabilities Automatic Set/Unset The LightSYS2 has the ability to define automatic system setting at a predefined time of a day. An Set/Unset program automatically sets and unsets the system during your required time intervals. When defining the automatic setting/unsetting program, you need to define the following parameters: Partition, Setting Mode (Full/Partial), Time, and Label.
User Codes To perform many of the LightSYS2 functions, a security code (often called a user code) must be input. LightSYS2 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 engineer or the grand master. Notes: Your LightSYS2 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.
