1. INTRODUCTION Each Lifeline 400 is supplied with an ‘Installation and User Guide’. Please ensure you are familiar with this prior to reading this guide. This programming guide contains guidelines and examples of how to program the Lifeline 400 for use in most situations.
2. PROGRAMMING OPTIONS This section focuses on two methods for programming the Lifeline 400. However, the Lifeline 400 can also be programmed from a control centre and from a PC or laptop using the TAPIT ( described in the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’...

The unit identity is the unique number that identifies an individual Lifeline 400 when it makes a call to a control centre. Lifeline 400 units have a default of 995 which should be changed before installation. A maximum of 12 digits can be used for the unit identity.
Page 7
Assigning Radio Sensors Assignment of radio sensors was described on page 3 earlier in this guide. When a sensor is assigned, the Lifeline 400 detects the sensor type and automatically amends its settings - this is a new feature of Lifeline 400.
4. OTHER TASKS Monitoring for Inactivity The Lifeline 400 can monitor for signs of activity using sensors such as PIR movement sensors. Should no activity be found for a specified time ( 12 or 24 hrs ) then an alarm call is raised. The user will hear 10 minutes of warning beeps before this call is made.
Page 9
Silent Calls By default, periodic calls and other information calls are silent, this means that no noise will be heard from the Lifeline 400 during the call. An example of this is automatically reporting that a radio sensor’s battery is low.

should always be programmed in parameter 63, the third into parameter 65 and the forth into parameter 67 etc. Therefore, (after removing all sensors from the unit) to register a smoke detector as the first sensor and assign it to the living room, the procedure below should be followed:- 1.

The intruder functionality is very flexible with a number of operational options. This section of the programming guide contains guidelines and examples of how to program the Lifeline 400 for each of these options starting with the default option as follows: Ø Single Zone Dwelling Ø...

To enable the Intruder Functionality simply input a 4 digit number known as a’ quick code’. A ‘quick code’ is a convenient and quick way to alter settings in the Lifeline 400. To activate the intruder functionality in the Lifeline 400 enter the following quick code:-...

Once all the PIR’s are assigned they can then be installed in the correct locations. Take the first PIR you would like to assign to the Lifeline 400 out of its box and then referring to the user guide for the PIR, put the PIR into “walk test” mode.
Page 16
Entry/Exit PIR’s. More than one entry Exit PIR can be assigned to the unit. If the Entry/Exit PIR is activated the Lifeline 400 will emit entry and exit tones for 30 seconds during which time the system can be disarmed without activating the intruder alarm or the occupant can leave the dwelling without activating a false alarm call.
Page 17
Whilst still in local programming mode: Press the AWAY key on the Lifeline 400 unit then enter the location code as below. If the PIR is chosen to be a standard PIR (not Entry/Exit PIR) then DO NOT press the AWAY key before entering the location code.

Leave the PIR in walk test mode but put the front cover back on loosely until testing is complete. Testing the recently installed PIR’s Once registered to the Lifeline 400 it is a good idea to test the PIR’s with the Lifeline 400 in local programming mode. Place the unit in LOCAL PROGRAMMING mode ♫...

Taking the PIR out of walk test mode significantly enhances its battery life. Exit local programming mode by pressing the cancel key. The PIR’s are now assigned to the Lifeline 400 and ready to work with the intruder system. Note: The Lifeline 400 will automatically Exit programming mode if untouched for 3-4 minutes.

The ability to use the PIN number for deactivation is already set up in the Lifeline 400. The default PIN number is 1234 and it is recommend that this should be changed now and kept in a safe place.

Lifeline 400. As you have entered the dwelling within that period the PIR will not activate and send a signal to the Lifeline 400 unit. As the Lifeline 400 unit has not received a signal from the Entry/Exit PIR the Entry/Exit tones will not beep and the intruder system will still be armed and the AWAY key will be lit as a reminder.

Hardwired Input The Lifeline 400 has one hardwired input. To configure this input requires 16 digits to be entered for its meaning. For convenience, some digits have been shaded out as they are not relevant in these examples, however they do still need inputting and are fully explained in the ‘Frequently Asked Questions’...
Page 26
The Lifeline 400 is fitted with a rechargeable battery to ensure that if mains power fails the unit will continue to operate for at least 30 hours. When the Lifeline 400 is first installed, the battery will take 24 hours to become fully charged.
5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the TAPIT+? The TAPIT+ is a product designed to program the Lifeline 400, Lifeline 4000 and Lifeline 4000+ units from a PC or Laptop. It provides a simple graphical way of programming units. Below is a list of common TAPIT uses:- Common uses:- •...

How many times does the Lifeline 400 attempt to make an alarm call if it is unanswered? By default the Lifeline 400 will attempt to call each alarm number up to 3 times before moving onto the next alarm number. Therefore if 2 control centre numbers have been entered, the first number will be attempted 3 times before calling the second number.
Page 29
If required up to 10 different call sequences can be created. Example: 2 users share one Lifeline 400. They both have a personal trigger, we require that if (1) the first user raises an alarm with their personal trigger then a call is made to their son, followed by a call to the control centre if the first call is unanswered.
Page 30
If the Lifeline 400 cannot get through to a control centre immediately it will pause and try again after set periods. It will also try alternative numbers if they are programmed into the unit.
Page 31
What do all the other numbers mean when configuring hardwired input? 0 0 0 Type Normally Location Not used Delay Silence Not used Closed This determines whether the input resets the inactivity monitor. Also whether the input can answer and clear an incoming call. 0 = Do nothing 3 = Reset inactivity monitor but do not answer calls 6 = Answer and clear incoming calls but do reset the inactivity monitor...
