Introduction to the IDS X-Series Alarm Panel
1.
Congratulations on your purchase of an IDS Alarm Panel to protect your most valued possessions.
The IDS X-series is a versatile and expandable range of alarm panels with 8 partitions and can be expanded to
monitor up to 64 zones depending on the model. Most features are optional and may be programmed directly
through the keypad. There is a dedicated panic zone, monitored siren output, auxiliary power outputs and 5
(expandable to 57) programmable outputs that may be programmed to perform various trigger/switching
functions. These can all be programmed by your installer.
For correct operation, these Alarm Panels must be used in conjunction with the specified transformer/battery
combination and appropriate peripheral sensors and signalling devices.
B e fore Operating Y our Alar m Sys te m
Read the entire manual carefully and keep it in an accessible place.
Note that this is not a DIY product, and your security system should be installed and serviced by a
qualified security professional who should instruct you regarding the level of protection provided and
the operation of the system.
Should you have any questions regarding the operation of the system, contact your installer.
Note that your system should be tested on a regular basis. Before testing the system, please notify your
security company of your intention to do so.
NEVER disconnect the mains power, as the back-up battery will eventually discharge thereby causing
the control panel to shut down.
Note that a security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and (if
applicable) your central monitoring station, of an emergency situation.
Note that smoke and heat detectors may not detect all fire situations.
This manual is not a fully detailed installation manual – the installation manual is only available to
accredited installers.
Note that the performance of your alarm system will to a large extent be determined by the quality and
installation of the detectors attached to your panel.
