Start Screen When no user is logged in, the start screen is displayed. Press Info to view important information, for example the phone number to the associated control center. In case of alarm, the internal buzzer in the control panel will sound. Press Silent to stop the buzzer (this only stops the sound, not the alarm!).
Login Login to the control panel by entering your personal user code (4-8 characters) and finish with the Enter key. Login with threat (duress) alert to the control center. If you are threatened to log in, you can covertly send an alarm to the associated con- trol center.
Main Menu Whenever a user logs in, the main screen is displayed. The main menu is divided into seven sub menus, however some menus only appear when they are relevant (fx the menu “Alarms” is only shown when an alarm is triggered). Use the scroll keys to circle through the menus.
Alarm Menu The alarm menu is activated whenever an alarm is triggered from any active detector in the system. In this menu detailed alarm information can be requested and alarms can be acknowledged. The information display shows the total number of active (not acknowledged) alarms in the top row of the display.
Warnings Menu This menu shows system warnings. A system warning can be a system problem, which has a very low priority (e.g. AC loss - up to 30 minutes). You are not able to acknowledge a warning, the warning will be automatically acknowledged once the problem is resolved (e.g. by restoring AC).
Area Menu In the area menu the defined areas are set to armed and disarmed or any other status available. The numbers in the top line of the display mark which area out of the total number of areas is currently shown. In the example below area 1 “entry hall” out of a total number of 8 areas is shown.

Access time If the area is associated with an access time, users (with sufficient rights) have the option of changing the day’s access time / closing time. This will cause no change in general, only in regards to today’s closing time and thus the time of the automatic arming or lockout.
Logs Menu In the logs menu you can see the systems alarmlog, userlog and servicelog. • Alarmlog: logs alarms and alarm acknowledgements • Userlog: logs the users area settings • Servicelog: logs information needed for service personnel • All logs: all logs together The logging screen shows one log entry at the time.
User Menu The user menu allows you to modify existing user access codes, and to delete and create user codes. Most of the functions in this menu are restricted to users with complete access rights – e.g. the owner of the system. User creation and editing is easier, quicker and more manageable through the NOX PC operating software.
Time Profile Menu The time profile menu allows you to change existing time profiles, define new special days and delete existing special days. The creation and editing of time profiles is easier, quicker and more manageable through the NOX PC operating software. Read more about creating time profiles both via the control panel and the PC operat- ing software in the NOX user manual.
Service Menu The service menu is only needed by service personnel to troubleshoot and to check the system parameters. It is not accessible for normal users. There are 4 service levels in which the system can be set. • Level 0: Normal system operation •...
