This section describes the operation of a
typical control panel installation. Keep in
mind that your installation may vary depend-
ing on the selected options and equipment.
The operating i n s t ructions which follow will
endeavour to cover the most common options.
Consult your installation company if you
require further information.
All control panel operations are controlled
by the D8 keypad except if an optional key
switch or radio contro l equipment is
installed.

Generally, the panel will be Disarmed. Armed
or Monitor modes provide different levels of
security for your premises for when you are
home or away. Three other temporary modes
Program, Memory and Exclude, allow you to
perform various operations. The panel will
automatically exit from these temporary
modes if you do not press any buttons on the
keypad in a 4 minute period.
If you make a mistake while entering any
codes, press the enter button and start
again.
When you are required to enter your access
code, you are given five opportunities to
enter it correctly. After the fifth invalid
attempt the a l a rm is activated (requiring the
c o rre c t code to silence the alarm). This pre-
v e n t s anyone trying to guess your code by
entering random numbers.

The D8 control panel allows for the 8 zones
to be split into two groups known as area 1
and area 2.The two areas can be assigned
access codes so that a user may have
access either of the areas or both areas.
This allows for people to have access to one
part of your premises while the other part
remains armed.
This is known as area operation. Arming and
disarming is carried out as normal. You may
have keypads installed in each area and set
up by your installer so that the armed light
indicates the armed state for that area only.
N O T E : All zones which are active in the
armed mode always exist in one or both
areas, eg. even if you do not require your
8 zones to be split, all 8 zones will be
programmed to operate in area 1.
