WisDom Architecture Your WisDom controls and monitors a variety of sensors, detectors, and contacts placed throughout the premises, which provide external, perimeter and interior burglary protection. The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each sensor to detect problems. If the panel detects trouble it will notify you with beeps and indicator lights on the panel itself.
♦ If your system is equipped with RISCO Group's GSM module it can provide information about the system by SMS and enable to operate the system using SMS commands for setting and unsetting the system and more.
Voice Messaging Three types of spoken messages are heard when using the WisDom, locally in the premises or remotely to your mobile: ♦ Event messages: Upon event occurrence, the WisDom initiates a call to a remote Follow Me (FM) telephone number, informing you of a security situation by playing a pre-recorded Event announcement message.
LED Indicators The six LED indicators found at the upper left provide typical system indications, as discussed below. Some indicators have additional functions, which are explained later on. Power LED The Power LED indicates system operation. Condition Description The system is operating properly from commercial (AC) power and its backup battery is in good condition.
Ready LED The Ready LED indicates whether or not the system's intrusion zones are secured and ready to be armed. Condition Description All intrusion zones are secure; the system is ready to be armed. One or more intrusion zones are not secure, and the system is not ready to be armed.
Trouble LED The Trouble LED indicates troubles in the system. Condition Description RAPID FLASH There is at least one trouble in the system. No troubles in the system. NOTE: If a trouble condition exists, the Trouble LED will flash only when the system is in disarmed state.
Control Keys The functions of the control keys vary according to the mode being used. The following table lists the functions of the keys in Normal Operation mode and when using the User Functions menu: Normal Operation User Functions Activates the User Exits from the current menu Functions mode.
Emergency Keys The WisDom has three dedicated sets of emergency keys. Each set of keys must be pressed simultaneously for at least 2 seconds in order to be activated. The following table describes the Emergency keys and their optional corresponding messages. The system sounds that results during these emergency alarms are described in Appendix B, on page 57.

Chapter 3: Local Arming and Disarming of the System Arming Arming your system causes the intrusion detectors to trigger an alarm when violated. The arming operation will be followed by a local message announcement (If defined). You can arm your system by code arming, in which you need to use your user code, or you can use quick arming (without using a code) NOTE: If during code arming you enter a wrong user code, the keypad produces...
Away Arming Away arming prepares all of the system's intrusion detectors to activate an alarm if violated, and is used when leaving the premises. To away arm: 1) Check the Ready LED and make sure that the system is ready to be armed. Enter your user code and press .
Stay Arming Stay arming activates only perimeter detectors (as defined by your installer), enabling individuals to remain inside and move about the premises while the system is partially armed. To Stay arm: Check that the system is ready for Stay arming. Enter your user code and press .
Partition Arming One of the WisDom’s advantages is its ability to divide the system to up to 3 partitions. Each partition may be viewed as a separate security system, each of which can be armed and disarmed individually regardless of the condition of the other. Partitions can be armed/disarmed one at a time, or all at once, and each partition can be armed at Stay or Away.
