Page 2 The Cardio home automation system enables homeowners to better manage such basic functions as heating/air conditioning, security, lighting and appliance control. Through the automation of some of these functions, Cardio also ensures a higher degree of comfort and peace of mind. Additionally, the efficient management of heating/air conditioning and lighting brings tangible savings.
Page 3 Direct control and access to programming Cardio’s screen shuts down after being idle for one minute. It is easy to reactivate by pressing anywhere on it and the basic screen as shown below will then appear. Besides giving information such as date and time as well as operating status (current temperature, security, etc.), this particular screen enables the user to directly control all of the basic functions that Cardio manages.
Page 4 Lighting Control groups of lights linked to Cardio (ON/OFF, dim). Each group can be made up of many lights (see p.20 Configuring). Press The following screen appears: Current dim value Quick dim control (0, 20, Name of the light 40, 60, 80,...

Press The following screen appears: Name of zones (see system configuration) Validation of the access code (appears only when entering passwords, see system configuration). open zones To bypass one or more zones Keypad to enter access codes WARNING! Test your security system once a week.
Page 6 To disarm the alarm system, Cardio automatically brings up the keypad shown on page 5, and waits for the valid access code to be entered. If the code is invalid, the message “CODE INVALID...
Page 7 Fahrenheit (to be set in temperature configuration). Cardio can also control various kinds of heating systems: heat pump, HVAC, HVAC setback, heating setback or central heating (to be defined at the time of installation).
Page 8 Scenes (macros) Cardio can control many functions at a time (lighting, alarm system, temperature, outlets, etc.). For instance, when leaving the house in the morning, simply press one button to arm the alarm system, lower the temperature , turn lights off, etc.
Page 9 The new screen which appears is identical to the main screen shown on page 2 except for the pictogram now appearing in the upper portion of the screen. This sign indicates that Cardio is now in recording mode and no longer in “direct control” mode.
Page 10: Electrical Outlets
Thereafter, each time an alarm scene (arming/disarming) is activated, CARDIO will ask for a valid access code for validation purposes. When arming the alarm system only, it is possible to skip this step (entering an access code) if the access code entered while programming the scene was the “quick arm code”(easy exit) (see...

Page 14: Function Description
Function description: Reaction: lights are turned ON automatically after a particular detector has been triggered Telephone beep: determines whether the system beeps when the phone rings Detector beep: determines whether the system beeps when a security sensor is triggered. Doorbell: determines whether the system beeps when the doorbell rings Keypad beep: determines whether a beep sounds during the exit delay Appliance scheduling: determines whether appliance schedules are active or not (p.20) Light scheduling: determines whether light schedules are active or not (p.20)
Page 15: Date And Time
Adjustment of date and time settings. It is very important that both the time and date be set correctly because all schedules depend on these data. It is worth noting that Cardio uses either a 12 or 24 hr basis.
Page 16 Warning: for all scheduling, it is important to check the programming over the course of the entire week. Cardio will always give the most recently programmed schedule (unless reactions or direct commands have occured in the interim). For instance, if a command asks for a temperature of 65ºF (18ºC) on Monday morning at 8 a.m.
Page 17 Reminders Just as an alarm clock, Cardio can signal (with beeps) a variety of events at specific times. It also can call up on the screen a short description (up to 10 reminders for the week) which the user will have entered previously.
Page 18 Deterrent scheduling Cardio can simulate a presence in the home when the alarm system is armed. It turns ON and OFF lights at scheduled times so as to make the house seem occupied from the outside. To select and set the dim value of a group of lights, refer to “Lighting control” in the section “Direct command”...
Page 19 Position the cursor at the right time Press The following screen appears: Adjust lights to the desired intensity and press EXIT If desired, adjust the cursor to a new time setting Press to modify the intensity and to repeat the process Press to turn the group of lights OFF Press...
Page 20 ON or OFF. Outlet scheduling Cardio can also schedule outlets to be turned On and OFF. Pick the outlet to be scheduled Position the cursor at the right time (see “How to Schedule”p.16)
Page 21 (see p.27). Alarm system scheduling Cardio can arm and disarm the alarm system according to previously set days and time. See “How to Schedule” p.16 to adjust the time. Refer to the section “Security” in “Direct Commands” (p.5) to adjust the alarm system (bypass, etc.).
Page 22 If at the time scheduled to arm the alarm system, one or many zones are not ready (open doors or windows, etc.), Cardio will arm all zones ready to be armed and will ignore those that are not. Adjust the cursor to the right time.
Page 23 Temperature scheduling Refer to “How to schedule”(p.16) to modify a schedule See Temperature (p.7) in the section ”Direct commands" to adjust the temperature.
Page 24: System Configuration
System Configuration Only the installer has access to all configuring data. Nevertheless, Cardio enables the user to adjust and modify some data regarding lights, outlets, telephone, security and electronic keys. Miscellaneous The programming method is identical for all functions to be configured.
Page 25 Example: if there is a group (lights) called GARDEN or OUTSIDE, simply enter YES at the Sunrise/sunset prompt. These lights will be turned ON automatically at sunset and turned OFF at dawn. To turn them off before dawn, program a schedule (p.20) for the desired time . Reaction (occupancy) When an alarm system detector (motion, contact) is not in use, it is possible to use this detector to activate light(s) and outlet(s) during a preset delay (0..99 minutes), at the desired intensity...
Page 26 Light configuration See Miscellaneous (p.24) for instructions on modifying data Used to name and configure groups of lights Press lamp icon The following screen appears: Press the group to be modified (when there are more than 5 lights (or groups), press OTHERS) The following screen appears: X-10: Enter the X-10 code to be attached to the light.
Page 27: Outlet Configuration
Phone flashing (yes/no): determines whether a light will flash when the telephone rings. Random deterrent delay: when these lights are used in the deterrent function (p.18), it is possible to turn them on within a random time period (0..99 minutes) Example: turn on at 10 PM, at 65% brightness with a random delay of 6 minutes.
Page 28: Phone Numbers
If someone else calls within this delay and before the user does, this person will then be connected to Cardio but will not be able to enter the proper code and will therefore be denied access to the system.
Page 29 Ex: codes 12 and 123456 have been entered as valid user codes for two different users. When the user associated with code 123456 tries to arm/disarm, Cardio will validate as soon digits 12 is entered and will think that the user is the one associated with code 12.
Page 30: Digital Keys
Zone names “BEEP” Used to name security zones. See Miscellaneous (p.24) for instruction on how to modify data. BEEP (yes/no): beep when a detector is triggered no matter the alarm system being ON or OFF. Digital keys To declare a digital key, use arrows to position the prompt on a blank spot (1 to 16) and press READ.
Page 31 A scene can be activated automatically according to 4 variables (either a or b or c or d) and 2 conditions (e and f). Variable a (X-10 codes): X-10 codes sent by an external transmitter (other than Cardio). Variable b (key): digital keys (1 to 16) or ALL.
Page 32: Control By Telephone
Control by telephone In addition to the ease of use offered by Cardio’s touch screen, the system can also be controlled by a simple telephone call from either inside or outside the home (touch-tone and can be cordless ). In either case, control by telephone allows access to direct commands (alarm system, temperature, lighting, outlets, scenes).
Page 33: Emergency Calls
8 calls. Emergency numbers only: Cardio calls up the first number. If it is busy or there is no answer, it will dial the second number and so on until all 4 numbers have been called.

Recommendations Check phone jack when Cardio’s telephone functions do not seem to be working properly. Check breaker and battery if no screens appear. Check battery at least once a year. Check smoke detectors at least once a year. Test the security system once a week.
Page 36: Zone Types
(codes, delays). Listed below are configuring functions available to the installer (advanced user) ZONE TYPES Cardio offers 16 programmable security inputs of 9 different types. Types: • Delay: relevant to detectors associated with an entry delay (door, etc.) • Instant/delay (follower): relevant to detectors which can be triggered after a delay.
Page 37 the normal way to enter a house), both the contact and the motion detector will wait until the delay has expired before sending out an emergency. In the case someone enters the house through a window (which is not the normal way to enter a house), the door contact will not be triggered but the motion detector will.
Page 38 Available in the “delay” section of the installer configuring menu. Enter the maximum loop opening delay before an alarm is triggered. Values can run from 50 ms to 990 ms with increments of 10 ms. SOS holdup(yes/no): whether the siren is activated with the SOS holdup button SOS fire (yes/no): whether the siren is activated with the SOS fire button SOS medical (yes/no): whether the siren is activated with the SOS medical button Active (yes/no): to momentarily disable each of these SOS functions.
Page 39 Cardio can control lights or outlets according to sunrise and sunset. Sunrise and sunset times are displayed on screen along with date and time. Sunrise and sunset times vary according to the location on earth. Therefore, for the time to be accurate, it is important to enter longitude and latitude data corresponding to the exact location of the system.

Page 43: Central Heating System
When multiple HVAC is declared a button named OTHERS appears on each screen. Press successively on this button to have access to desired zones. HEAT PUMP SYSTEM Cardio can control most heat pump heating systems. Still, Cardio cannot control heat pumps with thermostats managing more than compressor, valve, blower and auxiliary heating.
Page 44: Hvac System
Note: its is impossible to have both heating and cooling at the same time in the HVAC mode. There is always a 2-degree minimal difference between the two settings and Cardio will adjust automatically if necessary. HVAC setback usually made up of two separate items: a heating system (furnace, baseboard heaters, etc.)
Page 45 Each zone (room) has its own basic thermostat which will be set manually to the normal temperature (comfort temperature) according to the user’s needs. Cardio will take control of all zones when in economic mode only and the temperature will be the one entered in the “desired temperature”setting in the screen above.
