Controlling your alarm system
Users
Each person who uses the system is described as a User and has a unique identity
in the form of a PIN code, prox tag or wireless keyfob, or a combination of all
three. You can assign different access levels to users so that they can control
specific alarm system functions. User setup is described in the Menu access section
of the guide.
Panel control
You can control the alarm system panel in one of these ways:
Enter a PIN code at a keypad and press the function buttons.
Present a Proximity (prox) tag to a prox reader/MAX reader.
Press a button on a special encrypted wireless keyfob.
Although any of the above methods enables you to set and unset the system for day
to day operation, you will need to use a keypad to reset the system after an alarm or
fault condition. You can also use the keypad to:
View the event log
Program user codes
Omit zones temporarily from the system
Groups
On larger systems it is often necessary or desirable to split the system into separate
areas or groups that can be set and unset independently by different users. Group
operation can only be set up by an installer. The system can be split into eight
separately controllable groups. If your system has been set up for group operation,
look for the notes on groups throughout this manual.
