1.8 Screen Saver Option

The Screen Saver option (if enabled by the installer)
causes that when no key is pressed during more than 30
seconds, the display is "PowerMax" and the LEDs do not
light (to prevent an intruder to know the system status).
The normal display returns after pressing the OFF button
followed by entering user code (Refresh by Code) or after

2. SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE

2.1. Security-Related Pushbuttons

Key Function
Arming when nobody is at home
Arming when people remain at home
Canceling the entry delay upon arming
('AWAY-INSTANT' or 'HOME-INSTANT')
Disarming the system and stopping alarms
Testing the system (see Para. 6.8).

2.2 Preparing to Arm

Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed:
R E A D Y
If Ready is displayed, all zones are secured, and you may
arm the system any way you choose.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed), the display will read:
N O T R E A D Y
If NOT READY is displayed because of unsecured zone,
click to review the numbers and names of all open
zones one by one.
Let us assume that zone 2 (the back door) and zone 13
(the kitchen) are open. To investigate, proceed as follows:
Action Resultant Display

Z 1 3 O P E N
None (see note

N O T R E A D Y H H : M M
Note: To quit immediately at any stage, press
It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus
restoring the system to the state of "ready to arm". If you
do not know how to do this, consult your installer.
IMPORTANT! All arming procedures below are based on
the assumption that quick arming has been enabled by
the installer. If quick arming is disabled, the PowerMax+
will prompt you to enter your security code before arming.

(after 10 seconds)
pressing any key (Refresh by Key), as selected by the
installer. If Refresh by Key was selected, the first pressing
of any key (except Fire and Emergency) causes normal
display return and the second press performs the key
function. Regarding the Fire and Emergency keys, the first
key press causes normal display return and also performs
the Fire/Emergency function.

2.3 Arming 'AWAY'

If the system is READY, proceed as shown:
Action
Vacate the premises
ARM lights steadily throughout the armed state

2.4 Arming 'HOME'

If all perimeter zones are READY, and quick arming is
allowed, proceed as shown:
Action
Move to interior zone

2.5 Switching from 'HOME' to 'AWAY'

Do not disarm the system - just press
response will be the same as in Para. 2.2. Vacate the
premises before the exit delay expires.

2.6 Switching from 'AWAY' to 'HOME'

Do not disarm the system - just press
operation reduces the security level, the PowerMax+ will
ask you to key in your master user code or user code, thus
making sure that you are an authorized user.
