8.1 Event Log Description

All events are memorized in an event log that contains up
to 100 entries. You can access this log, review the events
one by one and draw functional conclusions.
If the event log fills up completely (the number of
registered events reaches 100) it continues to accept new
events at the expense of old events - the oldest event is
deleted upon registration of each new event.
The date and time of occurrence are memorized for each
event. When reading the event log, events are shown in
chronological order - from the newest to the oldest.

8.2 Reading Procedure

To read the event log, proceed as follows:
A. While the system is in the normal operating mode, click
the asterisk ( ) key. The display will change to:
C O D E _ _ _ _
B. Enter the current master code. If the code is correct, the
"Happy Tune" will sound and the display will read:
L I S T O F E V E N T S
Important! Entering an incorrect code 5 times in a row
will initiate a 30-second penalty lockout of the keypad.
C. Click <OK>. The latest event will be shown. Suppose
that the latest event was an alarm in zone 13. The
display will now read:
Z 1 3 A L A R M

9.1 Replacing the Backup Battery

The PowerMax operates from the regular electrical supply
of the protected site, but incorporates an internal 9-Volt
battery that keeps it working during power failures. It is
extremely important to maintain this battery in good
condition, namely to replace it immediately upon getting
the following trouble message when reviewing system
troubles (see Para. 5.2B):
C P U L O W B A T T E R Y
Replacing the battery is a relatively simple process, so you
do not have to bother your installer. Proceed as follows:

Because of the limited display space, the event description
is shown first, then the date and time. The two displays are
shown alternately several times, until you click <OK> to
move on to an older event, or until the "no action" 4-minute
timeout restores the system to the normal operating mode.
Access to the event log is provided by clicking the asterisk
( ) key and then keying your master code.
Should you wish to get an overall view of using the
log, refer to Figure 8. The chart there may even serve
as your only guide to using the event log, instead of
going through the written step-by-step procedure.

The two displays will be shown alternately until you click
<OK> again to move to the next event, or until the
event log times out (4 minutes).
D. Click <OK> as many times as necessary to read all the
data you need.
A . Prepare 6 AA-size alkaline battery cells (option 1) or 6
size AA, 650 mA/h Nickel-Cadmium cells (option 2) -
purchased in any hardware or electrical supply store.
B . Make sure that the keypad cover is open.
C . Insert a wide bladed screwdriver into the slot shown in
Figure 9, and turn the handle slightly to force the right
edge of the left-hand cover up. This should dislodge
the two catches and free the right edge of the cover.
Warning! Do not try to dislodge the left side of the
cover first! This will break the angled legs at the left.
