Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of RISCO Group's LightSYS Security System. The LightSYS has been specifically designed to meet a wide range of security needs for residential and commercial applications. LightSYS is designed to recognize abnormal conditions and inform the system of the status of any protected door, window, hallway, room, or area.
Mastering Your System LightSYS Architecture Your LightSYS controls and monitors a variety of sensors, detectors, and contacts placed throughout the premises, which provide external, perimeter and internal intrusion protection. The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each sensor to detect problems. If a fault is detected, you are notified both with panel beeps and indicator lights as well as remote messaging.
Mastering Your System User Operating Tools LightSYS can easily be managed locally or remotely depending on your system configuration. You can issue commands to the system and in turn, the system will communicate information to you via its display, indicators, voice messages, SMS messages, Email messages and by the sounds it makes.
The definition of the telephone number or Email address for each destination is defined by the grand master (see page 31) Notes: Voice messaging requires using the LightSYS voice module. This module also enables the LightSYS to announce various local messages to residents. LightSYS User Manual Page 8...
Email messaging (via ADLS/Cable connection) requires the use of the LightSYS IP module. Keypad Indication The LightSYS LCD keypad is the primary system interface and reports its status via its LCD icons, as described below. Keypad LCD Icons System is operating properly from AC power, its backup battery is in good condition and there are no faults in the system.

As a user of your security system, you'll mostly be concerned with the keypad. The LightSYS LCD keypad is the primary system interface. Each keypad in your system reports its status via its LCD icons, as described below. Through its keys, you can enter commands to set and unset the system, omit intrusion zones, report emergencies, and more, as described in the subsequent chapters of this manual.
If defined by your engineer, it might be required that all faults in the system should be confirmed to enable the setting operation. Your LightSYS supports the following kinds of setting: Full setting Full setting ( prepares all of the system's intrusion detectors to activate an alarm if violated, and is used when leaving the premises.
Partition setting A key LightSYS advantage is its ability to divide the system into up-to-four partitions. Each partition can be managed as a separate security sub-system, that is, set and unset...

The unsetting operation will be followed by a local message announcement (if defined). LightSYS unsetting varieties include the following: Full Unsetting If outside the premises, open an "entry" door. The keypad(s) beeps, indicating that the entry delay time period has begun.
In special cases (if programmed by your engineer) setting the system after an alarm might require a engineer code. On the LCD, a Not ready - engineer reset message may appear. For more information, consult with your engineer. Page 19 LightSYS User Manual...

Additional Set/Unset Capabilities Automatic Set/Unset The LightSYS has the ability to define automatic system setting at a predefined time of a day. A Set/Unset program automatically sets and unsets the system during your required time intervals. When defining the automatic setting/unsetting program, you need to define the following parameters: Partition, Setting Mode (Full/Part), Time, and Label.
Setting and Unsetting Remote Set/Unset Using a Phone If your LightSYS is equipped with the voice module you can perform setting/unsetting operations and operate the system from a remote touch‐tone phone by initiating a telephone call to or from the system and interacting with voice menus that guide you through your required remote operation.
System programming also determines whether these emergency alarms are audible and/or capable of being communicated to the alarm receiving center. LightSYS User Manual Page 24...
User Codes To perform many of the LightSYS functions, a security code (often called a user code) must be input. LightSYS can support up to 16 different user codes. User codes may have variable lengths of up to six digits.
This code can be changed by the engineer or the grand master. Notes: Your LightSYS was given a grand master code of 1-2-3-4 during manufacturing. RISCO advises that you modify this code to one that is unique and personalized as herein described, unless your alarm company has already done so.
