1. THE KEYPAD AND ITS OPERATION To ensure correct operation of your security system it is essential to familiarize yourself with the use of the keypad. 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE KEYPAD LEDS A description of the functions of the various leds on the keypad is given below. 1.1.1 READY LED (RED) When this is on, the panel is ready to be set.
1.3 KEYPAD REMOTE LED FUNCTIONS The keypad remote LED (if fitted) will display the following information. KEYPAD LED CONDITION PANEL STATUS PANEL SET PANEL UNSET FLASHING ON/OFF ALARM CONDITION If the keypad enters standby mode, then the LED will also enter standby mode. However, any circuit or keypad activation will return the LED to the correct condition.
2.2 PART SET (SETTING WHILE AT HOME) To PART SET the panel: Verify that the READY led is on. Make sure the front door is closed. Enter your user code. DO NOT open the front door. All LEDs, except POWER will extinguish and the keypad buzzer will sound on/off for the duration of the exit time.
3. PROBLEMS WHEN SETTING THE PANEL 3.1 THE PANEL WILL NOT SET WHEN YOU ENTER YOUR CODE! 3.1.1 IS THE CODE CORRECT? If you enter the wrong code, the keypad buzzer will beep three times. 3.1.2 IS THE READY LED ON? If the ready led is not on, then one or more circuits are alarmed.
4. HOW TO UNSET THE PANEL If you are entering the premises from outside: Enter ONLY via the ENTRY/EXIT circuit and then go directly to the keypad. Upon entering, the keypad will “beep” to indicate that the entry time has started. Enter # followed by your 4 digit user code.
7. HOW TO BYPASS A CIRCUIT The term BYPASS is used to describe a circuit that has been de-activated. Any activations of a bypassed circuit will be ignored by the panel, even when set. To BYPASS a circuit(s): Press the * key followed by the key number corresponding to the circuit you need to bypass.
10. SPECIAL KEYPAD FUNCTION KEYS There are four keys at the bottom of your keypad. The function of these keys is explained below. 10.1 PANIC ALARM (P) Holding down the P key on the keypad for 1 second activates a PANIC ALARM (if programmed).
11. USER PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS 11.1 CHIME MODE The chime mode allows you to monitor certain nominated circuits when the panel is unset. The keypad buzzer and the internal alarm speaker (if fitted) will beep rapidly for a short period if a chime circuit is alarmed - the sounder will not sound. 11.1.1 HOW TO PROGRAM THE CHIME MODE Hold the 2 key down for two seconds.
11.2.2 HOW TO PROGRAM “PART SET” (AT HOME) CIRCUITS To program circuits as PART SET circuits: Either Ensure that the panel is unset and that no circuits are alarmed. Hold the 3 key down for 2 seconds. (The keypad will “beep” and the ready and tamper leds will flash together).
11.3 DELAYED ALARM CIRCUITS. DELAYED ALARM circuits can be used when PART SETTING (setting while staying at home). It is advisable to program DELAYED ALARM circuits if you are likely to accidentally trigger these circuits. A DELAYED ALARM circuit (when triggered) will cause the keypad to “beep”. Your user code must be entered within 30 seconds, or an alarm condition will be created.
11.4 ADDING OR CHANGING USER CODES This can only be done by the Master User. 11.4.1 ENTERING NEW AND CHANGING OLD CODES The PI-8 Alarm Panel has 16 programmable user codes: CODE 1 The master user code. CODES 2 to 15 General user codes.
11.4.2 USER CODE TABLE Enter your codes in this table and keep in a safe place. USER CODE USER 1234 DEFAULT MASTER CODE NEW MASTER CODE DURESS CODE 11.4.3 THE DURESS CODE (USER CODE 16) The duress code is a special 4-digit user code that is only used in the unique situation where an intruder forces a user to unset the panel "under duress".
12. EVENT LOG The PI-8 control panel has a 19 event memory, these events are stored in non volatile memory and can not be erased, nor will they be lost in the event of a complete power loss to the panel.
13. TROUBLE CONDITIONS In the event of a trouble condition occurring, the POWER LED will flash on and off. To determine what has happened, press and hold the 7 key for 2 seconds and check the entries in the table below for permanently on circuit LEDs. The ready, tamper and power LEDs will also flash.
