Getting Started
This manual describes how to setup and operate your LightSYS Plus system, and contains
the following main sections:
•
Initial Setup Tasks for the Grand Master: The required, initial system setup tasks that
are typically performed by the Grand Master – the principal system user
•
Operating the System: The user operations, such as setting, unsetting, and Omitting
zones -- which may vary per user
•
Reference Materials (Appendixes)
Initial Setup Tasks for the Grand Master
Before operating the system, the Grand Master (chief system user) must perform some
initial setup tasks. Below is a list of the Grand Master tasks most commonly performed,
shown in a typical order (depending on the system requirements, not all of these tasks may
be necessary):
Step 1: Changing the Default Grand Master Code
Step 2: Registering the System to the RISCO Cloud
Step 3: Logging into the RISCO Cloud / Web User Interface
Step 4: Downloading the iRISCO Smartphone App
Step 5: Working with Keypads and User Menus
Step 6: Defining User Codes and Proximity Tags
Step 7: Defining Follow-Me Destinations
Step 8: Defining Keyfobs for Output (Gate) Control
Step 9: Performing a Alarm Receiving Centre Test
Step 10: Performing a Wi-Fi Scan
Step 11: Training System Users
Who Can / Can't Perform the Procedures?
Although this chapter is intended for the Grand Master, some of the procedures can also be
performed by the Engineer and other system users – whether at initial setup, or during
regular system operation.
In order to show at-a-glance who can/can't perform the procedure, at the start of each
procedure the two most common user authority levels (level of permissions) are indicated –
Grand Master and User, as well as the Engineer/Technician. Their respective icons are as
follows, and if an icon is not listed, it means that person does not have permission to
perform the procedure:
•
Grand Master:
•
User:
•
Engineer/Technician:
NOTE: For Engineer/technician-indicated procedures, although they can perform the
procedures (locally at the premises or remotely via Configuration Software), the procedures
in this manual are specifically for Grand Master and system users.
For a detailed description of all user authority levels and their respective permissions, see
Describing User Authority Levels, page 14.
Step 1: Changing the Default Grand Master Code
IMPORTANT: The default Grand Master code is 1234, which can be changed by both the
Engineer and Grand Master. After the Engineer is finished installing and programming the
system, it is recommended that the Grand Master change this code to be one that is unique,
and confidential.
Step 2: Registering the System to the RISCO Cloud
Registering to the RISCO Cloud is a one-time procedure that allows you to use the iRISCO
Smartphone app and Web User Interface. This procedure should be performed by the
system Engineer, after you supply the Engineer with the required information, such as an e-
mail address.
➢
To register the system to the RISCO Cloud:
1. After the RISCO Cloud has been Engineer-enabled during system configuration, go to
www.riscocloud.com
NOTE: The Engineer can change the Grand Master Code but cannot see the one
programmed.
2. Fill in your first name and last name.
3. Enter your e-mail address as the Login Name (required for 1st-time activation).
4. Define the password (must be: a minimum of eight characters; contain at least one capital
letter and one lower case letter; contain at least one number; and contain at least one
special symbol) and then confirm.
5. Enter the 15-digit panel ID as it appears on the postcard packaged with the panel or
supplied by the Engineer. You can also view it on the keypad (see the procedure below).
6. Complete registration form, and then press Register.
7. Open the e-mail received at the email account you had defined as the Login Name in
step 3, and then click the link to activate your registration to the Cloud.
➢
To register to the iRISCO Smartphone App:
Download the iRISCO Smartphone app from the Apple App store or the Android Play
Store.
Viewing the Panel ID at the Keypad
➢
To view the main panel ID at the keypad:
1. Enter your Grand Master or user code, and then press OK.
2. Scroll to the View menu and then press OK.
3. Scroll Service Info and then press OK.
4. Scroll to Panel ID and then press OK; the 15 digit panel ID displays.
Step 3: Logging into the RISCO Cloud / Web User
Interface
You must log into the RISCO Cloud after registration. In addition, the Grand Master and
other system users (according to user authority level) can access and use the Web User
Interface, which offers basic and advanced remote operation, control, and management
operations for the system. Each time you log in to the Web User Interface, you connect to the
RISCO Cloud.
➢
To log into the RISCO Cloud / Web User Interface:
1. Go to www.riscocloud.com
2. Enter your username and password (as you defined during the registration process – see
Step 2: Registering the System to the RISCO Cloud, page 10).
3. Enter the system PIN code (user code), and then click Enter.
Step 4: Downloading the iRISCO Smartphone App
For system users with Smartphones, the iRISCO Smartphone app can be downloaded from
the Apple App store for iOS devices and from the Play Store for Android devices.
Logging into the iRISCO App
Whenever you access the iRISCO app, you typically need to enter your PIN only. However
if you manually log out from iRISCO, then to subsequently access it, you must first log into
the RISCO Cloud (at the iRISCO Login screen).
Step 5: Working with Keypads and User Menus
Keypad Buttons
Familiarize yourself with the keypad buttons for Grand Master setup tasks as well as the
buttons used for the operational procedures performed by system users. Also see the
packaged keypad instructions and the respective procedures in this manual.
This describes the main functions of keypad buttons for both Grand Master setup tasks and
the operational commands available for all system users. For further details, see the packaged
keypad instructions and also the respective procedures in this manual.

Step 6: Defining User Codes and Proximity Tags
Before assigning user codes, it is important to understand the available authority levels
(permissions levels) that need to be assigned for each system user.
Describing User Authority Levels
Each user-initiated command or procedure for operating the system requires the system
user to have permission to perform it. Various levels of permissions ("user authority levels")
are available to assign to each user, which designates which, out of all the system
operations, the user can or can't perform. The Grand Master (only one allowed) has the
highest level, and is responsible for determining the appropriate user authority level for
each other system user, and then communicating it to the Engineer – who in turn programs
it in the system. If the Grand Master ever decides to restrict the permissions or grant
additional permissions for a user, the Engineer may need to re-program the authority level
in the system.
Table of User Authority Levels
This table lists all user authority levels, and describes their respective permissions. The
Grand Master can perform all of the user operations, while system users with the User
authority level (the default) can perform most of the common operations.
Authority level Description of permissions
Grand Master
o Can perform all operations for all partitions
o Grand Master code can be changed by the Grand Master or Engineer
only
o Only 1 Grand Master code allowed in the system (has index number
000).
Master
Can perform all operations like the Grand Master, except the following:
o Can only assign and change codes belonging to those with authority
levels of Master and below
o Restricted access to designated partitions
o No restriction on the amount of Master codes
User
o Can perform the following for one or more partitions:
▪ Setting and unsetting
▪ Omitting zones
▪ Accessing designated partitions
▪ Viewing system status, fault, and alarm memory
▪ Resetting the switched auxiliary output (e.g. for resetting wired
latched devices)
▪ Activating designated utility outputs
▪ Changing one’s own code
o No restriction on the amount of User codes
Authority level Description of permissions
UnOmit
o All permissions of User level, except without the ability to omit
zones
Duress
o Duress is not really an authority level but a special programmable
code for all system users – used for activating a "Duress-Unsetting"
alarm. Both the Engineer and Grand Master have a role in defining
the Duress Unsetting code (see Creating or Editing the Duress-
Unsetting Code, page 17).
Set Only
o Can only perform setting (for one or more partitions)
o Useful for workers who arrive when the premises are already open,
but are the last to leave, and thus have the responsibility to close the
premises and set the system
o Cannot change one's own code
o No restriction on the amount of Set Only codes
Maid
o Typically used for cleaners and home attendants who may need to
enter the premises at times when the owner is not present
o For one-time setting of one or more partitions
o A temporary code, it is automatically and immediately deleted from
the system as soon as it is used to set (the code will then need to be
redefined by the Grand Master)
o Cannot change one's own code
o If first used to unset the system (for example, to enter the premises),
the code may be used once more for subsequent setting
Guard
o Can only unset the system
o After entering the code, the system will be unset for the predefined
time period. After this period expires, the system is automatically set
again.
o Cannot change one's own code
UO
Control
o Can only operate utility output(s)
o Cannot change one's own code
Describing User Codes
In order to perform system operations and commands, all system users must enter their
personal user code at the keypad. Up to 500 different codes are available, to be used for the
Engineer, sub-Engineer, Grand Master and all other system users.
The Grand Master assigns a unique, numeric user code for each system user from a wired
keypad, or via the Web user interface.
IMPORTANT:
•
All system users should keep their personal codes confidential, so as to prevent
unauthorized system access.
•
The Engineer defines the codes for the Engineer and sub-Engineer but can also define
the code for the Grand Master – it is therefore recommended that the Grand Master
define a new, confidential Grand Master code after system installation (one other than
the default, or an Engineer-defined code).
The Grand Master determines a "user authority level" for each system user. There are 9
levels to choose from, each of which has its own set of specific permissions for operating the
system. The Engineer in turn programs the user authority level for each system user. See
Table of User Authority Levels, page 14. The Grand Master can also assign a unique identifying
"label" (such as a name) for each system user.
NOTES:
•
At the time of installation, the Engineer designates the codes to be either 4 or 6 digits in
length. If defined as 6 digits the length apply for everybody – all users and
Engineer/sub-Engineer, however if defined as 4 digits then the Grand Master, Engineer,
and sub-Engineer must have 4-digit codes.
•
Other than the Grand Master, some users (according to their authority levels) can
change their own codes – see Table of User Authority Levels, page 14.
•
After the Grand Master enters a code, for reasons of confidentiality, the digits will not
be visible, but will display with asterisks (****). The number of asterisks that display
represent the code length.
•
You can also define user codes with the Web User Interface.
Creating or Editing User Codes
➢
To create or edit a user code from a wired keypad:
1. If not known, find out from the Engineer what the code length requirement is for system
users.
2. Enter your Grand Master or user code, and then press OK.
3. Scroll to the Codes/Tags menu, and then press OK.
4. At Define press OK.
5. Scroll to one of the available user index numbers (User 001—499), or scroll to Grand
Master, and then press OK.
6. At Edit Code (for Grand Master) or at Edit My Code (for other users), press OK.
7. Enter a unique code, and then press OK; a single beep with ACCEPTED displaying
indicates a successful code designation, while 3 beeps with REJECT CONFLICT
displaying, which indicates an unsuccessful code designation.
8. If not defining a label, press Exit.
9. [Grand Master only]: To define a label (name/description), scroll to Edit Label and press
OK.
10. For instructions on editing a label, see Creating or Editing Labels, page 19. When finished,
press OK, and then repeat the procedure for defining additional user codes.
Creating or Editing the Duress-Unsetting Code
A Duress-Unsetting code is a common code to be used if needed by all system users – for
the purpose of unsetting the system in an emergency situation only (typically when a user is
forced to unset against their will). When activated, the Alarm Receiving Centre is notified,
but at the premises there are no visual or audible indications (no alarms will sound).
Both the Engineer and Grand Master have a role in defining the Duress-Unsetting code:
1. Before performing the procedure below for the Grand Master, the Engineer must first
designate the duress "authority level" to one of the available user index numbers, and
then inform the Grand Master which user index number it is.
2. The Grand Master then defines the actual numerical code for that user index number (the
actual Duress Unsetting code), and then notifies all system users of the code.
➢
To create or edit a numerical Duress-Unsetting code:
1. If not known, find out from the Engineer which user index number was assigned the
"Duress" authority level, as well as the code length requirement.
2. Enter your Grand Master code, and then press OK.
3. Scroll to the Codes/Tags menu, and then press OK.
4. At Define press OK.
5. Scroll to the Engineer-provided user index number (user number) that had been defined
with the "Duress" authority level, and then press OK.
6. At Define, press OK.
7. At Edit Code, press OK.
8. Enter a unique code (cannot be the same as any existing user code) – with the same
length that was Engineer-set for the user codes, and then press OK; a single beep with
ACCEPTED displaying indicates a successful code designation, while 3 beeps with
REJECT CONFLICT displaying indicates an unsuccessful code designation.
9. If not defining a label, press Exit (see table in Keypad Buttons, page 12).
10. To define a label (such as "Duress"), scroll to Edit Label and press OK.
11. See the table below for instructions on editing a label. When finished, press OK, and
repeat the procedure for defining additional user codes.
Creating or Editing Labels
➢
To create or edit a label:
•
Using the scroll buttons to move the cursor, at each cursor position enter
(or over-write) a character/symbol by pressing the appropriate button (perhaps
repeatedly) to cycle through the button's various options, as listed in the table below.
Note that after a few seconds the cursor will automatically advance to the next position.
Alternatively, at each cursor position, you can use the toggle keys to go

has been deleted.
Describing Proximity Tags
Proximity-enabled RISCO keypads allow using Proximity tags to operate the system (per
user authority level – see Describing User Authority Levels, page 14). By holding a personal
Proximity tag close to the Proximity sensor of any Proximity-supported keypad, it functions
the same as entering a personal user code. The system supports up to 500 Proximity tags—
maximum one tag per user.
From keypads with Proximity, the Grand Master can define all aspects of Proximity tags,
while system users have a separate procedure in which they can only enroll or delete their
own personal tags (they cannot define a label).
NOTES:
•
For those with user codes already defined, Proximity tags subsequently assigned to
them will automatically have the same authority levels as their respective user codes.
•
Defining and enrolling Proximity tags can be performed at any keypad except the Slim
keypad, however users can operate the system with Proximity tags at any Proximity-
compatible keypad – including the Slim keypad.
•
For those with the Maid authority level, they can only operate Proximity tags if they
already have user codes defined.
•
Those with the User authority level can only change or delete their own personal
Proximity tags, whereas the Grand Master can create and modify Proximity tags for all
system users.

Step 7: Defining Follow-Me Destinations
The Grand Master can define up to 64 Follow-Me (FM) destinations ("user-recipients") that
will receive notification of system events such as alarm activations:
•
If system is Cloud-connected (for example if using a Smartphone with the Cloud-
connected iRISCO app): a FM user can receive notifications by E-mail, push-
notification, SMS-notification or voice, simultaneously.
•
If system is not Cloud-connected (for example if using a mobile phone without the
iRISCO app): FM notification is transmitted from the main panel (instead of via the
Cloud), and a FM user can receive notification by either
e-mail, SMS, or voice message.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the system Engineer configures the Follow Me notification type(s) for
each FM recipient. The Grand Master, in turn, inputs the respective telephone numbers and
e-mail addresses.
NOTES:
•
FM requires specific modules installed in the system – ask your Engineer.
•
The ability to transmit FM notifications are disabled/enabled by the Engineer.
Examples of Follow-Me Notifications
Typical FM notification via SMS:
Security System:

Step 8: Defining Keyfobs for Output (Gate) Control
Systems equipped with a dedicated wireless expander set to standalone mode can support
up to 200 "standalone keyfobs," each of which can be used to activate up to two outputs for
gate / parking control. For this purpose, the wireless expander can be used in either "bus
mode" (installed inside the main panel enclosure) or in the wireless "standalone mode"
configuration, where it is housed in a separate plastic enclosure, outside of the main panel.
Each standalone keyfob has a dedicated Engineer-programmable button for each of the 2
possible outputs.
For output control, the standalone keyfobs and wireless expander used are not the same
ones used to operate other functions of the system (setting/unsetting, etc.), although the
same keyfob/wireless expander models are used for both purposes.
NOTES:
•
The following procedures are only for standalone keyfobs (for output control)
•
See the packaged wireless expander instructions for standalone usage details

Operating the Listen-In & Speak Unit
The Listen-In & Speak Unit is an audio accessory that provides 2-way “listen-in" and/or
"talk” communication to and from the premises (such as between a system user at the site
and the Alarm Receiving Centre). The Listen-In & Speak Unit is also used to broadcast
status in the form of voice announcements (for system events such as alarms, and as
confirmation for user-initiated commands at the time of setting/unsetting only – see Voice
Announcements, page 87). Multiple Listen-In & Speak units can be used in the system.

For a description of keypad buttons used for user operations, see Step 5: Working with
Keypads and User Menus, page 12.
Keypad Display Options
Using the "Multi View" Keypad Display
[For wired keypad models with LCD displays]: The keypad displays each partition
number, with date, and time. If Engineer-defined, a letter can also display to indicate the
partition’s status, as follows:
Letter
Partition Status
A
Partition is fully set
S
Partition is partially set
N
Partition is not ready for setting
R
Partition is ready for setting
L
Partition is in an alarm state
Using the "Blank" Keypad Display
[For wired keypad models with LCD displays]: If Engineer-defined, two minutes after the
last keypad operation the keypad display will appear blank, other than the text "ENTER
CODE." This feature prevents the system status from displaying for unintended viewers – for
example, from keypads that are located outside the premises. Any user can view status as
needed on a "blank display" keypad by entering their code.
NOTE: When in blank display mode, the "Ready" indicator will still indicate faults in the
system.
➢
To view status on a "blank display" keypad:
•
Enter your Grand Master or user code (or place Proximity tag), and then press OK;
the status will display at the keypad.
NOTE: To enable viewing status on the keypad at all times, the Engineer must disable
the Blank Display mode for the keypad.
Obtaining System Information
System information/status can be requested and received from keypads and remote
controls. As well, system information can be obtained via the iRISCO app and the Web user
interface.
Depending on your system configuration, system information/status types received can be
visual (viewed) or audible (sound):
•
Viewed indicators: keypad text and indicators, keypad and remote control LEDs,
iRISCO and Web User Interface texts

If Engineer-enabled, you can set a partition – even if a zone within that partition is not
secured – by manually Omitting that zone.
If not omitted, when a zone is not secured, or "open" (OP) for whatever reason, by default it
will be in a "not-ready" (NR) state, meaning the system is not ready to be set, and the
keypad's "ready" indicator will not display.
Typical reasons for Omitting a zone are, for example, to set the system while allowing access
a zone in an otherwise protected area, or to set the system while temporarily circumventing
the setting of a specific zone.
NOTE: If Engineer-configured, you can "force set" which automatically omits specific
zone(s) upon setting. See Error! Reference source not found., page Error! Bookmark not
defined..
CAUTION: Zone Omitting, whether manual or automatic, may compromise the level of
protection the system can offer.
Viewing Not-Ready Zones
Before considering whether to omit zones, first view the non-secured/not-ready zones in the
system.
NOTE: Users can only view the "not-ready" zones that they are allowed to operate,
according to their user authority level (see Describing User Authority Levels, page 14).
➢
To view not-ready zones:
1. At the keypad, enter your Grand Master or user code, and then press OK.
2. Scroll, to View and then press OK.
3. Scroll to Zone Status, and then press OK.
4. Scroll to view the zones, which will display as READY or NOT READY.
Defining Zone Omit Status
If Engineer-configured, you can perform either the following procedure to omit zones, or
the quick procedure for one-time-only Omitting (see Quickly Omitting/Un-Omitting Zones on
a One-Time Basis, page 44).
➢
To define a zone's omit status:
1. At the keypad, enter your Grand Master or user code, and then press OK.
2. Scroll to Activities and then press OK.
3. At Omit press OK.
4. At Zones press OK.
5. Scroll to select from the following omit options:
•
One Time Only: Omits the selected zone once only – at the next system setting (the
zones will then not be omitted at subsequent settings)
•
Permanent Omit: Omits the selected zone on a continual basis, upon each system
setting
•
Omit Reset: Un-omits (removes the omit) for all zones
•
Omit Recall: Reverts to the most recent zone-omit state (if a Omit Reset was
recently performed)
6. Perform the following additional steps in the table below, according to the option you
select:
NOTES:
•
The default for all zones is N (not omitted)
•
If a zone is omitted, the full setting indicator does not display on the keypad when
in full setting mode
a. At the One-Time-Only option, press OK.
b. Scroll through the zones to one for which you want to
change its omit status.
c. Toggle to either Y (to omit) or N (to un-omit), and then
press OK.
Permanent Omit
a. At the Permanent Omit option, press OK.
b. Scroll through the zones to one for which you want to
permanently omit.
c. Toggle to either Y (to omit) or N (to un-omit), and then
press OK.
Omit Reset
a. At the Omit Reset option, press OK.
b. Press OK again to confirm; the keypad beeps, indicating
that all zones have been reset to a
not-omitted (default) state.
Omit Recall
a. At the Omit Recall option, press OK, then press OK again
to confirm.
b. Scroll through the zones to view that previously
un-omitted zones are again omitted. You can also toggle to
N at any zone to cancel its omit state.
c. Press OK; the keypad beeps, indicating the successful
operation.
Quickly Omitting/Un-Omitting Zones on a One-Time Basis
If Engineer-configured, you can quickly access the "one-time-only" omit option (see table
above). This may be useful, for example, if you want to omit zone(s) on a one-time basis, or
if you have previously permanently omitted zone(s) and you want to un-omit them on a
one-time basis.
➢
To perform a quick "one-time-only" Omitting/un-Omitting of zones:
1. At the keypad, enter your Grand Master or user code (don't enter OK after).
2. Press a scroll key; you will be prompted to omit the first zone (zone 1).
3. Scroll to the zone you want to omit, and then toggle using the Part Set button to either Y
to omit or N to un-omit.
4. Scroll to additional zone(s) as needed and repeat step 3 for each.
5. When finished, press OK.

Before Setting the System
IMPORTANT: Before setting the system, do the following:
✓
Ensure the premises have been vacated. Note that the entry/exit delay provides a specific
period of time to exit the premises before alarms are activated.
✓
Observe the system's status indicators, faults, and READY status:
•
Check status indicators – View icon indicators on keypad displays, or LED
indicators on Slim keypads and remote controls. Also listen to any audible
system status (beeps/squawks, or voice announcements). See Appendix C:
System Indicators, page 85.
Check that all zones are ready to be set (no open zones) –view the READY
indicator on the keypad (see Keypad Indicators, page 87)
•
Check for system faults. It is good practice to scroll through and view all
faults, whether or not your system is configured to require viewing them
before setting.
CAUTION: Depending on the system configuration, you may be able to set the system
while omitting all (or specific) open zones, and/or set while overriding system faults,
however, depending on the circumstances these arrangements may compromise the level of
protection that the system offers.

Partition Setting
Each partition in the system (32 maximum) is a separate entity, whereas it can be
independently set/unset (fully or partially) by those users with the appropriate authority
level – regardless of the state of the other partitions in the system.
Each zone (detector) of any type – whether a bus zone, hard-wired zone or wireless zone – is
associated with (assignable to) one or more partitions.
A partitioned system may have one or more common zones ("shared zones") – for example,
a common front door with a contact detector that is used by multiple offices.
NOTES:
•
A common zone is set only if all partitions to which the zone is associated are set
(may be set differently, depending on the Engineer’s configuration).
•
A common zone is unset if any of the partitions to which the zone is associated
are unset (may be unset differently, depending on the Engineer’s configuration).
The Grand Master has access to all partitions and can use any keypad to access any
partition. Other users can use only designated keypads for the partitions they are authorized
to access, according to user authorization level and configuration.
You can set either ALL partitions (with full-setting or partial-setting for each partition's
zone/s) or set 1 INDIVIDUAL partition at a time (with full-setting or partial setting for that
partition's zone/s).

Automatic Setting and Unsetting
You can have the system set and unset automatically for re-occurring weekly schedules,
one-time schedules, and holiday schedules (see Defining Automatically-Operated UOs and
Setting Operations, page 69).
Setting with System Faults
If Engineer-configured, you can set the system while overriding all current faults, provided
you first view and confirm all the faults.
CAUTION: Depending on the type of faults, setting while overriding faults may
compromise the level of protection the system can offer.
➢
To set the system while overriding faults:
1. If you do not succeed to set, use the scroll buttons to view all the system faults; after
viewing them all, OVERRIDE FAULT? will appear.
2. Toggle to the Y (yes) option to override them all, or toggle to N (no) to cancel the
override request.
3. Press OK.
Omitting Zones (Setting with Manually-Omitted Zones)
See Defining Zone Omit Status, page 43 and Quickly Omitting/Un-Omitting Zones on a One-Time
Basis, page 44.
Keyswitch Setting
If the system is equipped with a keyswitch, perform set and unset operations by "toggling"
through the respective modes.
Forced Keyswitch or Proximity Setting
When using a keyswitch or Proximity you can force-set any partition that has one or more
open zones (these zones will be automatically omitted upon setting). See Error! Reference s
ource not found., page Error! Bookmark not defined..
If Engineer-configured, low battery setting enables setting the system when a low battery
condition is detected in the main panel backup battery, or in a power supply expansion
module battery.
Strobe Setting
If Engineer-configured, strobe setting enables the internal or external strobe (upon
automatic activation by a UO) to provide a 10-second strobe confirmation after setting.
Unsetting Procedures
Unsetting deactivates all zones/detectors in the partitions, so they don't trigger alarms.
Unsetting also resets the system to normal operation, unless the system is configured to
require the intervention of a technician/Engineer for performing a system reset (see
Restoring the System upon Power Supply Overload.
Resetting the System with Engineer Intervention, page 60).
When unsetting at keypads, for security purposes all users are always required to input
their user codes. When unsetting at remote controls and keyfobs, a built-in "rolling code"
feature provides extra security without the need for the user code, although a unique PIN
code may be used with an 8-button remote control.
Unsetting All Partitions
You can unset all fully-set or partly-set partitions at the same time (per your user authority
level – "all" refers to the maximum partitions a user's authority level enables him/her to
operate) – which may not necessarily be all the partitions in the system.
➢
To unset all partitions:
1. If outside the premises, open a designated "entry" door. The keypad beeps, indicating
that the entry delay time period has started.
2. Before the end of the entry delay time period, perform the following procedure:

Duress Unsetting
See Activating a Duress-Unsetting Alarm, page 66.
Unsetting with Alarm Activation (Silencing an Alarm)
Depending on the system configuration, alarms will typically sound and have visual
indications at the keypad. If you unset the system during an alarm activation, it will also
serve to silence the alarm.
CAUTION: Before you unset with an alarm, ensure that it is a false alarm, or that no danger
will result by silencing the alarm.
Once the cause of the alarm has been determined (and any steps for resolution taken, if
needed), depending on the configuration, the system may require a "Technician Reset" – the
intervention of an Engineer/technician to reset the system (see Resetting the Alarm with
Engineer/ Technician Intervention).
IMPORTANT: If the alarm was triggered by a heat/smoke detector, in addition to the
audible alarm, the fire indicator will display on the keypad indicating the fire system must
first be reset before it can return to normal operation, and before one can re-set the system
(see Resetting latched devices, page 62).
CAUTION: During or after any type of alarm activation (manual or automatic), before
approaching or entering the premises, first be certain that there is no danger present. You
may need to contact responding agencies (police, fire, etc.) in order to confirm whether it is
safe to return to the premises.
➢
To unset with an alarm:
1. If outside the premises, open a designated "entry" door; the keypad beeps, indicating
that the entry delay time period has started.
2. Observe the following alarm activation indicators:
•
The sounder sounds
•
On keypads with displays, the full-set icon flashes and the activated zone
displays (for multiple activations, the first activation displays).
•
On Slim keypads, the red LED flashes rapidly
•
A voice announcement may broadcast: "Alarm occurred in the system"
3. Enter your code (or place Proximity tag near the keypad's Proximity sensor).
4. Press the Unset button.
5. For keypads with displays, scroll to view all zones with alarm activations.
6. If Engineer-intervention is required to reset the system after an alarm, see Resetting the
System with Engineer/Technician Intervention.
Returning the System to Normal Operation after Alarm
Activation
After an alarm activation, returning the system to normal operation requires one of the
following:
•
A system unsetting performed by the Grand Master or system user with
appropriate user authority level. See Unsetting with Alarm Activation (Silencing an
Alarm), page 59.
•
A system unsetting by Grand Master or system user, followed by the Engineer/
technician resetting the system (required after each alarm activation). See Resetting
the Alarm with Engineer/ Technician Intervention.
•
A procedure for the Grand Master to disable and reset Smoke/Heat detectors after
a smoke/heat alarm activation. See Resetting latched devices, page 62.
•
A procedure for the Grand Master or Engineer/technician to restore the system
upon power-supply overload for the 3 amp power supply module. See Restoring
the System upon Power Supply Overload.
•
Resetting the System with Engineer Intervention
The following methods of resetting the system require Engineer/technician intervention
(note that a system user must contact the Engineer/technician after each alarm activation):
•
Anti-Code reset (also known as "Technician reset")
•
Configuration Software reset
Anti-Code Reset (Engineer Reset)
If Engineer-enabled, upon alarm activation the system will not be ready to set until the

5. Enter the anti-code number you received, and then press OK; the system resets.
Configuration Software Reset
Upon alarm activation, the system will not be ready to set until the Engineer performs a
remote system reset using a computer with the CS (Configuration Software). Only a 1-hour
single access to the CS is allowed per alarm activation.
NOTE: Depending on the system's configuration, the Grand Master may need to first
authorize (enable) the Engineer to access the CS.
Enabling Engineer CS Access for Resetting the System
➢
To enable the Engineer CS access for resetting the system:
1. Ensure the system is unset.
2. Discuss with the Engineer which communication channel (IP or GSM) to utilize for

Activating a Duress-Unsetting Alarm
Activated from keypads only, a Duress-Unsetting alarm can be activated by all system users
during a "duress" emergency situation (typically, where a user is forced to unset the system
against their will). Duress unsetting "silently" disarms the system (no alarms will sound at
the premises) while it simultaneously sends a duress alarm to the Alarm Receiving Centre,
which in turn can quickly notify responding agencies, such as the police.
Instead of entering a user code, the user enters the special Duress-Unsetting code instead
(see Creating or Editing the Duress-Unsetting Code, page 17).
[For Proximity Users]: If a user has already set the system using a Proximity tag, the user
can activate a Duress-Unsetting alarm by using the duress code only (the user should not
use the tag).
IMPORTANT: The same code is used by all system users, and it should be kept confidential
from non-users.
CAUTION: A Duress-Unsetting alarm should be activated only when needed and not
haphazardly, as Alarm Receiving Centres and responding agencies treat duress alarms
seriously and may take immediate action.

Describing Utility Outputs
The system supports up to 196 programmable utility outputs (UOs) in the system. UOs
typically automatically activate external devices and appliances such as lighting and air
conditioning, or system setting/unsetting – in response to Engineer-defined activation
criteria, such as events and other triggers related to alarms, zones, partitions, system events,
user actions, and scheduled operations. Ask your Engineer about configuring UOs in your
system.
To schedule the automatic operation of a UO, the user inputs specific criteria, such as the
time and dates for activation/deactivation (see Defining Automatically-Operated UOs and
Setting Operations, page 69). The Engineer can designate a label for each UO (the default is
entitled "OUTPUT").
NOTE: Utility outputs can also be manually activated locally from keypads, or remotely via
either SMS (see Operating Remotely by SMS, page 33).
UO Operational Modes
When a UO appliance/device is activated, it operates in one of the following Engineer-
configured modes:
•
Latched: The appliance/device remains activated until it is deactivated.
•
Pulsed: The appliance/device remains activated for a predefined time, after which
it is automatically deactivated.
Manually Operating Utility Outputs
NOTES:
•
All UOs are Engineer-configured
•
Proximity and keyfobs/remote controls can be used if Engineer-configured
