3000 / 4000 Guide

Your system may be programmed to allow a Duress alarm to be activated if you are being forced to perform operations at an LCD Terminal against your will.

Duress is activated by simply entering a special PIN Code instead of your normal PIN Code, when logging on to the LCD Terminal.

The resulting action will depend on how the system is programmed. Typically a “Silent” alarm is activated. (A discreet alarm report is sent to the remote monitoring station)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult your Installer:

• To detemine if the Duress Code function is enabled in your system.
• For details of any Duress Codes that will be used.
• For details of how the Duress Code function will operate &/or report.

You may wish to use the space below to record the details of how your Duress Code system will operate. (NOTE: The Duress PIN Codes should not be recorded here).

Acknowledge an Alarm.

Alarm messages must be acknowledged by a User with the appropriate authority. These messages provide precise information of the type of alarm, the Area it has occurred in, and the Zone or System Input that generated the alarm.

Logon to the Terminal as described before.

[PIN code] + [OK]

The display will show the specific details of the Alarm and provide a scrolling message if more than 16 characters.
e.g. “Had Alarm on FRONT DOOR in FOYER”

Note alarm details, then press the [OK] key to acknowledge the message. If there are other Areas that have had an alarm, the next Area Alarm message will be displayed until all Area Alarm messages have been acknowledged. The display will then show the Area ON/OFF message to allow you to continue with your operation. e.g. Turn the Area OFF.

Acknowledge Latched Alarms.

If this message is displayed certain types of alarms in your system have been programmed to Latch. Latching alarms enables all alarms in an Area to be individually viewed when this message is displayed.

NOTE: The Latched Alarms message can only be cleared if the Input is Sealed.(i.e. The condition causing the Alarm has been rectified)
This feature is useful for Plant Alarms such as:

• Refrigeration Temp too High.
• Compressed Air Low.
• etc.

Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to view all Latched alarms.

then;

Logon to the Terminal to acknowledge the alarm/s and clear the message.

Information: Menu Option 1

Review

Allows a User to view the list of review events stored in the memory. This may be necessary to find out details of user activity or past alarms, etc.

[MENU] + 1 + 1

The Display will show the last review event, which will probably be a record of yourself accessing the Review Menu.

The [0] key is used to go to the start of review (earliest event still stored) and the [9] key is used to go to the end of review (last event saved).

[UP] (back) and [DOWN] (forward) Arrow keys are used to search review, one event at a time.

[LEFT]: Forces display to the start of the text.
[RIGHT]: Scrolls text one character at a time.

Review Filter:

The DIGIT keys, 1 to 8 can be used to search back through review for specific types of events, beginning from the date/time of the event currently displayed. As there are more than 8 filter categories that can be selected, the “Mode” can be changed by pressing the ON & OFF keys, allowing selection of more categories. You can use these filter keys in conjunction with the UP and DOWN Arrow keys to locate a specific event and then review all the other events around it in more detail.

[9](Go to End of Review) then [OFF] OR [ON] (Mode) then [DIGIT KEY]

LOGON to an LCD Terminal.

Logging on is the first step performed in MOST operations.

Enter your secret PIN Code using the digit keys, then press the [OK] key. Each digit pressed will be displayed as a hash (#) character. If you make an error while entering your PIN code, press the [END] key and start again.

If there are no messages to be acknowledged, the Display may first greet and identify you.
Note: Greeting can be disabled in V3 or later.

If there is a message to be acknowledged, refer to “Acknowledge an Alarm”.

The status of the first Area (or Area List) that you are allowed to control is displayed, with a prompt to perform an ON or OFF operation.

When your operations are complete, you must Log off the Terminal by pressing the [END] key.

NOTES:

1. Keypad Lockout. If a Valid PIN code is not entered after a number of successive tries (usually 5 or 6), the LCD Terminal will display a “Too many tries” message and will be totally locked out for a pre-determined period. (Normally 60 seconds)A message “Module Lockout: LCD Term. #??” will be logged in the Review memory and an alarm message “Too Many Tries” may be reported.
2. Duress. If you are being forced to perform operations at an LCD Terminal against your will, your system may allow a Duress alarm to be activated by using a special PIN Code. See “Activating a Duress Alarm” for details.
3. PIN discovered. When programming User Codes, if a User attempts to choose a PIN Code that already exists, the message, “This pin not allowed” is displayed. Whenever that PIN Code is now used, the LCD Terminal will display a warning: “Your pin has been discovered by another User. You should change you pin. ”If you see this message, you can press [OK] to continue your operation, but make arrangements to have your PIN Code changed as soon as possible.

Turning Area/s OFF.

Once you have Logged on to a Terminal, and have seen the Area status with the “Push Off” or “Push On” message, you may perform the Area OFF or ON operations.

Remember: You have a limited time to turn an Area OFF once you have entered the Area (Usually 30-90 seconds). Ask the Installer for the Entry time used in your system.

Logon to the Terminal as described earlier.(PIN code + [OK])

After the greeting (if enabled), the display will show the Area Status etc. as before. To select another Area see “AREA SELECTION” on the next page.

At the “Push OFF” prompt, turn the displayed Area(or Area List) OFF by pressing the [OFF] key. The display will alter accordingly to indicate that the operation was successful.

[OFF]

If you are allowed to control more than one Area:

-DISPLAY MODE.
The Display mode can be changed from Single AREA to AREA LIST and vice versa, by pressing the [RIGHT ARROW] key.

By using AREA LISTS, you can turn OFF all the Areas in the List that you are allowed to control, with a single operation.

i.e. You can select any Area List in the system. However, only Areas that are in the Area List selected and are also in the Area List in your “User Type”, or your “Extra Area” will be turned Off.

–AREA / AREA LIST SELECTION.

You may select other Areas or Area Lists by using the [UP] and [DOWN] Arrow keys and/or the [DIGIT] keys to select the 1st letter that the Area name begins with.

e.g. A system has Areas named “Reception”, “R & D” and “Rodneys Office”.

1. To select any of these Areas, press the [6 PQR] key until an Area starting with “R” is displayed.(You may need to press the key between 1 and 3times depending on other Area names in the system).
2. If the Area that you require is not displayed, use the [DOWN] Arrow key to scroll through, and select, the other Areas starting with that letter. Note: Areas are sorted numerically after the 1st letter.

-Deferred Arming option.

In some applications the system is programmed so that certain User types may only turn the Area Off for a limited time. e.g. A cleaner or guard working outside normal working hours may only turn the Area Off for 60 minute intervals.(V2 or later only).

When these User types turn the Area Off, the display shows Area is Off with a “Defer timer” running.

At any stage during the defer time, the User can turn the Area Off again, to re-start the timer, (V3 or later only) or turn the Area back On and cancel the timer.

When the timer has only 250 seconds left to run, the LCD Terminal will beep every 2 seconds and display this warning. The User can still perform the Area Off or Area On operations during this warning period, but if no action is taken the Area will automatically turn On when the warning period expires.

[CODE],[OK],[OFF] or [ON]

NOTE: If more than one Area is about to turn On,the display shows each Area in turn for 2 seconds.

Turning Area/s ON.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some systems in high security applications may have the Area Pre-Arm “Walk Test” feature enabled. (Only available in V3 or later). In most systems this feature is not enabled and the Area ON procedure will simply be performed as described below. If Walk Testing is enabled on your system, the same procedure is followed except that after the initial test to ensure that all Zones are Sealed, the system then enters Walk Test mode.

Logon to the Terminal as described earlier.(PIN code + [OK])

After the greeting (if enabled), the display will show the Area Status etc. as before. If you are allowed to control more than one Area, the DISPLAY MODE can be changed and AREA/S SELECTED as described in “Turning Area/s OFF”.

At the “Push ON” prompt, turn the displayed Area(or Area List) ON by pressing the [ON] key.

After the [ON] key is pressed, the system will test the state of all the inputs allocated to the Area to ensure that they are in the Sealed condition and the Area is ready to be turned ON.

Display briefly shows:

THEN:

If all Zones programmed to be tested are Sealed, the Area will turn ON and this display will indicate that the operation was successful. While this message is displayed, you can press the [ON] key again to view the Exit delay time counting down in 5 second increments.
Remember: You have a limited time to exit the Area once you have turned it ON (Usually 30-90seconds). Ask the Installer for the Exit time used in your system.

Display briefly shows:

When the operation is complete the display will return to the Area status message.

OR

After pressing the [ON] key, the display may show a message like this. It means that the item displayed is either faulty or in an alarm state, and the Area will not turn ON.

e.g. A detector or it’s cabling have been damaged. A door or window has been left open. Try to rectify the problem before trying again.

If this is not possible, you may be allowed to ISOLATE the item while the “Zone Problem” message is displayed, by pressing the [OK] key.

NOTE:
Inputs isolated in this way are automatically de-isolated when the Area is turned OFF.

Isolate: Menu Option 3

[MENU] + [3]

If a detector or alarm contact is faulty, or their cabling has been shorted or cut, you may be unable to turn ON any Area that the faulty device is in.

Users with the authority to “Isolate on Exit” can isolate any faulty devices when prompted during the Area ON procedure.(see “Turning Area/s ON” for details) However, when you know that a device is faulty, (e.g. A roller shutter contact has been damaged by a Forklift) you may also have the authority to Isolate the Zone via this menu option before anyone attempts to turn the Area ON. Note that System Inputs can also be isolated. e.g. “Expander 01 Ext. Siren Tamper” could be isolated while damaged speaker cabling was awaiting repair.

NOTE: The Isolate menu also allows you to De-isolate Zones if the fault is rectified before the Area needs to be turned ON.

SELECTING A ZONE TO ISOLATE

There are two methods of selecting a Zone: “Zone ID” OR “HomeZones”.
-Zone ID allows selection of any zone in the system by Zone ID number or by searching through the zone list in numerical order for the zone name.
-HomeZones allows selection of any zones that have been designated as HomeZones, by using the quick “Alpha-search” method.(V3 or later only).

You will only be able to use one of these methods depending on the setting of the“[H]omeZone Isolate” option in the special options screen of the Menu Group assigned to your User Type.

Zone ID selection.
The display will prompt you to enter the Module/Zone (Input) ID of the Zone you wish to isolate.

If you know the Zone ID, use the [OFF] key to clear the screen, then enter the letters/numbers of the Zone ID with the [DIGIT] keys, then [OK].

If the ID is not known, press the [ON] key, and then scroll through the Zone names in numerical order using the [UP] and [DOWN] Arrow keys,then [OK].(Alpha-search using the digit keys is NOT used in this method).

HomeZone selection.
The display will show the name and current status of the first HomeZone. (V3 or later only).

NOTE: Only available if the HomeZones option isused in your system.The [UP] and [DOWN] Arrows will search through the named HomeZones alphabetically,

OR

Press the [DIGIT] key that represents the first letter of the name. (You may have to press the key 2 or 3 times to obtain the required letter.) If the name you want is not displayed because of other names starting with the same letter, use the [DOWN] Arrow key to locate the name, then press the [OK] key to proceed.

ISOLATE / DE-ISOLATE THE INPUT.
The display will now show the name and current status of the Zone/Input.

[OFF] key to Isolate the Zone displayed. Any Zones isolated in this way are automatically De-isolated when the Area is next turned OFF. [ON] key to De-isolate (or “Enable”) the Zone. [RIGHT] arrow key to “Sticky Isolate” the Zone. The Zone will remain isolated unless De-isolated from the LCD Terminal via this Menu option.

A brief message will appear on the display to confirm that the operation was successful.

When complete press the [OK] key to return to the “Zone to Isolate” display.

THE LCD TERMINAL

Default LCD Display.

The LCD Terminal offers a number of options for the Default display.This is the display that will be shown when there are no User operations being performed, and no Alarms or other messages to be displayed.

The Default display can be selected separately for each LCD Terminal in your system. The settings can only be programmed by the Installer, who can also advise you on the appropriate options.

SYSTEM READY.
If no specific Default Display option has been chosen, this message will be displayed.

SINGLE AREA STATUS.
This option allows the name and current status of a single Area to be displayed. This is useful when the Terminal only provides control of one Area. An option is also provided to allow the UP and DOWN Arrow keys to be used to view the name and current status of up to 8 sequential Areas.

AREA ARRAY.
The Area Array allows the current status of 8 Areas to be viewed by Area number.
n = Area Off (Disarmed)
Y = Area On (Armed)
T = Timed Off (Defer Arming timer running)
W = Defer Arm Warning. (Timer about to expire)

An option is also provided to allow the UP and DOWN Arrow keys to be used to view the current status of all Areas in the system by Area number.

i.e. Areas 1-8

V Areas 9-16

V Areas 17-24, etc.

TIME & DATE.(V5 or later only).
The Time and Date option allows the current system Time and Date to be displayed. This option is particularly useful if the system is being utilized to generate Time-On-Site reports. Users can be provided with a display of the actual system Date & Time being logged.

CUSTOM MESSAGE.
The “Diaries” feature can be utilized to provide a customized message that is appropriate for the particular Site and/or the particular Terminal. Some common applications are:

• The Monitoring Station’s Telephone number.
• The Installer’s Telephone number.
• “Welcome to (your company name)”-“Enter PIN & OK to Logon”.

The Indicator Lamps.

Four multi purpose lamps are provided across the top of the LCD Terminal for quick and simple indication of Area and Alarm Status, Door functions and/or other conditions. The settings can only be programmed by the Installer, who can also advise you on the appropriate options.

When programmed for “Area Array”, the lamps will indicate the status of 4 sequential Areas in the following manner:
Off = Area Off (Disarmed)
On = Area On (Armed)
Flashing = Alarm in this Area.

MENU OPTIONS

Users with the appropriate level of authority can perform many other operations and are allowed access to certain programming facilities via the Menu.

Testing: Menu Option 4

MENU + 4

Your system may be programmed with an option to allow Walk testing of specified Zones in particular Areas. (V3 or later only).

Testing simply involves activating the devices (usually detectors) and then allowing them to return to their normal state. e.g. Walk past movement detectors, open and close doors, press then release panic buttons, etc. The system can perform automatic testing on devices that are regularly activated by movement, etc., such as PIRs and Door Contacts. However, other types of Input devices, such as Glass-break, Smoke & Seismic detectors, Panic buttons, Window Contacts, etc. should also be tested on a regular basis. (e.g. Once every month).

NOTE: The additional Test Menu options shown in the Menu Flow chart at the rear of this manual are only accessible to the Installer. They provide a comprehensive range of Testing to assist with installation, commissioning and service of the system.

The display will prompt you to select an Area to Test.

The [UP] and [DOWN] Arrows will search through the Area names alphabetically,

OR

Press the [DIGIT] key that represents the first letter of the name.(You may have to press the key 2 or 3times to obtain the required letter.) If the name you want is not displayed because of other names starting with the same letter, use the [DOWN] Arrow key to locate the name.

When the Area is selected, press the [OK] key to proceed.

If the maximum time allowed for Walk Testing expires, the test will be aborted and the display will return to the “Area to Test?” prompt. The maximum test time is programmed by the Installer for each Area. If the max. test time for an Area is set to zero, the maximum test time will then be 10 minutes.

After an initial test to check that all Zones are Sealed, the Walk Test commences. The display will update with a beep every few seconds to show any Zones that have not been tested. The following key functions are available while this display is shown, and may need to be used if any device fails to operate or cannot be tested:

To abort the Walk Test because a Zone is faulty and cannot be tested, press the [OK] key. A “Test Failed” message will be displayed. Press the [OK] key again to return to the “Area to Test?” prompt.

To abort the Walk Test, press the [END] key. The display will briefly show “Operation Aborted”, then return to the “Area to Test?” prompt.

To manually advance to the next untested Zone, press any other key.

When all the Zones have been tested and there are no faults, the “Test Passed” message is displayed.

Push [OK] to exit the Walk Test mode and select another Area to Test.

Select another Area to test or Press the [END] key to exit and return to the normal display.

NOTE: For comprehensive testing of the system, including the reporting facilities, a procedure similar to the following is used on appropriate sites:

Arrange with the Central Monitoring Station for testing to be performed periodically in “real-life” conditions. This involves setting aside a period when all Areas in the system are turned ON, then activating all the Input Devices. A report from the Central Station is then used to check that all devices activated were reported. This method also tests that Input processing and Reporting options have been programmed appropriately, and that the alarm reporting is occurring effectively.

Level Messages.
