USEFUL HINTS FOR ABBRA USERS
Important for UL-listed installations
This system is suitable for Grade A household burglary applications.
Stopping an alarm: When the alarm sounds - press the DISARM ( ) button on your key-ring transmitter or press
on the keypad and then enter your access code (1 1 1 1 by default).
Stopping trouble beeps: When trouble occurs in the system, the TROUBLE indicator on the front panel will light, and
a sequence of 3 beeps will sound once per minute. If you do not wish to eliminate the trouble immediately and the beeps
on the keypad and then
are bothersome, press the DISARM ( ) button on your key-ring transmitter, or press
enter your access code (1 1 1 1 by default). This will silence the buzzer for 4 hours, after which the trouble beeps will
resume sounding. Be advised, however, that in any case the trouble beeps are silenced during night hours.
Perimeter and interior zones versus 24-hour zones: Most of the protection sensors in your system are linked
to perimeter and interior zones. These zones trigger alarms while the system is in the armed state and do not trigger
alarms while the system is in the disarmed state. Other sensors are linked to 24-hour zones which trigger alarms
irrespective of arming/disarming.
Arming while perimeter zones are not secured (doors and/or windows are open): Your display will read
“NOT READY” if a protected door or window is open. You can find out which zone is “not ready” by clicking the
<VIEW/SELECT> button. You can eliminate the problem by closing the door/window or by performing "Forced arming"
(zone deactivation) if this option was enabled by the system installer. In case you intentionally choose to bypass a zone,
leave the door or window open and arm the system (a voice message will announce that ”Forced Arming” is under way).
Bypassed zones will not be protected during one arming period.
Gaining access to 24-hour zones: If you wish to access a sensor defined as a 24-hour zone without causing an
alarm:
• Click <NEXT ITEM> - the display will read: NORMAL MODE.
• Click <NEXT ITEM> again - the display will read: USER SETTINGS.
• Click <VIEW/SELECT> - the display will read: ENTER CODE ___.
• Key your secret 4-digit <User Code> - the buzzer will play the “happy tune” (- - - ––––).
You have 4 minutes during which the 24-hour sensor can be opened and accessed. When the 4 minutes are up, the
system will automatically revert to the normal mode.
Canceling accidental alarms: Upon alarm, the internal sounder is activated first for a limited period of time (set by
the installer). Then the external siren starts and the event is reported to the central monitoring station. If you accidentally
cause an alarm, you may simply disarm the system before the external siren starts - the alarm will not be reported.
If you cause an alarm accidentally and the external siren has already started - you can still disarm the system within a
time limit set by the installer (1 to 15 minutes, as desired). If you manage to disarm on time, a CANCEL ALARM
message will be automatically sent to the central monitoring station.
Failing to exit before the exit delay expires: If you exit the protected site after the exit delay expires (the exit
delay beeps stop), the system will interpret this as if you just entered. The entry delay countdown will begin and the entry
delay beeps will sound. To prevent an alarm, you must disarm the system before the entry delay expires.
Unauthorized entry took place while you were away: If you hear alarm sirens when you are about to re-enter
the premises, and lights which should be off are on - an intruder may still be inside or another event may have occurred.
Do not confront the intruder - remain outside and call the emergency services.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The ABBRA is a wireless alarm control system that
provides protection against burglary, fire and tampering. In
addition, it can be used to control lights and electrical
appliances within your household and/or to monitor the
activity of disabled or elderly people left at home. Status
information is presented visually and verbally, and in most
cases a recorded voice prompts you to take correct action.
The ABBRA is governed by a control panel (Figure 1)
designed to collect data from various sensors that are
strategically located within and along the perimeter of the
protected site (Figure 2).
In the disarmed state, the system provides you with visual
and verbal status information, and initiates an alarm if
smoke is detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone
(a zone which is active 24-hours a day).
In the armed state, the system will initiate an alarm upon
detection of disturbance in any one of the armed zones.
You will need a 4-digit security code to master the system,
and you can authorize 7 other persons to use the system
by providing them with their own security codes. Moreover,
you can obtain up to 8 multi-function key-ring transmitters
that will allow you and other users to control major
functions without approaching the control panel.
The system identifies a wide range of events - alarms,
attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of
trouble. Events are automatically reported via the public
telephone network or GSM network to central monitoring
stations (in digital form) and to private telephones (in plain
language and/or SMS messages). The person receiving
such a message is expected to investigate the event and
act accordingly.

1.2 System Features
Your ABBRA offers a large number of unique features:
• 30 zones: Each protected zone is identified by number
and by name (ask your installer to assign names to your
zones).
• Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAYINSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY and BYPASS.
• Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language status
information and prompts are displayed on the front panel
in large, clear letters.
• Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the right
side of the display.
• Various reporting destinations: Events are reported
automatically to central monitoring stations, private
telephones of your choice and even to a pager.
• Selective reporting: Your installer can determine what
type of event will be reported to which destination.
• Latchkey mode: An automatic “Latchkey” message is
sent to chosen telephones if the system is disarmed by a
“latchkey” user (a junior family member, for instance).
• Spoken announcements and instructions: Statusdependent, pre-recorded verbal messages are heard
over the built-in loudspeaker (if the voice prompts are
enabled - see Para. 7.10).
• Message exchange: Before leaving the premises, you
may record a short verbal message for other users of
the system who may arrive later. Upon arrival, you can
listen to verbal messages left by others for you.
• Keypad and wireless control: Full control from the
keypad; major functions can be carried out by pressing
buttons on hand-held miniature transmitters.
• Access from remote telephones: You may access the
ABBRA from a remote telephone and Arm/Disarm it or
receive system status information.
• Numerical keys serve as function keys: In the
disarmed state, numerical keys are used to control
various system functions. A simple icon on each key
identifies the task of that key.
• Electrical device control: Lights and electrical
appliances can be controlled if optional X-10 modules
are used. The electrical cabling network of the building
carries the control signals. Your installer will determine
the control means in accordance with your needs.
• PGM remote control: Gate control mechanisms,
courtesy lights and various other devices can be switched
on and off via a special PGM (programmable) output.
Your installer will determine the control means, in
accordance with your needs.
• Data retrieval: You can obtain status information,
trouble information and review memorized alarm events
- visually and verbally.
• Looking after elderly, physically handicapped and
infirm individuals (not used in UL-listed systems):
The system can be programmed to monitor activity
within the protected area and send out an alert message
if the person under surveillance remains still for too long.
• Distress calls: Miniature pushbutton transmitters dealt
out to specific individuals may be used for sending
emergency calls for help.
• Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly compelled
to disarm the system, he can use a special code that
disarms the system apparently as usual, but sends a
silent alarm to the central station (see Para. 2.13F).
• System supervision: All wireless detectors and wireless
commanders within the protected site send periodic
supervision messages. If such a message is overdue, the
ABBRA displays an ‘inactivity’ trouble message. Your
installer can disable this feature if so desired.
DE5467NAU
• Battery supervision: You do not have to worry about
‘dead’ batteries. The ABBRA displays a ‘Low Battery’
message whenever a battery in a wireless device is
found to be near the end of its useful life.
1.3 Terms of the Trade

Note: For UL-listed systems, the AUX button shall not be
programmed to activate any output.
A. Controlling a gate or another electrical device:
Pressing the AUX button opens/closes an electricallycontrolled gate, or controls a chosen electrical device.
5
If the disarm button is not pressed again during the 15
seconds period, perform either of the following actions:
A. Press AWAY twice to arm the system, otherwise the
system will not be armed and an acknowledgement
(from the user that he knows about the Low Bat) will not
be stored in the event log.
B. Press AWAY and then press disarm button, to ackknowledge, otherwise the acknowledgement will not be
stored in the event log.
B. Arming the system in the INSTANT mode (without
an entry delay): Pressing the AUX button immediately
after arming, during exit delay, causes the system to
be armed without an entry delay. This means that
entering the protected premises via any zone will
trigger an immediate alarm. You and other holders of
keyfob transmitters will have no problem, because you
can disarm the system before entering by pressing the
DISARM ( ) button on your transmitter before entry.
C. Getting status information: Upon pressing the AUX
button on your transmitter, the voice module
announces the system status over the loudspeaker.
Disarming by a keyfob whose battery voltage is low
If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery
voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard for 15 seconds
(if this beep is enabled by the installer). During this period
you should press again the disarm button of the keyfob or
control panel (for the control panel, user code is required)
to disarm the system. If you perform this action during the
15 seconds period, the Low Bat message will be stored in
the event log.
1.7 Voice Announcements
The pre-recorded voice announcements respond to your
commands by announcing what the system is doing and
by prompting you to perform certain actions. They also
announce alarms, troubles and identify the source of each
event.
The pre-recorded plain language announcements made by
the voice module are quite clear and self explanatory.
Therefore, the spoken text was omitted in the following
sections of this guide and focused attention on visual
display and sounder beeps. This way the user guidance is
brief and concise.

1.8 Screen Saver Option
The Screen Saver option (if enabled by the installer)
causes that when no key is pressed during more than 30
seconds, the display is “ABBRA” and the LEDs do not light
(to prevent an intruder to know the system status). The
normal display returns after pressing the OFF button
followed by entering user code (Refresh by Code) or after
pressing any key (Refresh by Key), as selected by the
installer. If Refresh by Key was selected, the first pressing
of any key (except Fire and Emergency) causes normal
display return and the second press performs the key
function. Regarding the Fire and Emergency keys, the first
key press causes normal display return and also performs
the Fire/Emergency function.

Automatic forced arming only works if the installer allowed
this option while programming your system. Disturbed
zones will be bypassed - they will not be armed. The
protected site will not have maximum protection.
Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer
“protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit
delay until the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can
silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.

This mode is useful for a parent at work who wants to be
sure that his children have returned from school and have
disarmed the system. Arming in the “latchkey” mode
means that a special “latchkey” message will be sent out
when the system is disarmed by a “latchkey user”.
Latchkey users are holders of user codes 5 through 8 or
users of Keyfob transmitters 5 through 8. The latchkey
message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and is
therefore sent to the private telephones programmed by
the user as targets for alert messages.
Latchkey arming is possible only when you arm “AWAY”.

2.14 Siren Behavior
Continuously ON when initiated by a burglar zone or a
24-hour zone, and when a user initiates a “panic alarm”.
When initiated by a fire zone (smoke is detected) ON - ON ON - pause - ON - ON - ON - pause - ........ and so on.
If there is nobody around to disarm the system upon alarm
and a zone remains "open", the siren will sound for the
time duration set by the installer - then will stop. The strobe
light keeps flashing until the system is disarmed.

4. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL (not to be used in UL-listed systems)
4.1 Control Options and Pushbuttons
The system allows manual or automatic remote control of up
to 15 electrical devices (lights, radio/TV, tape recorders, fans
etc.). This requires an optional X-10 controller and up to 15
remote X-10 units (see Fig. 2). ON / OFF control codes are
communicated via the regular household electrical wiring.
Besides the X-10 units (numbered 1 to 15), it is possible to
control a device connected to the PGM output (unit # 00).
While programming the system, your installer determines
ON and OFF times for each remote controlled device. He
also determines which zone sensors will switch the remote
controlled appliances on and off. However, the decision
whether the remote controlled appliances will respond
as programmed is up to you (see next table).
Key
10
Function
Manual activation of lights or other household
electrical appliances.
Manual deactivation of lighting or other
household electrical appliances.
Selecting the active automatic control method:
Sensors: Appliances are controlled by
sensors (assigned by the installer for this).
Timer: Appliances are controlled by timer (ON
and OFF times are defined by the installer).
Both: Appliances are controlled by sensors
as well as by a timer.
Examples of benefits gained by automatic remote control:
• Timer Control. When you are away, the timed activation
/ de-activation of lights, radio and TV simulates the
presence of people at home, to deter potential burglars.
• Zone Control. Upon disturbance of a perimeter zone,
lights are switched on and a tape recorder starts
running, playing back a series of dog barks.
Note: Automatic activation and deactivation of electrical
appliances depend also on the Scheduler setup (see par. 7.16).

5.2 Reviewing Trouble Information
A. Trouble Indications
If TRBL flashes in the display, the TROUBLE indicator
illuminates, and 3 beeps are sounded once per minute,
you will have to investigate the system in order to find out
the origin and type of trouble at hand. Trouble types are:
SENSOR / KEYFOB / WIRELESS COMMANDER TROUBLES
• Inactivity - No radio signals have been received from a
particular sensor / wireless commander (if its supervision
feature has been enabled) during a pre-defined period.
• Low battery - The battery in a sensor, keyfob or
wireless commander is near the end of its useful life.
• "Clean me" - The fire detector must be cleaned.
• Gas trouble - Gas detector failure.
• Siren AC failure - There is no power to the siren.
• X-10 trouble - An activation command was sent to a
two-way X-10 unit but the command implementation
confirmation (acknowledgement) was not received.
GSM TROUBLES (if used)
• GSM AC failure - No power to GSM unit.
• GSM low battery - GSM battery voltage is low.
• GSM tamper- Someone tampered with the GSM unit.
• GSM line fail - GSM telephone line failure.
• GSM net fail - GSM network failure.
• RSSI low - The GSM received signal strength is low.
• GSM modem off - The GSM unit does not operate.
• GSM communication fail - There is no communication
(RS-232 format) between ABBRA and GSM unit.
SYSTEM TROUBLES
• AC Supply Failure - There is no power and the system
is working on backup battery power (this trouble is
reported 5 minutes after its occurrence).
• System Jammed - A radio-frequency signal is blocking
communication channel of sensors and control panel.
• Communication failure - A message could not be sent
to the central monitoring station or to a private telephone
(or a message was sent but was not acknowledged).
• CPU low battery - The backup battery within the control
panel is weak and must be replaced (see Para. 9.1).
• CPU tamper - The control panel is being tampered with.
• Fuse Trouble - The siren fuse is burnt out.
IMPORTANT! If the trouble beeps bother you, disarm the
system again (even though it is already disarmed). This
will cancel the trouble beeps for 4 hours.
B. Investigating Trouble Sources
In a state of trouble, a flashing TRBL message is
displayed as shown in the following examples:
READY
HH:MM
(alternating)
READY
TRBL
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
NOT READY

You can review the current troubles one by one, by
clicking the VIEW/SELECT button.
EXAMPLE: The kitchen sensor - zone No. 9 - has been
inactive and the living room sensor - zone No. 15 - has
reported a low battery. However, these troubles do not
prevent the system from being “ready to arm”.

To read status information - memory data, open zones and
trouble sources (in this order) - click the <VIEW/SELECT>
button repeatedly. The memory content will be displayed
first, in the same manner shown in Para. 5.1. If the system is
not ready, open zone information will follow in the same
manner as shown in Para 2.2. Trouble sources will be
displayed last, in the same manner shown in Para. 5.2.
5.4 Correcting Trouble Situations
The trouble indications (illuminated TROUBLE indicator and
flashing TRBL message) are cleared once you eliminate
the cause for trouble. If you do not know how to cope
with a trouble situation, report it to your installer and
seek his advice.
INACTIVITY: Once an inactive sensor or wireless
commander renews its periodical transmissions, the
inactivity trouble no longer exists and will no longer be
indicated by the control panel.
LOW BATTERY: Upon replacing the battery in a wireless
device in a keyfob or in a wireless commander that reported
a low battery, the next transmission made by the relevant
sensor will include a “battery restored” message, and “low
battery” will no longer be indicated by the control panel.
SYSTEM TROUBLE: Correction of any one of the system
troubles is automatically sensed by the control panel, and
the trouble indication is cleared accordingly.

6. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
6.1 Looking after People Left at Home
An important characteristic of the ABBRA is its ability to
function in a mode contrary to the usual behavior of an
alarm system. When the system is in the disarmed state
(or even when armed “HOME” with perimeter protection
only), it can keep track of in-house activity and will report
lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of
motion within predetermined time limits.
To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer to
program a specific time limit beyond which lack of motion
will be reported as a “not active” alert.
To make things clear, let us assume that an elderly, sick or
handicapped person is left unattended in a protected site.
This person, disabled or sick as he may be, will not stay
entirely still for hours. It is only natural that even while
being asleep he will turn over in his bed from time to time.
He might also wander into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to
the bathroom for other necessities. Upon doing so, the
bedroom, bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will
detect his movement.
If, for example, the “lack of motion” time limit is set by your
installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will carry out a 6hour “countdown”.
If motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame, the
countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual 6-hour
clock will be “reset”) and no alert message will be sent out.
If no motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame in any
interior zone, the control panel will send a “not-active”
alert message to the central monitoring station or to
private telephones designated by the installer.
IMPORTANT! In addition, you may provide the person
confined to interiors with a single-button transmitter for
distress situations - see Para. 6.2.
6.2 Emergency Calls for Help
(not to be used in UL-listed systems)
Suppose the disabled person discussed in Para. 6.1
above has an accident such as falling in the bathtub
without being able to get up. It might take hours before the
“No Active” alert is sent out, but he (or she) must be
assisted much sooner.
Even though the odds for such an accident are not high, it
is advisable to provide the disabled person with a
miniature, single-button pendant-type or wristwatch-type
transmitter. Pressing the button on this transmitter will
cause the ABBRA to send an “emergency call” to the
central monitoring station or to private telephones
designated by the installer.
To make this possible, ask your installer to define one of
the 28 zones of the ABBRA as an emergency zone. Then,
obtain one of the transmitters listed below and link this
transmitter’s ID code to the emergency zone.
Compatible distress transmitters are (see Fig. 5):
MCT-201 - pendant-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-211 - wristwatch-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-101 - pocket-type (not listed by UL)

The system will start to function in the "LISTEN IN" mode,
letting you hear the sounds within your residence for 50
seconds. If the person under surveillance happens to
speak or cry then, you will hear this. You can switch the
system to Listen-In, Speak Out or Full Duplex, as shown
in the next table.
13
Command
Key

[6]
Note: To prolong the communication session by 50
seconds, press [3], [1] or [6] again, as required.
* The 2-way communication can be terminated by anyone
close to the ABBRA, by disarming the system.
Remark Regarding Listen-in & Speak-out modes
Listen-in & Speak-out modes allow one way speech at a
time. Back and forth exchange of uninterrupted speech
between two parties is a method normally used in military,
commercial and amateur radio communication. Once you
finish talking you should say “Go Ahead” or “Over” and then
switch from speak-out to listen in. When the person at
home finishes talking he should also say “Over”, as a cue to
you to switch back from Listen-in to speak out.
EXAMPLE:
You (at remote telephone): [1], “Hey, George, can
you hear me? Are you in any trouble? Over”.... [3]
Person at home: “Yes, I am. I had a dizzy spell while
trying to get out of bed and fell on the floor. I am unable to
get up and my thigh hurts. Can you help me? Over”...
You (at remote telephone): [1], “Sure, I will send
someone right away, stay put - over”..... [3].
Person at home: “Thanks, please hurry, over”.
You (at remote telephone): [1], “All right, over and
out”..... [ ] 9] [9] (END OF SESSION)
Important! If you wish to exit the two-way communication
mode and execute another command, just press [ ] and
then key your user code followed by the command (see
“keying sequences” in Para. 6.3 B above).
6.4 Reporting to Private Telephone
control
panel
The ABBRA can be programmed by the installer for
selective transmission of messages to private telephone
subscribers. Messages are divided by type into 3 groups:
Group
Events Reported
Fire, Burglary, Panic, Tamper
1
Arming AWAY, Arming HOME, Disarming
2
No-activity, Emergency, Latchkey
3
Group 1 has the highest priority and group 3 has the
lowest priority.
When the called party answers a call initiated by the
ABBRA, he will hear a verbal message composed of the
“house identity” and the type of event that occurred. For
example, once smoke is detected in the Smith residence,
the message will be:
[The Smith Residence - Fire Alarm].
If a person under surveillance in the Watkins residence
has been inactive, the message will be:
[The Watkins Residence - No Activity].
The called party must acknowledge the message (as
explained later on), but if he does not respond, the
message will be transmitted repeatedly as many times as
possible within a 45-second time limit. When the 45
seconds are up, the ABBRA will disengage the line and
call the next private telephone number on its list.
The called party can acknowledge the message by
pressing a key on the telephone keypad, as follows.
14
Command
Key
Acknowledge only: The ABBRA disengages the
2
line and considers the event duly reported.
Acknowledge and listen-in: The protected site is
3
“bugged” for sound for 50 seconds. The called party
may prolong the listening session by pressing [3]
again before the ABBRA disengages the line, or by
pressing [1] to speak.
Acknowledge and speak out: The called party
1
may speak for 50 seconds to whoever is in the
protected site. The called party may prolong the
“speak out” session by pressing [1] again before
the ABBRA disengages the line, or by pressing [3]

ABBRA will issue a verbal report of system status.
For example:
[Disarm - ready to arm] or
[Disarm - back door open] or
[Disarm - alarm in memory].
6.5 Remote Control by SMS
ABBRA system with GSM unit can respond to SMS
commands from any cellular telephone, only if the “REM
ACCESS ON” command was pre-selected by the system
installer.
The various SMS commands are detailed in the following
table (the detailed SMS message sending process is
described in the cellular telephone user’s guide). In this
table, “<code>” means 4-digit user code and blank space
simply means blank space.
SMS Command List

DE5467NAU
6.6 Reporting by SMS
This option is applicable only if the GSM unit is installed.
The ABBRA system can send SMS messages to a
registered SMS telephones (up to 4). (The SMS telephone
registration is preselected by the system installer).
The reported SMS messages are quite clear and selfexplanatory and therefore are not detailed in this guide.
Example of the reported SMS messages:
• JOHN’S HOME
**AWAY**
• JOHN’S HOME
**DISARM**
• JOHN’S HOUSE
ABBRA: LOW BATTERY
GARAGE: LOW BATTERY
• JOHN’S HOUSE
STATUS MESSAGE 01
(Event list is displayed)
Note
Status messages can be sent only to a calling telephone
whose identity number is not blocked by the user!
6.7 Reporting Messages to a Pager
control
panel
PAGER
M
Since the ABBRA can be programmed to report events to a
pager, the user of the pager must be informed on how to
interpret the numerical message that his pager displays.
Communication with a pager takes place as follows:
• The ABBRA dials the pager’s phone number, waits 5
seconds and sends the numerical message.
• The message transmitted by the ABBRA to the pager is
actually a string of digits, as follows:
[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX] [YYY] [0ZZ#]
Zone or
Pager’s PIN No. - Up to 16 digits Event
Type User No.
Programmed by the Installer
Figure 6. Pager Message Structure
The person receiving the message sees only the “YYY 0ZZ#” part of the message, which he can interpret by
using the following legend:
Events types (YYY) are coded as follows:
Event
Code
Event
Code
Alarm
919
Fire
515
Trouble
818
Close
101
Emergency
717
Open
102
Panic
616
Latchkey
103
ZZ is the zone number in which the event occurred, or the
user number in case of Close, Open and Latchkey events.
Example 1: Message reads “919-003”:
This means an alarm occurred in Zone No. 3.
Example 2: Message reads “101-008”:
This means the system was closed (armed) by user No. 8.
6.8 Conducting a Walk Test
The walk test is an indispensable operation by which you
verify that all detectors function properly, without disturbing
the neighbors with loud sirens. The test must be
performed at least once a week, and should include all
detectors in all zones.
Note: During the test period, 24-hour zones will not cause
an alarm if violated, but a fire zone will function normally.
A typical test will take place as follows:
A. Press the test button (
).
B. The display will prompt you for your user code:
ENTER CODE
___
C. Enter your code. The siren will sound for 2 seconds and
the display will change to:
TESTING
D. Walk throughout the protected area and make sure you
trigger every detector with no exception (move across
the field of view of motion detectors and open/close
doors and windows). Each time a detector is triggered:
The “Happy Tune” will sound,
The zone name and number will be displayed briefly,
EXAMPLE 1: You triggered a motion detector in the
living room (zone 11). The display will show:
LIVING ROOM
Z11 Violated
After 5 seconds the display will revert to:
TESTING
EXAMPLE 2: You opened a window in the guest room
(zone 13). The display will show:
GUEST ROOM
Z13 Open
After 5 seconds the display will revert to:
TESTING
SELECT
E. When done, click the button repeatedly. The
display will show the test results, zone after zone, in
ascending numerical order. For example:
GUEST ROOM
(alternating)
Z13 OK
or: “Z13 NOT OK” if there was no response from Z13.
. To quit the test mode,
F. To resume testing, click
. The display will then read:
click
<SELECT> TO EXIT
G. Click
SELECT
. The display will revert to its normal state.
7. USER SETTINGS
7.1 What are the Settings You Need?
The installer provides you a ready-to-use alarm system,
but a few settings and adjustments will still be needed.
Note: Although the user settings are your responsibility,
you may request your installer to perform them for you
(except for the user codes, which you would like to keep
secret).
DE5467NAU
The user settings include:
• Bypassing zones - determining which zones will be
bypassed (disabled) during the present disarm period and
the next armed period.
• Reviewing the bypass list - "show bypass" - displaying
the numbers and names of bypassed zone one by one.
• Recalling the last bypassing scheme - "recall bypass" re-using the previous bypassing scheme, which becomes
suspended after disarming but is still saved in the ABBRA
memory.
15
• Programming the 4 telephone numbers* - determining
the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th telephone numbers to which the
system will report event messages that were defined by
the system installer.
• Setting user codes* - programming a security code for
yourself and additional 7 codes for other system users.
Codes 5 through 8 are “Latchkey” user codes (see Para.
2.9 for additional details).
• Enrolling keyfob transmitters* - teaching the ABBRA system
to recognize the ID code of each keyfob transmitter (multi-button,
SecureCode type, wireless transmitter), so that the ABBRA
can respond to commands transmitted by them.
• Setting voice options* - Enabling or disabling verbal
announcements (prompts).
• Auto arm option* - enabling or disabling automatic
arming (at a predefined time).
• Setting auto arm time - selecting automatic arming
time.
• Using squawk option* - enabling/disabling LOW/MID/HI
squawk (short siren sound) upon arming and disarming. All
the options are applicable for wireless siren. For wired
siren, refer to LOW, MID and HI options as "squawk
enable".
• Setting the time and time format* - adjusting the builtin clock to show the correct time and time format.
• Setting the date and date format* - adjusting the builtin calendar date and date format.
• Setting the scheduler* - setting schedule for devices
start/stop activation.
* This option can be accessed only if master user code
has been entered.

guide along the user settings process, instead of going
through the step-by-step instructions.
7.3 Bypassing Zones
(Not to be used in UL- listed systems)
A. General Guidance
You can program the ABBRA to exclude (bypass) selected
zones, regardless of whether these zones are "functional"
(undisturbed) or "open" (disturbed). Bypassing permits
free movement of people within certain zones although the
system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove
from service faulty zones that require repair work. Fire
zones can not be bypassed.
Remember – zone bypassing compromises security!
Zone bypassing must be carried out while the system is in
the disarmed state.
Note: Zones will be bypassed throughout one disarm-arm
period only. Disarming the system after arming will
suspend the entire bypassing scheme, which can be
recalled later, if so desired.
B. Bypassing Procedure
Having entered your user code successfully (see Para.
7.2), the display will read:
SET
If at this point you click <VIEW/SELECT>, the number,
state and name of the first zone will be automatically
displayed. Three states are possible:
• Open: The zone is not secured - you can bypass it if you
do not wish or know how to solve the problem just now.
• Bypassed: The zone is presently bypassed (you
bypassed it before but haven't armed the system yet).
• Functional: If there is nothing wrong with the zone, its
state is described as "Functional".
Let us assume that Zone 1 is "open" and you wish to
bypass it, and the rest of the zones are functional.

clicking <AWAY> will get you back to <SELECT> TO EXIT.
7.5 Recalling the Last Bypass Scheme
Arming the alarm system with several zones in the
bypassed state is in fact "partial arming". An identical
partial arming may be repeated by recalling the last
bypassing scheme (that was suspended and memorized
upon disarming the system).
Having entered your user code successfully (see Para.
7.2), the display will read:

CODES
User Code 1 replaces the factory default master user
code, and should be assigned to the master user of the
system. This code can not be erased.
User Codes 2, 3 and 4 can be assigned to additional
users - family members, co-workers etc.
Codes 5 through 8 are assigned to “Latchkey Users” (see
Para. 2.9 for an explanation of the latchkey mode).
CAUTION! Code “0000” is not valid! Do not use it.
Note: The duress code set by the installer (2580 by
default) cannot be selected as a normal user code. Any
attempt to program it will be rejected by the ABBRA.

7.8 Enrolling Keyfob Transmitters
Keyfob transmitters are multi-button wireless units of the
CodeSecure™ type. Eight system users carry keyfob
transmitters to exercise better, quicker and safer system
functions control. Your control panel must recognize the
unique identification code (ID) of each such keyfob to
respond to commands transmitted by them.
Note: For UL installations where the model MCT-234
keyfob is used, the voice/speaker on the ABBRA shall
be enabled.
Before anything else, gather up all keyfob units you intend
to enroll, and make sure they all have batteries installed.
Keyfob transmitter enrolling involves the following steps:
A. Having entered your Master User Code successfully
(see Para. 7.2), Click the NEXT ITEM button
(repeatedly, if necessary) until the display will read:
ENROLL
KEYFOB
B. Click <VIEW/SELECT>. The display will read:
Keyfob No:
_
C. Suppose that the Keyfob you are about to enroll is to be
designated as Keyfob No. 5. Assuming that memory
location No. 5 is free - no keyfob has yet been enrolled
to it - click the <5> key. The display will change to:
Keyfob No:
5
The clear space at the far right tells you that the
memory location is free.
D. Click <VIEW/SELECT>. The display will prompt you to
initiate a transmission from the chosen keyfob:
TRANSMIT NOW
E. Initiate a transmission from the chosen keyfob by
pressing any one of its pushbuttons. In response, the
“Happy Tune” (- - - –––) will sound and the display will
change to:
Keyfob No:
5
A dark box will appear at the far right, indicating that the
chosen Keyfob has been enrolled as Keyfob No. 5.
Note: If the same keyfob is already enrolled elsewhere,
the “Happy Tune” will sound twice in succession.
DE5467NAU
F. From this point on, you may continue in several
different directions:
• If you wish to enroll another keyfob, select the
desired number by:
- Clicking <NEXT ITEM>to go up (6 7 8.....)
- Clicking <BACK> to go down (4 3 2.....)
- Clicking <HOME>
<keyfob #>.
• To return to the main menu, click <AWAY>. This will
bring back the display:
<SELECT> TO EXIT
You may now review and select any other mode on the
User menu (by clicking <NEXT ITEM> or <BACK>).
7.9 Deleting Keyfob
Occupied keyfob memory locations must be cleared
(enrolled ID must be deleted) before enrolling a new ID. To
delete an existing ID, proceed as follows:
A. Select the desired memory location, as described in the
previous par. 7.8, steps A-C. If, for example, you
selected keyfob No. 5, the display will read:
Keyfob No.
5
B. Click <VIEW/SELECT>. The display will change to:
<OFF> to delete
C. Click <OFF>. The display will change to:
Keyfob No.

8. READING THE EVENT LOG
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.
ENTER CODE _ _ _ _
(Enter 4-digit
master user code)
LIST OF EVENTS

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
<VIEW/SELECT> 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 user code.
Should you wish to get an overall view of using the
log, refer to Figure 9. The flow chart may even serve
as your only guide to using the event log, instead of
going through the written step-by-step procedure.

B. Enter the current master user code. If the code is
correct, the “Happy Tune“ will sound and the display
will read:
LIST OF EVENTS
Important! Entering an incorrect code 5 times in a row will
initiate a 30-second penalty lockout of the keypad.
C. Click <VIEW/SELECT>. The latest event will be shown.
Suppose that the latest event was an alarm in zone 13.
The display will now read:

The two displays will be shown alternately until you
click <VIEW/SELECT> again to move to the next
event, or until the event log times out (4 minutes).
D. Click <VIEW/SELECT> as many times as necessary to
read all the data you need.
To quit the event log:
Click <HOME> or <AWAY> from anywhere within the log. The display will read:

9. MAINTENANCE
9.1 Replacing the Backup Battery
The ABBRA uses regular electrical supply, but
incorporates backup 7.2/9.6V battery pack (see sticker on
battery cover). It is important to replace it immediately
upon receiving the following trouble message when
reviewing system troubles (see Para. 5.2B):
CPU LOW BATTERY
1
Open
door
2
Remove screw&
battery cover and
insert battery pack
Figure 10. Battery Replacement
Note: Removal of the cover shown in step 2 will start a
“tamper” alarm - the trouble indicator will light and both
“memory” and “trouble” will flash in the display window. If
you interrogate the system at this stage by clicking the
<VIEW/SELECT> button, “CPU TAMPER ALARM” and
“CPU TAMPER OPEN” will be displayed, in addition to
“CPU LOW BATTERY”.
With correctly inserted fresh batteries and tight closure of the
lid, the TROUBLE indicator should extinguish. The “MEMORY”
message will continue blinking in the display (caused by the
“tamper” alarm you triggered). Clear it by arming the system
and disarming it as soon as the exit delay starts.
9.2 Replacing Wireless Devices Batteries
The wireless sensors supplied with your system are
powered by high-capacity lithium batteries that last several
years, depending on the number of times the sensor is
triggered into transmission.
However, if and when a battery becomes weak, the sensor
itself sends a “low battery” message to the control panel,
and a low battery trouble message is displayed together
with the zone information (see Para. 5.2).
The keyfob transmitters used to control the system are
powered by an alkaline battery that lasts about one year if
you do not press a button more than 10 times a day.
Battery exhaustion is clearly evident by flashing of the
transmitter’s red indicator while the button is pressed
(instead of lighting steadily).
When a low battery indication appears for the first time, it
may be considered as a pre-warning. It normally gives you
ample time (about 30 days) to obtain a new battery and
replace the old one, and the detector or keyfob unit will be
fully operational throughout this period. However, to be on
the safe side, it is advisable not to wait that long.
Use the battery specified in the detector’s own
installation instructions. If you do not have the
instructions, seek the advice of your installer or ask him
to replace the battery in the specific device that sent the
low battery message.
The Wireless Commander is powered by a long life 3 V
Lithium battery. If the battery is weak when reading the
ABBRA event log the display will read, for example, "C01
Low Battery" (meaning there is a low battery condition in
the wireless commander #01), and the message "remote
commander" will be heard.
For replacing the wireless commander battery, refer to the
MCM-140+ Wireless Commander user guide.
After battery replacement, the detector unit will send a
“battery restored” signal to the control panel, and the “low
battery” message will be cleared.
9.3 Periodic Testing
The components of your security system are designed to be
maintenance-free as much as possible. Nevertheless, it is
mandatory to perform a “walk test” at least once a week and
after an alarm event to verify that all system detectors
function properly. Proceed as described in Para. 6.8, and
If there is any problem, notify your installer at once.
9.4 Cleaning the Control Panel
The control panel may occasionally get stained if touched
with greasy fingers, and may accumulate dust after a long
period of use. Clean it only with a soft cloth or sponge
moistened lightly with a mixture of water and mild
detergent, and then wipe it dry.
The use of abrasives of any kind is strictly forbidden. Also
never use solvents such as kerosene, acetone or thinner.
These will certainly ruin the external finish and damage the
transparency of the top window.
10. PERFORMANCE LIMITS
Although the alarm control system you purchased is highly
reliable, it does not guarantee protection from burglary and
fire hazards. Even the most advanced systems can be
defeated or might occasionally fail to warn. Some of the
reasons for this are:
Sloppy maintenance: If the system is used over a long
period of time without testing, a key element such as a
detector or a siren might go wrong without any visible or
audible signs of failure. If a low battery warning is
neglected, there will be no backup power to keep the
system operational during a power outage.
22
Power failures: In case of prolonged absence from the
protected site, the mains supply may suddenly fail (an earth
leakage protection relay may trip, disconnecting the mains
supply). After such an event, the alarm system will draw
power from the backup battery, until all reserve power is
exhausted, leaving the premises without protection.
Telephone line trouble: Telephone lines may be
disconnected or short circuited. With the telephone line
"down", your alarm system will not be able to report events
to the central station.
DE5467NAU
Sirens do not always wake up sound sleepers: Sirens
and bells installed outside or far from bedrooms are not likely
to awaken people who are sound asleep behind closed doors
inside the protected area or in adjacent buildings.
The system is sometimes defeated: With sufficient
technical know-how, intruders may find a way to defeat
various types of sensor or disconnect warning devices.
Intruders may also take advantage of unprotected
openings and skylights, or even enter forcibly at
unpredictable spots.
Smoke detectors have their limits: In many cases,
smoke detectors fail to warn on time because the fire
started at a different level of the house, or too far away
from the detector.
All this gives sufficient proof that even with a good
alarm system installed, there is still need for life and
property insurance. In addition, users should test their
alarm systems at regular intervals, to make sure that
malfunctions are detected before a true alarm event
occurs.
APPENDIX A. GLOSSARY
This list of terms is arranged in alphabetical order. Any
term indicated by cursive (italic) letters within the
explanatory text can be looked up separately.
Abort Period: When an alarm is initiated, the internal
sounder is activated first for a limited period of time which is
the abort period set by the installer. If you cause an alarm
accidentally, you can disarm the system within the abort
period before the real sirens start and before the alarm is
reported to the remote responders.
Alarm: There are 2 kinds of alarm:
Loud alarm - both internal and external sirens blare out
constantly and the control panel reports the event by
telephone.
Silent alarm - the sirens remain silent, but the control panel
reports the event by telephone.
A state of alarm is caused by:
• Motion detected by a motion detector
• Change of state detected by a magnetic contact detector - a
closed window or door is opened
• Detection of smoke by a smoke detector
• Tampering with any one of the detectors
• Pressing the two emergency buttons simultaneously (panic)
Arming: Arming the alarm system is an action that prepares it
to sound an alarm if a zone is “violated” by motion or by
opening a door or window, as the case may be. The control
panel may be armed in various modes (see AWAY, HOME,
INSTANT and LATCHKEY).
AWAY: This type of arming is used when the protected site is
vacated entirely. All zones, interior and perimeter alike, are
protected.
Chime Zones: Allow you to keep track of activity in the
protected area while the alarm system is in the disarmed
state. Whenever a chime zone is "opened", the buzzer beeps
twice. The buzzer doesn't beep, however, upon closing the
zone (return to normal). Residences can use this feature to
annunciate visitors or look after children. Businesses can use
it to signal when customers enter the premises or when
personnel enter restricted areas.
Note: Your installer will never designate a 24-hour zone or a
fire zone as a chime zone, because both zone types actuate
an alarm if disturbed while the system is in the disarmed
state.
Although one zone or more are designated as chime zones,
you can still enable or disable the chime function.
Control Panel: The control panel is a cabinet that
incorporates the electronic circuitry and microprocessor that
control the alarm system. It collects information from various
sensors, processes it and responds in various ways. It also
includes the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad,
display, sounder and loudspeaker.
Disarming: The opposite of arming - an action that restores
the control panel to the normal standby state. In this state,
only fire and 24-hour zones will sound an alarm if violated, but
a “panic alarm” may also be initiated.
DE5467NAU
Disturbed Zone: A zone in a state of alarm (this may be
caused by an open window or door or by motion in the field of
view of a motion detector). A disturbed zone is considered
“not secured”.
Forced Arming: When any one of the system zones is
disturbed (open), the alarm system cannot be armed. One
way to solve this problem is to find and eliminate the cause for
zone disturbance (closing doors and windows). Another way
to deal with this is to impose forced arming - automatic deactivation of zones that are still disturbed upon termination of
the exit delay. Bypassed zones will not be protected
throughout the arming period. Even if restored to normal
(closed), bypassed zones will remain unprotected until the
system is disarmed.
Permission to “force arm” is given or denied by the installer
while programming the system.
HOME: This type of arming is used when people are present
within the protected site. A classic example is night-time at
home, when the family is about to retire to bed. With HOME
arming, perimeter zones are protected but interior zones are
not. Consequently, motion within interior zones will be ignored
by the control panel, but disturbance of a perimeter zone will
cause an alarm.
Instant: You can arm the system AWAY-INSTANT or HOMEINSTANT, thereby canceling the entry delay for all delay
zones for the duration of one arming period.
For example, you may arm the control panel in the HOMEINSTANT mode and remain within the protected area. Only
perimeter protection is active, and if you do not expect
somebody to drop in while the system is armed, alarm upon
entry via the main door is an advantage.
To disarm the system without causing an alarm, use your
control keypad (which is normally accessible without
disturbing a perimeter zone) or use a keyfob transmitter.
Latchkey: The Latchkey mode is a special arming mode in
which designated "latchkey users" will trigger a "latchkey
message" to be sent to a telephone or a pager when they
disarm the system.
For example, if a parent wants to be sure that their child has
returned from school and disarmed the system. Latchkey
arming is only possible when the system is armed in the
AWAY mode.
Magnetic Contact Detector, Wireless: A Magnet- controlled
switch and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared
housing. The detector is mounted on doors and windows to
detect changes in state (from closed to open and vice versa).
Upon sensing that a door or window is open, the detector
transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an
“alarm” signal and various other status signals to the control
panel. The control panel, if not armed at that time, will
consider the alarm system as “not ready for arming” until it
receives a “restored” signal from the same detector.
23
Motion Detector, Wireless: A passive Infrared motion sensor
and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing.
Upon sensing motion, the detector transmits its unique
identification code, accompanied by an alarm signal and various
other status signals to the control panel. After transmission, it
stands by to sense further motion.
Non-Alarm Zone: Your installer can designate a zone for
roles other than alarm. For instance, a motion detector
installed in a dark stairway may be used to switch on lights
automatically when someone crosses the dark area. Another
example is a miniature wireless transmitter linked to a zone
that controls a gate opening mechanism.
Quick Arming: Arming without a user code. The control panel
does not request your user code when you press one of the
arming buttons. Permission to use this arming method is given
or denied by the installer while programming the system.
Remote Responder: A responder can be either a professional
service provider to which the home or business owner
subscribes (a central monitoring station) or a family
relation/friend who agrees to look after the protected site during
absence of its occupants. The control panel reports events by
telephone to both kinds of responders.
Restore: When a detector reverts from the state of alarm to the
normal standby state, it is said to have been “restored”.
A motion detector restores automatically after detection of
movement, and becomes ready to detect again. This kind of
“restore” is not reported to the remote responders.
A magnetic contact detector restores only upon closure of the
protected door or window. This kind of “restore” is reported to
the remote responders.
Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a
wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. Upon
detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique
identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and various
status signals to the control panel. Since the smoke detector is
linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm is initiated.
User Codes: The ABBRA is designed to obey your
commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid
security access code. Unauthorized people do not know this
code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the
system is bound to fail. Some operations, however, can be
carried out without a user code as they do not degrade the
security level of the alarm system.
Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under
supervision of a specific detector. During programming, the
installer allows the control panel to learn the detector’s identity
code and links it to the desired zone. Since the zone is
distinguished by number and name, the control panel can
report the zone status to the user and register in its memory
all the events reported by the zone detector. Instant and delay
zones are “on watch” only when the control panel is armed,
and other (24-hour) zones are “on watch” regardless of
whether the system is armed or not.
