Interface Test , ) The text that actually appears on the LCD display (italics). Note Important caution, please pay attention. -6- 1.2. Security System Components Your security system is made up of a Control System, various detectors and a number of optional peripheral devices. This section explains the role of each component in your system. Control System The Control System is the brain of the system. It communicates with all the devices connected to the system. For example, in the event of a burglary, a detector sends a signal to the Control System indicating that it has sensed motion on the premises. On receiving this signal, the Control System makes the decision to report the alarm to your monitoring service and activate the siren. Detectors Detectors are the devices that protect your home, alerting the Control System when there is a breach in security. Magnetic contacts protect your doors and windows while motion detectors with built-in image capture modules are able to detect an intruder moving across its field of view and snap an instant image as proof of intrusion. Additionally, smoke, carbon monoxide, gas leak and flood detectors can be installed to provide an early warning in the event of a fire, the presence of dangerous gases or the potential for flooding. Keyfobs Keyfobs are hand-held transmitters that are used to operate the system. Various keyfobs are available providing a number of functions. For example, arming/disarming the system, sending medical and panic alarms and various home automation functions. Keypads The keypads enable you to communicate with the Control System in order to perform a number of different functions. The main function you can perform using a keypad is to arm the system when leaving your home and to disarm on your return. Sirens and Strobes While the Control System includes a built-in internal siren, it is possible that you also have an external siren and strobes installed. The sirens are sounded and the strobes are activated during certain alarm conditions serving to warn you and ward off intruders. -7- 1.3. System Monitoring When an event occurs within the system, the Control System sends a message to your monitoring service describing the exact nature of the event. This enables the monitoring service to take the required action. System monitoring can implement either regular telephone or cellular communication. A detector detects. The Control System is alerted. An alarm is generated and the monitoring service is notified. Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies. This system is only intended to alert you in case of an emergency and should not take the place of prudent security practices or life and property insurance. 1.4. Home Automation An optional expansion module can provide you with the ability to control up to 16 individual electrical appliances or lights using the front panel keypad, wireless keypads or keyfobs. Additionally, each appliance can be programmed to be turned on and off automatically according to various schedules and system status conditions. 1.5. Self-Monitoring In addition to the ability to report to a monitoring service, the system can also send you and other users notification when an event occurs. This may be in the form of vocal messages played over the telephone or, if your system supports cellular communication, you can receive information on system status via SMS. If an alarm occurs on the premises, you are informed no matter where you are in the world. 1.6. Telephone Control DTMF Telecontrol The iConnect offers a range of “Telecontrol” features that provide remote access via the telephone. These features include remote arming/disarming, HA on/off, PGM output activation/deactivation, siren cancel and Two-Way audio via the Control System’s builtin microphone and speaker -- see Telecontrol. The Two-Way Audio features allow you to contact your home directly in the event of an alarm or simply to check the premises when you are away. -8- SMS Control Using your cellular phone, you can also send commands to the appliances controlled by the Home Automation feature using SMS and receive confirmation when the command is received. 1.7. Vocal Message Annunciation Vocal message annunciation is an optional feature that, if enabled in programming, causes the system to play short messages that indicate system status. 1.8. Web/Smartphone Access The Web/Smartphone application provides an interface to your security system from your Internet browser or Smartphone. You can perform a wide range of tasks such as arm/disarm, zone bypass, user code management and home automation control. Additionally, you can set up the contacts for whom you wish to be alerted (by email or text message) when selected events occur. The Web/Smartphone application also allows you to check your home at any time either by viewing the history of recent events that have occurred or by viewing video snapshots from PIR cameras installed on the premises. For further information, see Web User Application -9- 2. The User Interface There are several methods you can use to operate the system. Apart from the keypad on the front panel, your system may include a number of peripheral devices such as keypads and keyfobs. This chapter provides a brief introduction to each of the devices you can use to operate the system. It is important that you familiarize yourself with these devices before reading the following chapters that shall describe system operation in further detail. The front panel is the main user interface that provides you with all the functions you need to control your security system. iConnect Control System is available with the LCD front panel configuration. 2.1.

On the Status Bar below on the page you can see the current status of the system (in our example it is Disarmed and System Ready, which means that the system and all the detectors are working properly and there are no events to report). It is possible to check if there were alarms in the system. It is important to note that when you are using the Web application, the system is armed with the programmed delay Home Button Press the Home button on the Main menu to return to the Main page at any time. -25- 4.4. Arming and Disarming Figure 9: System Operation Area Page Three arming modes are available: Away, Part and Perimeter. These modes enable you to arm your system accordingly to suit different circumstances. Full Arming Full Arming activates the entire system. This arming method is used when you intend to leave your home, leaving the premises empty. Part Arming Part Arming enables you to arm a section of your home while remaining on a different part of the premises. For example, at night your family is upstairs while the area downstairs is armed. Perimeter Arming Perimeter Arming enables you to turn on the perimeter zones (the windows and doors of your home) enabling you to move freely within the protected area. Combination Arming In addition to the three arming modes, you can activate a combination of Away and Perimeter or Part and Perimeter arming modes. Before arming the system, check that all doors and windows are closed so that the system is ready for arming. System status is displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the page. If you are arming from a remote location and the system status is "Not Ready", you may temporarily bypass any zone that is causing this condition. Disarming can be regarded as turning the security system off. When the system is disarmed only zones that are defined as active 24 hours are monitored (e.g. Flood, Gas and Panic zones). -26- 4.5. Web Application Settings The Web Application Settings area offers various options including System/Web user codes, contact and password management, user interface appearance and descriptors, event log viewing and zone bypass capabilities.

Home Automation enables you to control up to 16 individual lights and appliances around the home, in this section; we shall refer to these lights and appliances as HA units and PGM output. The PGM is a programmable output that is triggered according to specific system status conditions, or by remote command sent via PSTN, GSM, Ethernet, keyfob, keypad, or Remote Programmer. HA units and the PGM programmable output can be controlled (using the keypad and keyfobs, remotely by telephone or SMS) or programmed to react to specific system status conditions. For example, an HA unit can be programmed to switch on when the system is armed or when a specific zone is triggered. Additionally, the Randomize feature is designed to switch lights on and off at night when the system is armed. This gives potential intruders the impression that the house is occupied. Scheduling options enable you to program On and Off times for each HA unit. This feature is found in the main menu. For further information on how to navigate the menu, refer to Advanced System Operation. 6.1. Keypad Control Two keys on the keypad enable you to send On and Off commands to HA units, activate and deactivate the PGM output. How HA/PGM units react to the On command is determined by the installer in programming.

For further information on keyfob button assignments refer to Keyfobs. 6.3. Telephone Control Using the Telecontrol feature, you can control HA units and PGM output remotely via the telephone. For further information on the Telecontrol features, see Telecontrol. 6.4. SMS Control If your system supports cellular communication, you can control HA units and PGM remotely via your mobile phone using a number of SMS commands. The SMS commands are designed to be entered as templates on your mobile phone. Each SMS command contains the following elements: x x x x x SMS Command Descriptor (up to 43 characters long) # (separates the descriptor from the actual command) User Code Command (0=Off, 1=On) HA Unit Number (01-16, or 30, 31 for PGM) The following example shows the format of an SMS command to switch on a water boiler controlled by HA unit 08. SMS Command Descriptor B O I L E R User Code O N # 1 2 3 On 4 1 Unit 0 8 Do not include the symbol ‘#’ in the descriptor as the system regards any text after this symbol as part of the command. The SMS Command Descriptor is optional but you must still enter the ‘#’ before the user code. SMS Confirmation Message Format After an SMS command is executed by the system, if programmed by your installer, a confirmation message may be returned to your mobile phone. This message includes the HA unit’s descriptor and the command that was sent. The following example shows the confirmation message you receive for the sample command from the previous section. B O I L E -43- R - O N 6.5. Scheduling (not relevant to PGM) The Scheduling feature allows you to set an On and Off time for each HA unit.

Telecontrol The iConnect Control System offers a range of Telecontrol features that provide remote access via the telephone. These features include Two-Way Audio, remote arming/disarming and siren cancel. Two-Way Audio You may use the Two-Way Audio features to check your home in the event of an alarm or as an alternative means of communicating with members of your family. For example, you may wish to call an elderly person who has difficulty reaching the phone. Using its Two-Way Audio features, the Control System automatically picks up the call and you can communicate via its built-in microphone and speaker. 7.1. Calling your Home You may call your home at any time in order to contact your family, operate your system or check your home while you are away. This feature is available for either regular telephone communication or cellular communication. Making a Call using a Regular Telephone When your security system shares a telephone line with other devices (e.g. telephone handsets, an answering machine or fax), it is important that the Control System distinguish between calls so that it knows when to pick up the relevant call. For this employs a double call method. purpose the iConnect To make a call to the Control System using the double call method: 1. Dial your telephone number. 2. Wait for two or three rings then hang-up. 3. Wait at least five seconds and dial the number again; on the second ring, the Control System picks up and sounds two tones. Making a Cellular Call to the System If your system supports cellular communication, it has its own individual telephone number. Therefore, the double call method is not necessary and you may call the Control System directly. -45- Call Procedure To prevent unauthorized attempts to call your Control System, you must enter a user code when calling your home – see User Codes, Code 29. To call your home: 1. Call the Control System either using the double call method or directly (see above); when the Control System picks up, two tones are sounded. 2. Enter the Telecontrol code (Code 29) on your telephone within 15 seconds. Do not enter your user code until you hear the two tones. Any digits entered before the tones are sounded are disregarded by the system. 3. A tone is sounded to indicate that the system is ready to receive commands. The following commands are available: x Press “2” for Two-Way Audio. If the TWA mode is defined as “Simplex” (see Simplex Mode), the audio channel opens in Listen mode (microphone active/speaker mute). To switch to speak mode, press “1” on your telephone. To switch back to Listen mode, press “0” on your telephone. During the TWA session, you can adjust the speaker volume using the arrow buttons. x Press “3” to fully arm the system. x Press "4XX" to turn HA unit #XX ON. x Press "430" to activate PGM output (Unit 30, 31) x Press "5XX" to turn HA unit #XX OFF. x Press "530" to deactivate PGM output (Unit 30, 31) x Press “6” to disarm the system. x Press “9” to cancel the siren. The commands “3” (Full Arm), “4” (HA/PGM On), “5” (HA/PGM Off), “6” (Disarm) and “9” (Bell Cancel) can also be executed at any time during a Two-Way Audio session. Error beeps (three tones) are sounded in case of a wrong command. To clear the last command, press “º” or “#”. 4. 5. The duration of the call is an option programmed by your installer. Ten seconds before the end of the call, two short tones are sounded. To extend the call, press “7” on your telephone. To disconnect before the end of the call, press “¹” then “#” on your telephone. Siren Muting The siren is muted during Two-Way Audio communication. At the end of the call, the siren is re-activated (if the Siren Cut-Off has not yet expired). You can cancel the reactivation of the siren by pressing “9” on your telephone during the call. -46- 7.2. Service Call The Service Call feature enables you to call the monitoring service by pressing one key. To make a Service Call: x Press and hold down the Service Call key for a few seconds. If using Simplex mode, the call is connected in Listen mode – see Simplex Mode. 7.3. Two-Way Audio after an Alarm In the event of Burglary, Fire and Emergency alarms, the Control System is able to report the events and then stay on the line. This allows the monitoring service to verify the alarm or provide assistance in the event of an emergency. 7.4. Two-Way Audio Follow-Me This feature causes the Control System to call you in the event of an alarm so that you may check your family and home. When the Control System calls, you will hear two short tones when you pick up the phone. Press "2" on your telephone to answer the call. If you press “9” to answer the call, the Control System simultaneously cancels the siren when you answer the call. If using Simplex mode, the call is connected in Listen mode – see Simplex Mode. 7.5. Simplex Mode It is possible that the Two-Way Audio features on your system are programmed to operate in “Simplex” mode. Simplex mode means that one party may speak while the other party listens. If using Simplex mode, the call is connected in Listen mode. In Listen mode, the microphone on the Control System is turned on so that you can listen in. If you want to switch to Speak mode, press “1” on your telephone. In Speak mode, the microphone is turned off and the speaker is turned on so that you can speak to the person on the other end of the line. If you want to switch back to Listen mode, press “0” on your telephone. -47- 8. Advanced System Operation Besides the basic functions described in the previous chapters, you can access additional functions via the menu. This chapter describes these functions and the menu navigation procedure. Menu Navigation Using the LCD keypad on the front panel, you can navigate through the menus using the menu navigation keys (/) and make simple yes/no decisions using the dž and ̙ keys. The availability of menu items depends on the user code that you used to enter Menu mode. Some menu items are limited to the Master code only (User 1). Certain menu items, such as system programming functions, are not intended for the user and can only be accessed by the installer. The following example explains the procedure for Event Log viewing (Master code access only). 1. 2. Press dž to enter Menu mode. Enter the Master code; the first menu item in the main menu, Cancel Report is displayed. 3. Press until 6. Event Log is displayed. 4. Press dž to enter the Event Log menu; 1.

User Codes The iConnect supports a variety of individual user codes. Each of these codes is four digits long. Most system functions require you to enter a valid user code. The ability to perform a function is defined by your user code’s authorization level. These authorization levels are pre-defined for each code as explained below. Code 1: Master Code The Master code is the highest user authorization level. With the Master code, you can edit all other user codes. Additionally, the Master code grants access to the Event Log, the Service menu and Home Automation Schedule programming. The default Master code is 1234. Change this code immediately after the system has been installed. Codes 2-19: Controlled Codes When you use a controlled user code for arming and disarming, the system notifies the monitoring service. Codes 20-25: Non-controlled Codes Non-controlled codes do not cause the system to send Arm/Disarm reports to the monitoring service. The system sends a Disarm report only if you use this code to disarm the system after an alarm occurrence. Codes 26-27: Limited Codes A Limited code enables you to issue a code that is valid for one day only. This code automatically expires 24 hours after it has been programmed. Code 28: Duress Code The Duress code is designed for situations where you are being forced to operate the system. This user code grants access to the selected operation, while sending a Duress event message to the monitoring service. Code 29: Telecontrol Code The Telecontrol code is designed to enable the user to perform a number of tasks via their telephone using DTMF commands. Using this code, the user can call their system to arm and disarm, turn on and off HA units, activate and deactivate the PGM output, cancel the siren or establish Two-Way Audio communication. This code can only be used for this specific purpose and does not grant access to any additional system functions such as disarming. -50- Editing User Codes User code editing is a feature that is available exclusively to the Master code.
