Chapter One: Introduction and Overview
This user manual explains all you need to know about your infinite security system and
provides step-by-step instructions for all the infinite’s user functions. In addition to the
explanation you will receive from your installer, we urge you to read this manual so that
you can take full advantage of your system’s features. Keep this manual in an accessible
location for future reference.
The infinite system has many features in order to suit a wide range of applications. This
manual outlines all of these features but it is likely that there are options that are not
relevant to your system. If you have any questions regarding the availability of the
features described in the manual, please ask your installer.
1.1: Security System Components
Your security system is made up of a control panel, various sensors and a number of optional
peripheral devices. This section explains the role of each component in your system.
Control Panel
The control panel 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
sensor sends a signal to the control panel indicating
that it has sensed motion on the premises. On
receiving this signal, the control panel makes the
decision to report the alarm to your monitoring service
and activate the siren.
Sensors
Sensors are the devices that protect your home, alerting the control
panel when there is a breach in security. Magnetic contacts protect
your doors and windows while motion sensors are able detect an
intruder moving across its field of view. Additionally, smoke sensors
can be installed to provide an early warning in the event of a fire.
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 panic
alarms and various home automation functions.
Keypads
The keypads enable you to communicate with the control panel 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
While the control panel includes a built-in internal siren, it is possible
that you also have an external siren installed. The sirens are
sounded during certain alarm conditions serving to warn you and
ward off intruders.
-4-
1.2: System Monitoring
When an event occurs within the system, the control panel 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 sensor detects.
,
The control panel 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.
1.3: 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.
1.4: Cellular Monitoring and Control
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. You can also control the appliances controlled by the Home
Automation feature using SMS commands and receive confirmation when the command
is received.
1.5: Two-Way Audio
The infinite’s built-in microphone and speaker can be used for a number of Two-Way
Audio features. These features allow you to contact your home directly in the event of an
alarm or simply to check the premises when you are away.

Chapter Three: Arming and Disarming
Arming can be defined as activating the system. When the system is armed, it monitors
the zones that are protected by the sensors. If a sensor detects an intrusion, the system
generates an alarm.
Certain sensors, such as smoke sensors, are always active regardless of system status.
3.1: Arming the System
Three arming modes are available: Full, 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
This arming method enables you to arm a section of your home while
remaining on a different part of the premises.
Perimeter Arming
Perimeter arming enables you to activate the perimeter zones (the
windows and doors of your home) enabling you to move freely within
the protected area.
Before arming the system, check that all doors and windows are secured so that the
system is ready for arming.
To arm the system using the keypad:
•
Press one of the three arming keys; the exit delay begins to count down. At the
end of the exit delay, the system is armed.
,
If the One-key Arming option is disabled in programming, you must enter your user code
when arming the system.
To arm the system using a keyfob:
•
Press the relevant button on your keyfob (see 2.2: Keyfobs); the exit delay
begins to count down. At the end of the exit delay, the system is armed.
Supervised Arm
Supervised Arm is an optional feature designed to supervise intrusion sensor activity
before you arm the system.
If Supervised arm is enabled in programming and the system has not received a
transmission from a sensor for a certain amount of time, all arming methods that include
that sensor shall not be available.
In this case, press to check which sensor is causing the “System Not Ready” condition.
To make the required arming method available, activate the sensor. If activating the sensor
does not help, there may be a problem with the sensor. You can bypass the faulty sensor’s
zone to allow system arming until the problem is remedied – see 7.2: Zone
Bypassing/Unbypassing.
-9-
Forced Arming
Forced arming enables you to arm when the system is not ready. For example, if a door
protected by a magnetic contact is open, you may arm the system on condition that the
door will be closed by the end of the Exit delay. If the door is still open after the exit delay
expires, an alarm is generated.
,
Forced arming is available only if the option is enabled in programming. Forced arming
may be enabled for specific zones or for the entire system.
3.2: Disarming the System
When you enter the premises, the entry delay begins
to count down. You must disarm the system within the
entry delay time to prevent the system from triggering
an alarm.

Chapter Five: Home Automation
Home Automation is an optional feature that requires an add-on expansion module.
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.
HA units can be controlled using the keypad and keyfobs 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 Chapter Seven: Advanced System Operation.
5.1: Keypad Control
Two keys on the keypad enable you to send On and Off commands to HA units. How an
HA unit reacts to the On command is determined by the installer in programming.
The HA unit can be programmed to switch on until the Off command is received or
automatically switch itself off after a pre-programmed amount of time.
To turn HA units on using the keypad:
1. Press the On key.
2. Enter the two-digit HA unit number (01-16); the chosen HA unit
switches on.
To turn HA units on using the keypad:
1. Press the Off key.

Chapter Six: Two-Way Audio
The infinite control panel offers a range of Two-Way Audio features. You may use these
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 panel automatically picks up the call and you can communicate via its built-in
microphone and speaker.
6.1: Calling your Home
You may call your home at any time in order to contact your family or check your home
while you are away. This feature is available for both 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 panel distinguish
between calls so that it knows when to pick up the relevant call. For this purpose the
infinite employs a double call method.
To make a call to the control panel 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 panel picks up and sounds two tones.
Making a Call to the Cellular Communications Module
If your system supports cellular communication, the Cellular Communications Module
has its own individual telephone number. Therefore, the double call method is not
necessary and you may call the control panel directly.
Call Procedure
To prevent unauthorized attempts to call your control panel, you must enter a user code
when calling your home – see 7.3: User Codes, Code 30.
To call your home:
1. Call the control panel either using the double call method or directly (see
above); when the control panel picks up, two tones are sounded.
2. Enter the User TWA code on your telephone.
,
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.
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.
,
4.
If using Simplex mode, the call is connected in Listen mode – see 6.5: Simplex Mode.
To disconnect before the end of the call, press “@” then “#” on your telephone.
-15-
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.
6.2: Service Call
The Service Call feature enables you to call the monitoring service by
pressing one key.
To make a Service Call:
•
Press and hold down the Service Call key for a few seconds.
,
If using Simplex mode, the call is connected in Listen mode – see 6.5: Simplex Mode.
6.3: Two-Way Audio after an Alarm
In the event of Burglary, Fire and Medical alarms, the control panel 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.
6.4: Two-Way Audio Follow-Me
This feature causes the control panel to call you in the event of an alarm so that you may
check your family and home.
When the control panel calls, you will hear two short tones when you pick up the phone.
Press any key on your telephone to answer the call.
,
If you press 9 to answer the call, the control panel simultaneously cancels the siren when
you answer the call.
If using Simplex mode, the call is connected in Listen mode – see 6.5: Simplex Mode.
6.5: 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 panel 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.

Chapter Seven: 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
arrow navigation keys ( / ) and make simple yes/no decisions using the 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

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: User TWA Code
The User TWA code is designed to enable you to communicate with the control panel at
any time. This code can only be used for this specific purpose and does not grant access
to any additional system functions such as disarming.
