INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction Overview The PowerMax Pro 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 PowerMax Pro includes an optional partition feature.
INTRODUCTION 15 ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES (CONTROLLED VIA EXISTING ELECTRICAL CABLING).
INTRODUCTION • • • • • • • Note for PowerMax Pro with Partition feature: Remote operation is performed per partition, or per user code defined for a particular partition. 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.
INTRODUCTION Note regarding the Mute Speaker button The Mute Speaker button is active only if the "Set Voice Option" function is enabled ("enable prompts" see user setting flow-chart, fig. 8). Multi-Function Transmitter Your system responds to signals sent by a 4-button (MCT- 234) or a 6-button two-way (MCT- 237) ‘keyfob’ transmitter, or by a two-way wireless keypad (MKP-150/151) - see figure 4. Both wireless keyfob transmitters are used to control the alarm system or a single predefined partition (*).
INTRODUCTION The sounds you will hear while using the control panel are: Single beep, heard whenever a key is pressed Double beep, indicates automatic return to the normal operating mode (by timeout). Three beeps, indicates a trouble event ☺ Happy Tune (- - - –––), indicates successful completion of an operation.
SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE 2. Securing the Protected Site Security-Related Pushbuttons Key Function Arming when nobody is at home Arming when people remain at home Canceling the entry delay upon arming (‘AWAY-INSTANT’ or ‘HOME-INSTANT’) Disarming the system and stopping alarms In Partition system used for Partition selection. In older versions of the PowerMax Pro used for testing. When partitioned system is not ready for arming (at least one partition zone is open), the display is N.
SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE Switching from ‘AWAY’ to ‘HOME’ Arming HOME ‘Instant’ Do not disarm the system - simply press . Since this operation reduces the security level, the PowerMax Pro will ask you to key in your master user code or user code, or present a valid proximity tag, thus making sure that you are an authorized user. If you wish to arm HOME-INSTANT, proceed as follows: PRESS ARM indicator flashes during the armed state.
SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE PRESS RESULTANT DISPLAY ENTER CODE ____ ARMING HOME ↓ (Exit delay) ↓ (To mute the buzzer) HOME Go to interior zone HH:MM To stop the alarm, press Initiating Fire Alarm (This function is disabled in ACPO compliant version). You can generate a fire alarm in disarmed & armed states, as follows: PRESS ARM indicator flashes during the armed state.
SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE PRESS RESULTANT DISPLAY CODE ____ READY HH:MM (alternating) READY MEMORY ARM indicator extinguishes. To read the alarm memory, refer to Chapter 5. The "MEMORY" message will disappear only upon re-arming the system. C.
SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE When the system is disarmed, after presenting a valid proximity tag to the control panel, the message " for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press button to immediately arm the control the panel, or wait for 3 second for system automatic AWAY arming (the message "Please exit now" will be displayed). Presenting the proximity tag once again will DISARM the system.
SPEECH AND SOUND CONTROL 3. Speech And Sound Control Speech & Sound Cont. Push-buttons The sound and speech-related functions offered by the PowerMax Pro are controlled using the built-in keypad, as detailed in the following list. For PowerMax Pro that include partition feature: Sound and speech-related features only apply to the partition(s) where the control panel is present. An activity performed via the control panel from another partition will be displayed and the LED will light.
SPEECH AND SOUND CONTROL Once the last of the boxes disappears, RECORDING ENDED will be displayed. When you release the button, the display will revert to the normal status-displaying mode, but will also indicate that a message is waiting. For example: READY HH:MM (alternating) READY MSG To check your own message, listen to it within one minute from the end of recording (see Chapter 3 Message Playback). This way the MSG indication will not be erased.
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL 4. Electrical Appliance Control Control Options and Pushbuttons Manual Switch-On 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.
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL The presently active options are shown with a dark box ( ) at the far right. To view the 2 other options click PRESS BY TIMER ON . A presently inactive option is shown without a dark box at the far right. The dark box will appear if you click while the option is displayed. A “Happy Tune” indicates successful saving of a new option.
READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA 5. Reading Alarm Memory And Trouble Data Reviewing Alarm/Tamper Memory The PowerMax Pro retains in its memory alarm and “tamper” events that occurred during the last arming period. For PowerMax Pro that includes partition option: In order to review alarm and tamper events of a specific partition, you need to select the desired partition(s), (please refer to Partition Selection Process).
READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA SYSTEM TROUBLES SYSTEM TROUBLES indicate the state of the entire system and not a specific partition. • AC Supply Failure - There is no power and the system is working on backup battery power. • 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).
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS 6. Special Functions Looking after People Left at Home An important characteristic of the PowerMax Pro 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.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS B.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS * The 2-way communication can be terminated by anyone close to the PowerMax Pro, 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 speakout to listen in.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Since the PowerMax Pro 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 PowerMax Pro dials the pager’s phone number, waits 5 seconds and sends the numerical message. • The message transmitted by the PowerMax Pro to the pager is actually a string of digits, as follows: [XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX] [YYY] [0ZZ#] Pager’s PIN No.
USER SETTINGS 7. User Settings What are the Settings You Need? The installer provides you with 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).
USER SETTINGS Bypassing Zones You can select any other item on the USER SETTINGS A. General Guidance You can program the PowerMax Pro 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 and temperature zones can not be bypassed.
USER SETTINGS 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).
USER SETTINGS Enter partition numbers (eg. for partition 2&4 enter 24) H. Click . The display will be: PARTITION 2 I. Click . The display will be: U02: 1 2 3 4 Continue the same way up to Code 8 and press to return to SET USER CODES menu. You may now select any other item on the USER SETTINGS menu or quit programming by clicking . .

USER SETTINGS Notes: 1. For 12h/24h time format selection, refer to Setting Time and Time Format below. 2. Press " " to enter A (AM), or press "#" to enter P (PM). Enabling the Squawk Option You can determine that the system will activate (or not activate) high/mid/low wireless siren sound, for a short time, upon arming (1 beep) and disarming (2 beeps), by keyfob only.
USER SETTINGS You may now select any other item on the USER SETTINGS menu or quit programming by clicking . When TO EXIT is displayed - click . . 34 Scheduler Function The Scheduler enables to start and stop activity of the desired devices. You can select the day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or daily) and then select the scheduled activity start/stop of the desired device. The process is demonstrated in "figure 8 DETAIL A".
READING THE EVENT LOG 8. Reading The Event Log Event Log Description Because of the limited display space, the event description is shown first, then the date and time. The two displays are shown alternately several to move on to an times, until you click 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.
MAINTENANCE 9. Maintenance Replacing the Backup Battery The PowerMax Pro uses regular electrical supply, but incorporates backup 9.6V battery pack (see sticker on battery cover). Upon receiving the following trouble message when reviewing system troubles (see Chapter 5 - Reviewing Trouble Information), contact your installer for instructions on how to proceed: CPU LOW BATTERY Front unit Figure 10. Battery Replacement Open battery compartment cover.
PERFORMANCE LIMITS 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.
APPENDICES 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.
APPENDICES 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 Magnetcontrolled switch and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing.
APPENDICES • • • • • • • Make sure that everyone understands the escape plan and recognizes the sound of smoke alarm. Verify that the escape routes are clear and that doors and windows can be opened easily. If windows or doors in your home have security bars, make sure that the bars have quick-release mechanisms on the inside, so that they can be opened immediately in an emergency case.
