24 ABBRA INSTALLATION 
Go over the table in Appendix B column by column. If, for 
instance, the “BY ARM AWAY” column has “X”s marked in 
the rows pertaining to units 1, 5 and 15 - then arm AWAY 
the system and verify that the appliances controlled by 
these units are actually activated upon arming. 
Continue in the same manner in the following columns, 
always creating the state or event that will activate the 
relevant units. Verify that all appliances are activated as 
programmed. 
IMPORTANT! Before testing “BY TIMER” and “BY 
ZONE”, make sure that these forms of control are 
permitted - press 
repeatedly and verify that the 
display shows: 
  BY TIMER ON    
and: 
  BY SENSOR ON   
A dark box at the extreme right means that these 
functions are enabled. 
The easiest way for test timed activation is to select the 
ninth item in the installer’s menu (”10. USER SETTINGS”) 
and set the system clock a few minutes before the relevant 
“start time”. Do not forget to return the clock to the correct 
time after completion of this test. 
5.5 Emergency Transmitter Test 
Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled to an 
emergency zone (according to the list in Table A3, 
Appendix A). For example, upon pressing the transmit 
button of an emergency transmitter enrolled to zone 22, the 
display should read: 
  Z22 EMERGENCY 
(alternating)
  VIOLATED 
It is advisable to let the central station know that you are 
conducting this test, or just disconnect the telephone line 
from the Abbra during the test, to prevent false alarms. 
6. MAINTENANCE 
6.1 Dismounting the Control Panel 
A. Release the Abbra unit from its bracket, as shown in 
figure 3.2, step 1-3. 
B. Separate the Abbra unit from its bracket. 
6.2 Replacing the Backup Battery 
Replacement and first-time insertion of battery pack is 
similar (see figure 3.1). 
With fresh battery pack, correct insertion and tightened 
battery compartment lid, the TROUBLE indicator should 
extinguish. However, the “MEMORY” message will now 
blink in the display (caused by the “tamper” alarm you 
triggered when opening the battery compartment lid). Clear 
it by arming the system and immediately disarming. 
6.3  Fuse Replacement 
The Abbra has two internal fuses that have automatic 
reset. Therefore, there is no need to replace fuses. 
When overcurrent condition occurs, the fuse cuts off the 
circuit current. Upon fault current being removed, the fuse 
is automatically reset and allows current flow through the 
circuit again. 
6.4 Replacing/Relocating Detectors 
Whenever maintenance work involves replacement or re-
location of detectors, always perform a full diagnostic 
test according to par. 4.9. 
Remember!  A "poor" signal is not acceptable, as stated 
at the end of the test procedure. 
7. READING THE EVENT LOG 
Up to 100 events can be stored the event log. You can 
access this log and review the events, one by one. If the 
event log fills up completely (100 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. Access 
to the event log is provided by pressing the   key and 
not through the installer’s menu. Reading and erasing 
process of the event log is shown in the next drawing.

Figure 7 - Reading / Erasing the Event Log 
*  While the system is in normal operation mode, press   to review the event log. 
** Event is displayed in 2 parts, for example, "Z13 alarm" then "09/02/00 3:37 P". The two displays will be shown 
alternately until pressing OK again to move to the next event or until the end of the event log (4 minutes). 
*** Applicable only if installer code is entered.
