1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview The PowerMax 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.
PAGE 5
1.2 System Features Your PowerMax offers a large number of unique features: • 30 individually-named zones: Each protected zone is identified not only by number but also by name (ask your installer to assign appropriate names to your zones). • Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAYINSTANT, HOME-INSTANT and LATCHKEY. • Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language status information and prompts are displayed on the front panel in large, clear letters.
PAGE 6
A. Controlling a gate or another electrical device: Pressing the AUX button will open/close an electricallycontrolled gate, or will control a chosen electrical device within or around your business or residence. B. Arming the system in the INSTANT mode (without an entry delay): Pressing the AUX button immediately after arming, while the exit delay is in progress, will cause the system to be armed without an entry delay.

2. SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE 2.1. Security-Related Pushbuttons Key Function Arming when nobody is at home 2.4 Arming ‘HOME’ If all perimeter zones are READY, and quick arming is allowed, proceed as shown: Action Arming when people remain at home Canceling the entry delay upon arming (‘AWAY-INSTANT’ or ‘HOME-INSTANT’) Resultant Display ARMING Move to interior zone Disarming the system and stopping alarms 2.

If you wish to arm HOME-INSTANT, proceed as follows: Action Resultant Display ARMING ARMING Sound HOME INSTANT (alternating) ARMING Go to an interior zone HOME Action ! ! Forced arming allows you to arm the system even though one zone or several zones are disturbed, and the NOT READY message is displayed. 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.
PAGE 9
2.13 Disarming and Stopping Alarms Disarming the system stops the siren before it stops automatically. This is true, irrespective of whether the alarm was initiated in the armed or the disarmed state. After disarming, different displays may appear, depending on the current status of the system: A. Disarming - no events: After an uneventful armed term, the disarming operation will progress as shown: Action [ ³] Resultant Display Sound CODE ___ y READY HH:MM ☺ y ARM indicator extinguishes B.

Following are two examples of the benefits gained by using of automatic remote control: • Timer Control. When you are away, 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. 4.2 Manual Switch-On You can switch appliances ON as instructed below.

6. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS 6.1 Looking after People Left at Home 6.3 Remote Control by Telephone An important characteristic of the PowerMax 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.
PAGE 14
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. However, to hold a two-way conversation, you must switch the system manually from Listen-In to Speak Out and back, as shown below: Press: [3] [1] Note: To prolong the communication session by 50 seconds, press [3] or [1] again, as required.
PAGE 15
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: GUEST Z13 ROOM Open After 5 seconds the display will revert to: TESTING 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).

You can now click repeatedly to review all bypassed zones, in ascending numerical order. When done, clicking will get you back to SHOW BYPASS and clicking will get you back to 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).

From here, proceed as follows: Action DATE Resultant Display [time digits] (e.g. 12:55 A) TIME 00:00 A TIME 12:55 A TIME 12:55 TIME MM/DD/YYYY Proceed as follows to set the date (in MM/DD/YY format): Action Resultant Display DATE [date] (e.g. March 14, 2000) A HH:MM A ☺ Note: To enter “A” - press [ ] and to enter “P” - press [#]. You may now select any other item on the USER SETTINGS menu or quit programming by clicking . When TO EXIT is displayed - click . 7.

9. MAINTENANCE 9.1 Replacing the Backup Battery The PowerMax operates from the regular electrical supply of the protected site, but incorporates an internal 9-Volt battery that keeps it working during power failures. It is extremely important to maintain this battery in good condition, namely to replace it immediately upon getting the following trouble message when reviewing system troubles (see Para. 5.

Put the battery holder back in, re-mount the battery compartment lid and re-attach it with the screw. With correctly inserted fresh batteries and tight closure of the lid, the TROUBLE indicator should extinguish. H.

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.
PAGE 22
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”.
