How to resolve the message "no network connection" when adding a detector to the Visonic PowerMaster 30 alarm system?
Frequently Asked Questions - 12/03/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The message "no network connection" on your Visonic PowerMaster 30 indicates that the detector cannot establish a radio connection with the control panel. This issue is generally related to range, battery, or detector configuration. Here’s how to resolve it effectively.

First, check the detector's battery. A weak or improperly installed battery is the most common cause of this error message. Open the detector, remove the battery, then reinstall a new battery while respecting the indicated polarity (usually AA or CR123A batteries depending on the model). The battery must be properly seated to ensure good electrical contact. If you see a "Low Battery" message in the event log, replace the battery within 7 days.

Check the distance and location of the detector. The PowerMaster 30 uses PowerG wireless technology with significant range, but this range is reduced by obstacles. Position the detector within 30 meters of the control panel and in direct line of sight if possible. Thick walls, metal structures, and concrete floors absorb radio signals. Place the control panel at least 1 meter above the ground, at the center of your installation if possible, to optimize range. Test the detector in the same room as the control panel to ensure it works before installing it at a distance.

Activate the control panel's learning mode. Before adding a new detector, the control panel must be in learning mode. Access the installer menu (you will need the installer code), select section 2. ZONES/DEVICES, then activate learning mode. Once the mode is activated, trigger the detector (open/close the door, or activate the motion detector) so that the control panel registers it. This operation may take a few seconds.

Eliminate sources of radio interference. Electronic devices (WiFi routers, microwave ovens, cordless phones) and metal structures (metal reinforcements, cabinets) can disrupt radio communication. Move the detector away from these sources or test it in another area to confirm that interference is the issue. Move the control panel or detector a few meters and try again.

Reset the detector if necessary. If the detector has been used elsewhere, it may retain old configurations. Remove the battery for 30 seconds, then reinstall it. This should reset the detector. After resetting, reactivate the control panel's learning mode and trigger the detector again to update it in the system.

Check that the detector model is compatible. The PowerMaster 30 is compatible with Visonic PowerG sensors such as opening contacts (MC-309, MC-302V, MC-303), motion detectors (MP-802), shock detectors (SD-304), and glass break detectors (GB-502). Refer to the detector documentation to confirm that it is designed for the PowerMaster 30. If the problem persists after these checks, the detector may be defective - contact Visonic technical support or the retailer.

What does the "Security System" message mean on the Visonic Powermaster 30 and how can it be resolved?
Frequently Asked Questions - 02/03/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The "Security System" message displayed on your Visonic Powermaster 30 panel can mean two different things depending on the context.

Context 1: Screen Saver Mode - If your LCD screen simply displays "SECURITY SYSTEM" after a period of inactivity (about 30 seconds without pressing a key), this indicates that the screen saver mode is activated. This is a security feature that masks the actual status of the system for privacy reasons. To return to normal display, simply press any key on the keypad. If you press the Fire or Emergency keys, this will trigger an alarm.

Context 2: System Alert Message - If the message is accompanied by an orange TROUBLE light and three beeps emitted every minute, the system detects a specific problem. To identify the cause, repeatedly press the navigation button to display detailed fault messages. Here are the most common faults and how to resolve them:

  • LOW BATTERY: The battery of a wireless detector is low. Replace the battery within 7 days to avoid malfunction.
  • MISSING: A detector has not reported to the panel for some time. Check that the detector is powered and in good condition, and ensure there is no radio communication issue.
  • COMM. FAILURE: A message could not be sent to the monitoring center. Check the phone connection (wired line) or the cellular connection if your system is equipped with one.
  • 1-WAY: The panel cannot communicate with the detector to configure or control it. Check that the sensor is functioning and is properly paired with the panel.
  • TAMPER OPEN: A detector or the control panel has been tampered with or its cover has been opened. Close the cover of the affected sensor and restart the system.
  • CPU LOW BATTERY: The backup battery of the control panel is low. Replace it immediately to maintain operation in case of power loss.
  • AC FAILURE: A device (detector or siren) is not powered. Check the electrical connection of the affected device.
  • CLEAN ME: The smoke detector needs to be cleaned. Use a vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth to remove dust from the sensors.

Once you have identified and resolved the fault, the TROUBLE lights will turn off and the beeping will stop. If the fault messages persist after following these steps, or if you cannot find the source of the problem, contact your authorized installer who can perform a thorough diagnosis. Remember that the system remains operational even in the presence of certain faults that do not prevent it from being armed.

Why does the application display an alarm when the VISONIC POWERMASTER 30 indicates that it is ready and has no alarm memory?
Frequently Asked Questions - 24/02/2026
Response Notice-Facile

When your application displays an alarm while the VISONIC POWERMASTER 30 indicates "Ready" (with no red LEDs, no stored alarm memory), this indicates a temporary loss of synchronization between the application and the control panel. This issue is common and easily resolvable.

1. Close and restart the application: Completely close the application (swipe it out of memory), wait 10 seconds, then restart it. This simple action often resolves the issue as it forces the application to resynchronize with the control panel and refresh the status information.

2. Check the control panel connection: On the LCD screen of the POWERMASTER 30, ensure that no amber LED is lit and that the message "Ready" is displayed. If an amber LED is present, the control panel is signaling a problem (loss of supervision of a sensor, low battery, etc.). Check the event log of the control panel (function keys) to identify the source of the problem.

3. Reset the application-control panel connection: In your mobile application's settings, go to the connection options and completely disconnect the device from the control panel. Wait 30 seconds, then reconnect. Enter your credentials again if prompted. This action restores full synchronization.

4. Update the application: Check in your store (App Store or Google Play) that no update for the VISONIC application is available. Updates frequently fix synchronization bugs. After updating, restart the application.

5. Restart the control panel: If the problem persists, restart the POWERMASTER 30 control panel by removing its power supply (unplug the transformer) for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. The control panel will recalibrate its connection with the application upon restart.

If after these steps the application still displays an alarm while the control panel is in a stable "Ready" state, there may be a more serious communication issue. In this case, contact VISONIC technical support or your installer, noting: the type of application used (iOS/Android), the application version, the type of network connection (WiFi/mobile data), and the exact POWERMASTER 30 model.

If you press any key, the normal status display will resume.

Press the fire or emergency key to initiate the fire or emergency alarm.

The installer can configure the system to request a user code before resuming the normal display for additional security.

The installer can configure the system so that if no key is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the date and time will appear in the display when a partition is enabled.

5. Reviewing Troubles and Alarm memory

With the version 20.2 update, the text "SECURITY SYSTEM" replaces the "POWERMASTER-10" or "POWERMASTER-30" text in the Resulting Display illustration and LCD screen.

APPENDIX B. PARTITIONING

B4. Siren

A partition alarms when it receives an event message from an alarmed device assigned to that partition.

Alarmed devices do not affect partitions that they are not assigned to.

Siren Activity

  • For sirens common to all partitions, an alarm from one or more partitions activates the siren.
  • If 'SRN PER PRTN' in the installer menu is set to disable and there is an alarm in any partition, all sirens will activate.
  • If 'SRN PER PRTN' from the installer menu is set to enable, a siren will activate only if there is an alarm in its associated partition or partitions.
  • A siren activates exit and entry beeps during the exit and entry delay of its associated partition or partitions.
  • Overlapping siren activations from different partitions do not cause the duration of the siren to be extended.
  • If 'SRN PER PRTN' from the installer menu is set to enable, a siren alarm in a particular partition can be stopped only if the user that disarms the system has permissions to the partition in question.
  • A siren assigned to common partitions can be disarmed by any user who has permissions to one of the common partitions.
  • An activated siren will not stop until all associated alarmed partitions are disarmed. However, if the siren is active due to an alarm from a common area zone and one of the partitions assigned to this area disarms the system, the siren will also stop. If the alarm is initiated from a common area but continues with zones that are not assigned to a common area, the siren will not stop until all partitions assigned to the alarmed zones are disarmed.
  • If there is a siren that is common to two partitions and there is a fire in partition 1 and a burglary in partition 2, the siren will sound FIRE. When partition 1 is disarmed, the siren is deactivated.

1. Introduction

Preface

The PowerMaster-10/30 G2 is a highly advanced wireless alarm control system produced by Visonic Ltd.

Note: Make sure that you have the name and telephone number of the monitoring station your system will report to. When calling the monitoring station to ask questions, you should have access to your "ACCOUNT NUMBER" used to identify your alarm system to the monitoring station. Obtain this information from your installer and write it.

Note: "Pmaster" is used as an abbreviation for "PowerMaster". All PowerMaster-10 G2 model information contained in the manual also apply to the PM-10 TRIPLE model.

Overview

The PowerMaster is a wireless alarm system for detecting and alerting in case of burglary, fire and a variety of other security and safety hazards. In addition, it can be used to monitor the activity of disabled or elderly people left at home. System status information is presented visually and verbally1, and in most cases a recorded voice prompts you to take correct action.

The system includes an optional partition feature (for a description of this feature, refer to Appendix B).

The PowerMaster is governed by a control panel (Figure 1a and Figure 1b) designed to collect data from various sensors that are strategically located within and along the perimeter of the protected site.

The alarm system can be armed or disarmed by a variety of keyfobs and keypads using special codes.

In the disarmed state, the system provides you with visual status information, and initiates an alarm if smoke is detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone (a zone which is active 24-hours a day).

In the armed state, the system initiates an alarm upon detection of disturbance in any one of the armed zones.

Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted areas.

The system identifies a wide range of events - alarms, attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of trouble. Events are automatically reported via PSTN (telephone line) or optional Cellular communication to monitoring stations (in digital or IP form) and to private telephones (in tones and/or SMS messages). The person receiving such a message is expected to investigate the event and act accordingly.

IMPORTANT! All you need to know to secure your premises can be found in Chapters 2 and 3 of this manual.

If you are not familiar with some of the terms used here, refer to Appendix C at the end of this guide.

Note: This system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once a year.

System Features

Your PowerMaster offers a large number of unique features:

  • Master / User Settings: Two user levels allow different access types (see Chapter 6. Menu and Functions, section B.4 Programming User Codes).
  • 30 detector zones (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 64 detector zones (PowerMaster-30 G2): Each detector zone is identified by zone number and name (location).
  • Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY and BYPASS.
  • Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language status information and prompts are displayed on the front panel.
  • Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the display. This feature is also used for the log file by providing the date and time of each event.
  • Various reporting destinations: Events can be reported automatically to monitoring stations, private telephones and mobile phones of your choice, and even by SMS if a Cellular module is installed (see Chapter 6. Menu and Functions).
  • Selective reporting: Your installer can determine what type of events will be reported to which destination.
  • Latchkey mode: An automatic "Latchkey" message is sent to chosen telephones if the system is disarmed by a "latchkey" user (a junior family member, for instance). (See Chapter 2.)
  • Spoken announcements and instructions1: Status-dependent, pre-recorded verbal messages are heard over the built-in loudspeaker (if the voice prompts are enabled - see Chapter 3).
  • Message exchange1: Before leaving the premises, you may record a short verbal message for other users of the system who may arrive later. Upon arrival, you can listen to verbal messages left by others for you.
  • Access from remote telephones: You may access the PowerMaster from a remote telephone and

Arm/Disarm it or receive system status information (see Chapter 7).
- Numerical keys serve as function keys: When the system is disarmed, the numerical keys are used also to control various system functions. A simple icon on each key identifies the task of that key.
- Data retrieval: You can obtain status information, trouble information and review memorized alarm events visually (see Chapter 5).
- Event log: System events are memorized in an event log that stores the most recent events, each tagged with the time and date of the event. You can access this log and review the past events in case of need such as after a burglary (see Chapter 10. Maintenance).
- Looking after elderly, physically handicapped and infirm individuals: The system can be programmed to monitor people activity within the protected area and send out an alert message if no movement is detected in the area for a predefined period of time (See Chapter 6. Menu and Functions).
Distress calls: Keyfobs may be used to activate this function by the simultaneous pressing of two buttons.
- Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly compelled to disarm the system, he can do so using a special code ("Duress Code") that disarms the system as usual, but also sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station (see Chapter 2. Operating the PowerMaster System).
- System supervision: All wireless peripherals within the protected site send periodic keep alive supervision messages. If such a message is overdue, the PowerMaster displays a 'missing' trouble message. Your installer can disable this feature if so desired.
- Battery supervision: The PowerMaster continuously monitors the battery condition of the sensors and devices in the system and displays a 'Low Battery' message whenever a battery needs to be replaced within a maximum of 30 days. Wireless sirens can still provide 2 siren alarms before the siren becomes totally inactive. Note: When the 'Low Battery' message is received, the battery should be replaced within 7 days.

Built-in Alarm Sounder

The PowerMaster panel has a high power siren built-in that sounds in case of alarm to deter intruders and to summon help.

The maximum operating time of the siren is configured by the installer according to local regulations.

Continuously ON when initiated by a burglar zone or a 24-hour zone, and when a user initiates a "panic alarm". When initiated by a fire zone (smoke is detected) ON - ON - ON - pause - ON - ON - ON - pause - ...... and so on. If there is nobody around to disarm the system upon alarm, the siren will sound for the time duration set by the installer - then will stop. If enabled, the strobe light will keep flashing until the system is disarmed or the siren will stop as configured by the installer.

General Audible Indicators

The sounds you will hear while using the control panel are:

SoundDefinition
JSingle beep, heard whenever a key is pressed
J JDouble beep, indicates automatic return to the normal operating mode (by timeout).
J J JThree beeps, indicates a trouble event
Success Tune (- - - ), indicates successful completion of an operation.
Failure Tune ( — — ), indicates a wrong move or rejection

Other Audible Indicators²

Pre-recorded voice announcements respond to your commands by announcing what the system is doing and by prompting you to perform certain actions. They also announce alarms, troubles and identify the source of each event.

LCD Display

The display is a single line, backlit 16-character LCD used to display system status and events, time and date, programming instructions and also an event log file which is accompanied by the date and time of each event. The normal display alternates with the time and the system status, for example:

READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY MEMORY

Screen Saver Mode

For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the status indication (LCD and LED display) from a potential intruder. If the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the display will read "POWERMASTER-10 / POWERMASTER-30" and the LEDs will stop indicating any status. Pressing any key will resume the normal status display. Pressing the Fire or Emergency keys will also initiate the Fire or Emergency alarm.

If configured by the installer for additional security, the system will ask you to enter your user code as well before resuming the normal display.

When partition is enabled, the installer can configure the system so that if no key is pressed during more than 30 seconds the date and time will appear on the display.

Proximity Tags

Your system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled to the system. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety of functions without entering user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc. Whenever the user code is required, you can simply present a valid proximity tag and perform the desired operation without the need to key-in your user code.

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 the OK button to immediately arm the control 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.

Instead of pressing the 1 OK button (see above), you can press the >> button once / twice (the message " for HOME" / " for disarm" is displayed, accordingly) and then press the press 1 OK button for HOME arming / disarming.

Note: For UL Listed product, the proximity feature may only be used to arm or disarm the system.

Users and Codes

As a master User (User No.1) you will need a 4-digit security code to master the system (code 0000 is not allowed). You can also authorize 7 other persons (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 47 other persons (PowerMaster-30 G2) to use the system by providing them with their own security codes (see Chapter 6, B.4 Programming User Codes). Security codes are used mainly to arm and disarm the system or to access information that is restricted only to authorized users (see Chapter 6, B.4 Programming User Codes).

Moreover, you can obtain up to 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 32 (PowerMaster-30 G2) multi-function portable keyfob transmitters that will allow you and the other users to easily arm, disarm and control the system without accessing the panel, including from outside the premises (see Chapters 2 and 6, B.7 Add / Delete Keyfob Transmitters).

The Duress Code enables you to disarm the system using a special code that sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station (See chapter 2).

2. Operating the PowerMaster System

For more information regarding terms used in this chapter, refer to APPENDIX C. GLOSSARY.

Note: This manual displays PowerMaster-10 G2 panel buttons only, even when instructions refer to both panels. When an instruction refers to PowerMaster-30 G2 only, the PowerMaster-30 G2 panel buttons are displayed.

Basic Arming and Disarming

Following are a set of procedures for performing basic arming and disarming of the alarm system.

Preparing to Arm

Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed.

READY HH:MMThis indicates that all zones are secured and you may arm the system as desired.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will read:
NOT READY HH:MMThis indicates that the system is not ready for arming and in most cases that one or more zones are not secured. However, it can also mean that an unresolved condition exists such as certain trouble conditions, jamming etc., depending on system configuration.

To review the open zones click OK. The details and location of the first open zone detector (usually an open door or window sensor) will be displayed. To fix the open zone, locate the sensor and secure it (close the door or window) - see "device locator" below. Each click of OK will display another open zone or trouble indication. It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus restoring the system to the state of "ready to arm". If you do not know how to do this, consult your installer.

Note: To quit at any stage and to revert to the "READY" display, click

Device Locator: The PowerMaster system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or troubled devices indicated on the LCD display. While the LCD displays an open or faulty device, the LED on the respective device flashes indicating "it's me". The "it's me" indication will appear on the device within max. 16 seconds and will last for as long as the LCD displays the device.

Arming 'AWAY' / 'HOME'

If the system is READY and/or Forced Arming is enabled proceed as shown below. For more information on Forced Arming, see "Forced Arming AWAY or HOME" below.

If the system is NOT READY and Forced Arming is not permitted, review any open zone detectors to locate and secure them.

If you want to arm using partitions, see "Partition Selection Process" and then proceed as shown below. If the user has changed the state of the system from a high security mode to a lower security mode i.e. from ARM to DISARM, or from ARM to HOME, he will be prompted to enter the user code thus bypassing the QUICK ARM option.

ARM indicator lights steadily during the armed state.

Disarming and Stopping Alarm

Enter the protected premises via a delayed zone. Upon detecting your entrance, the system will start sounding the entry delay beeps alerting you to disarm the system before the entry delay ends.

After disarming, different displays may appear indicating that the system is in a state of alarm MEMORY. The MEMORY message will disappear only upon rearming the system. To disarm the system, proceed as shown:

PRESSRESULTING DISPLAY
[Enter Code] / [Present tag]PRESENT TAG OR ENTER CODE Code / Present gag
READY HH:MM

ARM indicator extinguishes during the disarmed state. Disarming the system also stops the siren alarm, irrespective of whether the alarm was initiated during the armed or the disarmed state.

Disarming under Duress

If you are forcibly compelled to disarm the system, enter the duress code (2580 by default) or another code set by the installer. Disarming will take place normally but a silent alarm will be transmitted to the monitoring station.

Partition Selection Process

Access to any desired partition is achieved through the use of an individual code or proximity tag. It is not possible to access the INSTALLER MENU if one or more partitions are in the AWAY or HOME modes. Before attempting to perform any operation on any given partition(s), it is necessary to perform the operation below which enable you to select the desired/allowed partition(s) using the individual code or proximity tag:

PRESSRESULTING DISPLAY
#SELECT PARTITION
Enter partition # (1 - 3)PARTITION 1

Note: The "Failure Tune" will be heard when selecting a partition to which no sensors / peripherals were enrolled.

Special Arming & Disarming Options

In addition to basic arming, PowerMaster provides you with several advanced arming and disarming options:

Switching from 'HOME' to 'AWAY'

You do not have to disarm the system - just press. The response will be the same as in ARMING AWAY above. Vacate the premises before the exit delay expires.

Switching from 'AWAY' to 'HOME'

You do not have to disarm the system - just press. Since this operation reduces the security level, PowerMaster will ask you to key in your master user code or user code, thus making sure that you are an authorized user.

Arming AWAY or HOME 'Instant'

Pressing 0 during the exit delay will arm the system in the "Instant" mode, i.e. without an entry delay. Therefore, any detection in any zone will trigger an immediate alarm. To arm AWAY-INSTANT, proceed as follows.

ARM indicator lights during the armed state.

Forced Arming AWAY or HOME

Forced arming allows you to arm the system even if the system is "NOT READY". Any open zones will be bypassed for the duration of arming.

Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer "protests" by emitting a continuous tone during the exit delay until the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can silence this signal by pressing the arming button again. If forced arming is enabled and you wish to arm the system when NOT READY is displayed, proceed as shown:

Arming in the Latchkey Mode

This mode, if enabled by the installer, is useful for a parent at work who wants to be sure that his children have returned from school and have disarmed the system. A special "latchkey" message will be sent out when the system is disarmed by a "latchkey user".

Latchkey users are holders of user codes or users of keyfob transmitters 5 through 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 23-32 (PowerMaster-30 G2). The latchkey message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and is therefore sent to the private telephones programmed by the user as targets for alert messages.

Latchkey arming is possible only when you arm "AWAY". To arm in the Latchkey mode, proceed as follows:

Click 5 and listen. PLAY will be displayed and the message will be played back over the built-in

loudspeaker. When the playback ends, the display will revert to the normal status-displaying mode. If more than 1 minute elapsed after recording, the MSG indication will disappear.

4. Electrical Appliance Control

Control Options and Pushbuttons

The system allows manual or automatic remote control of a device connected to the PGM output.

The user defines the ON and OFF times via the Scheduler (see Chapter 6 - B.14 Programming the Scheduler). The installer determines which zone sensors will switch the remote controlled appliances on and off. However, the decision whether the remote controlled appliance will respond as programmed is up to you (see next table).

Key Function

3 Manual activation of a light or other household electrical appliance that is connected to PGM output.

6 Manual deactivation of a light or other household electrical appliance that is connected to PGM output.

9 Selecting the active automatic control method:

  • Sensors: The appliance is controlled by sensors (assigned by the installer for this).
    Timer: The appliance is controlled by timer (ON and OFF times are defined by the installer).
    Both: The appliance is controlled by sensors as well as by a timer.

Examples of benefits gained by automatic remote control:

  • Timer Control. When you are away, the timed activation / de-activation of an electrical appliance.
  • Zone Control. Upon disturbance of a perimeter zone, the electrical device is switched on.

Notes:

  1. Automatic activation and deactivation of electrical appliance depends also on the Scheduler setup (see Chapter 6 - B.14 Programming the Scheduler).
  2. PGM not to be enabled in UL Listed Product.

Automatic ON/OFF Control

You can select two of four options:

  • By Timer ON
  • By timer OFF
  • By sensor ON
  • By sensor OFF

The presently active options are shown with a dark box (■) at the far right. To view the 2 other options click the button.

A presently inactive option is shown without a dark box at the far right. The dark box will appear if you click OK while the option is displayed. A "Success Tune" indicates successful saving of a new option.

5. Reviewing Troubles and Alarm memory

Alarm & Tamper Memory Indication

The PowerMaster retains in its memory alarm and "tamper" events that occurred during the last arming period. Note: Alarm events are memorized only after the "abort period" (see Appendix C). This means that if you disarm the system immediately - before the abort period expires - there will be no memory indication

A. Indication of Alarm & Tamper Condition

If the system is disarmed following an alarm event, a flashing MEMORY message will be displayed, as follows:

VISONIC POWERMASTER 30 - Indication of Alarm &amp; Tamper Condition - 1

B. Displaying Alarm & Tamper Information

To review memory content, click OK button.

EXAMPLE: An alarm was triggered because the garage door - zone No. 12 - was opened but then closed. In addition, the bedroom motion detector - zone No. 7 - sent a "Tamper" message because its cover had been removed.

VISONIC POWERMASTER 30 - Displaying Alarm &amp; Tamper Information - 1

In response to additional clicking of the OK button, the display shows details of other events retained in open tamper (if any), or reverts to its initial state (see A above).

If the system is NOT READY, the display will first read the open zones and then alarm memory events.

Clearing the Memory Indication

To clear the 'Memory' indication you must first review the cause of alarm as described above. Once you return to the 'Ready' screen simply press Away and enter the code if requested, then press Disarm followed by the code. The memory message will now clear. Otherwise the memory indication and content will be cleared upon the next arming of the system.

Troubles

A. Indication of Trouble condition

If the system detected a trouble condition in any of the enrolled devices, the TROUBLE indicator illuminates, 3 beeps are sounded once per minute and a flashing TRBL message is displayed, as follows.

VISONIC POWERMASTER 30 - Indication of Trouble condition - 1

B. Displaying Trouble Information

All trouble messages need to be reviewed and corrected as described below:

EXAMPLE: The kitchen device - zone No. 9 - has reported a low battery - the living room device zone No. 15 has been inactive, and an attempt to communicate a message to your telephone has failed. However, these troubles do not prevent the system from being "ready to arm".

To review the source of the current troubles one by one, click the OK button repeatedly as shown below:

VISONIC POWERMASTER 30 - Displaying Trouble Information - 1

IMPORTANT! If the trouble beeps bother you, disarm the system again (even though it is already disarmed). This will cancel the trouble beeps for 4 hours.

C. Reviewing Memory & Troubles at the Same Time

If alarms / tamper events are retained in the alarm memory and at the same time a state of trouble exists, the display will first read the alarm memory followed by trouble events, as described in sections A & B above.

General Indications

Cellular connection indications

After all trouble messages have been reviewed and if a SIM card is installed in the panel, the PowerMaster displays the following indications:

GSM signal strength: indicated as CELL RSSI STRONG / CELL RSSI GOOD / CELL RSSI POOR.
Network Type: indicates the type of network the cellular modem is registered to. Represented by two characters, for example 2G or 3G.
- Cellular Provider: indicates the name of the cellular provider, which the cellular modem is registered to. Represented by 13 characters, for example Orange.

If a PIR camera is enrolled in the system, "GPRS initialize" is displayed following panel power-up to indicate that the modem is undergoing initialization. This message appears at the end of all TRBL messages and immediately following the GSM signal strength indication if a SIM card is installed.

Correcting Trouble Situations

The trouble indications (illuminated TROUBLE indicator and flashing TRBL message) are cleared once you eliminate the cause of trouble. The table below describes the system faults and respective corrective actions. If you do not know how to correct a trouble situation, report it to your installer and seek his advice.

B.1 Setting the Zone Bypass Scheme

Bypassing permits arming only part of the system while allowing free movement of people within certain zones when the system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from service faulty zones that require repair work or to deactivate a sensor if, for example, you are decorating a room.

Here you can set the Zone Bypass Scheme i.e. to scroll through the list of registered (enrolled) sensors to your PowerMaster system and to Bypass (deactivate) faulty or disturbed sensors (either READY or NOT-READY) or to Clear (reactivate) BYPASSED zones (sensors).

Once you have set a Bypass Scheme you can use the following 3 options:

To quickly review the bypassed zones – refer to section B.2.
To quickly clear a bypassed zone i.e. to reactivate the bypassed zone – refer to section B.1.
To repeat (recall) the last used zone bypassing scheme – refer to section B.3.

B.4 Programming User Codes

PowerMaster system allows you to authorize up to 8 people (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 48 people (PowerMaster-30 G2) to arm and disarm the system by providing each with a unique 4 digit personal security code, and assigning them with different security levels and functionalities. Moreover, you can obtain up to 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 32 (PowerMaster-30 G2) multi-function portable keyfob transmitters that will allow you and the other users to easily arm, disarm and control the system without accessing the panel, including from outside the premises (see section B.7 Add / Delete Keyfob Transmitters). The Duress Code enables you to disarm the system using a special code that sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station.

There are two types of users: Master User and User. The table below summarizes the different operations that can be performed by different users:

User typeFunction
Master UserArm/disarm
Zone bypass
Authorize other user codes
Set user codes
Report to private
Enroll/delete proximity tag
Enroll/delete keyfob
Automatic arming
Enable squawk
Set date and time format
Read event log
Programming the duress code
Programming the scheduler
Enabling/disabling voice option
Adjusting volume of system beeps, chime signal and voice prompts,
UserArm/disarm
Zone bypass options

The user codes are assigned as follows:

```java User Code 1 is assigned to the Master User of the system (i.e. the owner). It is the only user code that allows access to the User Settings menu. The default setting of the Master User code is 1111. This code cannot be erased and must be replaced with a secret code as soon as possible.

User Codes 2-4 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / User Codes 2-22 and 33-48 (PowerMaster-30 G2) are assigned to family members, co-workers etc. They enable arming and disarming of the system or of selected partitions as defined by the Master User. They can access the "User Settings" menu only for "zone bypassing" provided this option is enabled in the Installer menu.

User Codes 5-8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / User Codes 23-32 (PowerMaster-30 G2) are the same as user codes 2-4 / 2-22 but can be assigned to "Latchkey" (child monitor) users. For a detailed explanation of the Latchkey application see Chapter 2 (Arming in the Latchkey Mode) and Appendix C.

Partition Option (For information about Partition option - see Appendix B)

Your alarm system can divide zones into up to 3 parts (groups) via the installer menu. These parts are designated as partitions P1, P2 & P3. Each partition can be armed and disarmed separately providing protection to selected parts of the premises.

Each user out of the 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 48 (PowerMaster-30 G2) system users can be authorized by the Master User to arm and disarm any combination of partitions including all 3 partitions.

Here you can program (or edit) the 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) /48 (PowerMaster-30 G2) User Codes and thereby define which of these will be authorized to arm and disarm.

(1)

  1. The default setting 1111 of the Master User Code is the same for all PowerMaster systems and is known to many other people. Therefore, we highly recommend that you immediately replace it with a unique secret code. Never set any user code the same as any installer code.
  2. Code "0000" is not valid! Do not use it.
  3. The duress code (2580 by default), which is set in the installer menu, cannot be selected as a normal user code. Any attempt to program it will be rejected by the system.
  4. Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references 1 etc. - see table at end of this section.

B.12 Programming Private Phone, Email, MMS and SMS Reporting

The PowerMaster system can be programmed to send various event notification messages such as alarm, arming or trouble events, to 4 private telephone subscribers by audible signal and, if a GSM option is installed, also to 4 SMS telephone numbers. In addition, for users who are connected to the PowerManage server, event notification messages can be sent to 4 private emails as well as to 4 private MMS and SMS telephone numbers via the server. These reports can be programmed either instead of or in addition to the reports transmitted to the monitoring company. Further details about the event notification by telephone and by SMS are provided in Chapter 7. Event Reporting and Control by Telephone and SMS.

You can also determine the number of times the private telephone number is dialed and whether a single acknowledge signal will stop the reporting process or an acknowledge signal from each telephone will be required before the current event is considered reported.

Here you can program:

The specific events you wish the system to report.
The 1^st , 2^nd , 3^rd , and 4^th private telephone, MMS, SMS numbers and emails for reporting alarm and other event messages to private subscribers.
The number of radial attempts, two-way voice communication*, and whether to use a single acknowledge signal or an acknowledge signal from each telephone before the current event is considered reported.
The SMS permission type, whether to accept SMS commands only from the four phone numbers configured in the system or from any number.

Notes: The notification of events to other 3rd party applications (SMS/IP/personal phones) is a supplementary feature that has not been investigated by UL and is not used in UL listed installations.

Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references1 etc. - see table at end of this section.

7. Event Reporting and Control by Telephone and SMS

Event notifications by Telephone

The PowerMaster can be programmed for selective notification of event messages to private telephone subscribers – See Chapter – 6, B.12 Programming Private Phone, Email, MMS and SMS Reporting. Messages are divided by type into the following groups:

GroupEvents Reported
1Fire, Burglary, Panic, Tamper
2*Arming AWAY, Arming HOME, Disarming
3No-activity, Emergency, Latchkey, Gas, Flood, Temperature
4*Low-battery AC failure
  • PowerMaster-30 G2 only
    Note: For UL installations, SMS is a supplementary feature.

PowerMaster-10 G2 control panels

In case of alarm the following voice signal will be sent to private telephones upon event reporting:

  • FIRE: ON - ON - ON - pause....(--- -- ...).
    BURGLAR: ON continuously (——…).
    * EMERGENCY: 2-tone siren; like an ambulance.

To stop the alarm notification - press the "2" key on your telephone keyboard. The alarm sound will stop immediately.

The called party must acknowledge the message (as explained later on). However, if there is no response the message will be repeated as many times as possible within a 45-second time limit. When the 45 seconds are up, the PowerMaster will disengage the line and call the next private telephone number on its list. The called party must acknowledge the message by pressing the "2" key on the telephone keypad. As a result, the PowerMaster may continue to notify the next programmed telephone number, or if so programmed, consider the event as reported - see Chapter - 6, B.11.

PowerMaster-30 G2 control panels

When the called party answers a call initiated by the PowerMaster, he will hear a verbal message composed of the "house identity" and the type of event that occurred. For example, once smoke is detected in the Smith residence, the message will be:

[The Smith Residence - Fire Alarm].

If a person under surveillance in the Watkins residence has been inactive, the message will be:

[The Watkins Residence - No Activity].

The called party must acknowledge the message (as explained later on), but if he does not respond, the message will be transmitted repeatedly as many times as possible within a 45-second time limit. When the 45 seconds are up, the PowerMaster will disengage the line and call the next private telephone number on its list.

The called party can acknowledge the message by pressing a key on the telephone keypad, as follows.

CommandKey
Acknowledge only: The PowerMaster disengages the line and considers the event duly reported.2
Acknowledge and listen-in: The protected site is “bugged” for sound for 50 seconds. The called party may prolong the listening session by pressing [3] again before the PowerMaster disengages the line, or by pressing [1] to speak.3
Acknowledge and speak out: The called party may speak for 50 seconds to whoever is in the protected site. The called party may prolong the “speak out” session by pressing [1] again before the PowerMaster disengages the line, or by pressing [3] to listen.1
Acknowledge and 2-way conversation: You and the called party can speak and listen without any necessity to switch the system from "listen-in" to "speak-out" and vice versa for 50 sec. (extendable).6
Acknowledge and request a status report: The PowerMaster will issue a verbal report of system status. For example:[Disarm - ready to arm] or[Disarm - back door open] or[Disarm - alarm in memory].9

Event notifications by SMS

Note: This feature is not to be not to be enabled in UL Listed product.

The PowerMaster system when equipped with a GSM unit can be programmed to send SMS event notification messages to 4 pre-selected telephone numbers - see Chapter - 6, B.11. The messages can be tagged with a "House ID" name, for example, "JOHN'S HOUSE", see Remote Control by SMS section, command no. 10.

Example of the reported SMS messages:

JOHN'S HOUSE AWAY
JOHN'S HOUSE DISARM
JOHN'S HOUSE POWERMASTER: LOW BATTERY GARAGE: LOW BATTERY
JOHN'S HOUSE STATUSMESSAGE 01 (Event list is displayed)

Note: Status messages can be sent only to a calling telephone whose identity number is not blocked by the user!

  2. Wait for 2 beeps
  3. [3] or [1] or [6] (see below)

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. You can switch the system to Listen-In, Speak Out or Full Duplex, as shown in the next table.

CommandKey
Listen-in (listening to the person at home) (*)[3]
Speak-out (speaking to the person at home) (*)[1]
Full-duplex (listening & speaking) (*)[6]
Increase panel speaker volume[1]
Decrease panel speaker volume[4]

Note: To prolong the communication session by 50 seconds, press [3], [1] or [6] again, as required.

  • The 2-way communication can be terminated by anyone close to the PowerMaster, 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 speak-out to listen in. When the person at home finishes talking he should also say "Over", as a cue to you to switch back from Listen-in to speak out.

EXAMPLE:

You (at remote telephone): [1], "Hey, George, can you hear me? Are you in any trouble? Over".... [3] Person at home: "Yes, I am. I had a dizzy spell while trying to get out of bed and fell on the floor. I am unable to get up and my thigh hurts. Can you help me? Over"...

You (at remote telephone): [1], "Sure, I will send someone right away, stay put - over". [3]. Person at home: "Thanks, please hurry, over".

You (at remote telephone): [1], "All right, over and out".[★]→9]→[9] (END OF SESSION)
IMPORTANT! If you wish to exit the two-way communication mode and execute another command, just press [★] and then key your user code followed by the command (see "keying sequences" in Executable Commands table above).

8. Special Applications and Functions

Looking after People Left at Home

In addition to acting as an alarm system, the PowerMaster can also be used to monitor the movement of people at home when the system is in the disarmed state (or even when armed "HOME" with perimeter protection only), and report lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of motion within predetermined time limits.

To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer to program a specific time limit beyond which lack of motion will be reported as a "not active" alert. For example, let us assume that an elderly, sick or handicapped person is left unattended in a protected site. This person, disabled or sick as he may be, will not stay entirely still for hours and is expected to wander into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to the bathroom for other necessities. Upon doing so, the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will detect his movement.

Important!

To enable motion detectors to function during the disarmed state, all motion detectors must be configured by the installer to detect activity during disarmed state (i.e. "DISARM Activity" recommended setting ""YES + 5m delay"). For further details, refer to the motion detector's Installation Instructions.

If, for example, the "lack of motion" time limit is set by your installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will carry out a 6-hour "countdown".

If motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame, the countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual 6-hour clock will be "reset") and no alert message will be sent out.

If no motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame in any interior zone, the control panel will send a "not-active" alert message to the monitoring station or to private telephones designated by the installer.

Note: Tracking inactivity of elderly (Looking after People Left at Home) not to be enabled in UL Listed product.

Acknowledging "low battery" condition in Keyfobs

Some regulations and institutions require the user to acknowledge when the keyfob enters the "low battery" condition. In such cases the installer will program the system to operate as follows:

If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard for 15 seconds. During this period you should press again the disarm button of the keyfob or control panel (for the control panel, a user code is required) to disarm the system. If you perform this action during the 15 seconds period, a Low Bat acknowledge message will be stored in the event log.

If the disarm button is not pressed again during the 15 seconds period you will not be able to rearm the system unless you perform either one of the following actions:

A. Press AWAY twice to arm the system.

B. Press AWAY and then press disarm button.

Performing either of these two actions will also store the acknowledge message in the event log.

9. Testing the System

Periodic Test

The components of your security system are designed to be maintenance-free as much as possible. Nevertheless, it is mandatory to test the system at least once a week and after an alarm event to verify that all system sirens, detectors, keyfobs, keypads and other peripherals function properly. Proceed as described in this section and if there is any problem, notify your installer at once.

The test is performed in three parts:

Siren Test: Each siren of the system is automatically activated for 3 seconds (outdoor sirens with low volume). In addition, the system tests the siren of enrolled smoke sensors.

Temp/Light Test: For devices with temperature sensing, the panel displays the temperature of each zone in Celsius or Fahrenheit. For devices that have both temperature and light sensing, the panel displays the temperature and light intensity of each zone.

Other Device Test: Each of the other devices in the system is activated by the user and the display indicates which devices were not yet tested. The "it's me" indication helps to identify the untested devices if necessary. A counter also indicates the number of devices that remain untested.

Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references1 etc - see table at end of this section.

10. Maintenance

Replacing the Backup Battery

There is generally no need to replace the battery since the battery is rechargeable. If a CPU LOW BATTERY trouble message is received when the control panel is connected to AC power and this trouble state continues for more than a few hours, the battery may need to be replaced. An original Visonic battery must be used of which there are a number of types. For assistance in battery replacement, contact Technical Support.

Replacing Wireless Devices Batteries

The wireless devices supplied with your system are powered by batteries that last several years, in normal use.

However, if and when a battery becomes weak, the device itself sends a "low battery" message to the control panel, and a low battery trouble message is displayed together with the zone information (see Chapter 5 - Correcting Trouble Situations).

The respective manuals of these sensors or devices should be consulted for proper battery replacement guidelines to be performed by the installer.

Accessing 24-Hour Zones

To access a sensor defined as a 24-hour zone without causing an alarm:

  • Click - the display will read: USER SETTINGS.
  • Click OK - the display will read: ENTER CODE

Key your secret 4-digit - the buzzer will play the "Success Tune" (---).

You have 4 minutes during which the 24-hour sensor can be opened and accessed. When the 4 minutes are up, the system will automatically revert to the normal mode.

Cleaning the Control Panel

The control panel may occasionally get stained if touched with greasy fingers, and may accumulate dust after a long period of use. Clean it only with a soft cloth or sponge moistened lightly with a mixture of water and mild detergent, and then wipe it dry.

The use of abrasives of any kind is strictly forbidden. Also never use solvents such as alcohol, kerosene, acetone or thinner. These will certainly ruin the external finish and damage the transparency of the top window.

Event Log

All events are memorized in an event log that contains up to 100 entries. You can access this log, review the events one by one and draw functional conclusions.

Note: Up to 250 events (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 1000 events (PowerMaster-30 G2) are stored in the event log that can be reviewed via the Remote Programmer PC software application or by the remote PowerManage server.

If the event log fills up completely, 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. The event description is shown first, then the date and time. The two displays are shown alternately several times, until you click OK to move on to an 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 button and then keying your master user code. To read the event log, proceed as follows:

MAINTENANCE

READY 00:00

ENTER CODE:

  1. CODE

LIST OF EVENTS

When the PowerMaster display reads [ENTER CODE: ], enter the current master user code.

The "Success Tune" will sound and the PowerMaster display will read [LIST OF EVENTS]. (see Important Note!)

  1. Click the 01ok button. The latest event will be shown.

The event is displayed in two parts, for example, "Z13 alarm" then "09/02/10 3:37 P".

VISONIC POWERMASTER 30 - MAINTENANCE - 1

The two displays will be shown alternately until clicking OK again to move to the next event or until the event log times out (4 minutes).

  1. Click the OK button as many times as necessary to read all the required data.

Important Note! Entering an incorrect code 3 times in a row, and after each next reentry, will initiate a 30-second penalty lockout of the keypad.

Attention: The system will not allow you to erase the event log. Only the installer is authorized to view and perform this function.

APPENDIX B. PARTITIONING

The control panel includes an optional partition feature. Partitioning is available only if your installer has enabled the feature. Once partitioning is enabled Partitioning menus are added to the system which can be viewed on the control panel's LCD display. Partitioning allows you to divide the system into three independently controllable areas with different users assigned to each partition whereby each user can arm the partition to which they are assigned.

Each user code can be assigned to a combination of up to 3 partitions and each partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system. For example, you can define the garage as partition 1, the basement as partition 2, and the house as partition 3. Since each partition is independent of other partitions, you can arm or disarm each partition as desired without altering the states of the other partitions.

The system also supports a situation where an area is used by two or more partitions. For example, a reception area which is common to two offices, each of which is assigned to a separate partition, will be armed only after both offices (partitions) are armed. In the armed state the reception area will be disarmed after either office (partitions) has been disarmed to allow the user of that office to use the reception area without generating an alarm. Such an area is termed a "common area".

Note: Remote operation is performed per partition, or per user code defined for a particular partition, when partition is enabled.

B1. Selecting a Partition

When operating in partition mode the first display will read:

P1: R P2: N P3: R

Press; the display will read:

SELECT PARTITION

Press 1, 2 and 3 to select the desired corresponding partition.

Note: After 5 seconds of no button press there will be a timeout and the display will revert to the All Partition display.

B2. Arming / Disarming the System

Before continuing, make sure that Partitioning has been enabled via the Installer Mode.

Arming/Disarming All Partitions

To arm/disarm all partitions in READY mode, press the button.

Arming/Disarming a Single Partition

To arm/disarm a single partition, press the # button on the control panel and then press the Partition number: 1; 2; or 3. Then, press the / button.

B3. The Show Function

The show function is enabled during single/all partition(s) status and displays information that is relevant to the selected or all partitions.

Show All Partitions

In Ready mode press OK, the display will show information on all partitions. Press OK repeatedly to view memory / status content.

Show Single Partition

In Ready mode, press # and then press the partition number. The display will show information relevant to the selected partition. Press OK repeatedly to view memory / status content.

Note: After 5 seconds of no button press there will be a timeout and the display will revert to the all partition display.

B4. Siren

A partition is alarmed when receiving an event from an alarmed device assigned to that partition. Alarmed devices do not affect partitions to which they are not assigned. A siren is common to all partitions; therefore, an alarm from one or more partitions will activate the siren.

Siren Activity

The siren will be activated when receiving an event from an alarmed device.
- Overlapping siren activations from different partitions will not cause the duration of the siren to be extended.
- When the siren sounds, it will not stop until all alarmed partitions are disarmed. However if the siren is active due to an alarm from a common area zone, and one of the partitions assigned to this area disarms the system, the siren will also stop. In case that the alarm is initiated from a common area but continues with zones that are not assigned to a common area, the siren will not stop until all partitions assigned to the alarmed zones are disarmed.
- In case that there is a fire in partition 1 and a burglary in partition 2, the siren will sound FIRE. When partition 1 is disarmed, the siren will sound BURGLAR for the remainder of the siren timeout period.

B5. Partition Status display

Partitions status is indicated in the following manner:

P1:X P2:X P3:X

Each X value indicates a different partition state, as follows:

RReady
NNot ready
AAway
HHome
EExit delay
DEntry delay
-Not used

B6. Common Areas

Common areas are areas used as walkthrough zones to areas of 2 or more partitions. There may be more than one common area in an installation depending on the layout of the property. A common area is not the same as a partition; it cannot be armed / disarmed directly. Common areas are created when you assign a zone or zones to 2 or 3 partitions. Table A1 summarizes the behavior of the different zone types in a common area.

Table A1 - Common Area Definitions

Common area zone typesDefinition
Perimeter·Acts as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY or HOME. ·In case that one of the partitions is disarmed, an alarm initiated from this zone is ignored for all assigned partitions.
Delay zones·Delay zones will not trigger an entry delay unless all assigned partitions are armed. It is, therefore, not recommended to define delay zones as common areas.
Perimeter follower·Act as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY or HOME. ·In case that one of the partitions is disarmed, an alarm initiated from this zone is ignored for all assigned partitions. ·In case that one of the common area assigned partitions is in a delay state (and the other partitions are armed), the alarm will behave as a perimeter follower for this partition only. The event will be ignored for other assigned armed partitions.
Interior·Acts as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY. ·In case that one of the partitions is disarmed or armed HOME, an alarm initiated from this zone is ignored for all assigned partitions.
Interior follower·Acts as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY. ·In case that one of the partitions is disarmed or armed HOME, an alarm initiated from this zone is ignored for all assigned partitions. ·In case that one of the common area assigned partitions is in a delay state (and the other partitions are armed), the alarm will behave as an interior follower for this partition only. The event will be ignored for other assigned armed partitions.
Home / Delay·Acts as a Perimeter-Follower type when all assigned partitions are armed AWAY. ·Acts as a Delay type when at least one of the assigned partitions is armed HOME. ·Will be ignored when at least one of the assigned partitions is disarmed.
Emergency; Fire; Flood; Gas; Temperature; 24-hour silent; 24-hour audible; Non-alarm·Always armed.

APPENDIX C. GLOSSARY

This list of terms is arranged in alphabetical order.

Abort Period: When an alarm is initiated, the internal built-in 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.

Alarm: There are 2 kinds of alarm:

Loud alarm - both internal built-in and external sirens blare out constantly and the control panel reports the event by telephone or otherwise.

Silent alarm - the sirens remain silent, but the control panel reports the event by telephone or otherwise.

A state of alarm is caused by:

  • Motion detected by a motion detector (when the system is in the Armed state)
  • Change of state detected by a magnetic contact detector - a closed window or door is opened
  • Detection of smoke by a smoke detector, detection of gas by a gas detector and detection of water based fluids by a flood detector (when in any state)
    Tampering with any one of the detectors
  • Pressing the two emergency buttons simultaneously on the panel's keypad.

Arming: Arming the alarm system is an action that prepares it to sound an alarm if a zone is "violated" by motion or by opening a door or window, as the case may be. The control panel may be armed in various modes (see AWAY, HOME, INSTANT and LATCHKEY).

Assigned: Refers to zones.

Associated: Refers to devices.

AWAY: This type of arming is used when the protected site is vacated entirely. All zones, interior and perimeter alike, are protected.

Bypass: Bypassed zones are zones that are not armed when arming the system. Bypassing permits arming only part of the system while allowing free movement of people within certain zones when the system is armed.

Chime Zones: Allow you to keep track of activity in the protected area while the alarm system is in the disarmed state. Whenever a chime zone is "opened", the buzzer beeps twice. The buzzer doesn't beep, however, upon closing the zone (return to normal). Residences can use this feature to annunciate visitors. Businesses can use it to signal when customers enter the premises or when personnel enter restricted areas.

Note: A 24-hour zone or a fire zone should not be designated as a chime zone, because both zone types actuate an alarm if disturbed while the system is in the disarmed state.

Although one zone or more are designated as chime zones, you can still enable or disable the chime function

using the chime ON/OFF button 8 and LED

Control Panel: The control panel is a cabinet that incorporates the electronic circuitry and microprocessor that control the alarm system. It collects information from various sensors, processes it and responds in various ways. It also includes the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad, display, sounder and loudspeaker.

Default Settings: Settings that are applicable to a specific device group.

Detector: The device (apparatus) that sends an alarm, that communicates with the control panel (e.g. NEXT PG2 is a motion detector, SMD-426 PG2 is a smoke detector)

Disarming: The opposite of arming - an action that restores the control panel to the normal standby state. In this state, only fire and 24-hour zones will sound an alarm if violated, but an "emergency alarm" may also be initiated.

Disturbed Zone: A zone in a state of alarm (this may be caused by an open window or door or by motion in the field of view of a motion detector). A disturbed zone is considered "not secured".

Forced Arming: When any one of the system zones is disturbed (open), the alarm system cannot be armed. One way to solve this problem is to find and eliminate the cause for zone disturbance (closing doors and windows). Another way to deal with this is to impose forced arming - automatic de-activation of zones that are still disturbed upon termination of the exit delay. Bypassed zones will not be protected throughout the arming period. Even if restored to normal (closed), bypassed zones will remain unprotected until the system is disarmed.

Permission to "force arm" is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.

APPENDICES

HOME: This type of arming is used when people are present within the protected site. A classic example is night-time at home, when the family is about to retire to bed. With HOME arming, perimeter zones are protected but interior zones are not. Consequently, motion within interior zones will be ignored by the control panel, but disturbance of a perimeter zone will cause an alarm.

Instant: You can arm the system AWAY-INSTANT or HOME-INSTANT, thereby canceling the entry delay for all delay zones for the duration of one arming period.

For example, you may arm the control panel in the HOME-INSTANT mode and remain within the protected area. Only perimeter protection is active, and if you do not expect somebody to drop in while the system is armed, alarm upon entry via the main door is an advantage.

To disarm the system without causing an alarm, use your control keypad (which is normally accessible without disturbing a perimeter zone) or use a keyfob transmitter.

It's me: The PowerMaster system includes a powerful device locator that helps you to identify the actual device displayed on the LCD, as follows:

While the LCD displays a zone (device), the LED on the respective device flashes indicating "it's me". The "it's me" indication appears after a certain time delay (max. 16 seconds) and will last for as long as the LCD displays the device with a timeout of 2 minutes.

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 when they disarm the system.

For example, if parents want 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 Sensor: A Magnet-controlled switch and a wireless transmitter in a shared housing. The sensor is mounted on doors and windows to detect changes in state (from closed to open and vice versa). Upon sensing that a door or window is open, the sensor transmits an "alarm" signal to the control panel. The control panel, if not armed at that time, will consider the alarm system as "not ready for arming" until the door or window is secured and the panel receives a "restored" signal from the same sensor.

Motion Sensor: A passive Infrared motion sensor. Upon sensing motion, the sensor transmits an alarm signal to the control panel. After transmission, it stands by to sense further motion.

Non-Alarm Zone: Your installer can designate a zone for roles other than alarm. For instance, a motion sensor installed in a dark stairway may be used to switch on lights automatically when someone crosses the dark area. Another example is a miniature wireless transmitter linked to a zone that controls a gate opening mechanism.

Quick Arming: Arming without a user code. The control panel does not request your user code when you press one of the arming buttons. Permission to use this arming method is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.

Remote Responder: A responder can be either a professional service provider to which the home or business owner subscribes (a 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".

A motion detector restores automatically after detection of movement, and becomes ready to detect again. A magnetic contact detector restores only upon closure of the protected door or window.

Sensor: The sensing element: pyroelectric sensor, photo-diode, microphone, smoke optical sensor etc.

Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a wireless PowerG transceiver in a shared housing. Upon detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and various status signals to the control panel. Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm is initiated.

State: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY, FORCED, BYPASS.

Status: AC fail, low battery, trouble, system state etc.

User Codes: The PowerMaster is designed to obey your commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid security access code. Unauthorized people do not know this code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the system is bound to fail. Some operations, however, can be carried out without a user code as they do not degrade the security level of the alarm system.

Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under supervision of a specific detector. During programming, the installer allows the control panel to learn the detector's identity code and links it to the desired zone. Since the zone is distinguished by number and name, the control panel can report the zone status to the user and register in its memory all the events reported by the zone detector. Instant and delay zones are "on watch" only when the control panel is armed, and other (24-hour) zones are "on watch" regardless of whether the system is armed or not.

APPENDIX D. HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLANNING

Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you a short time to escape safely. Your ability to get out depends on advance warning from smoke detectors and advance planning – a home fire escape plan that everyone in your family is familiar with and has practiced.

Pull together everyone in your household and make an evacuation plan.
- Draw a floor plan of your home, showing two ways out of each room, including windows. Don't forget to mark the location of every smoke detector.

Test all smoke detectors (by a qualified testing laboratory) periodically, to ensure their serviceability. Replace batteries as required.

  • 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. Quick release mechanisms won't compromise your security, but they will increase your chances of safely escaping a home fire.
  • Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everybody is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. The objective is to practice, not to frighten, so telling children there will be a drill before they go to bed can be as effective as a surprise drill. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the smoke alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency.
  • Agree on an outside meeting place where everyone can meet after they've escaped. Remember to get out first, and then call for help. Never go back inside until the fire department gives the OK.
  • Have everyone memorize the emergency phone number of the fire department. That way any member of the household can call from a cellular phone or a neighbor's home.
  • Be fully prepared for a real fire: when a smoke alarm sounds, get out immediately and once you are out, stay out - leave the firefighting to the professional!
  • If you live in an apartment building, make sure that you are familiar with the building evacuation plan. In case of a fire, use the stairs, never the elevator.

Tell guests or visitors to your home about your family's fire escape plan. When visiting other people's home, ask about their escape plan. If they don't have a plan in place, offer to help them make one. This is especially important when children are permitted to attend "sleepovers" at friends' homes.
