Mute

When the alert beeping becomes undesired, you can terminate the beeping in 3
different ways:

1. Mute button - Manual mute by pressing the

mute button

Pressing the mute button will temporary
disable the beeping for all the activated
sensors. For example, if a window with a
window sensor will be open for a long period
of time, the continuous beeping may become
undesired. Pressing the mute button will
temporary disable the beeping for this
sensor only, it will still beep if other sensors
are triggered. This sensor will beep again
if this window is closed, and then opened.

OPERATION

Mute Button

2. Change the buzzer mode - Disable Beeping

zones by changing the buzzer mode
selector.

- If the buzzer mode selector is at "

HOME AUTOMATION

The Control Panel can be used to control lights and home applicances with a
Control Module, (Control Module is sold separately). Garage door opener can be
controlled with a Garage Door Receive (sold separately). The Control Panel can
control up to 5 Control Modules / Garage Door Receivers.

There are 3 ways to control these modules / receivers:

1. Using the keypad on the control panel to

operate these modules / receivers manually

2. Calling in away from home using a touch tone

phone (Refer to “Remote Operation by Telephone”)

3. Setting up Event Trigger

(Refer to Advanced Programming)

These control modules should be programmed to the control panel as device
1 to 5. Please follow the programming instructions below to program these
control modules.

Learn Control Modules

Both control panel and control module are transceivers, meaning they can transmit
and receive signals from each other. For home automation, the user will initiate an
action from the control panel, such as sending a signal to turn on the light, then the
control module will receive such signal and respond. The control module will then
send back a confirmation to the control panel
to indicate the light has been turned on.

Therefore, during programming,
it is required to program 2 things:

1. Signal from control module to

control panel (confirmation signal)

2. Signal from control panel to

control module (command signal)
