FAQs

The PowerSeries Neo System can be armed using a keypad, a 2-way wireless key or a proximity tag.

Arming the System (Infinite Exit Delay)

In an attempt to reduce false alarms, your system is designed to notify you of an improper exit when arming the system. When using the Push to Set, or Final Door Set feature, attempting to arm your system will start an infinite exit delay. The keypad will sound a beep once per second. When you have opened and closed the final door, or after pressing the Push to Set button, the exit delay will be reduced to a programmable value, which is typically 10 seconds, after which the alarm will complete the setting. The panel used this time period to allow time for the detectors on the system to return to their normal state. When this time expires, the system checks for detectors/windows/doors that may be open. If any of these are open, the panel will cancel the arming. If this occurs, you must re-enter the premises, check the system, close any open zones, and then attempt to arm again.

Away Arming the System with the Keypad

Away mode activates the complete alarm system by:

  • Arming all perimeter sensors.
  • Arming all interior sensors.

in Away Mode

Note:

     The installer configures the exit delay timer and whether or not an access code is required for arming the system.

Exit Delay Time Restart

The control panel provides an option where, if a entry/exit zone is tripped a second time prior to the end of the exit delay, the exit delay time restarts. The exit delay timer can only be restarted once.

Alarm Cancel Window

The control panel provides a period of time in which the user can cancel the alarm transmission. If the programmed alarm transmission delay has expired, cancelling an alarm sends a message to the monitoring station. Upon a successful transmission of the cancellation message the keypad will beep 6 times.
Note: Must be enabled and configured by installer.
Note: For CP-01 systems, alarm transmission delay must not exceed 45 seconds.

Using 2-way Wireless Keys and Proximity Tags

2-way wireless keys allow users in the close proximity of their house the ability to readily arm/disarm their system, and to call for help. For information on enrolling wireless keys see “User Labels (LCD keypads only)”.

Disarming Error

If your code is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound. If this occurs, press [#] and re-enter your access code.

[*][6][Master Code] + [0][1]

The alarm system provides the following user access code types:

Code Add User Delete User Arm Disarm Access Codes User Functions Installer
Master All All Yes Yes Yes Yes No
User No No Yes Yes No No No
Supervisor All but Master All but Master Yes Yes Yes Yes No
Duress No No Yes Yes No No No
One-time user No No Yes 1/day No No No

Installer and Master code are system codes that can be changed but not deleted. The other codes are user-defined and can be added or deleted as necessary. By default, access codes have the same partition and attribute programming as the code used to program them.
Note: When using 8-digit access codes, the minimum number of variations are:

  • 2083333 for HS2016/HS2016-4
  • 1388888 for HS2032
  • 1052631 for HS2064/HS2128
  • 200000 for HS 2064 E
  • 100000 for HS2128 E

Additionally, there are no disallowed codes.

Master Code By default the master code can access all partitions and can perform any keypad function. This code can be used to program all access codes, including the supervisor and duress codes. The master code is code # [01].
User Codes
This type of access code is used to arm and disarm assigned partitions and can access the User Functions menu.
Supervisor Codes Use when you want to allow additional users to manage Access Codes [*5] or User Functions [*6]. Supervisor codes created by the master code will have the same attributes as the master code. Supervisor codes created by another supervisor code will have the same attributes, except the supervisor attribute. Must be assigned manually afterward. After creation, attributes can be changed for all supervisor codes. For information on how to program supervisor code see “Configuring additional User Options”.
Duress Codes Use if forced to access your keypad under threat. Duress codes function the same as user access codes, except they transmit a Duress Report to your monitoring station when used to perform any function on the system.
Duress codes cannot be used to access Access Codes [*5], User Functions [*6] or Installer [*8] menus. For information on how to program a Duress Code see ‘Configuring additional User Options”.
One Time User Code Used to grant someone one-time access to your home once per day, i.e. a cleaning person or contractor. The ability to disarm the system is reset at midnight or when the one-time user code is keyed in by the master code user. For information on how to program a One Time User Code see “Configuring Additional User Options”.
