Axiom III Safesuite - User Manual

INTRODUCTION

AXIOMIII SAFESUITE system has been specifically designed for Condominium living to allow for more flexibility on off-site notification and onsite interaction with the buildings common area, while maintaining individual suite control.

• The Axiom III Safesuite is an 8-zone, fully supervised alarm control panel. Specific areas of detection are called zones. Zones can be programmed to have different characteristics. Some zones may be 24-hour zones, that is, they remain armed even when the alarm system is off. Zones used for fire detection, for example, are always 24-hour zones In addition, some zones can be programmed to allow bypassing. When you bypass a zone, you temporarily remove it from the alarm system. Bypassed zones, however, are not protected.
• The panel can be programmed with eight (8) different user codes.
• The panel also has DURESS CODE functionality.
• User codes are normally used for arming and disarming the panel. Duress code is used for disarming / arming while sending a silent panic code to security.
• The panel has a PRIMARY CODE (code #1) which is used for programming the keypad as well as arming and disarming. This code has a default value of 1234 and should be changed after installation since all of the units come with the same default code. The Primary code (code #1) though can be changed, cannot be deleted (see programming section).
• The rest of the user codes (#2 to #8) can be changed or deleted any time.

2. Enter your four-digit user code followed by # or enter your user code, and press AWAY key.
3. ARMED 1 & ARMED 2 lights will turn on, the READY light will flash, and the EXIT TONE will sound for the duration of EXIT delay (45 seconds by default).
4. Within this time you may exit the premises without causing an alarm. At the end of exit delay, the exit tone will stop; the READY LIGHT will turn OFF.

The Panel is now ARMED.

HOME ARM MODE

Home Arming arms perimeter zones: while bypassing interior zones (e.g. motion detector). The zone lights will indicate accordingly when any of the zones open.

1. Make sure the green READY light is ON
2. Enter your four digit user code, press "11 and #" OR Enter your user code, press "HOME" key.
   _ _ _ _ 1 1 # or _ _ _ _ HOME

3. Key-in zones to be bypassed (1-8). Corresponding ZONE LIGHT will turn off.
4. Exit BYPASS MODE by pressing the # key.
   The panel is now ready for arming, disabling the bypassed zones.
5. Now when the panel is armed, the ARMED 1 & ARMED 2 lights will turn ON Steady, the READY light & BYPASSED ZONES lights will flash, and the EXIT TONE will sound for the duration of the EXIT DELAY.
6. At the end of the exit delay, the exit tone will stop; the READY LIGHT and the BYPASSED ZONES LIGHTS will turn OFF.

All bypassed zones are cleared when the panel is disarmed.

NOTE: To cancel the bypassed zones before arming the system, key-in the bypassed zones one more time. The corresponding zones lights will turn on again (keying in bypass zones will toggle them on/off, light OFF zone bypassed, light ON zone is not bypassed).

Press the # key to EXIT BYPASS MODE and now the panel is ready to arm.

Definitions

ALARM
A condition that occurs when the detection devices in a zone are triggered after the system is armed.

ALARM MEMORY
Alarm conditions are stored in memory until cleared.

BYPASS
To take a zone out of the circuit. Bypassing malfunctioning zones allows the rest of the system to be armed. Bypassing interior zones allow freedom of movement within the premises, while arming the outer zones. Note: Bypassed zones are not protected.

ENTRY DELAY
The time you have to enter the premises through a designated DELAY ZONE and disarm the panel (before an alarm occurs). The delay time is programmable (see the programming section).

EXIT DELAY
Once the system is armed, the time you have to exit the premises through a DELAY ZONE (before an alarm occurs). The exit delay time is programmable (see the programming section).

ZONE
One of the protected areas in your premises.

24-HOUR ZONE
A zone that is always active, whether the system itself is armed or disarmed. FIRE, AUXILIARY and PANIC zones are examples of 24-hour zones. Entering a valid four-digit user code clears alarm conditions on these zones.

NOTE: Not all features of the following alarm system are activated in May Tower II.
