1. Introduction and Overview This user manual explains all you need to know about your iConnect security system and provides step-by-step instructions for all the system’s user functions. In addition to the explanation you will receive from your installer, we urge you to read this manual so that you can take full advantage of your system’s features. Keep this manual in an accessible location for future reference. system has many features in order to suit a wide range of applications.
1.2. Security System Components Your security system is made up of a Control System, various detectors and a number of optional peripheral devices. This section explains the role of each component in your system. Control System The Control System is the brain of the system. It communicates with all the devices connected to the system. For example, in the event of a burglary, a detector sends a signal to the Control System indicating that it has sensed motion on the premises.
1.3. System Monitoring When an event occurs within the system, the Control System sends a message to your monitoring service describing the exact nature of the event. This enables the monitoring service to take the required action. System monitoring can implement either regular telephone or cellular communication. A detector detects. The Control System is alerted. An alarm is generated and the monitoring service is notified. Remember that no security system can prevent emergencies.
SMS Control Using your cellular phone, you can also send commands to the appliances controlled by the Home Automation feature using SMS and receive confirmation when the command is received. 1.7. Vocal Message Annunciation Vocal message annunciation is an optional feature that, if enabled in programming, causes the system to play short messages that indicate system status. 1.8.
2. The User Interface There are several methods you can use to operate the system. Apart from the keypad on the front panel, your system may include a number of peripheral devices such as keypads and keyfobs. This chapter provides a brief introduction to each of the devices you can use to operate the system. It is important that you familiarize yourself with these devices before reading the following chapters that shall describe system operation in further detail.
Service Call Button The Service Call button enables you to contact the monitoring service and talk to an operator.
