Introduction

This manual is intended as a quick reference User Guide for the 3GS System.

The 3GS is a combined security, radio alarm, and access control system. It controls up to 200 alarm zones,

divided into 8 separate areas, as well as as 64 doors/128 card readers.

User Menu

The User Menu, by which the user programs the system, is accessed via the keypad by keying in your User

Code plus the option key Help:

This will allow you to choose one of the menu options available.

Display

The 3GS system has a two line by 24 character LCD display e.g.

When you are navigating through the Help menu:

l The first line shows the option

l The second line shows how to directly select the option without using the Help function.

Alert Messages

When in normal operation, the system will display the day, date and time on the first line of the display. The

second line will flash any recent system events or information (such as a fault with one of the fuses or battery,

or an alarm condition).

If the condition continues, e.g. Battery Problem, the message displays steadily instead of flashing. This

message will continue to display until you remove the message (See Accept All Alerts on page 10).

If the system is in Full Set mode (see Full Set on page 13), the message will display steadily and the buzzer will

also sound.

Pressing the key will give information on the areas/zones affected.

Keypad Private Mode

The 3GS is designed to allow only one user at a time to operate the system.

If the display shows: when you attempt to use the keypad, this means that a user

is operating the system at another keypad. Wait until the system is free before attempting to use the keypad again.

Year 2000

All 3GS systems are Year 2000-compliant.

Alarm Duress Code

3GS has an in-built Alarm Duress Code feature, which allow you to trigger a silent Duress alarm by simply

keying in the first 3 digits of your code, and then the fourth digit plus 1. For example, if your code is

1234,

then by keying in

1235 you will trigger a Duress alarm, which will not display on the panel and will not

sound an alarm, but will send a trigger directly to your central security station.
