INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction Overview The PowerMaxExpress is a wireless alarm control system that provides protection against burglary, fire and tampering. In addition, it can be used to monitor the activity of disabled or elderly people left at home. Status information is presented visually. The PowerMaxExpress is governed by a control panel (Fig. 1) designed to collect data from various sensors that are strategically located within and along the perimeter of the protected site (Figure 2).

SECURING THE PROTECTED SITE Initiating a Panic Alarm PRESS You can generate a panic alarm manually in the disarmed and armed states alike. The sequence will be as shown: PRESS RESULTANT DISPLAY PANIC ALARM READY HH:MM Note: If you are using a key-ring transmitter, press both AWAY and HOME buttons (MCT-234) or AUX1 and AUX2 (MCT-237) simultaneously for 2 seconds. READY HH:MM ARM indicator extinguishes B.
PAGE 11
SPEECH AND SOUND CONTROL ARM indicator extinguishes and sounds once per minute, To find out what kind of trouble is being sensed, see Chapter 3. The TRBL display will disappear, the TROUBLE indicator will extinguish and the trouble beeps will stop upon eliminating the cause for trouble. E. Disarming after an alarm, with the system in a state of trouble: The TROUBLE indicator on the front panel will light.
PAGE 12
READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA 3. Reading Alarm Memory and Trouble Data Reviewing Alarm/Tamper Memory The PowerMaxExpress retains in its memory alarm and “tamper” events that occurred during the last arming period. Note: Alarms enter the memory only after expiry of the “abort period” (see Appendix B). This means that if you disarm the system immediately - before the abort period expires - there will be no memory indication A.
PAGE 13
READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA • CPU low battery - The backup battery within the control panel is weak and must be replaced (see Chapter 7 - Replacing Backup Battery). • CPU tamper - The control panel is being tampered with. • Fuse Trouble - The siren fuse is burnt out. • Line Failure – There is a problem with the telephone line IMPORTANT! If the trouble beeps bother you, disarm the system again (even though it is already disarmed). This will cancel the trouble beeps for 4 hours. B.
PAGE 14
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS 4. Special Functions Looking after People Left at Home An important characteristic of the PowerMaxExpress is its ability to function in a mode contrary to the usual behavior of an alarm system. When the system is in the disarmed state (or even when armed “HOME” with perimeter protection only), it can keep track of in-house activity and will report lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of motion within predetermined time limits.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS B.
PAGE 16
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS Note: Status messages can be sent only to a calling telephone whose identity number is not blocked by the user! Note: The PowerMaxExpress may react with a delay to received SMS messages if a GPRS session is in progress at the same time. EXAMPLE 1: You triggered a motion detector in the living room (zone 11). The display will show: LIVING ROOM Conducting a Walk-Test EXAMPLE 2: You opened a window in the guest room (zone 13).

USER SETTINGS 5. User Settings What are the Settings You Need? The installer provides you with a ready-to-use alarm system, but a few settings and adjustments will still be needed. Note: Although the user settings are your responsibility, you may request your installer to perform them for you (except for the user codes which you would like to keep secret).
PAGE 18
USER SETTINGS Bypassing Zones A. General Guidance You can program the PowerMaxExpress to exclude (bypass) selected zones, regardless of whether these zones are "functional" (undisturbed) or "open" (disturbed). Bypassing permits free movement of people within certain zones although the system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from service faulty zones that require repair work. Fire and temperature zones can not be bypassed.
PAGE 19
USER SETTINGS Recalling the Last Bypass Scheme Arming the alarm system with several zones in the bypassed state is in fact "partial arming". An identical partial arming may be repeated by recalling the last bypassing scheme (that was suspended and memorized upon disarming the system).
PAGE 20
USER SETTINGS Enrolling Keyfob Transmitters Eight system users carry keyfob transmitters to exercise better, quicker and safer system functions control. Your control panel must recognize the unique identification code (ID) of each such keyfob to respond to commands transmitted by them. Before anything else, gather up all keyfob units you intend to enroll, and make sure they all have batteries installed. Keyfob transmitter enrolling involves the following steps: A.

USER SETTINGS Notes: (1) Functions inside black rectangles are accessible only if master user code was entered. (2) For the year, enter the two last digits only. I OK to display the number, state and name of first bypassed zone. Press repeatedly to view all the bypassed zones. (3) Press (or one of the 3 keys above it), to enter "P" (PM) press (or one of the 3 keys above it).
PAGE 23
USER SETTINGS Enabling the Squawk Option You can determine that the system will activate (or not activate) high/mid/low wireless siren sound, for a short time, upon arming (1 beep) and disarming (2 beeps), by keyfob only. Having entered your Master User Code successfully (see above - Entering the User Settings Menu), click button (repeatedly, if necessary) until the the display will read: SQUAWK OPTION From here, proceed as follows: PRESS I OK RESULTANT DISPLAY B.
PAGE 24
USER SETTINGS Scheduler Function The Scheduler enables to start and stop activity of the desired devices. You can select the day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or daily) and then select the scheduled activity start/stop of the desired device.
PAGE 25
READING THE EVENT LOG 6. Reading The Event Log Event Log Description Because of the limited display space, the event description is shown first, then the date and time. The two displays are shown alternately several All events are memorized in an event log that contains up to 100 entries. You can access this log, review the events one by one and draw functional conclusions.
PAGE 26
MAINTENANCE 7. Maintenance Replacing the Backup Battery Periodic Testing The PowerMaster-10 uses regular electrical supply, but incorporates rechargeable backup 4.8V battery pack to ensure its proper operation during a power failure (see sticker on battery cover). After power failure the battery is recharged to its full capacity.
PAGE 27
PERFORMANCE LIMITS 8. Performance Limits Although the alarm control system you purchased is highly reliable, it does not guarantee protection from burglary and fire hazards. Even the most advanced systems can be defeated or might occasionally fail to warn. Some of the reasons for this are: Sloppy maintenance: If the system is used over a long period of time without testing, a key element such as a detector or a siren might go wrong without any visible or audible signs of failure.
PAGE 28
APPENDICES APPENDIX A. GLOSSARY This list of terms is arranged in alphabetical order. Any term indicated by cursive (italic) letters within the explanatory text can be looked up separately. Abort Period: When an alarm is initiated, the internal sounder is activated first for a limited period of time which is the abort period set by the installer.
PAGE 29
APPENDICES Latchkey: The Latchkey mode is a special arming mode in which designated "latchkey users" will trigger a "latchkey message" to be sent to a telephone or a pager when they disarm the system. Note: This applies to latchkey users 5 to 8 only. For example, if a parent wants to be sure that their child has returned from school and disarmed the system. Latchkey arming is only possible when the system is armed in the AWAY mode.

APPENDICES APPENDIX B. HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLANNING Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you a short time to escape safely. Your ability to get out depends on advance warning from smoke detectors and advance planning - a home fire escape plan that everyone in your family is familiar with and has practiced. • Pull together everyone in your household and make an evacuation plan. • Draw a floor plan of your home, showing two ways out of each room, including windows.
PAGE 31
WARNING! Owner's instruction notice: "Not to be removed by anyone except occupant". If the “PowerMax Express” causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if it is necessary.
