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).
The user settings include (if enabled by the installer):
• Bypassing zones - determining which zones
will be bypassed (disabled) during the present
disarm period and the next armed period.
• Reviewing the bypass list - "show bypass" -
displaying the numbers and names of bypassed
zone one by one.
• Recalling the last bypassing scheme - "recall
bypass" - re-using the previous bypassing
scheme, which becomes suspended after
disarming but is still saved in the
PowerMaxExpress memory.
• Private report* - determining the event groups
to be reported to private telephone subscribers.
Determining the 1

th
telephone
numbers to which the system will report event
messages that were defined by the system
installer. Determining the number of times the
called party's private telephone number is
dialed. Determining whether to use a single
acknowledge signal, or, an acknowledge signal
from each telephone before the current event is
considered reported. Determining the 1
st
, 2
nd
, 3
rd
and 4
th
SMS telephone numbers to which pre-
selected event types will be reported.
• Setting user codes* - programming a security
code for yourself and additional 7 codes for
other system users. Codes 5 through 8 are
“Latchkey” user codes (see Chapter 2 - Arming
in the Latchkey Mode for additional details).
• Enrolling keyfob transmitters* - teaching the
PowerMaxExpress system to recognize the ID
code of each keyfob transmitter (multi-button,
CodeSecure™ type, wireless transmitter), so
that the PowerMaxExpress can respond to
commands transmitted by them.
• Auto arm option* - enabling or disabling
automatic arming (at a predefined time).
• Setting auto arm time* - selecting automatic
arming time.
• Using squawk option* - enabling/disabling
LOW/MID/HI squawk (short siren sound) upon
arming and disarming by keyfob. All the options
are applicable for wireless siren. For wired siren,
refer to LOW, MID and HI options as "squawk
enable".
• Setting the time and time format* - adjusting
the built-in clock to show the correct time and
time format.
• Setting the date and date format* - adjusting
the built-in calendar date and date format.
• Show log – enabling or disabling the event log
where events are displayed in chronological
order - from the newest to the oldest.
• Setting the scheduler* - setting schedule for
devices start/stop activation.
* This option can be accessed only if master user
code has been entered.

view of the entire User Settings menu, refer to figure 8 -
User Setting flow-chart. You can use the flow chart as
your only guide through the user settings process
instead of going through the step-by-step instructions.
