Texecom INS555-3 Premier Elite Series Alarm System

Overview

Introduction

Users of the alarm system will be assigned a unique 4, 5 or 6 digit User code, and may be assigned a Proximity Tag or a SmartKey™. Codes, Tags & SmartKey™ are used to arm and disarm the system. Some User codes can also access additional options such as, system tests and omitting zones. Keypads will be installed throughout the premises, usually one at each entry/exit door. The keypads are used to perform all of the system operations i.e. Arming, Disarming etc. Most User codes can be used at any keypad on the system. However, Local Users will only be able to use certain keypads on the system.

The Keypad Emergency Keys
In case of emergency, the alarm system can provide three immediate emergency alarms by pressing and holding two specific keys for two seconds.

The emergency keys can be enabled/disabled for each keypad on the system. The Panic alarm can be programmed for either audible or silent operation. The Panic alarm can be programmed for either instant or delayed operation

The Keypad Quick Arm Keys
The ‘Quick Arm’ keys allow the system to be armed without having to enter a User code first.
The ‘Quick Arm’ keys will only work if the keypad has been programmed to allow arming in this way.
To FULL arm the system, press area.To PART arm the system, press 1 ,2 or  3 followed by part.

Keypad Lock

The keys on the keypad can be locked to prevent unwanted access to the system.
The Emergency keys will NOT operate with the keys locked.

Zone Faults During Arming

Before attempting to arm the system, ensure that the premises are secure (all doors and windows closed etc.) and the Ready light is on.
If an attempt is made to arm the system with any zones active (e.g. door ajar, open window, etc.) the internal sounders will bleep repeatedly (fault tone) and the display will show the zones that are active.
The fault tone will stop and the exit tone will resume when all zones are secure. If it is necessary to leave a zone open then it must be omitted (see page 7 for details).
Note
If an active zone cannot be secured then it may be ‘in fault’, in this case contact the alarm company immediately.

Arm Fail – Failing to Arm
If the exit procedure is started and zones are still ‘Active’ at the end of the exit procedure, an Internal alarm will occur (internal sounders only) and the strobe light on the external sounder will flash.
Note
If this occurs the arm fail must be cleared and the zone in fault identified before the system can be armed (see page 4 for details on clearing an Arm Fail).

The Ready LED
To help prevent faults during arming a Ready light has been provided, see table above for details on how the Ready LED operates.

Operating the Alarm System

To FULL Arm the System

The system is FULL Armed when ALL zones are ON (not omitted).

To PART Arm the System

The system is PART Armed, when ONE OR MORE zones have been left OFF (omitted) i.e. the landing or a bedroom.
The system is only Part Armed when zones are omitted using the ‘Part Arm’ procedure (omitting zones manually (see page 5 for details) is not classed as Part Arming). The bottom line of the display is programmable for each Part Arm. Your Installer may have programmed the system so that it can be Part Armed by just pressing 1 ,2 or 3 followed by part, if this is the case then there is no need to enter the User code below.

5. Press  If the Anti-code is correct, the keypad will bleep to indicate that the system has been reset and the display will return to normal.

To OMIT Zones

It is possible to exclude (omit) individual zones when arming i.e. if a zone is ‘in fault’. Users with access to this function can only omit zones that have been programmed as ‘Omittable’.

If the zone can be omitted, there will be a ‘Star’ to the right of the zone number. Only zones that have the ‘Omit’ attribute assigned to them can be omitted. A ‘Star’ will appear to the left of the zone number to indicate that the zone has been selected for omitting. All omitted zones will be automatically reinstated the next
time the system is disarmed, unless programmed otherwise. To re-instate zones manually, simply follow the instructions again. However, when the  key is pressed on this occasion, the zones will be re-instated.

2.  Enter the zone number
3.  Press omit to omit the selected zone Repeat for other zones if required.
4.  Press menu when finished Continue to arm the system as normal.

The Turn CHIME

On and Off The system can be set up so that activating (opening) certain zones will cause the internal sounders to chime. This would normally be used on a front door, exit button etc .
Note
Zones will only cause the internal sounders to chime if they are selected for chime (see Master User Guide for details on selecting which zones chime). Once a zone has been selected for chime, the Chime facility can be manually turned on and off as required.
The system can also be programmed to automatically turn chime on and off under certain conditions i.e. certain times of the day, door left open etc. If no zones have been programmed for Chime, then turning Chime on and off will have no effect. To CHANGE Your User Code

Users with access to this option can change their own User codes. User codes are unique to each user and can be 4, 5 or 6 digits long.
Before changing your code, it is vital that you memorise or write down the new code you are about to program. Failure to remember your code will require an engineer visit to re-program a new code for you. This may incur a call-out charge.

1.   Press Enter the User code that requires changing
2.  Press menu  then Press yes
3.  Press 2 then Press yes
4.  Enter a new 4, 5 or 6-digit User code
5.  Press yes to accept the new code
6.  Press reset to exit the menu The display will return to normal.
