4. PROGRAMMING
12 D-305735 PowerMaster 360 Installer's Guide
4. PROGRAMMING
4.1 General Guidance
This chapter explains the Installer programming (configuration) options of your PowerMaster 360 system and how to
customize its operation to your particular needs and end user requirements.
Software configuration of the alarm system is performed using the Virtual Keypad which contains the control keys,
numerical keypad and display.
The control panel includes a partition feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently controllable
areas with different user codes assigned to each partition. A partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the
status of the other partitions within the system.
The Soak Test feature allows selected zones to be tested for a pre-defined period of time. When in Soak Test mode,
activating a zone does not cause an alarm and siren and strobe are not activated. The zone activation is recorded in
the event log and is not reported to the Monitoring Station. The zone remains in Soak Test until the pre-defined period
of time for the Soak Test has elapsed without any alarm activation. The zone then automatically removes itself from
Soak Test mode and returns to normal operating mode.
Software Upgrade allows you to upgrade the software of the control panel from the remote PowerManage server.
During software upgrade, the PowerMaster 360 Virtual Keypad display will read "UPGRADING…" which is displayed
throughout the software upgrade procedure.
Note: Software Upgrade cannot be performed when the control panel is armed AWAY or there is an AC failure.
Tech Tip
:
For your convenience, we recommend programming the PowerMaster 360 on the work bench before actual installation.
Operating power may be obtained from the backup battery or from the AC power supply.
ATTENTION! FIRST SWITCH ON THE CONTROL PANEL and then INSERT BATTERIES INTO ACCESSORIES
DEVICES.
The devices "search" for the control panels to which they are enrolled for a period of only 24 hours from the time of
battery insertion.
Note: If you have switched on the control panel a long time after inserting batteries into the accessories devices: Open
and then close the cover to activate the tamper switch (where applicable), or remove the battery and then put back the
battery.

4.3 Setting Installer Codes
The PowerMaster 360 system provides two installer permission levels with separate installer codes, as follows:
• Master Installer: The "Master Installer" is authorized to access all Installer Mode menu and sub-menu options. The
default code is: 9999 (*).
• Installer: The "Installer" is authorized to access most but not all Installer Mode menu and sub-menu options. The
default code is 8888 (*).
• Guard Code: Enables an authorized guard to only Arm Away / Disarm the control panel. The default code is 0000 (*).
The following actions can be performed only by using the Master Installer code:
• Changing the Master Installer code.
• Defining specific communication parameters – see "3:C.S REPORTING" in sections 4.6.2 and 4.6.3.
• Resetting the PowerMaster 360 parameters to the default parameters – see "09:FACTORY DEFLT" in section
4.11.
Note: Not every system includes a Master Installer code feature. In such systems, the Installer can access all Installer
Mode menu and sub-menu options the same as a Master Installer.
(*) You are expected to use the default codes only once for gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret
code known only to yourself.

only the Installer Code and New Guard Code option.
[3] Enter the new 4-digit Code at the position of the blinking cursor and then press .
Notes:
1. Code "0000" is not valid for Master Installer or installer.
2. Inserting “0000” for the Installer will delete the Installer Code.
3. Warning! Always use different codes for the Master Installer, for the Installer and for the Users.
If the Master Installer Code is identical to the Installer code, the panel will not be able to recognize the
Master Installer. In such a case, you must change the Installer code to a different code. This will re-validate
the Master Installer code.
4.3.1 Identical Installer and Master Installer Codes
In a 2-installer code system, the non-master installer may inadvertently change his Installer Code to that of the Master
Installer Code. In this case, the panel will allow the change in order to prevent the non-master installer from realizing
the discovery of the Master Installer's Code. The next time the Master Installer enters the Installer Mode the Master
Installer will be considered as an Installer and not as a Master Installer. In such a case the Master Installer should use
one of the following solutions:
(a) Access the panel using the Remote Programmer PC software application and change the Master Installer Code to
a different code than the one programmed by the Installer.
(b) 1. Change the Installer Code to a temporary code, 2. exit the Installer Mode, 3. enter the Installer Mode again using
the Master Installer code (the Master Installer Code will now be accepted), 4. change the Master Installer code to a
different code, 5. and change the NON-Master Installer Code back again (in other words, undo the change to the
temporary code) so that the NON-Master Installer can still enter the system.

- Adding New Devices
[1]
Enter "INSTALLER MODE", select "02:ZONES DEVICES" (see section 4.2) and then select "ADD NEW DEVICE".
Because of encryption, PowerG devices (including Keyfobs) cannot be used on more than one system at one
time. Remember to verify panel and device compatibility.
[2] See enrollment by button or device ID below. If enrollment is successful, the display reads "DEVICE ENROLLED"
(or "ID ACCEPTED") and then shows the device details - see [3]. However, if the enrollment fails, the display will
advise you the reason for failure, for example: "ALREADY ENROLLED" or "NO FREE LOCATION".
If the enrolled device is adapted to operate as another device that the panel recognizes, the display then reads
“ADAPTED TO <OK>”.
[3]
The display shows the device details and the first available free Zone number for example: "Z01:Motion
Sensor > ID No. 120-1254" (or "K01:Keyfob / S01:Siren etc. depending on the type of the enrolled device).
Detectors can be enrolled in any zone number. To change the zone number, click the button or type in
the zone number, and then press to confirm.
[4]
Continue to Part B to configure the device – see diagram below
How to check Panel
Device compatibility
Each PowerG device bears a 7-character Customer ID printed on the device sticker in the format: FFF-M:DDD, (for
example, 868-0:012) where FFF is the frequency band and M:DDD is the variant code.
For PowerG system devices compatibility, make sure the frequency band (FFF) and the variant code (M) of the devices
match. The DDD can be ignored if the panel displays “ANY” for DDD.
Enrollment by using Device ID
The 7-digit Device ID can be used to register a device into the panel locally or from a remote location using the Remote
Programmer PC software. The enrollment by device ID is a 2 stage procedure.
In the 1st stage you register the devices' ID numbers into the panel and complete the device configuration. This can be
done from a remote location using the Remote Programmer PC software. Following the 1st stage, the PowerMaster
360 panel waits for the device to appear on the network in order to complete the enrollment.
In the 2nd stage, the enrollment is completed when the panel is in full working mode by inserting the battery into the
device, or by pressing the tamper or enrollment button on the device. This procedure is very useful for adding devices
to existing systems without the need to provide technicians with the Installer Code, or to allow access to the
programming menus.
Remember! The system will indicate a "NOT NETWORKD" trouble until the 2nd stage of all registered devices is
completed.
Note: The Soak Test on pre-enrolled zones can be activated only when the zone is fully enrolled.
Enrollment by using the Enrollment button
The panel is set to the Enrollment mode (step #2 above) and the device is enrolled using the Enroll button (refer to the
device information in the device Installation Instructions, then open the device and identify the Enroll button). For
keyfobs and keypads, use the AUX '' button. For gas detectors, insert the battery.
Press the enroll button for 2-5 seconds until the LED lights steadily and then release the button. The LED will
extinguish or may blink for a few more seconds until the enrollment is completed. If enrollment is successfully

Mode menu "03.CONTROL PANEL" options 01 and 03. (∗)
2.
Exit/Entry 2
Same as Exit / Entry 1 but with a different delay time. Used sometimes for entrances closer to
the panel. For configuring the Exit and Entry 2 delays, see sections 4.5.1 & 4.5.2 –
Installer Mode menu "03.CONTROL PANEL" options 02 and 03. (∗)
3.
Home Delay
Used for Door/Window Contacts and Motion sensors protecting entrance doors to interior
living areas where you wish to move feely when the system is armed HOME. Functions as a
"Delayed" zone when the system is armed HOME and as a "Perimeter Follower" zone when
the system is armed AWAY.
4. Inter-Follow
Similar to "Interior" zone but temporarily ignored by the alarm system during entry/exit delay
periods. Usually used for sensors protecting the route between the entrance door and the panel.
5. Interior This zone type generates an alarm only when the system is armed AWAY but not when the
system is armed HOME. Used for sensors, installed in interior areas of the premises, that
need to be protected when people are not present inside the premises.
6. Perimeter
This zone type generates an alarm when the system is armed both in AWAY and HOME
modes. Used for all sensors protecting the perimeter of the premises.
7.
Perim–Follow
Similar to "Perimeter" zone, but is temporarily ignored by the alarm system during entry/exit
delay periods. Usually used for sensors protecting the route between the entrance door and
the control panel.
8. 24h silent
This zone type is active 24 hours, even when system is DISARMED. It is used to report alarm
events from sensors or manually activated buttons to the Monitoring Station or private
telephones (as programmed) without activating the sirens.
9.
24h audible
Similar to 24hr silent zone, but also provides an audible siren alarm.
Note: This zone type is used only for burglary applications.
10. Emergency
This zone type is active 24 hours, even when the system is DISARMED. It is used to report
an emergency event and to initiate an Emergency call to the Monitoring Stations or private
telephones (as programmed).
11.
Arming Key
An Arming key zone is used to control the arming and disarming of the system.
Note: Operates with the magnetic contact device, magnetic contact device with auxiliary input
and vanishing magnetic contact device.
12.
Non-Alarm
This zone does not create an alarm and is often used for non-alarm applications. For
example, a detector used only for sounding a chime.
13.
Fire
A Fire zone is used for connecting the MC-302E (magnetic contact with hard-wired input) to a
wired smoke detector.
17.
Guard keybox
A Guard keybox zone is usually connected to a metal safe containing the physical keys
needed to enter the building. Following an alarm, the safe becomes available to a trusted
Guard who can open the Guard keybox, obtain the keys and enter the secured premises. The

Zone Type
Description
Guard keybox zone acts just like a 24H audible zone. The Guard keybox zone also provides
automatic audible internal and external siren alarm that is immediately reported to the
Monitoring Station (and does not depend on the Abort Time).
Notes:
1. Opening/closing the Guard keybox causes the PowerMaster 360 to signal the Monitoring
Station.
2. Operates with the magnetic contact device with auxiliary input.
18
Outdoor
A zone for outdoor areas where an activated alarm does not indicate intrusion into the house.
Note: The PIR camera / Outdoor PIR camera detector cannot be set to Outdoor Zone Type.
(∗)
These Zone types are useful mainly when you arm and disarm the system from inside the protected premises. If
you arm and disarm the system from outside (without tripping any sensor), such as using a keyfob, it is
preferred to use the other Zone Types.

4.5.2 Configuring Arming/Disarming and Exit/Entry Procedures
The following table provides you with a detailed description of each option and its configuration settings. To select an
option and change its configuration – refer to section 4.5.1.
Option
Configuration Instructions
01:ENTRY DELAY1
02:ENTRY DELAY2 Two different entry delays allow the user to enter the protected site (while the system is in the
armed state) via dedicated exit/entry doors and routes without causing an alarm.
Following entry, the user must disarm the control panel before the entry delay expires. Slow-
rate warning beeps start sounding via the Configuration device (PC or mobile) once the door is
opened, until the last 10 seconds of the delay, during which the beeping rate increases. The
"ENTRY DELAY 1" and "ENTRY DELAY 2" options allow you to program the time length of
these delays.
Options: 00 seconds; 15 seconds (default for entry delay 2); 30 seconds (default for entry
delay 1); 45 seconds; 60 seconds; 3 minutes and 4 minutes.
Notes:
1. In some PowerMaster 360 variants, these menus are displayed in the Operation
Mode only (see section 4.13).
2. To comply with EN requirements, the entry delay must not exceed 45 sec.
03:EXIT DELAY This option allows programming the time length of the exit delay. An exit delay allows the user
to arm the system and leave the protected site via specific routes and exit/entry doors without
causing an alarm. Slow-rate warning beeps start sounding via the Configuration device (PC or
mobile) once the arming command has been given, until the last 10 seconds of the delay,
during which the beeping rate increases.
Options: 30 seconds; 60 seconds (default); 90 seconds; 120 seconds, 3 minutes and
4 minutes.
04:EXIT MODE The "Exit Delay" time can be further adjusted according to your preferred exit route. The control
panel provides you with the following "Exit Mode" options:
A: "normal" - The exit delay is exactly as defined.
B: “restrt+arm home” - Exit delay restarts when the door is reopened during exit delay. If no
door was opened during exit delay "AWAY", the control panel will be armed "HOME".
C: "restart>reentry" - The exit delay restarts when the door is reopened during exit delay. The
restart occurs once only. Restarting the exit delay is helpful if the user re-enters
immediately after going out to retrieve an item that he left behind.
D: "end by exit" - The exit delay expires (ends) automatically when the exit door is closed
even if the defined exit delay time was not completed.
Options: normal (default); restrt+arm home; restart>reentry and end by exit.
Note: In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only
(see section 4.13).
05:QUICK ARM Define whether or not the user will be allowed to perform quick arming or not. Once quick
arming is permitted, the control panel does not request a user code before it arms the system.
Options: OFF (default) and ON (default in USA).
06:BYPASS ARM
Define whether or not the user will be allowed to manually bypass individual zones, or allow
the system to perform automatic bypassing of open zones during the exit delay (i.e.
"force arm"). If a zone is open and "forced arming" is not permitted, the system cannot be
armed and “NOT READY” is displayed. If "no bypass" is selected, neither manual bypassing
nor force arming is allowed which means that all zones must be secured before arming.
Options: no bypass (default); force arm and manual bypass (default in USA).
Notes:
1. To comply with EN requirements, "manual bypass" must be selected.
2. The option "force arm" is not applicable in the UK.
3. A zone in Soak Test mode that is configured as bypass will trigger a test fail event if
the system detects a potential alarm event.
4. There is no limit of reported events when a bypass zone is in Soak Test mode.
07:LATCHKEY ARM
When "ON", a “latchkey” message will be reported by SMS message to users (see Note) upon
disarming by a “latchkey user” (users 5-8 or keyfob transmitters 5-8). This mode is useful when
parents at work want to be informed of a child’s return from school.
Options: OFF (default) and ON.
Note: To enable the reporting, you must configure the system to report "alrt" events to Private
users (Latchkey belongs to the "alerts" group of events). Refer to section 4.6.4 "REPORTED
EVENTS" option in both "
VOICE REPORT
" & "
SMS REPORT
" menus.

Configuration Instructions
08:DISARM OPTION
Certain regulations require that when the system is armed in AWAY mode, it may not be
disarmed from the outside of the house (such as by keyfobs) before entering the protected
premises and activating an "Entry Delay" zone. To answer this requirement, the PowerMaster
360 provides you with the following configurable options to disarm the system:
A: At "any time" (default), the system can be disarmed at all times from all devices.
B: During entry delay, the system can be disarmed only using keyfob or prox operated devices
("on entry wrless").
C: During entry delay by code, the system can be disarmed only using the Configuration device
(PC or mobile) ("entry + away kp.").
D: During entry delay, the system can be disarmed using keyfobs or by code using the
Configuration device (PC or mobile) ("on entry all.").
Note:
In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only
(see section 4.13).
09:ARMING KEY
Determine that, when activated, the Arming Key will arm AWAY or HOME.
Options: arm AWAY (default) and arm HOME.
4.5.3 Configuring Zones Functionality
The following table provides you with a detailed description of each option and its configuration settings. To select an
option and change its configuration – refer to section 4.5.1.
Option Configuration Instructions
21:SWINGER STOP Define the number of times a zone is allowed to initiate an alarm within a single
arming/disarming period (including tamper & power failure events of detectors, etc.). If the
number of alarms from a specific zone exceeds the programmed number, the control panel
automatically bypasses the zone to prevent recurrent siren noise and excessive reporting to the
Monitoring Station. The zone will be reactivated upon disarming, or 8 hours after having been
bypassed (if the system remains armed).
Options:
after 1 alarm
(default);
after 2 alarms
(default in USA);
after 3 alarms
and
no stop
.
Note:
When a detector is in Soak Test1 mode and also set to bypass, Swinger Stop will not
prevent the sending of events. This may result in excessive reporting of Soak Fail
events.
22:CROSS ZONING Define whether cross zoning will be active "ON" or inactive "OFF" (default). Cross zoning is a
method used to counteract false alarms - an alarm will be initiated only when two adjacent
zones (zone couples) are violated within a 30-second time window.
This feature is active only when the system is armed AWAY and only with respect to the
following zone couples: 10+11, 12+13, 14+15.
Notes:
1. If one of the two crossed zones is bypassed (see Section 4.5.2), the remaining
zone will function independently.
2. It is recommended that crossed zones will be only zones used for detection of
burglary i.e. "Zone Types": Entry/ Exit, Interior, Perimeter and Perimeter follower.
3.
If a cross zone is in Soak Test mode, then each zone of this zone couple functions
independently.
Important! Do not define "cross zoning" to any other zone types such as Fire,
Emergency, 24h audible, 24h silent etc.

simultaneous pressing the two "Panic Buttons") or keyfobs (by simultaneous pressing the
"Away" + "Home" buttons) and whether the alarm will be "silent" (i.e. only reporting of the
event) or also audible (i.e. the sirens will also sound).
Options: audible (default); silent and disabled.
32:DURESS ALARM
(not applicable in UK)
A duress (ambush) alarm message can be sent to the Monitoring Station if the user is forced to
disarm the system under violence or menace. To initiate a duress message, the user must
disarm the system using a duress code (2580 by default).
To change the code, enter the new 4-digit of the new Duress code at the position of the
blinking cursor or enter 0000 to disable the duress function and then press .
Notes: The system does not allow programming a duress code identical to an existing user
code.
33:INACTIVE ALRT
Previously known as
"NOT ACTIVE"

after
:
3/6/12/24/48/72 hours
34:TAMPER ALARM Define whether the Tamper switch protection of all zones and other peripheral devices (except
the control panel) are "active" (default) or "not active".
Warning!: If you select "
not active
", be aware that no alarm or report will be initiated in case
of tampering with any of the system peripheral devices.
35:AC FAIL REPRT To avoid nuisance reporting in case of short interruptions in the house of AC power, the

determined time delay.
Options:
after 5 minute
(default)
, after 30 minute
,
after 60 minute
or
after 3 hours.
Note:To comply with EN requirements, the time delay must not exceed 60 min.
36:CONFIRM ALARM
Previously known as
"CONFIRM TIME"
If two successive alarm events occur within a specific time window, the system can be
configured to report the second alarm event as a "confirmed alarm" (see section 4.6.3 option
61). You can activate this feature and set the respective time window.
Options: disable (default in USA); in 30/45/60 (default)/90 minutes
Note: In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only
(see section 4.13).
37:ABORT TIME The PowerMaster 360 can be configured to provide a delay before reporting an alarm to the
Monitoring Station (not applicable to alarms from 24H SILENT and EMERGENCY zones).
During this delay period, the siren sounds but the alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the
system within the delay time, the alarm is aborted. You can activate the feature and select the
"Abort Time" interval.
Options: in 00 (default in USA)/15/30 (default)/45/60 seconds; in 2/3/4 minutes
Note: In some PowerMaster 360 variants, this menu is displayed in the Operation Mode only
(see section 4.13).
38:CANCEL ALARM
Previously known as
"ALARM CANCEL"
The PowerMaster 360 can be configured to provide a ”Cancel Alarm” time window that starts
upon reporting an alarm to the Monitoring Station. If the user disarms the system within that
"cancel alarm" time, a “cancel alarm” message is sent to the Monitoring Station indicating that
the alarm was canceled by the user.
Options: not active (default in USA); in 1/5 (default)/15/60 minute(s) and in 4 hours.

The PowerMaster 360 can communicate to Monitoring Stations (equipped with Visonic PowerManage server) with
image clips captured by Motion Cameras (models Next CAM PG2, Next-K9 CAM PG2 and TOWER CAM PG2). The
Monitoring Station can use the video clips for verification of Burglary alarms detected by the Motion Cameras. The
system can be configured to capture image clips also upon occurrence of Non-Burglary alarms (i.e. Fire, Duress,
Emergency and Panic). The server can then forward the images to the management computer of the Monitoring
Station or to 4 private emails and/or 4 mobile phones by MMS images.
In addition, the Monitoring Station can log into the PowerManage server and request the system to provide image clips
"On Demand" and to forward them as defined in the PowerManage application. To protect customers' privacy, the
PowerMaster 360 can be customized to enable the "On Demand View" only during specific system modes (i.e. Disarm,
Home and Away) and also to a specific time window following an alarm event.

4.6.6 Configuring Upload / Download Remote Programming Access Permission
Using a PC, the PowerMaster 360 can be configured (by upload/download) either locally or from remote via GPRS
cellular communication.
Local programming can be performed by directly connecting the computer to the panel's USB port using the Remote
Programmer PC Software.
Remote programming via GPRS is performed using a Visonic PowerManage server and related Remote Programmer
PC software. The PowerManage server calls from a cellular modem to the Panel's SIM card number. The panel checks
the caller ID and if identical with any of the two callers ID 1 or 2 programmed in the "GPRS UP/DOWNLOAD" menu
(see table below), the panel initiates a GPRS connection with the respective IP Receiver 1 or 2 (as configured in
section 4.6.3 options 21 & 22). When connection is established, the monitoring company can perform the
upload/download procedure via the established secured GPRS connection. For further information refer to the

4.8.1 General Guidance – "Diagnostics" Flow-Chart & Menu Options
The DIAGNOSTICS menu enables you to test your system and to verify proper operation of your PowerMaster 360
panel, wireless devices attached to it and the communication (GSM/GPRS/SIM) modules.
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured during the initial testing and also throughout subsequent system
maintenance. A device should not be installed in location where signal strength is "poor". If you get "poor" signal
strength from a certain device, simply re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received. This
principle should be followed throughout the diagnostic test procedure.
The diagnostic test process is shown below.
The "07.DIAGNOSTICS" menu contains several sub-menu options, each covering a group of configurable features and
parameters related to the communication and reporting as follows (see the list in Step 3 of the chart below):

Configuration Instructions
01:DISARM OPTION
Certain regulations require that when the system is armed in AWAY mode, it may not be
disarmed from the outside of the house (such as by keyfobs) before entering the protected
premises and activating an "Entry Delay" zone. To answer this requirement, the PowerMaster
360 provides you with the following configurable options to disarm the system:
any time (default) – the system can be disarmed at all times from all devices.
on entry wrless – During entry delay, the system can be disarmed only using keyfob or prox
operated devices.
entry + away kp. – During entry delay by code, the system can be disarmed only using
PowerMaster 360 Virtual Keypad.
on entry all. – During entry delay, the system can be disarmed using keyfobs or by code
using the PowerMaster 360 Virtual Keypad.
03:END EXIT MODE The "Exit Delay" time can be further adjusted according to your preferred exit route.
The control panel provides you with the following "Exit Mode" options:
A: "normal" (default) - The exit delay is exactly as defined.
B: "restart>reentry" - The exit delay restarts when the door is reopened during exit delay.
The restart occurs once only. Restarting the exit delay is helpful if the user re-enters
immediately after going out to retrieve an item that he left behind.
C: "end by exit" - The exit delay expires (ends) automatically when the exit door is closed
even if the defined exit delay time was not completed.
Options: normal (default); restart>reentry and end by exit.
05:CONFIRM ALARM Define a specific time period that if 2 successive alarms occur, the second alarm will be
considered as a confirmed alarm, (see RPT CNFM ALRM below).
Options: disable (default in USA); in 30/45/60 (default)/90 minutes
07:RPT CNFM ALRM
Define whether the system will report a confirmed alarm.
report disabled (default) - The system will not report a confirmed alarm.
report enabled - The system will report a confirmed alarm.
08:ENTRY DELAY 1
09:ENTRY DELAY 2
Two different entry delays allow the user to enter the protected site (while the system is in the
armed state) via 2 specific doors and routes without causing an alarm.
Following entry, the user must disarm the control panel before the entry delay expires. Slow-
rate warning beeps start sounding once the door is opened, until the last 10 seconds of the
delay, during which the beeping rate increases. Locations No. 1 (entry delay 1) and 2 (entry
delay 2) allow you to program the length of these delays.
Options : 00/15 (ENTRY DELAY 2 default)/30 (ENTRY DELAY 1 default)/45/60 seconds;

APPENDIX E. Working with Partitions
78 D-305735 PowerMaster 360 Installer's Guide
APPENDIX E. Working with Partitions
Your alarm system is equipped with an integrated partitioning feature that can divide your alarm system into three
distinct areas identified as Partition 1 through 3. A partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the
other partitions within the system. Partitioning can be used in installations where shared security systems are more
practical, such as a home office or warehouse building. When partitioned, each zone, each user code and many of your
system's features can be assigned to Partition 1 to 3. Each user code is assigned with the list of partitions it is allowed
to control in order to limit access of users to certain partitions.
When partitioning is enabled, menu displays are changed to incorporate the partition feature and also each device, user,
and proximity tag has additional partitions menu, where it is assigned to certain partitions and excluded from others.
Note: When Partition Mode is disabled, all zones, user codes, and features of the control panel will operate as in a
regular unit. When partition mode is enabled, all zones, user codes, and features of the control panel are
automatically assigned to Partition 1.
E1. User Interface and Operation
Refer to the control panel User's Guide APPENDIX B. PARTITIONING for a detailed description of the user interface
(Arming/Disarming, siren behavior, show function, etc.), and APPENDIX A for keyfobs and keypads operation in
Partition Mode.
E2. Common Areas
Common areas are areas used as walkthrough zones to areas of 2 or more partitions. There may be more than one
common area in an installation depending on the layout of the property. A common area is not the same as a partition;
it cannot be armed / disarmed directly. Common areas are created when you assign a zone or zones to 2 or 3
partitions. Table A1 summarizes the behavior of the different zone types in a common area.
Table A1 – Common Area Definitions
Common area zone types
Definition
Perimeter
• Acts as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY or HOME.
• In case that one of the partitions is disarmed, an alarm initiated from this zone is
ignored for all assigned partitions.
Delay zones • Delay zones will not trigger an entry delay unless all assigned partitions are armed.
It is, therefore, not recommended to define delay zones as common areas.
Perimeter follower
• Act as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY or HOME.
• In case that one of the partitions is disarmed, an alarm initiated from this zone is
ignored for all assigned partitions.
• In case that one of the common area assigned partitions is in a delay state (and
the other partitions are armed), the alarm will behave as a perimeter follower for
this partition only. The event will be ignored for other assigned armed partitions.
Interior • Acts as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY.
• In case that one of the partitions is disarmed or armed HOME, an alarm initiated
from this zone is ignored for all assigned partitions.
Interior follower • Acts as defined only after the last assigned partition is armed AWAY.
• In case that one of the partitions is disarmed or armed HOME, an alarm initiated
from this zone is ignored for all assigned partitions.
• In case that one of the common area assigned partitions is in a delay state (and
the other partitions are armed), the alarm will behave as an interior follower for this
partition only. The event will be ignored for other assigned armed partitions.
Home / Delay
• Acts as a Perimeter-Follower type when all assigned partitions are armed AWAY.
• Acts as a Delay type when at least one of the assigned partitions is armed HOME.
• Will be ignored when at least one of the assigned partitions is disarmed.
Emergency; Fire; Flood; Gas;
Temperature; 24-hour silent;
24-hour audible; Non-alarm
• Always armed.
Note: A Soak Test of Common areas cannot be initiated when one of its partitions is armed. When Soak Test of a
Common area is active, an alarm event is ignored unless all the partitions that are assigned to the zone are armed.

APPENDIX H. Sabbath Mode
D-305735 PowerMaster 360 Installer's Guide 83
APPENDIX H. Sabbath Mode
H1. General Guidance
The Sabbath Mode allows you to use the alarm system without violating the Sabbath. The basic feature of this alarm
system is that the PIR sensors are not activated during Disarm mode.
The method of installation, as illustrated in the drawing below, is used in order to prevent transmission from the
magnetic contact device. The MC-302E device is used only as a transmitting device to report the status of the door to
the control panel. A wired magnetic contact is connected to the input of the MC-302E device and an open/close switch
is connected in parallel to the MC-302E input.
Note: Before the Sabbath, closing the circuit neutralizes the detector’s magnet. You can use the front door without
violating the Sabbath. On the Sabbath day itself, you can open the switch to allow the door to be protected. This

APPENDIX I. Glossary
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. If you cause an alarm accidentally, you can disarm the system within the abort period
before the real sirens start and before the alarm is reported to the remote responders.
Alarm: There are 2 kinds of alarms:
Loud alarm - the external siren blares out constantly and the control panel reports the event.
Silent alarm - the sirens remain silent, but the control panel reports the event.
A state of alarm is caused by:
• Motion detected by a motion detector (when the system is in the Armed state)
• Change of state detected by a magnetic contact detector - a closed window or door is opened
• Detection of smoke by a smoke detector, detection of gas by a gas detector and detection of water based fluids by
a flood detector (when in any state).
• Tampering with any one of the detectors
Arming: Arming the alarm system is an action that prepares it to sound an alarm if a zone is “violated” by motion or by
opening a door or window, as the case may be. The control panel may be armed in various modes (see AWAY, HOME,
INSTANT and LATCHKEY).
Assigned: Refers to zones.
Associated: Refers to devices.
AWAY: This type of arming is used when the protected site is vacated entirely. All zones, interior and perimeter alike,
are protected.
Chime Zones: Allow you to keep track of activity in the protected area while the alarm system is in the disarmed state.
Whenever a chime zone is "opened", the buzzer beeps twice via the Configuration device (PC or mobile). The buzzer
does not beep, however, upon closing the zone (return to normal). Residences can use this feature to annunciate
visitors or look after children. Businesses can use it to signal when customers enter the premises or when personnel
enter restricted areas.
Note: Your installer will never designate a 24-hour zone or a fire zone as a chime zone, because both zone types
actuate an alarm if disturbed while the system is in the disarmed state.
Although one zone or more are designated as chime zones, you can still enable or disable the chime function.
Communicators: Refers to communication channel, for example, GSM.
Control Panel: The control panel is a cabinet that incorporates the electronic circuitry and microprocessor that control
the alarm system. It collects information from various sensors, processes it and responds in various ways. It also
includes the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad, display, sounder and loudspeaker.
Default Settings: Settings that are applicable to a specific device group.
Detector: The device (apparatus) that sends an alarm, that communicates with the control panel (for example,
Next PG2 is a motion detector; SMD-426 PG2 is a smoke detector).
Disarming: The opposite of arming - an action that restores the control panel to the normal standby state. In this state,
only fire and 24-hour zones will sound an alarm if violated, but a “panic alarm” may also be initiated.
Disturbed Zone: A zone in a state of alarm (this may be caused by an open window or door or by motion in the field of
view of a motion detector). A disturbed zone is considered “not secured”.
Forced Arming: When any one of the system zones is disturbed (open), the alarm system cannot be armed. One way
to solve this problem is to find and eliminate the cause for zone disturbance (closing doors and windows). Another way
to deal with this is to impose forced arming - automatic de-activation of zones that are still disturbed upon termination
of the exit delay. Bypassed zones will not be protected throughout the arming period. Even if restored to normal
(closed), bypassed zones will remain unprotected until the system is disarmed.
Permission to “force arm” is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.
HOME: This type of arming is used when people are present within the protected site. A classic example is night-time
at home, when the family is about to retire to bed. With HOME arming, perimeter zones are protected but interior zones
are not. Consequently, motion within interior zones will be ignored by the control panel, but disturbance of a perimeter
zone will cause an alarm.
Instant: You can arm the system AWAY-INSTANT or HOME-INSTANT, thereby canceling the entry delay for all delay
zones for the duration of one arming period.
For example, you may arm the control panel in the HOME-INSTANT mode and remain within the protected area. Only
perimeter protection is active, and if you do not expect somebody to drop in while the system is armed, alarm upon
entry via the main door is an advantage.
To disarm the system without causing an alarm, use your control keypad (which is normally accessible without
disturbing a perimeter zone) or use a keyfob transmitter.
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 when they disarm the system.
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.

Location: Assigning a named location to a device (for example, Garage, Front Door etc.)
Magnetic Contact Detector, Wireless: A Magnet- controlled switch and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a shared
housing. The detector is mounted on doors and windows to detect changes in state (from closed to open and vice
versa). Upon sensing that a door or window is open, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied
by an “alarm” signal and various other status signals to the control panel.
The control panel, if not armed at that time, will consider the alarm system as “not ready for arming” until it receives a
“restored” signal from the same detector.
Motion Detector, Wireless: A passive Infrared motion sensor and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a shared housing.
Upon sensing motion, the detector transmits its unique identification code, accompanied by an alarm signal and various
other status signals to the control panel. After transmission, it stands by to sense further motion.
Non-Alarm Zone: Your installer can designate a zone for roles other than alarm. For instance, a motion detector
installed in a dark stairway may be used to switch on lights automatically when someone crosses the dark area.
Another example is a wireless transmitter linked to a zone that controls a gate opening mechanism.
Quick Arming: Arming without a user code. The control panel does not request your user code when you press one of the
arming buttons. Permission to use this arming method is given or denied by the installer while programming the system.
Remote Responder: A responder can be either a professional service provider to which the home or business owner
subscribes (a Monitoring Station) or a family relation/friend who agrees to look after the protected site during absence
of its occupants. The control panel reports events by telephone to both kinds of responders.
Restore: When a detector reverts from the state of alarm to the normal standby state, it is said to have been “restored”.
A motion detector restores automatically after detection of movement, and becomes ready to detect again. This kind of
“restore” is not reported to the remote responders.
A magnetic contact detector restores only upon closure of the protected door or window. This kind of “restore” is
reported to the remote responders.
Sensor: The sensing element: pyroelectric sensor, photo-diode, microphone, smoke optical sensor etc.
Signal Strength: The quality link communication between the system components and the control panel.
Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a wireless PowerG transmitter in a shared housing. Upon
detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and various
status signals to the control panel. Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm is initiated.
State: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY, FORCED, BYPASS.
Status: AC fail, low battery, trouble, etc.
User Codes: The PowerMaster 360 is designed to obey your commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid
security access code.
Unauthorized people do not know this code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the system is bound to fail.
Some operations, however, can be carried out without a user code as they do not degrade the security level of the
alarm system.
Virtual Keypad: Contains the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad and display.
Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under supervision of a specific detector. During programming, the
installer allows the control panel to learn the detector’s identity code and links it to the desired zone. Since the zone is
distinguished by number and name, the control panel can report the zone status to the user and register in its memory
all the events reported by the zone detector. Instant and delay zones are “on watch” only when the control panel is
armed, and other (24-hour) zones are “on watch” regardless of whether the system is armed or not.
Zone Type: The zone type determines how the system handles alarms and other signals sent from the device.

Preparing to Arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed.
HH:MM READY
This indicates that all zones are secured and you may arm the system as desired.
If at least one zone is open (disturbed) the display will read:
HH:MM NOT READY
This indicates that the system is not ready for arming and in most cases that one or more
zones are not secured. However, it can also mean that an unresolved condition exists
such as certain trouble conditions, jamming etc., depending on system configuration.
![](/img.php?id=2905337&img=bg5a.png)
PowerMaster 360 Quick User Guide
To review the open zones click . The details and location of the first open zone detector (usually an open
door or window sensor) will be displayed. To fix the open zone, locate the sensor and secure it (close the door
or window) – see "device locator" below. Each click of will display another open zone or trouble indication.
It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus restoring the system to the state of “ready to arm”. If you
do not know how to do this, consult your installer.
Note: To quit at any stage and to revert to the "READY" display, click .
Device Locator: The PowerMaster 360 system has a powerful device locator that helps you to identify open or
troubled devices indicated on the LCD display. While the LCD displays an open or faulty device, the LED on the
respective device flashes indicating "it's me". The "it's me" indication will appear on the device within max. 16
seconds and will last for as long as the LCD displays the device.
Zone Bypass Scheme
Bypassing permits arming only part of the system and at the same time allowing free movement of people within
certain zones when the system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from service faulty zones that
require repair work or to deactivate a sensor if, for example, you are decorating a room.
You can set the Zone Bypass Scheme i.e. to scroll through the list of registered (enrolled) sensors to your
PowerMaster 360 system and to Bypass (deactivate) faulty or disturbed sensors (either READY or NOT-
READY) or to Clear (reactivate) BYPASSED zones (sensors).
Once you have set a Bypass Scheme you can use the following 3 options:
• To quickly clear a bypassed zone i.e. to reactivate the bypassed zone – refer to Chapter 4, section B.1 of the
PowerMaster 360 User’s Guide.
• To quickly review the bypassed zones – refer to Chapter 4, section B.2 of the PowerMaster 360 User’s Guide.
• To repeat (recall) the last used zone bypassing scheme – refer to Chapter 4, section B.3 of the PowerMaster
360 User’s Guide.
