1. Introduction
D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide 3
1. Introduction
KP-250 PG2 is a 2-way wireless PowerG keypad display device for use with the PowerMaster-10 G2 / PowerMaster-30 G2 /
PowerMaster-33 G2 control panel (version 18 and higher). Up to 10 KP-250 PG2 keypads can be enrolled in the
PowerMaster system. The PowerMaster-10 G2 / PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2 is a highly advanced wireless
alarm control panel produced by Visonic Ltd.
2. Additional System Features
Partitioning
Partitioning allows you to divide the system into three independently controllable areas with different users assigned to
each partition whereby each user can arm the partition to which they are assigned. For detailed information on
Partitioning, see APPENDIX B.
Screen Saver
For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the status indication (LCD and LED display) on the KP-250 PG2
keypad from a potential intruder.
When operated by AC power and the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more
than 30 seconds, the screen saver will turn on and the LEDs will stop indicating any status.
When operated by batteries and the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more
than 10 seconds, the display will turn off and the LEDs will stop indicating any status.
Pressing any key will resume the normal status display. Pressing the Fire, Emergency or Panic keys will also initiate the
Fire, Emergency or Panic alarm.
If configured by the installer for additional security, the system will ask you to enter your user code or to present your
proximity tag before resuming the normal display.
When partition is enabled, the installer can configure the system so that if no key is pressed during more than 30
seconds the date and time will appear on the display.
Proximity Tags
Your system responds to valid proximity tags enrolled to the system. The proximity tag enables you to perform a variety
of functions without entering a user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc.
1. Whenever the user code is required, you can simply present a valid proximity tag and perform the desired operation
without the need to key-in your user code.
- OR -
2. When the system is disarmed and after presenting a valid proximity tag to the KP-250 PG2 keypad, the message
"<OK> for AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press the button to immediately arm the system, or, press the
button once / twice – the message “<OK> for HOME” / “<OK> for disarm” is displayed – and then press the
button for HOME arming / disarming.1
Note: If you do not press the button (wait for 3 seconds), the system automatically arms AWAY and the display
will read "ARMING AWAY PLEASE EXIT NOW". Presenting the proximity tag once again will DISARM the system.
Users and Codes
Security codes are used mainly to arm and disarm the system or to access information that is restricted only to
authorized users (see Chapter 6, section B.4, Programming User Codes).
Speech & Sound Cont. Push-buttons
The sound and speech-related functions offered by the PowerMaster alarm system can be controlled by the KP-250
PG2 keypad, as detailed in the following list.
1 In option 2, the KP-250 PG2 keypad will not operate (respond) if the KP-250 PG2 is assigned to two or more partitions.

3. Arming and Disarming the System
6 D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide
3. Arming and Disarming the System
Basic Arming and Disarming
Following are a set of procedures for performing basic arming and disarming of the alarm system.
Preparing to Arm
Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.
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.
To review the open zones click on the KP-250 PG2 keypad. 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 on the KP-250 PG2 keypad 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 on the KP-250 PG2 keypad.
Device Locator: The PowerMaster 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.
Arming ‘AWAY' / ‘HOME'
If the system is READY and/or Forced Arming is enabled proceed as shown below. For more information on Forced
Arming, see "Forced Arming AWAY or HOME" below.
If the system is NOT READY and Forced Arming is not permitted, review any open zone detectors to locate and secure
them.
If you want to arm using partitions, see "Partition Selection Process" and then proceed as shown below.
If the user has changed the state of the system from a high security mode to a lower security mode i.e. from ARM to
DISARM, or from AWAY to HOME, he will be prompted to enter the user code or to present his proximity tag thus
bypassing the QUICK ARM option.

disarmed state.
Disarming under Duress
If you are forcibly compelled to disarm the system, enter the duress code (2580 by default) or another code set by the
installer. Disarming will take place normally but a silent alarm will be transmitted to the monitoring station.
Partition Selection Process
Access to any desired partition is achieved through the use of an individual code or proximity tag. It is not possible to
access the INSTALLER MENU if one or more partitions are in the AWAY or HOME modes.
Before attempting to perform any operation on any given partition(s), it is necessary to perform the operations below
which enable you to select the desired/allowed partition(s) using the individual code or proximity tag:
PRESS RESULTING DISPLAY
SELECT PARTITION
Enter partition # (1 - 3) PARTITION 1
Notes:
1. The “Sad Tune” will be heard when selecting a partition to which no sensors / peripherals were enrolled.
2. If a partition is enabled and no zones are assigned to the partition, the icon will appear on the KP-250
PG2 keypad display.
Special Arming & Disarming Options
In addition to basic arming, KP-250 PG2 provides you with several advanced arming and disarming options:

Arming in the Latchkey Mode
This mode, if enabled by the installer, is useful for a parent at work who wants to be sure that his children have returned
from school and have disarmed the system. A special “latchkey” message will be sent out when the system is disarmed
by a “latchkey user”.
Latchkey users are holders of user codes or users of keyfob transmitters 5-8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 23-32
(PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2). The latchkey message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and is
therefore sent to the private telephones programmed by the user as targets for alert messages.
Latchkey arming is possible only when you arm “AWAY”. To arm in the Latchkey mode, proceed as follows:
PRESS RESULTING DISPLAY

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.
C. Reviewing Memory & Troubles at the Same Time
If alarms / tamper events are retained in the alarm memory and at the same time a state of trouble exists, the display
will first read the alarm memory followed by trouble events, as described in sections A & B above.
GSM/GPRS Status Indications
After all trouble messages have been reviewed and if a SIM card is installed in the panel, the KP-250 PG2 displays the
GSM signal strength indication, as follows: "GSM RSSI STRONG" / "GSM RSSI GOOD" / "GSM RSSI POOR".
If a PIR camera is enrolled in the system, the control panel will read "GPRS initialize" to indicate that the modem is
undergoing initialization. This message appears at the end of all trouble messages and immediately following the GSM
signal strength indication (if a SIM card is installed).

B.1 Setting the 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.
Here you can set the Zone Bypass Scheme i.e. to scroll through the list of registered (enrolled) sensors to your
PowerMaster 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 review the bypassed zones – refer to section B.2.
> To quickly clear a bypassed zone i.e. to reactivate the bypassed zone – refer to section B.1.
> To repeat (recall) the last used zone bypassing scheme – refer to section B.3.
1. Zones will be bypassed throughout one disarm-arm period only. Disarming the system after arming will
suspend the entire bypassing scheme but you can recall and reuse it as described in section B.3.
2. Fire zones cannot be bypassed.
3. Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references 1 etc – see
table at end of section B.3.
REMEMBER – ZONE BYPASSING COMPROMISES SECURITY!

B.4 Programming User Codes
PowerMaster system allows you to authorize up to 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 48 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33
G2) people to arm and disarm the system by providing each with a unique 4 digit personal security code (code 0000 is
not allowed), and assigning them with different security levels and functionalities. Moreover, you can obtain up to 8
(PowerMaster-10 G2) / 32 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2) multi-function portable keyfob transmitters that
will allow you and the other users to easily arm, disarm and control the system without accessing the KP-250 PG2 or
panel, including from outside the premises (see section B.7 Add / Delete Keyfob Transmitters). The Duress Code
enables you to disarm the system using a special code that sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station.
There are two types of users: Master User and User. The table below summarizes the different operations that can be
performed by different users:
User type Function
Master User Arm/disarm
Zone bypass
Authorize other user codes
Set user codes
Report to private
Enroll/delete proximity tag
Enroll/delete keyfob
Automatic arming
Enable squawk
Set date and time format
Read event log
Programming the duress code
Programming the scheduler
Enabling/disabling voice option
Adjusting volume
User Arm/disarm
Zone bypass options
The user codes are assigned as follows:
User Code 1 is assigned to the Master User of the system (i.e. the owner). It is the only user code that allows access to
the User Settings menu. The default setting of the Master User code is 1111. This code cannot be erased and must be
replaced with a secret code as soon as possible.
User Codes 2-4 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / User Codes 2-22 and 33-48 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2) are
assigned to family members, co-workers etc. They enable arming and disarming of the system or of selected partitions
as defined by the Master User. They can access the "User Settings" menu only for "zone bypassing" provided this
option is enabled in the Installer menu.
6. System Configuration
26 D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide
User Codes 5-8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / User Codes 23-32 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2) are the
same as user codes 2-4 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 2-22 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2) but can be assigned
to "Latchkey" (child monitor) users. For a detailed explanation of the Latchkey application see Chapter 3.
A. To Program a User Code
Partition Option (For information about Partition option - see APPENDIX B)
Your alarm system can divide zones into up to 3 parts (groups) via the installer menu. These parts are
designated as partitions P1, P2 & P3. Each partition can be armed and disarmed separately, providing protection
to selected parts of the premises.
Each user out of the 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 48 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2) system users can
be authorized by the Master User to arm and disarm any combination of partitions including all 3 partitions.
Here you can program (or edit) the 8 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 48 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2)
User Codes and thereby define which of these will be authorized to arm and disarm.
1. The default setting 1111 of the Master User Code is the same for all PowerMaster systems and is known to
many other people. Therefore, we highly recommend that you immediately replace it with a unique secret
code.
2. Code "0000" is not valid! Do not use it.
3. The duress code (2580 by default), which is set in the installer menu, cannot be selected as a normal user
code. Any attempt to program it will be rejected by the system.

Control Options and Pushbuttons
The system allows manual or automatic remote control of a device connected to the PGM output.
The user defines the ON and OFF times via the Scheduler (see Chapter 6, B.14 Programming the Scheduler). The
installer determines which zone sensors will switch the remote controlled appliances on and off. However, the decision
whether the remote controlled appliance will respond as programmed is up to you (see next table).
Key Function
Manual activation of a light or other household electrical appliance that is connected to PGM output.
Manual deactivation of a light or other household electrical appliance that is connected to PGM output.
Selecting the active automatic control method:
Sensors: The appliance is controlled by sensors (assigned by the installer for this).
Timer: The appliance is controlled by timer (ON and OFF times are defined by the installer).
Both: The appliance is controlled by sensors as well as by a timer.
Examples of benefits gained by automatic remote control:
Timer Control. When you are away, the timed activation / de-activation of an electrical appliance.
Zone Control. Upon disturbance of a perimeter zone, the electrical device is switched on.
Note: Automatic activation and deactivation of electrical appliance depends also on the Scheduler setup (see
Chapter 6, B.14 Programming the Scheduler).

8. Periodic Test by User Code
The components of your security system are designed to be maintenance-free as much as possible. Nevertheless, it is
mandatory to test the system at least once a week and after an alarm event to verify that all system sirens, detectors,
keyfobs, keypads and other peripherals function properly. Proceed as described in this section and if there is any
problem, notify your installer at once.
The test is performed in three parts:
Siren Test: Each siren of the system is automatically activated for 3 seconds (outdoor sirens with low volume). In
addition, the system tests the siren of enrolled smoke sensors.
Temperature Sensor Test: When Temperature Sensors are enrolled in the system, the KP-250 PG2 displays the
temperature of each zone in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Other Device Test: Each of the other devices in the system is activated by the user and the display indicates which
devices were not yet tested. The "it's me" indication helps to identify the untested devices if necessary. A counter also
indicates the number of devices that remain untested.
Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references1 etc – see table
at end of this section.

Replacing Wireless Devices Batteries
The wireless devices supplied with your system are powered by batteries that last several years, in normal use.
However, if and when a battery becomes weak, the device itself sends a “low battery” message to the control panel, and
a low battery trouble message is displayed together with the zone information (see Chapter 5 – Trouble Indications).
The respective manuals of these sensors or devices should be consulted for proper battery replacement guidelines to
be performed by the installer.
Accessing 24-Hour Zones
To access a sensor defined as a 24-hour zone without causing an alarm:
Click - the display will read: USER SETTINGS.
Click - the display will read: PRESENT TAG OR ENTER CODE ___.
Key your secret 4-digit <User Code> or present your tag - the buzzer will play the “happy Tune” (- - - ––––).
You have 4 minutes during which the 24-hour sensor can be opened and accessed. When the 4 minutes are up, the
system will automatically revert to the normal mode.
Event Log by User Code
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.
Note: Up to 250 (PowerMaster-10 G2) / 1000 (PowerMaster-30 G2 / PowerMaster-33 G2) events are stored in the
event log that can be reviewed via the Remote Programmer PC software application or by the remote PowerManage
server.
If the event log fills up completely, the oldest event is deleted upon registration of each new event.
The date and time of occurrence are memorized for each event. When reading the event log, events are shown in
chronological order - from the newest to the oldest. The event description is shown with the date and time. The display
is shown several times, until you click to move on to an older event, or until the “no action” 4-minute timeout
restores the system to the normal operating mode.
Access to the event log is provided by clicking the button and then keying your master user code.

APPENDIX B: Partitioning
The KP-250 PG2 includes an optional partition feature. Partitioning is available only if your installer has enabled the
feature. Once partitioning is enabled Partitioning menus are added to the system which can be viewed on the LCD
display.
Each user code can be assigned to a combination of up to 3 partitions and each partition can be armed or disarmed
regardless of the status of the other partitions within the system. For example, you can define the garage as partition 1,
the basement as partition 2, and the house as partition 3. Since each partition is independent of other partitions, you can
arm or disarm each partition as desired without altering the states of the other partitions.
The system also supports a situation where an area is used by two or more partitions. For example, a reception area
which is common to two offices, each of which is assigned to a separate partition, will be armed only after both offices
(partitions) are armed. In the armed state the reception area will be disarmed after either office (partitions) has been
disarmed to allow the user of that office to use the reception area without generating an alarm. Such an area is termed a
"common area".
Note: Remote operation is performed per partition, or per user code defined for a particular partition, when partition is
enabled.

selected partition. Press repeatedly to view memory / status content.
Note: After 5 seconds of no button press there will be a timeout and the display will revert to the all partition display.
B4. Siren
A partition is alarmed when receiving an event from an alarmed device assigned to that partition. Alarmed devices do
not affect partitions to which they are not assigned. A siren is common to all partitions; therefore, an alarm from one or
more partitions will activate the siren.
Siren Activity
The siren will be activated when receiving an event from an alarmed device.
Overlapping siren activations from different partitions will not cause the duration of the siren to be extended.
When the siren sounds, it will not stop until all alarmed partitions are disarmed. However if the siren is active due
to an alarm from a common area zone, and one of the partitions assigned to this area disarms the system, the
siren will also stop. In case that the alarm is initiated from a common area but continues with zones that are not
assigned to a common area, the siren will not stop until all partitions assigned to the alarmed zones are
disarmed.
In case of a fire in partition 1 and a burglary in partition 2, the siren will sound FIRE. When partition 1 is
disarmed, the siren will sound BURGLAR for the remainder of the siren timeout period.
B5. Partition Status display
Partitions status is indicated in the following manner:
P1:X P2:X P3:X
Each X value indicates a different partition state, as follows:
R Ready
N Not ready
A Away
H Home
E Exit delay
D Entry delay
- Not used
B6. 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.
APPENDIX B: Partitioning
D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide 59
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.

APPENDIX C: Glossary
60 D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide
APPENDIX C: Glossary
This list of terms is arranged in alphabetical order.
Abort Period: When an alarm is initiated, the internal built-in 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 alarm:
Loud alarm - both internal built-in sounder and external siren blare out constantly and the control panel reports the event
by telephone or otherwise.
Silent alarm - the sirens remain silent, but the control panel reports the event by telephone or otherwise.
A state of alarm is caused by:
Motion detected by a motion detector
Change of state detected by a magnetic contact detector - a closed window or door is opened
Detection of smoke by a smoke detector
Tampering with any one of the detectors
Pressing the two emergency buttons simultaneously on the panel's keypad.
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.
Bypass: Bypassed zones are zones that are not armed when arming the system. Bypassing permits arming only part of
the system while allowing free movement of people within certain zones when the system is armed.
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. The buzzer doesn't beep, however, upon closing the zone
(return to normal). Residences can use this feature to annunciate visitors. Businesses can use it to signal when
customers enter the premises or when personnel enter restricted areas.
Note: A 24-hour zone or a fire zone should not be designated 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 using the
chime ON/OFF button and .LED
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 (e.g. 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 an “emergency 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”.
APPENDIX C: Glossary
D-304269 KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide 61
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.
It's me: The KP-250 PG2 system includes a powerful device locator that helps you to identify the actual device
displayed on the LCD, as follows:
While the LCD displays a zone (device), the LED on the respective device flashes indicating "it's me". The "it's me"
indication appears after a certain time delay (max. 16 seconds) and will last for as long as the LCD displays the device
with a timeout of 2 minutes.
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 parents want 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.
Magnetic Contact Sensor: A Magnet-controlled switch and a wireless transmitter in a shared housing. The sensor 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 sensor transmits an “alarm” signal to the control panel. The control panel, if not armed at
that time, will consider the alarm system as “not ready for arming” until the door or window is secured and the panel
receives a “restored” signal from the same sensor.
Motion Sensor: A passive Infrared motion sensor. Upon sensing motion, the sensor transmits an alarm signal 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 sensor installed
in a dark stairway may be used to switch on lights automatically when someone crosses the dark area. Another example
is a miniature 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. A magnetic
contact detector restores only upon closure of the protected door or window.
Sensor: The sensing element: pyroelectric sensor, photo-diode, microphone, smoke optical sensor etc.
Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a wireless PowerG transceiver 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, system state etc.
User Codes: The KP-250 PG2 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.
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.
