1. Introduction
Preface
The PowerMaster 360 is a highly advanced wireless alarm control system produced by Visonic Ltd.
Note: Make sure that you have the name and telephone number of the monitoring station your system will report
to. When calling the monitoring station to ask questions, you should have access to your "ACCOUNT NUMBER"
used to identify your alarm system to the monitoring station. Obtain this information from your installer and write it.
Overview
The PowerMaster 360 is a wireless alarm system for detecting and alerting in case of burglary, fire and a variety
of other security and safety hazards. In addition, it can be used to monitor the activity of disabled or elderly
people left at home. System status information is presented visually.
The system includes an optional partition feature (for a description of this feature, refer to Appendix B).
The PowerMaster 360 is governed by a control panel (Figure 1a) and Virtual Keypad (Figure 1b) / VISONIConfig
(Figure 1c) designed to collect data from various sensors that are strategically located within and along the
perimeter of the protected site.
The alarm system can be armed or disarmed by a variety of keyfobs and keypads using special codes.
In the disarmed state, the system provides you with visual status information, and initiates an alarm if smoke is
detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone (a zone which is active 24-hours a day).
In the armed state, the system initiates an alarm upon detection of disturbance in any one of the armed zones.
Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted areas.
The system identifies a wide range of events - alarms, attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of
trouble. Events are automatically reported via Broadband or GPRS communication to monitoring stations (in IP
form) and to private telephones (SMS messages) or emails (via the server). The person receiving such a
message is expected to investigate the event and act accordingly.
IMPORTANT! All you need to know to secure your premises can be found in Chapter 2 of this manual.
If you are not familiar with some of the terms used here, refer to Appendix C at the end of this guide.
Note: This system must be checked by a qualified technician at least once a year.
System Features
Your PowerMaster 360 offers a large number of unique features:
• Master / User Settings: Two user levels allow different access types (see Chapter 4. Menus and Functions,
section B.4 Programming User Codes).
• 30 detector zones: Each detector zone is identified by zone number and name (location).
• Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY- INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY and BYPASS.
• Virtual Keypad / VISONIConfig: Plain-language status information and prompts are displayed on the Virtual
Keypad / VISONIConfig.
• Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the Virtual Keypad display. This feature is also used for the
log file by providing the date and time of each event.
• Various reporting destinations: Events can be reported automatically to monitoring stations, private
telephones and mobile phones of your choice, and even by SMS if GSM is installed (see Chapter 4. Menus
and Functions).
• Selective reporting: Your installer can determine what type of events will be reported to which destination.
• Latchkey mode: An automatic “Latchkey” message is sent to chosen telephones if the system is disarmed by
a “latchkey” user (a junior family member, for instance). (See Chapter 2.)
• Access from remote telephones: You may access the PowerMaster 360 from a remote telephone and
Arm/Disarm it or receive system status information (see Chapter 5).
• Numerical keys serve as function keys: When the system is disarmed, the numerical keys are used also to
control various system functions. A simple icon on each key identifies the task of that key.
• Data retrieval: You can obtain status information, trouble information and review memorized alarm events
visually (see Chapter 3).
• Event log: System events are memorized in an event log that stores the most recent events, each tagged
with the time and date of the event. You can access this log and review the past events in case of need such
as after a burglary (see Chapter 8. Maintenance).
INTRODUCTION
4 D-305736 PowerMaster 360 User's Guide
• Looking after elderly, physically handicapped and infirm individuals: The system can be programmed to
monitor people activity within the protected area and send out an alert message if no movement is detected in
the area for a predefined period of time (See Chapter 4. Menus and Functions).
• Distress calls: Keyfobs may be used to activate this function by the simultaneous pressing of two buttons.
• Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly compelled to disarm the system, he can do so using a special
code ("Duress Code") that disarms the system as usual, but also sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station
(see Chapter 2. Operating the PowerMaster 360 System).
• System supervision: All wireless peripherals within the protected site send periodic keep alive supervision
messages. If such a message is overdue, the Virtual Keypad displays a 'missing' trouble message. Your
installer can disable this feature if so desired.
• Battery supervision: The PowerMaster 360 continuously monitors the battery condition of the sensors and
devices in the system and the Virtual Keypad displays a ‘Low Battery’ message whenever a battery needs to
be replaced within a maximum of 30 days. Wireless sirens can still provide 2 siren alarms before the siren
becomes totally inactive.
Note: When the ‘Low Battery’ message is received, the battery should be replaced within 7 days.

Virtual Keypad / VISONIConfig Display
The Virtual Keypad / VISONIConfig displays system status and events, time and date, programming instructions
and also an event log file which is accompanied by the date and time of each event. The normal display
alternates with the time and the system status, for example:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY MEMORY
Screen Saver Mode
For security reasons, it is sometimes required to hide the status indication (Virtual Keypad and LED display)
from a potential intruder. If the Screen Saver option is enabled by the installer, then if no key is pressed for more
than 30 seconds, the Virtual Keypad display will read “PowerMaster 360” and the LEDs will stop indicating any
status. Pressing any key will resume the normal status display. Pressing the Fire or Emergency keys will also
initiate the Fire or Emergency alarm.
If configured by the installer for additional security, the system will ask you to enter your user code as well
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 Virtual Keypad 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 user code, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc.
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.
When the system is disarmed, after presenting a valid proximity tag to the control panel, the message "<OK> for
AWAY" is displayed. Now you can press the button to immediately arm the control panel, or wait for 3
second for system automatic AWAY arming (the message "Please exit now" will be displayed). Presenting the
proximity tag once again will DISARM the system.
Instead of pressing the button (see above), you can press the button once / twice (the
message "<OK> for HOME" / "<OK> for disarm" is displayed, accordingly) and then press the press
button for HOME arming / disarming.
Users and Codes
As a master User (User No.1) you will need a 4-digit security code to master the system (code 0000 is not
allowed).You can also authorize 7 other persons to use the system by providing them with their own security
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 4, B.4 Programming User Codes).
Moreover, you can obtain up to 8 multi-function portable keyfob transmitters that will allow you and the other
users to easily arm, disarm and control the system without accessing the panel, including from outside the
premises (see Chapter 2 and Chapter 4, 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 (See chapter 2).

2. Operating the PowerMaster 360 System
For more information regarding terms used in this chapter, refer to APPENDIX C. GLOSSARY.
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.
READY HH:MM 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:
NOT READY HH:MM
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 . 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 Virtual Keypad display. While the Virtual Keypad 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 Virtual Keypad 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 ARM to HOME, he will be prompted to enter the user code thus bypassing the QUICK ARM
option.

Disarming and Stopping Alarm
Enter the protected premises via a delayed zone. Upon detecting your entrance, the system will start sounding
the entry delay beeps via the Virtual Keypad alerting you to disarm the system before the entry delay ends.
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL
10 D-305736 PowerMaster 360 User's Guide
After disarming, different displays may appear indicating that the system is in a state of alarm MEMORY. The
MEMORY message will disappear only upon rearming the system. To disarm the system, proceed as shown:

READY HH:MM
ARM indicator extinguishes during the disarmed state. Disarming the system also stops the siren alarm,
irrespective of whether the alarm was initiated during the armed or the 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 MODE 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
Note: The “Sad Tune” will be heard when selecting a partition to which no sensors / peripherals were enrolled.
Special Arming & Disarming Options
In addition to basic arming, PowerMaster 360 provides you with several advanced arming and disarming
options:
Switching from ‘HOME’ to ‘AWAY’
You do not have to disarm the system - just press . The response will be the same as in ARMING
AWAY above. Vacate the premises before the exit delay expires.
Switching from ‘AWAY’ to ‘HOME’
You do not have to disarm the system - just press . Since this operation reduces the security level,
PowerMaster 360 will ask you to key in your master user code or user code, thus making sure that you are an
authorized user.

Forced Arming AWAY or HOME
Forced arming allows you to arm the system even if the system is "NOT READY". Any open zones will be
bypassed for the duration of arming.
Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer “protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit
delay until the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.
If forced arming is enabled and you wish to arm the system when NOT READY is displayed, proceed as shown:

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 through 8. 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

REVIEWING TROUBLES AND ALARM MEMORY
14 D-305736 PowerMaster 360 User's Guide
3. Reviewing Troubles and Alarm memory
Alarm & Tamper Memory Indication
The PowerMaster 360 retains in its memory alarm and “tamper” events that occurred during the last arming
period.
Note: Alarm events are memorized only after the “abort period” (see Appendix C). This means that if you disarm
the system immediately - before the abort period expires - there will be no memory indication
A. Indication of Alarm & Tamper Condition
If the system is disarmed following an alarm event, a flashing MEMORY message will be displayed, as follows:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY MEMORY
B. Displaying Alarm & Tamper Information
To review memory content, click button.
EXAMPLE: An alarm was triggered because the garage door - zone No. 12 – was opened but then closed. In
addition, the bedroom motion detector - zone No. 7 - sent a “Tamper” message because its cover had been
removed.

If the system is NOT READY, the display will first read the open zones and then alarm memory events.
Clearing the Memory Indication
To clear the ‘Memory’ indication you must first review the cause of alarm as described above. Once you return
to the ‘Ready’ screen simply press Away and enter the code if requested, then press Disarm
followed by the code. The memory message will now clear. Otherwise the memory indication and content will be
cleared upon the next arming of the system.
Troubles
A. Indication of Trouble condition
If the system detected a trouble condition in any of the enrolled devices, the TROUBLE indicator on the Virtual
Keypad illuminates, 3 beeps are sounded via the Virtual Keypad once per minute and a flashing TRBL message
is displayed, as follows.
READY HH:MM
NOT READY HH:MM
(alternating)
(alternating)
READY TRBL

or, if the system is not ready for arming
B. Displaying Trouble Information
All trouble messages need to be reviewed and corrected as described below:
EXAMPLE: The kitchen device - zone No. 9 - has reported a low battery – the living room device zone No. 15 -
has been inactive, and an attempt to communicate a message to your telephone has failed. However, these
troubles do not prevent the system from being “ready to arm”.

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.
General Indications
After all trouble messages have been reviewed and if a SIM card is installed in the panel, the Virtual Keypad 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).
Correcting Trouble Situations
The trouble indications (illuminated TROUBLE indicator and flashing TRBL message) are cleared once you
eliminate the cause of trouble. The table below describes the system faults and respective corrective actions. If
you do not know how to correct a trouble situation, report it to your installer and seek his advice.

B.1 Setting the Zone Bypass Scheme
Bypassing permits arming only part of the system while 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 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 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.

B.4 Programming User Codes
PowerMaster 360 system allows you to authorize up to 8 people to arm and disarm the system by providing
each with a unique 4 digit personal security code, and assigning them with different security levels and
functionalities. Moreover, you can obtain up to 8 multi-function portable keyfob transmitters that will allow you
and the other users to easily arm, disarm and control the system without accessing the 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:

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 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 Mode menu.
User Codes 5-8 are the same as user codes 2-4 but can be assigned to "Latchkey" (child monitor) users. For
a detailed explanation of the Latchkey application see Chapter 2 (Arming in the Latchkey Mode) and
Appendix C.
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 Mode 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 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 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 360 systems and is
known to many other people. Therefore, we highly recommend that you immediately replace it with a
unique secret code. Never set any user code the same as any installer code.
2. Code "0000" is not valid! Do not use it.
3. The duress code (2580 by default), which is set in the Installer Mode menu, cannot be selected as a
normal user code. Any attempt to program it will be rejected by the system.
4. Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references 1 etc –

B.6 Add / Delete Proximity Tags
A proximity tag may be assigned to each of the user codes 1-8 that can be used instead of the user codes to
perform a variety of functions, for example, arming, disarming, reading the event log, etc.
Whenever a user code is required you can simply present a valid proximity tag instead of entering the user
code. Each tag should be assigned with a serial No. 1-8 that corresponds to the User Code No. 1-8 and
enrolled into the system correspondingly.
The partition authorization of the tags is identical to their corresponding user codes. For example, proximity tag
3 is assigned to user code 3.

predetermined time limits.
To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer to program a specific time limit beyond which lack of
motion will be reported as a “not active” alert. For example, let us assume that an elderly, sick or handicapped
person is left unattended in a protected site. This person, disabled or sick as he may be, will not stay entirely still
for hours and is expected to wander into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to the bathroom for other necessities.
Upon doing so, the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will detect his movement.
Important!
To enable motion detectors to function during the disarmed state, all motion detectors must be configured by the
installer to detect activity during disarmed state (i.e. "DISARM Activity" recommended setting ""YES + 5m delay").
For further details, refer to the motion detector's Installation Instructions.
If, for example, the “lack of motion” time limit is set by your installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will carry
out a 6-hour “countdown”.
If motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame, the countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual 6-
hour clock will be “reset”) and no alert message will be sent out.
If no motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame in any interior zone, the control panel will send a
“not-active” alert message to the monitoring station or to private telephones designated by the installer.
Acknowledging “low battery” condition in Keyfobs
Some regulations and institutions require the user to acknowledge when the keyfob enters the “low battery”
condition. In such cases the installer will program the system to operate as follows:
If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard for 15
seconds. During this period you should press again the disarm button of the keyfob or control panel (for the
control panel, a user code is required) to disarm the system. If you perform this action during the 15 seconds
period, a Low Bat acknowledge message will be stored in the event log.
If the disarm button is not pressed again during the 15 seconds period you will not be able to rearm the system
unless you perform either one of the following actions:
A. Press AWAY twice to arm the system.
B. Press AWAY and then press disarm button.
Performing either of these two actions will also store the acknowledge message in the event log.

7. Testing the System
Periodic Test
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 four 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 Virtual Keypad
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.
Email Test: Generates an event to be sent to the predefined private email addresses (see Chapter 4,
section B.12)
Carefully read the section titled "Additional Information" according to the indicated references1 etc –
see table at end of this section.

MAINTENANCE
44 D-305736 PowerMaster 360 User's Guide
8. Maintenance
Replacing the Backup Battery
There is generally no need to replace the battery since the battery is rechargeable. If a CPU LOW BATTERY
trouble message is received when the control panel is connected to AC power and this trouble state continues
for more than a few hours, the battery may need to be replaced. An original Visonic battery must be used of
which there are a number of types. For assistance in battery replacement, contact Technical Support.
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 3 -
Correcting Trouble Situations).
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: ENTER CODE ___.
Key your secret 4-digit <User Code> - 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.
Cleaning the Control Panel
The control panel may occasionally get stained if touched with greasy fingers, and may accumulate dust after a
long period of use. Clean it only with a soft cloth or sponge moistened lightly with a mixture of water and mild
detergent, and then wipe it dry.
The use of abrasives of any kind is strictly forbidden. Also never use solvents such as alcohol, kerosene,
acetone or thinner. These will certainly ruin the external finish and damage the transparency of the top window.
Event Log
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 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 first, then the date and
time. The two displays are shown alternately 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.
To read the event log, proceed as follows:

APPENDIX B. PARTITIONING
The control panel 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 Virtual Keypad / VISONIConfig display. 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.
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.
B1. Selecting a Partition
When operating in partition mode the first display will read:
P1: R P2: N P3: R

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 that there is 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

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. Table A1 summarizes the behavior of the different zone types in a common area.
APPENDICES
D-305736 PowerMaster 360 User's Guide 51
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
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 and external sirens 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 via the Virtual Keypad. 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.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”.

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 PowerMaster 360 system includes a powerful device locator that helps you to identify the actual
device displayed on the Virtual Keypad display, as follows:
While the Virtual Keypad 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
Virtual Keypad 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.
APPENDICES

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 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 / VISONIConfig: 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.

APPENDIX D. 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. Don’t forget to mark
the location of every smoke detector.
Test all smoke detectors (by a qualified testing laboratory) periodically, to ensure their serviceability.
Replace batteries as required.
• Make sure that everyone understands the escape plan and recognizes the sound of smoke alarm. Verify
that the escape routes are clear and that doors and windows can be opened easily.
• If windows or doors in your home have security bars, make sure that the bars have quick-release mechanisms
on the inside, so that they can be opened immediately in an emergency case. Quick release mechanisms won’t
compromise your security, but they will increase your chances of safely escaping a home fire.
• Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everybody is involved - from kids to
grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night
when they are sleeping. The objective is to practice, not to frighten, so telling children there will be a drill
before they go to bed can be as effective as a surprise drill. If children or others do not readily waken to the
sound of the smoke alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that
someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of an emergency.
• Agree on an outside meeting place where everyone can meet after they’ve escaped. Remember to get out
first, and then call for help. Never go back inside until the fire department gives the OK.
• Have everyone memorize the emergency phone number of the fire department. That way any member of
the household can call from a cellular phone or a neighbor’s home.
• Be fully prepared for a real fire: when a smoke alarm sounds, get out immediately and once you are out,
stay out - leave the firefighting to the professional!
• If you live in an apartment building, make sure that you are familiar with the building evacuation plan. In case
of a fire, use the stairs, never the elevator.
Tell guests or visitors to your home about your family’s fire escape plan. When visiting other people’s home, ask
about their escape plan. If they don’t have a plan in place, offer to help them make one. This is especially
important when children are permitted to attend “sleepovers” at friends' homes.
