Section 1: Lets Get Acquainted

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of Rokonets ORBIT-PRO Security System. The ORBIT-PRO has been specifically designed to meet a wide range of security needs for many residential and commercial applications. You communicate with your ORBIT-PRO through its keypad(s). There are two types of keypads: one with LEDs display, and the other with LCD display. Using its keys, you can issue commands to your system. In turn, the system can communicate information to you via its display, indicators and by the sounds it makes. Your ORBIT-PRO security system also consists of a variety of sensors, detectors, and contacts placed throughout the premises and designed to recognize abnormal conditions. Typically, your system protects against intrusion. Some systems may also have fire protection or environmental protection (such as gas or water level sensors) All of your system's detectors, sensors, and contacts are wired to the control panel. As such, your system always knows the status of any protected door, window, hallway, room, or area. Similarly, it knows if a smoke detector has been activated. The control panel, which contains the system's electronics and backup battery, functions in the background and, for purposes of security, is installed out of sight.

SOME DEFINITIONS

There are a few terms with which you should become familiar. Knowing them will help you to better understand and use your system A single detector, or group of detectors, usually relating to a certain area of the premises or type of protection. Zones that use devices designed to detect break-ins are called intrusion zones. Another kind of zone may contain one or more Smoke Detectors. Such zones are called fire zones. An environmental zone typically protects the premises from gas leaks and/or flooding. A 24-Hour intrusion zone is always armed and is usually assigned to openings, which should never be disturbed-like fixed glass and non-movable skylights. Your system is set up to report alarms to a Central Stationa facility which continually monitors the activities of many security systems, usually via the telephone network, and dispatch the proper authorities. The chime is a series of short keypad tones, which can be set up to annunciate, during the disarmed period, the violation of selected intrusion zone(s). The chime tone can be used to annunciate the arrival of a customer each time the front door opens. The chime can be disabled or enabled at your discretion. If desired, your security system may also report to the Central Station any troubles or malfunctions it senses, so that a service call can be made. In addition to your system's normal operation, it's possible to place a household appliance or premises lighting under the control of the ORBITPRO where it can be conveniently turned on and off automatically, or by User command from any system keypad Your system may also be equipped with a keyswitch, useful for simple arming and disarming operations - usually at a remote location. Arming your system enables its intrusion detectors to trigger an alarm when violated. Remember, fire protection and the protection offered by the keypad's emergency keys are always armed and always available

Secured or Bypassed Full Arming and Home Arming

Before you arm your system, all of its zones must either be secured or bypassed. Your ORBIT-PRO offers two kinds of system arming. Full Arming prepares all of the system's intrusion detectors to sound an alarm, if violated, Home Arming (or Stay Arming) allows individuals to remain inside and move about the premises even after the system is armed

Quick Arming and Code Arming

Entry/Exit Delays

Your ORBIT-PRO also offers two methods of arming. Quick Arming achieves the result with just the press of a single key (either or ). Code Arming requires that a valid Master Code or User Code be entered first. Your security system must incorporate an Entry/Exit Delay to allow proper entry and exit to and from the premises without causing inadvertent alarms. If set up by your alarm company, the ORBIT-PRO allows you the convenience of arming your system with the front door open. After which you must close the door as you leave the premises. With such a door open (and all other zones secure), the system is considered "ready to arm"; the Zone LED corresponding to the opened door will be lit, and the keypad's READY LED will flash. In addition to the standard alarm reporting to the Center Station, the system can generate alarm tones to a designated system user. Through the use of the system's built-in clock, it's possible to schedule automatic operations including arming and disarming. One of the ORBIT-PRO advantages is its ability to divide any system into a number of partitions. Think of each partition as a separate security system that can be armed and disarmed individually. As your needs grow, your system can be readily expanded by adding modules, up to 96 zones, 16 keypads, and 33 utility outputs (to operate lights, cameras, etc.) without changing the main system.

VISUAL INDICATORS
As a user of your security system, you'll need to be primarily concerned with the keypad. This section discusses the keypad's visual indicators and the use of its keys.

Each keypad in your system reports its status via its LED (lighted) indicators at the right. Through its keys, you can enter commands to "arm" and "disarm" the system, bypass intrusion zones, report emergencies, etc. NOTE: The keys and the LED indicators (except the Zones LED indicators) are the same in both types of keypads.

The five LED indicators found at the upper right provide typical system indications, as discussed below and on the next page. Some indicators have additional functions, explained later on.

POWER LED
The POWER LED is a useful indicator reflecting the system's operation. NOTE: If a trouble condition exists, the POWER LED will flash only when the system is in its disarmed state. Once the system is armed, a previously flashing POWER LED will light steadily.

Section 3: Operating Your System

In this section, you'll learn how to perform most of the functions needed to properly operate your ORBIT-PRO and to get the most out of your security system.

EMERGENCY KEYS
Your keypad provides three sets of keys, which can be pushed at any time the police, fire department, or auxiliary assistance is required.

Police Emergency

Pressing and simultaneously, and for at least two seconds, will activate a Police Emergency alarm (Panic alarm). Pressing and simultaneously, and for at least two seconds, will activate a Fire Emergency alarm. Pressing and simultaneously, and for at least two seconds, will activate an Auxiliary Emergency.

Fire Emergency

Auxiliary Emergency

The annunciation that results during these emergency alarms, along with other system sounds, is covered in Section 4. If your system has been programmed to do so, it will communicate any or all of these alarms to the Central Station monitoring your installation. System programming also determines whether these emergency alarms will be audible and/or capable of being communicated to the Central Station.

Keyswitches
If your system is equipped with a special keyswitch, it can, with the twist of a key, be toggled through ARM (Away) and DISARM modes. Note: Hidden Display It is desired for some systems, that the keypad will not display the status of the system. (If set in this mode) the ARM, READY & BYPASS LEDS will not function and the LCD display Enter code: After entering a valid user code the system will work and display the normal mode. One minute after the last operation, the system will automatically switch to the Hidden Display Mode.

USER CODES

To perform many of the ORBIT-PRO's functions, a security code (often called a User Code) must be entered at the keypad. Each individual using the system is assigned a User Code, which, in turn, is linked to an Authority Level. Those with a "higher authority" have access to a greater number of system functions, while those with a "lower authority" are more restricted in what they may do. There are six different Authority Levels available for users of the ORBIT-Pro. Note that the User Codes having the lower Authority Levels (i.e. User, Arm Only, and Maid) may have variable lengths up to the chosen Code Length. A user code can have up to 6 digits. Your ORBIT-Pro can support up to 99 different User Codes, identified with index numbers from "00" through "98". Your ORBIT-PRO was given a Grand Master Code of 1234 during manufacturing. Unless your alarm company has already changed it to suit your preference, it's best to modify this code to one which is unique and personalized. To change the Master Code, and/or to set up User Codes, follow the steps on the next page.

AUTHORITY
GRAND MASTER All operations for all partitions. MANAGER Same as above, except changing the Grand Master Code. MASTER Same as for Manager, but limited to designated partitions. USER Only basic operations to one or more partitions. ARM ONLY Arming one or more partitions. MAID Used only for one-time arming and disarming, after which the code is automatically erased and should be re-defined.

Section 4: Partitioned Systems

INTRODUCTION
The ORBIT-Pro system can be divided into partitions. Each partition may be viewed as a separate security system, each one can be armed and disarmed separately regardless the condition of the other. Partitions can be armed/disarmed one at a time, or all at once. Keypads and Partitions - Each keypad is assigned to different partition(s). Grand Master and manager , with access to all partitions, can use any keypad to access any partition. Other users can use only designated keypads. Common Zones - partitioned systems have to share common zones, for example the front door of certain two family house, must be available to both families and is therefore shared between them. A common zone is armed only if all partitions sharing the zone are armed. The common zone(s) is disarmed if any of the partitions, which the zone(s) is assigned, is disarm.

ARMING MULTIPLE PARTITIONS

Only users that have defined so during the system installation can operate more than one partition, and arm/disarm all partitions at once.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS

An emergency evacuation plan should be established and used during an actual fire alarm condition. The following steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and can be used as a guide when establishing a similar plan for your circumstances. 1. Draw a floor plan of your premises showing windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops, which can be used for escape. An example has been provided below. 2. Indicate each occupant's escape routes by determining two means of flight from each room. One should be the normal exit from the building, while the other may be a window that opens easily, or another alternate route. An escape ladder may have to be located near an escape window if there is a long drop to the ground below. Always keep escape routes free from obstruction. 3. Practice escape procedures and set a meeting place outdoors for a headcount of the building's occupants. 4. In a home, sleep with the bedroom door closed to increase your escape time. If a fire is suspected, first test the door for heat. If you think it is safe, brace your shoulder against the door and open it cautiously. Be ready to slam the door if smoke and heat rush in. 5. After escaping from a fire, call the Fire Department from a neighbor's phone. After the installation of your Security System has been completed, notify your local Fire and Police Departments to give them your name and address for their records. Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection devices in all rooms. This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association's Standard 72. For additional information, write to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) at Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02289.
