The Front Panel
The PrivatAlarm consists of one front panel, various sensors and a number of optional
units. The front panel is the brain of the system. It communicates with all the devices
connected to the system. For example, in the event of a burglary, a detector sends a
signal to the front panel indicating that it has sensed motion on the premises. On
receiving this signal, the front panel makes the decision to report the alarm to your
monitoring service and activate the siren.
You can operate the alarm in several different ways. Apart from the keys on the front
panel the system can contain a number of peripheral devices, such as panels and
keyfobs The panel’s keys on the PrivatAlarm include all the features you need to manage
the alarm

LEDs
The LEDs on the panel provides information on the system status, e.g. activation,
deactivation, alarm and power fault conditions. If the green LED flashes, this may mean
that it is be time to change the batteries in the room sensors etc.
The alarm will automatically send a message to G4S Service Centre, which will make
sure that the batteries are changed before they run completely dry. There will typically be
2-3 months of battery left from the time the LEDs starts to flash.
Photo activation of alarm
There are three activation modes: Full, Part and Perimeter. With these modes you can
activate (Arm) the system in various ways.
Full Arming:
Full Arming activates the entire system. This arming
method is used when you intend to leave your home, leaving the
premises empty
.
Partial Arming:
Part Arming enables you to arm a section of your home
while remaining on a different part of the premises.
Perimeter Arming:
Perimeter Arming enables you to activate the
perimeter zones (the windows and doors of your home) enabling you to
move freely within the protected area.
The options for your home depend on what is agreed with the installer.
Disarming the system
When you enter the premises, the entry delay begins to count down. You must disarm the
system within the entry delay time to prevent the system from triggering an alarm.
Remote Activation / deactivation via text messaging.
If you have chosen the GSM solution and have chosen "text arm and disarming", you can
remotely control your alarm by sending a text command from a mobile phone to the
alarm.
