Trouble Indications

The OmniPro II constantly monitors the alarm zones and several internal matters and will alert you if it detects trouble. The particular trouble is indicated on the bottom line of the display and a trouble signal is given by beeping the console beeper continuously, 2 beeps per second.

When any trouble condition occurs, the console will beep twice per second and continue to beep until the ' * ' key (cancel) is pressed to acknowledge the trouble. The console will say "TRBL NOW" (trouble now) if the trouble condition actually exists while you are looking at the console. It will say "HAD TRBL" (had trouble) if the trouble occurred and then corrected itself.

The following are trouble indications and their meanings:

!ZONE NAME TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: If the reading for a zone becomes abnormal, trouble will be indicated on that zone -SeeStatus \ Test. Excessive resistance in the contact and wiring usually causes trouble on security zones. If the cause is not obvious, call your installer for service.

!AC POWER OFF TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: Indicated if the normal house current powering the OmniPro II controller is interrupted for more than 3 minutes. If this happens without good cause, check the wall mounted transformer to ensure that it hasn't come out of the wall socket and check to see that the socket has power.

!BATTERY LOW TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: Every hour, the OmniPro II takes a dynamic test of the battery. If the battery voltage is too low, then the console will indicate "BATTERY LOW". If this happens, make sure that the battery is connected. The "BATTERY LOW" indication will remain until the next battery test is executed, 1 hour later, or when a Status Test command is given.

!COMMUNICATOR TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: Indicated if the digital communicator (not the voice dialer) was unable to make contact with the Central Station after trying both numbers multiple times. If this happens, there could be a problem with the system, central station, or the phone line. Call your installer for service.

!FUSE TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: Indicated when the solid state fuse that protects the "Auxiliary" power supply opens. The fuse will automatically reset when the fault condition is cleared.

!PHONE LINE DEAD TRBL NOW or HAD TRBL: Indicated if the phone line is dead for more than 1 minute.

To silence the trouble beeps on the console, press the ' * ' key. If more than one type of trouble has occurred, the display will show each one for two seconds. Pressing the ' * ' key will acknowledge all trouble indications.

If the trouble condition occurs again, the console beeper will beep again - See Set Up Arming, Beep On Trouble if you wish to disable the beeper.

!NO CONTROLLER DATA: Indicated when console's alarm functions are no longer operational. This may indicate a wiring problem to the console or a more serious problem. Call your installer for service.

Codes

There are 99 user codes that you may assign to users of the system. All OmniPro II codes are 4 digits in length. A code can be any number from 0001 to 9999. Each user should be assigned a security code with an authority level, areas that can be accessed (if area arming is used), and times and days in which the code will be valid. Memorize your codes! Don't give them to anyone who doesn't need to know them.

The levels of authority that you can assign to a user code are Master, Manager, and User.

Master Code

The Master code allows complete access to the entire system. Only the owner(s) or the one(s) who will govern the system should have and use the master code. A Master code is allowed access to all areas, all the time.

User code 1 is always set to a Master code - See Set Up Codes.

II specifications

Home Automation II represents the next evolution in smart home technology, providing users with greater flexibility, convenience, and security through advanced features and integrated systems. This smart home revolution focuses on the seamless interaction of devices and the automation of daily tasks, ultimately enhancing the overall living experience.

One of the key features of Home Automation II is interoperability among a wide range of devices. This enables homeowners to control lights, thermostats, security cameras, and other appliances from a single platform. Whether through smartphones, tablets, or voice-activated assistants, users can easily manage their home environment, monitor energy consumption, and receive real-time notifications. This level of integration not only simplifies operation but also creates a more cohesive smart home ecosystem.

Another significant aspect of Home Automation II is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies learn a homeowner’s habits and preferences, allowing the system to adapt automatically. For example, the thermostat can adjust temperatures based on the time of day and occupancy patterns, while lighting systems can simulate human presence when residents are away. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency, leading to potential cost savings in utility bills.

Home Automation II offers enhanced security features as well. Smart locks, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors can all be integrated into the home’s network. This allows homeowners to monitor their property remotely, receive security alerts, and even grant access to visitors through mobile apps. Biometric security options, such as facial recognition, are also becoming more common, adding an extra layer of protection.

Furthermore, energy management technologies are a hallmark of Home Automation II. Smart plugs and sensors monitor energy use, providing insights to homeowners about how to reduce consumption. Advanced systems can even automate energy distribution, shifting usage to off-peak hours to alleviate strain on local grids and maximize efficiency.

Finally, voice control has become a prominent feature in Home Automation II, allowing users to operate devices hands-free. Integration with voice-activated platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri adds another layer of convenience, making it easy to control multiple aspects of the home with simple voice commands.

In conclusion, Home Automation II represents a significant step forward in creating intelligent spaces that are responsive to the needs of their users. Through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, enhanced security measures, energy management, and intuitive control options, the concept of a smart home is evolving into a more accessible and efficient reality.
