INTRODUCTIONThe Ness R8 is a new and unique fully self-contained radio control panel.The panel has a built-in keypad for programming and user operation, a built-in piezo siren, builtin LCD display, built-in radio receiver, built-in battery backup and built-in dialler.The R8 supports up to 8 Ness radio PIRs and up to 14 Ness Radio Keys. All Ness supervised andencrypted radio devices are supported. There is even a Doorbell feature with selectable tuneswhen used with the Ness Radio Doorbell transmitter.In addition to radio devices, the R8 has 1 hardwired zone and 1 hardwired tamper input forconnection of a wired detection device and external siren cover tamper switch.The built-in piezo siren provides high volume audible warning. The R8 also has Siren, Piezo andStrobe outputs for additional hardwired noisemakers.The R8 has a number of sophisticated power saving features designed to provide at least 48hours service running on the backup battery alone. (This includes one full alarm condition withsirens, strobe and dialler).The built-in dialler uses Contact ID format for central station monitoring as well as audible monitoringto any telephone. The user can also dial into the system for remote arming and disarming overthe telephone line.SPECIFICATIONSRadio zones .Max.

OPERATIONOPERATING MODESALARMS, DEFINITIONThe Ness R8 will operate in one of the followingmodes:Alarms may be caused by:ARMED. The system is “On” and ready todetect intrusion.DISARMED. The system is “Off”. This is thenormal mode when the premises areoccupied. Day Zones and 24 Hour Zonessuch as external siren tamper, if used, areactive.DAY MODE. The system is Disarmed and azone or zones have been setup to create analarm when activated. Often used as adoorway alert in a shop.MONITOR MODE. Allows the system to be“partially” Armed. For example, in a house,to allow all perimeter zones, doors andwindows, to be Monitored (armed) at night.24HR ZONES. Zones that have been setup tobe active in any mode. Usually used forTamper switches and Panic buttons.DOORBELL. The doorbell can be triggeredusing the optional Ness 100-056 Doorbelltransmitter. The doorbell function hasadjustable volume and selectable chimesettings. The doorbell operates in any panelmode.8 A zone has been triggered while Armed A Tamper has been triggered A PANIC button has been triggeredAll of these may cause your sirens and strobeto operate. Various visual indications relevantto the alarm will be retained in the memory. Ifthis occurs, Disarming your control panel willreset the alarm. The cause of the alarm can beidentified by entering the Alarm Memory Modeas described on page 18.RESETTING ALARMSTo stop the siren/s or to reset the strobe light ifit is still flashing* (if installed), reset the panelusing the keypad by entering a valid keypadcode followed by the E button, or press theOFF button on a valid Radio Key.To check the cause of the alarm, you can viewthe event memory as shown on page 18.* In the event of an alarm, the strobe light willcontinue to flash until the panel is reset by thekeypad or radio key, otherwise it will time outafter 11 hours. (If mains power is disconnected,the panel will reset the strobe light output after1 hour to conserve the backup battery).NESS R8 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL

OPERATIONARMINGTo Arm the system using the onboard keypad,press ARM followed by a valid user code, followedby the E key.To Arm the system using a Radio Keypress the ON button.[User Code]x1.orThe Arming Shortcut is enabled by default, thisallows arming without having to enter your usercode. (The Arming Shortcut can be disabled byyour installer).If Siren Chirps have been enabled byyour installer, the strobe light output willflash and the onboard siren will 'chirp' onceto indicate successful arming.The control panel must be armed to enabledetection zones.Note: If the panel is already in alarm, you mustfirst silence the alarm before you can arm.Arming the panel starts the exit delay timer. Allzones are inactive during this time and becomefully armed once the exit delay time expires.(End of exit delay is signalled by 3 beeps fromthe keypad beeper).At the end of the exit time, all zones should beSealed. If any are Unsealed, the onboard sirenand the external siren, (if installed), will sounda lower volume tone for 2 seconds as a warningthat those zones have been automaticallyexcluded. For maximum security, you shouldreturn, disarm the panel, check the premisesand then Arm again. Continual warnings couldmean that a detector is faulty and may have tobe manually excluded.The factory default exit delay time is 60 seconds.This can be changed if necessary, see theprogramming section in this manual.The panel must initially be in the disarmed stateand not in Program, Monitor, Memory orExclude modes.10If the auto-exclude option is disabled by yourinstaller and a zone is unsealed at the end ofexit time, the siren will sound for 5 minutes,(5 minutes is the factory default siren duration).NESS R8 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL
