OPERATING

Zone LEDs
“READY” LED
“SYSTEM” LED
“ARMED” LED

System operation is done using the keypad and LEDs' indications. The
keypad has 4 zone LEDs and 3 state LEDs: READY, SYSTEM, ARMED.
LEDs’ indications will be detailed throughout this manual.

OPERATING CODES
There are 4 programmable operating codes in the system.
Code 1- Master Code programmed with "1234" value by default. Using the
Master code, one can operate the system and program the other user
codes.
Code 4 - "Ambush Code", not programmed by default .
If the panel is connected to the phone line, when disarming - using this
particular code, the panel will transmit a phone message to Cerber C41V1
control panel.
For Cerber C41V4 control panel, when disarming - using the Ambush code,
the panel will transmit a special phone message meaning the system was
disarmed under threat.
Code modifying including Master code by default, is achieved by
[*][7][“Master Code”] command.

ARMING
Before arming the system, make sure that all protected doors and windows
are closed.
If the “SYSTEM” LED is lit, check the following:
- the alarm memory ([*][5] command). If there are alarms in memory, it will
be cleared when arming the system.
- bypassed zones ([*][3] [Access code] command). Ensure that each zone
displayed as being bypassed is intentionally bypassed.
5
Cerber® C41V1/Cerber® C41V4
USER’S BOOK

- system trouble ([*][4] command). If there are troubles with the battery or
the AC power, fix them before arming.
If "READY" LED is not lit, then one or more zones are open. One cannot
arm the system if the system is not ready, meaning that "READY" LED
should be lit.
To arm the system, key in a 4 digit access code. When pressing each key,
the keypad buzzer will sound a short beep.
After pressing the access code, the "ARMED" LED will turn on and the
keypad buzzer will sound 6 beeps.
If the access code is not correct, the keypad buzzer will sound a long beep.
Press [#] key and then press the access code again.
After pressing the access code and the "ARMED" LED was lit, exit the
protected area through the Entry/Exit zone, before the Exit time was over.
After the Exit time was over, all LEDs will turn off, except the "ARMED"
LED.
The default Exit time is 120 seconds.

OTHER ARMING MODES

QUICK ARMING
[*] [0]
This function will be used by someone who doesn't own an access code.
Arming will be done by pressing the sequence [*][0]. Next, the user should
leave the protected area before Exit time was over. After the Exit time was
over, the whole system is armed and the "ARMED" LED will stay lit.

“INSTANT STAY” ARMING

[*] [1] [ACCESS CODE]
This arming mode is used for perimetral protection. Thus, the user can stay
inside the protected area (i.e.: arming the panel at night while staying
home).
After pressing the access code, the system automatically isolates zones
defined with "STAY" attribute. That is why the yellow "SYSTEM" LED will
be lit. After the Exit time, all the Delayed zones will become Instant and
they will trigger alarm the very moment they are opened.
The red "ARMED" LED will blink, indicating that the Delayed zones are
Instant now.

“STAY” ARMING
[*] [2] [ACCESS CODE]
This arming mode is also used for perimetral protection. This time the user
also stays inside the protected area, but is allowed access through the
Delayed zones.
After pressing the access code, the system automatically isolates the
zones defined with "STAY" attribute. That is why the yellow "SYSTEM"
LED will be lit. After the Exit time was over, the whole system is armed and
the "ARMED" LED will stay lit.

NOTE:
If the Entry/Exit and the Follower zones have been programmed for Forced
arming (by the installer), that means these zones will be bypassed until
their closing, after the Exit time was over.

DISARMING
One can only enter the protected area through an Entry/Exit zone. While
zone opening, Entry time will begin counting.
Keypad buzzer will sound a continuous beep during while the entire Entry
time, indicating that the system should be disarmed.
Press one of the access codes. If wrong, press [#] key and press the code
again. The "ARMED" LED will be off and so will the buzzer.
If the system is not disarmed during the Entry time, the panel will alarm.

OTHER OPERATING COMMANDS

ZONE BYPASSING

[*] [3] [ACCESS CODE]

Zone bypassing can only be achieved when the system is disarmed.

The initiating devices from a bypassed zone will not be considered by the
panel. Zone bypassing is used when access is needed in that particular
zone even if the system is armed. Zone bypassing is also used when some
initiating devices or wires are damaged and restoring is not immediately
possible.
Arming can be done with one or more bypassed zones, even if they are
open.
