 USING KEYFOBS
There are 2 types of keyfobs that can be used with the system. These are wireless (RF) keyfobs and infra-red (IR) keyfobs.

RF keyfob
If you have an RF receiver with your CS250 system, you can use an RF keyfob.
There are 2 types of keyfob, one with 2 buttons and one with 4 buttons. The buttons can be programmed to perform different
functions.
An indicator LED flashes while the keyfob is transmitting to show that it is in use. The transmission range of the keyfob depends
on the battery life. You should replace the battery if the transmission range decreases.
IR keyfob
This is a 3-button device that can send commands via an infra-red keypad. There is 1large button and 2 smaller buttons.The
transmission range of the keyfob depends to a small extent on lighting conditions but is generally up to 5 metres. An indicator LED
flashes while the keyfob is transmitting to show that it is in use.

Installing, removing and programming keyfobs

To install a keyfob, select Users - User Codes - User n - Keyfob - Install Fob and press the lock and unlock buttons on the keyfob simultaneously.
To remove a keyfob, select Users - User Codes - User n - Keyfob - Remove Fob.

 INHIBITING (EXCLUDING) ONE OR MORE ZONES
This allows individual zones to be explicitly excluded from arming. This can be useful if a zone is misbehaving and is likely to cause a false alarm. You
must perform the inhibiting before you arm the system. For security reasons, the inhibited zones are automatically uninhibited each time the system is
disarmed.

When a fire zone is activated, it causes a fire alarm even if the system is disarmed. A user code or keyfob is required to disarm the system. The fire
zone must then be explicitly reset. If smoke is still present, you must wait and reset the detector again when the smoke clears. The system cannot be
armed until the fire zone has been restored and reset.
