- Guided Setup: The first time the panel boots it will guide you through the basic installation process. To link into the local WiFi network, select the WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.
- Master PIN: Enter the master PIN code for the panel. This PIN will be required to make settings changes. It can also be used to arm/disarm the panel. Keep this PIN safe and use something difficult to guess.
- Panel Location: Select the floor and room that best describes where the panel will be installed.
- Device Installation: Install the first device. Select the device type, then follow the on-screen instructions to trigger and install the device. Repeat the process for additional devices. Press "Finish" to complete device installation.
Arming the GeoAlarm Panel:
From the home screen, the panel will show if the system is ready to arm or if doors and windows are open.- Arming Stay (Staying): Pressing the "Staying" button arms the system immediately in "Staying Mode" to protect you while you're inside the property. In Stay Mode, external doors and window will be armed.
- Arming Away (Leaving): Pressing the "Leaving" button arms the system after an exit duration. Away Mode is used to protect the propert while you are away. During the exit duration one or more devices must be triggered or the system will fall back to "Staying".
- Bypass and Arm: By default, the system cannot be armed with doors or windows open. If you attempt to arm the system with open door or window sensors, then "Bypass and Arm" will allow you to proceed.
Disarming the GeoAlarm Panel:
To disarm the system, press Disarm and enter a valid passcode.Triggering an Emergency Event:
In case of emergency, press the SOS button on the bottom right corner of the panel. Select the emergency call type: Police, Medical or Fire. You will be asked to confirm or cancel the alarm by the AlarmClub central monitoring station.GeoSFKIT-VZ Security System Operation:
