2-2-2. Configuring the Programme Keys
Please take note of the following when you configure Programme Keys:
1. The Programme Keys I/II/III correspond to the Function key buttons I/II/III on the Control Panel, which means clicking the Programme Key I in the software interface or pressing the Function Key I on the Control Panel will activate the same Programme.
2. To configure a Programme Key, you should assign an existing Programme (or create a new Programme and designate it) to Programme Key I, II, or III.
3. If you have designated a Programme to a specific Programme Key previously, you will not be able to designate said Programme to another Programme Key.
4. For information about configuring a new Programme or maintaining an existing Programme, refer to Setting – Programmes.
Follow the steps described below to reconfigure Programme Keys:
1. Click [Home Page] in the Top Menu.
2. Click on the [Living1] icon or any other available programme that may have been created as described later in this manual:
3. The system will display a small function menu above the icon and you can specify the location of the
programme key. In this example, [I] has been chosen and this means Programme Key [I] has been redefined to [Living1].
4. After you have reconfigured the Programme Key, you will see [I] over [Living1].
5. Remember that after you have finished a configuration, you must select the Sync function to apply the new settings to the Control Panel in order for the changes to take effect particular when trying to execute any of the blue Programme keys on the home page.
2-2-3. Executing a Programme Key
Click the following buttons directly in this window to execute the corresponding Programme Key:
: Execute Programme Key 1 : Execute Programme Key 2 : Execute Programme Key 3
The system will display one message window to inform the user whether the execution of the Programme is
8 successful or not.
i.e.: Programme executed successfully
2-3. Sync
The PC setup software is intended as an assistive program for the Control Panel setup. Setup is only complete after all the settings made on your PC have been applied to the Control Panel with the Sync function. Therefore it is imperative that the user sync the PC with the Control Panel after each modification of settings. If you close the PC software during setup, the Control Panel will not recognize any configuration you have made, with exception of “Add
Device/Remove Device”. (These two actions take effect immediately.)
To Sync,
1. Select [Sync] in the Top Menu.
2. Click the button located at the lower right hand corner of the screen.
The system will send the updated settings to the Control Panel. It is recommended that you perform this operation immediately after each settings change to ensure the data in the Control Panel is always up-to-date.
The Sync window (see below) will appear whenever the system is writing data back to the Control Panel, indicating that the system is in the process of
synchronizing.
Important note during Syncing:
When data is being synced to the Control Panel, any security functions and home automation Programmes, Schedules, and Events will not operate during this period.
2-4. Event Log
The event log is a record of all activities executed by the Control Panel. This is primarily captured and stored in the Control Panel itself.
The Event Log function is used to retrieve the latest event log from the Control Panel in the current window on your PC.
Click the above button to load the latest event log from the Control Panel and display it on screen.
The window (see below) will appear when the system is loading event log from the Control Panel, indicating that the system is in the process of synchronizing.
After the system has finished loading the latest event log from the Control Panel, it will be promptly displayed in the window.
The event log consists of the following information:
Time The date and time of the event. Location The place where the event
happened. For instance, if a PIR detector assigned to Bedroom is triggered, the location column will show “Bedroom”.
Device/User /Action
This column displays what or who triggered the event.
Name If the event is triggered by a user, this column will display the name of the User (such as Admin or
User1…).
Message This column shows the content of the event.
2-5. Add Device
There are two ways to add new devices to the system; using the Control Panel (refer to Hardware manual) or using the GlobalGuard PC setup software. The PC software provides an intuitive interface so the user can add devices more easily.
Note: The first two wireless security devices (PIR movement or door contact detector) added to the system will have a preconfigured 30 second entry/exit delay. It is recommended to install the 1st detector (zone1) you add at the entry/exit point of your property
The entry delay period for a security device can be setup in ‘Advance Settings’ of that device. The exit delay can be setup in ‘Settings-Device-Control Panel’ page
2-5-1. Add New Device
On the interface screen you can find two buttons on the left side: [Add New Device] and [Replace Device]. As their titles suggest, [Add New Device] is to add a new device to the system, while [Replace Device] is to replace an existing device with a new one. On the right side are the icons of preconfigured device groups. To add a new device, all you need to do is to click on the [Add New Device] button, and then select a desired device icon and follow the screen prompts to complete the procedures.
Note: All devices with exception to the optional GlobalGuard camera can be linked and displayed in this software. The camera is not displayed here and is only linked via the GlobalGuard remote access online software.
Example 1: Adding a PIR movement detector: Note: Please also refer to the Hardware manual for information on how to configure the device into learning mode.
10 2. The software will issue a request to the Control
Panel to go into code learning mode.
3. Press the learn/tamper button on the selected PIR detector within 30 seconds to transmit a code to be picked up by the Control Panel.
Note: See the screen prompt (also the figure below) to find out the location of the learn/tamper button on the device. After you press the learn/tamper button, the Control Panel will also beep to indicate the reception of the learning code.
4. Once the system has learnt the device’s code, the device setting window will appear up for you to configure the device’s name, location, and security type:
Name: Specify a name for easy identification. Location: Specify where the device is installed. Security Type: Specify the level of alarm when the device is triggered.
5. After adding/replacing a security device (PIR or door/window contact detector) to the system, refit the detector in position to its battery cover before exiting the add device screen. This is will prevent the tamper alarm from initiating if the tamper button is press and release during final installation of a detector.
IMPORTANT: Specify the Location of device carefully as it affects many aspects in the system: 1) If one or more IP cameras are installed in your system, then when a PIR or other type of detector
is triggered, the camera assigned to the SAME location will start recording. Therefore you should plan beforehand and assign the location group carefully.
2) When the device is triggered, the Web software and the smartphone app will also inform the user of the location. So the correct setting of location is critical for the information.
3) After a security detector such as a wireless PIR or door contact detector has been added, the device number is the “Zone Number” (1-36) displayed at the top of the window. The zone number for each security device is stored in the Control Panel
Part-ArmI/II setup of a security device
All PIR movement and door/window contact security detectors can be also setup to operate with Part-Arm I or Part-Arm II security modes.
If a group of detectors have been set so that they can activate in Part-Arm I, this means that when the Control Panel is armed in Part-Arm I mode, then only those detectors setup will become active. An example would be part-arming the ground floor of your home while you are gone to sleep so you can move around upstairs at night without initiating an alarm
Part arm setup of a device can be done during the adding process or after the device has been added in “Settings – Devices”.
11 Select “Advance Setting” followed by any or both of the Part-arm-I or II selections
Example 2: Adding a Home Automation device: 1. Click on the On/Off Plug icon.
2. The system will display the code learning prompt.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the selected device into learning mode.
4. After the device is placed into learning mode, click the [Add Now] button on the screen.
5. Wait until the Control Panel issues the learning code command, and the code learning process for the device is complete.
6. The Control Panel will issue test commands, and you should see the selected lighting device go on and off to demonstrate that code learning has been properly completed.
7. The system will promptly bring up the device setting window for you to configure the device’s properties.
2-5-2. Replace Device
When you click the [Replace Device] on the left side, all existing devices will be displayed on the right panel. To replace a device, simply click on an icon and follow the screen prompts to complete the procedures. This function is useful whenever a device has become faulty. You can simply purchase the same device and use this function to replace the faulty one without having to make any configurations. The device will operate and function according to your previous settings.
Example: Replacing a PIR movement detector.

2-6. Settings
Concept of Programmes, Schedules and Event There are three ways to control home automation devices using the GlobalGuard system:
Programmes : A Programme is a set of action(s) that are activated immediately when called upon by the user. These actions may include turning on/off the plugs, or changing the security mode of the control panel. Programmes can be assigned into Function keys I, II and III on the Control Panel so that they are activated when user presses those keys via the Control Panel, the home page of the PC setup software or via the online remote access software.
Events : An Event is a set of multiple actions that take place when the system is triggered by a detector. For example, an Event can be created to automatically turn on the porch lamp (connected to a ON/OFF device) when the door/window contact detector detects the front door opening. Unlike Programmes, Events are activated by detectors rather than activated upon request by the user.
An Event can also be set to be triggered by a change in the security settings. For example, setting the Control Panel to ARM remotely through the website can turn on the light to warn off intruders.
Schedules : A Schedule is a set of multiple actions that are activated when the preset time is reached. For example, one can create a Schedule to turn ON a table lamp connected to a ON/OFF plug at 6pm and OFF at 11pm on a daily basis or particular days.
2-6-1. Programmes
To create or maintain a Programme, select [Settings] in the top menu and click “Programmes” in the menu to the left. The system supports up to a maximum of 16 Programmes and once you have reached the maximum, the [Add New Programme] button will turn grey.

Click [Add New Programme] when you wish to add a new Programme to the system. The system will bring up the Setting – Programme – New Programme window for you to edit relevant details. For more information on Programme maintenance, refer to the section below 2-6-1-2 on “Maintaining Programmes”.
Note: For detailed information on assigning a programme to a Programme Key, which
correspond to a Function Key on the Control Panel, please refer to page 7.
Example of Programmes could be using Function key I to activate a group of ON/OFF plug/lampholder devices ON and Function Key II to turn these OFF if pressed. Function key III to arm your system and turn ON an ON/OFF device at the same time, etc.
2-6-1-2. Maintaining Programmes

(3) Specify the valid time for the trigger. By default, the trigger will be valid 24 hours around the clock.
If the time for “from” is identical to the time for “to”, the trigger will remain active throughout the day (i.e. 00:00 ~ 00:00) If the time for “from” is greater than the time for “to”, the trigger will be active between the changes of calendar days (i.e. 22:00 ~ 08:00)
If the time for “from” is smaller than the time for “to”, the trigger will be active during the specific time on a daily basis (i.e. 08:00 ~ 22:00)
Example: Device Trigger
2. Setting an Event to be System Triggered. (1) System Trigger: You can specify which
system security mode the event will operate with when activated
(2) Specify the valid time for the trigger. By default, the trigger will be valid 24 hours around the clock.
If the time for “from” is identical to the time for “to”, the trigger will remain active throughout the day (i.e. 00:00 ~ 00:00) If the time for “from” is greater than the time for “to”, the trigger will be active between the changes of calendar days (i.e. 22:00 ~ 08:00)
If the time for “from” is smaller than the time for “to”, the trigger will be active during the specific time on a daily basis (i.e. 08:00 ~ 22:00)
Example: System Trigger
Step2: Specify the action to be taken when the trigger has been set off.
You can configure the system to take one of the following two actions:
1. Control Device: the system will take whatever action(s) you have configured for Control Device, including Sound. You can configure up to 16 actions.
2. Programmes: the system will execute the selected Programme.
Example: Configuring the system to Control Device when the trigger has been set off.
Example: Configuring the system to execute a preselected Programme.
Note: If System Trigger has been set as the source of trigger, ensure the selected Programme does not involve actions that will toggle the change of security modes. When the system identifies such conflicting configuration, it will disable the Programme and render it unavailable to the user. Refer to the following
16 Example: Using System Trigger
As you can see in this example, all Programmes have been disabled by the system. This means that all of the Programmes available involve the change of the Control Panel security modes.
Example: This is what will happen if you try to skip ahead to Step2 and have the system execute the Programmes. In this example, we will select Programme1.
When you go back to Step1, you will find that “System Trigger” has been made unavailable. This means that the Programme that was selected previously involve
the change of the Control Panel security modes.
Step3: Specify the duration of delay time for Action 2 to be executed (Optional)
Example: Setting the delay time to 5 seconds before Action 2 is executed.
Step4: Activate Action 2 (Optional)

Troubleshooting
GlobalGuard PC setup software
1-1. By default, the software will attempt to establish connection with the Control Panel upon startup. When the software is unable to access the data on the Control Panel, it will display the following message to remind the user.
Select [OK] and the main screen will look like the screenshot below (the Sync function will turn grey and is unavailable).
When you see this message, take a moment to see if any of the following has occurred:
a) Is the Control Panel connected to a power source?
Ensure the Control Panel’s 12VDC power adaptor is properly connected to the Control
Panel and plugged into a mains wall socket and powered ON before restarting the GlobalGuard application.
b) Ensure that both the first two LEDs on the gateway are green before starting the GlobalGuard application.
c) Is the Control Panel placed too far away from the IP gateway?
Try to move the Control Panel to somewhere nearer to the IP gateway and restart
GlobalGuard.
d) Is the PC running the GlobalGuard application connected to the router that the gateway is connected to?
Ensure the PC is wired or connected via WIFI to the router. If connected using WIFI (wireless), check the WIFI signal on the PC is good range, by possibly moving closer to the WIFI router e) Did you replace your IP gateway with a new one
(as a replacement for a faulty one)? Use Add Device – Add the Control Panel function to have the IP gateway learn the code from the Control Panel. Once that has been done, the system will automatically attempt to re-access data and proceed with the
corresponding actions.
1-2. GlobalGuard software becomes extremely slow when writing and reading data from the Control Panel.
Ensure that the IP Gateway is not affected by other static emitting devices. If your laptop/PC is connecting by WiFi to the router, try moving the laptop/PC closer to the router. The recommended distance is within 10m between them.
