Installation Instructions: Unbox the panel and individual sensors. Remove the back panel. Plug in the 12V DC mini-USB power cord to the DC input. Replace the back panel with the power cord placed in the cut out. Install the strand or use the wall mount.
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 Prima 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 Prima Panel:

Press the panel LED or home button to return to the home page.
Arming Issues:
The panel will report device issues on the home screen. The following issues are most common:
1. Door or window left open.
2. Sensor tamper.
