- Notifications: Receive push notifications, voice messages, emails, and SMS alerts in case of an alarm event or system status change.
- Event Log: Access a history of system events, including arming/disarming times, alarm triggers, and sensor activations.
- Device Management: Manage connected devices, view their status, and perform basic configurations.
4.2 LCD Keypad Operation
The LCD keypad (1068/021) provides local control and visual feedback:
- Arming: Enter your user code and press the arm button to fully arm the system.
- Disarming: Enter your user code and press the disarm button to disarm the system.
- Partial Arming: Use specific codes or button combinations for partial arming (e.g., night mode, perimeter only).
- Status Display: The LCD screen displays system status, zone information, and event messages.
- Panic Button: The keypad may include a dedicated panic button for immediate alarm activation in emergencies.
4.3 Alarm Alerts

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliability of your URMET anti-intrusion system.
- Battery Check: Periodically check the backup batteries in the control unit and any wireless sensors. Replace batteries as recommended by the manufacturer or when low battery alerts are received.
- Sensor Cleaning: Gently clean the lenses of motion sensors and other detectors with a soft, dry cloth to prevent false alarms caused by dust or debris.
- System Test: Perform a full system test at least once a month. Arm the system and trigger each sensor individually to ensure they are functioning correctly and that alarms are being transmitted.
- Software Updates: Keep the URMET SECURE APP and the system firmware updated to the latest versions to benefit from new features, security enhancements, and bug fixes.
- Physical Inspection: Inspect all wiring and connections for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all components are securely mounted.
- Siren Check: Verify the outdoor siren's functionality during a system test. Ensure it is free from obstructions and its sound output is clear.
6. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your URMET 1068 system.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System not arming | A zone is open (e.g., door/window ajar), low battery in a sensor, system fault. | Check all doors and windows. Verify sensor status on the keypad or app. Check battery levels. Consult the event log for specific fault messages. |
| False alarms | Improper sensor placement, pets, drafts, dust on sensors, faulty sensor. | Ensure sensors are mounted correctly and not affected by environmental factors. Clean sensor lenses. If persistent, contact a professional installer. |
| No remote access via APP | Internet connectivity issues, incorrect IP/Wi-Fi interface configuration, server issues. | Check your home internet connection. Verify the IP/Wi-Fi interface (1068/013) is powered and connected. Restart your router and the interface. Ensure the app is updated. |
| No GSM notifications | No SIM card, expired SIM, poor GSM signal, incorrect communicator configuration. | Ensure a valid, active SIM card is inserted. Check GSM signal strength. Verify recipient numbers are correctly configured in the 1068/458 communicator settings via the installer app. |
| Keypad unresponsive | Power issue, loose connection, keypad fault. | Check power to the control unit. Ensure the keypad cable is securely connected. If the issue persists, contact technical support. |
