The DRUID LCD 20 should ideally be operated by means of a remote keypad to obtain
access to the many monitoring features and receive the greatest protection. It can
however be operated by means of a NEMTEK tab or external switch.
The unit’s display will light with a blue (OFF), green (all is OK), yellow (alarm in history or
other medium priority event) or red (active alarm condition exists) background to
announce the system state at a glance and from a distance.
The gate input is functional even when the unit is not monitoring the fence. Use the Gate
Alarm Bypass function if this input is to be ignored.
The unit includes many user and installer settings. These will be retained in the event of
total power loss, like when the battery is exhausted during a prolonged mains failure. A
new battery with a full charge will typically provide in excess of 24 hours backup.
NEMTEK Connect
NEMTEK Druid LCD 20 units can be upgraded for remote connectivity through a
smartphone application or internet browser via NEMTEK Connect. Contact NEMTEK for
more information on the hardware and software upgrades required.

Fence or Gate alarm condition present:
Fence or Gate alarm history (occurred in the past):
Fence or Gate alarm bypassed:
Gate is open:
Gate alarm immediate (alarm will sound the moment the gate is opened):
Mains power present:
Mains fail history (occurred in the past):
Mains power fail with internal battery condition GOOD: , LOW: or FLAT:
Unit requires servicing (if displayed for an extended period):
Unit possibly tampered with (front cover is, or was opened):
Unit set to silent alarm (no external siren or strobe will activate):
Fence monitoring is off:
Fence condition indication from 0 to 9 (higher values are better)
Fence condition and voltage notes
Fence voltage CHECK and BAD (alarm) thresholds are installer settable values.
The fence condition indication should be maintained at a high value for maximum fence
effectiveness. This is achieved through regular maintenance of the fence, cutting back and
removal of foliage from the fence, removal of dead slugs, snails, spiders and other insects
from off the insulators, and replacing any insulators that may have failed.

Symbol to descriptive label link
8
A symbol shown on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), depending on its position, is linked
through one of the eight linking lines above the LCD to one of eight descriptive labels.
A brief interpretation of the symbol displayed on the LCD is to be found under the
descriptive label it is linked to.
Example: An O symbol on the top line of the LCD, depending on its position will either
indicate that the gate is open, or that the fence monitor is off. If the O symbol is
positioned on the left of the display under the 2nd linking line, the symbol is linked to the
ZONE 1 STATE label and is interpreted to mean that zone 1 monitoring is off.
If however the O symbol is positioned on the right of the display under the 6th linking line,
the symbol is linked to the GATE label and is interpreted to mean that the gate is open.
The interpretations of the symbols shown on the LCD depicted above are:

Activating and deactivating the unit
Unless this feature has been disabled by the installer, the unit can be activated or
deactivated by presenting the NEMTEK plastic tab over the corresponding logo
on the fascia of the unit. Remove the tab when the unit produces a short beep,
after which the unit will toggle its operating state. The unit can also be configured
to use a remote switch.
Acknowledging and silencing an alarm condition
Present the NEMTEK plastic tab over the corresponding logo on the fascia of
the unit. An initial short beep will be heard as the tab is detected, but keep holding
the tab in place until a second longer beep is heard. The siren will be silenced if not
yet timed out, the internal beeper will stop sounding and the strobe will be
deactivated. One of the alarm , alarm history or event symbols will indicate
the source of the alarm.
Clearing an alarm or event from memory
An alarm symbol indicates that the condition persists and will have to first be
corrected. An alarm history symbol indicates the fault no longer exists and
simply turning the unit off and on again, or presenting the tab until the long beep
is heard, will clear the memory condition. Only if the alarm condition is resolved will
the unit operate without alarm activation.
t
The unit may be operated by up to two keypads. In this case the NEMTEK tab becomes
optional (Installer programmable feature).
In order to provide different access levels to the unit and its functions, two different types
of users are defined.
A master user has full control of the unit and may bypass different alarm functions. Only
the master user may change the PIN (Personal Identification Number) for all users. There
is only one master user with a default PIN 1234. The master user is referred to as user
number 1 or PIN 1.
A reset user can acknowledge and silence alarm events and clear alarms and events from
history, but cannot switch the unit on or off or change any parameters or settings that
require PIN access. There is only one reset user with a default PIN 5555. The reset user
is referred to as user number 2 or PIN 2.
Most user functions are accessed using the master PIN followed by a * key, a two-key
sequence, and then completed with the # (enter) key. The two key sequence consists of a
function key and then a 1 (yes) or 0 (no) key to indicate if the function is to be enabled
(yes) or disabled (no).
The exception to the above is the Panic Alarm and Display Info functions.
Both of these functions do not need the master PIN and * key sequence in front of the
two-key sequence, however the codes will still work if the master PIN and * key sequence
is inserted.
Additionally, the Display Info function accepts more than just the 1 and 0 keys as will be
detailed later in this manual.
Altering the brightness of the keypad symbols
The brightness of the keypad symbols can be increased or decreased by pressing and
holding the 1 or 7 key respectively. The keypad will beep while the indicator brightness is
changing. No PIN is required for this operation.
