INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
ALARM DURATION
This is the length of time that the alarm will sound for,
following an intrusion. Alarm duration can be set for
either 1 or 3 minutes via settings in the Control Panel.
(If accidentally triggered, the alarm can be stopped at
any time using the Remote Controller).
SYSTEM ARMING
The system has a full ‘Arm’ and a ‘Part-Arm’ mode.
ARM will ‘Arm’ all zones while the ‘Part-Arm’ mode will
only arm zone 1.
For example:
The system could be configured such that during night
time, ‘Part-Arm’ would arm only zone protecting the
lower floor and outbuildings leaving the upper floor free
for movement without triggering the alarm.
When the property is left un-occupied, the full ‘Arm’
mode will arm all zones to protect the entire property,
(i.e. upper and lower floors and outbuildings).
ENTRY/EXIT DELAY
When the system is armed, no alarm signal from any
detector will be able to initiate an alarm until the
Exit-Delay has expired. This enables the system to be
armed from within the property and allows time for the
user to exit the property without triggering an alarm.
The system Exit-Delay is fixed at 15 seconds. The
system won’t be armed until 15 seconds Exit-Delay is
expired. If a detector on a zone is triggered, then an
alarm condition will occur.
When the system is part-armed, Zone 1 will be armed
instantly. If a detector on Zone 1 is triggered, an alarm
condition will not occur until the Entry-Delay period has
expired. This allows time for the user to re-enter the
property and disarm the system before an alarm
condition occurs.
The system Entry-Delay can be chosen either 15
seconds or disabled. If a detector on Zone 1 is
triggered, a full alarm condition will not be initiated until
15 seconds Entry-Delay is expired.
BATTERY
The Control Panel is powered by 4 1.5V LR20 size
D-cell battery which under normal conditions will have
typical life in excess of 2 years. Alternatively a 9V
power adapter (option) can be adopted.
SYSTEM ZONING
The detector(s) may be set to operate on either Zone 1,
Zone 2 or panic. For ease of alarm verification it is
recommended that the Zones are arranged logically,
(eg. downstairs detectors on Zone 1 and upstairs
detectors on Zone 2, or Motion sensors on Zone 1 and
Door/Window Contact detectors on Zone 2). If the
detector is learned the ID code by the Control Panel on
Zone 1, then the detector is set on Zone 1. If the
detector is learned the ID code by the Control Panel on
panic zone, activation of detector at any time will
immediately initiate a full alarm condition of which
status will be indicated on the panic zone.
If the tamper switch of detectors set in zone 1 or 2 or
the panic switch of remote controller have been
triggered, activation of detector at any time will
immediately initiate a full alarm condition of which
status will be indicated on the panic zone.
TAMPER PROTECTION
All system devices (except the Remote Controllers)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorized attempts to interfere with the
device. Any attempt to remove any device (except the
Remote Controller) or to remove Control Panel from the
wall will initiate an alarm condition (unless the system is
in Test or ID code learning modes), even if the system
is Disarmed.
JAMMING DETECTION
In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the radio
channel used by your alarm system, a special jamming
detection function is incorporated into the Control Panel.
If this feature is enabled, and the radio channel is
jammed continuously for 30 seconds, when the system
is armed, a full alarm condition will occur.
If the radio channel is jammed continuously for 30
seconds, when the system is part-armed, a full alarm
condition will occur.
The Jamming Detection circuit is designed to scan for
jamming signals. However, it is possible that it may
detect other local radio interference operating legally or
illegally on the same frequency. If it is planned to
operate the jamming detection feature we recommend
that the system is monitored for false jamming alarms
for at least 2 weeks prior to leaving the Jamming
Detection function permanently enabled.
