If the controller works as an expander of the wireless devices for INTEGRA or VERSA control
panels, the detector operating mode is controlled through the communication bus. Arming the
partition to which the zone with wireless detector belongs will switch the detector into the
active mode, while disarming will switch the detector into the passive mode.
In the other configurations, the detector operating mode is controlled by means of the
controller inputs. Indicate for each detector the input that will control the detector operation.
Connect a suitably programmed control panel output to the input. Activating the controller
input will switch the detector into the active mode.
The detectors are switched over from the passive state to the active state, and vice versa,
during the response time, hence performance of this operation is delayed in relation to the
moment of switchover command. This delay, depending on the chosen response frequency,
can be up to 12, 24 or 36 seconds.
The
R
ESPONSE PERIOD
has an effect on the detector energy consumption level. The battery
use by the detector decreases as the frequency of communication between the controller and
the wireless device lowers.
It is advisable in some situations that the detector be always active. For example, the user
wants to be sure that no window is open in the facility at the moment of arming. Switching
over the window protection magnetic detector permanently in active state allows to avoid the
risk that the window will be opened just before arming, but the information about it has not yet
come.
The manner of permanently switching the detector to its active state depends on the
controller working configuration. If the controller operates together with the INTEGRA or
VERSA series control panels, select the corresponding option for wireless detector.
Otherwise, the controller input for detector control should be programmed as always active.
According to the EN50131-3 standard all Hold-Up devices used with ACU-100
controller must be always in active mode.
The batteries ensure operation of the detectors for a period of about 3 years,
provided that they remain in the passive state for some portion of that period,
and the R
ESPONSE PERIOD
is 12 seconds. A longer polling period (24 or 36
seconds) means extension of the battery life time. The battery life time in the
detectors switched permanently into the active mode is shorter than in those
which are periodically switched to the passive mode. However, if the specific
character of a detector or its installation place is such that the number of
violations is low, switching the detector permanently into the active mode will
not adversely affect the battery life time.
6.1 A
DDITIONAL DETECTOR PARAMETERS TO BE CONFIGURED
APD-100
– wireless passive infrared detector. Sensitivity is to be programmed. In case of
detectors with firmware version 2.01, determine additionally whether the option of
immunity to pets up to 15 kg in weight should be enabled.
APMD-150
– wireless dual motion detector. The following is to be programmed:
– sensitivity
of infrared path;
– sensitivity of microwave path;
– test
mode
operation.
AMD-100
and
AMD-101
– wireless magnetic detectors with an additional input. For the
detectors with electronics version 3.5 D or newer, you must specify which of the two
reed switches on the electronics board is to be active (in older detectors, the selection is
made by means of a jumper). In case of the AMD-101 detector, which occupies 2
positions on the list of devices / 2 zones in the system, the reed switch is to be selected
for the first position / first zone.
