The Askari Alarm I/O is a
multifunctional receiver/transmitter,
stand-alone alarm system and
Alarm panel I/O Interface
Remote Panic
When the Arm and Disarm buttons on the Nano are
pressed simultaneously, the Alarm I/O will trigger the
Panic output for 2 seconds, and will also drive the Siren
output.
NOTE:
The Nano will remain silent for this function and
will not emit a beep.
Stand Alone Siren and LED Outputs
An Askari Nano must be programmed into the Alarm I/O.
When the Arm button is pressed on the Nano the siren
output will be armed for all active zones and the Status
Led (if connected) will switch on.
When the Arm signal is received by the Alarm I/O,
it will confirm receipt (the Nano will beep once) and all the
active zone LED’s will automatically reset to solid lights (ie:
those active zones that were flashing due to being trig-
gered will now stop flashing and burn solid).
If an intruder signal is received the siren will run for
30 seconds and the Status LED will start to flash.
While the siren is running, pressing the Disarm button
on the Nano will reset the siren, but will not disarm the
system but will reset Status LED to ‘Armed’ (on), and the
Alarm I/O will confirm receipt of the signal (the Nano will
beep twice)
When the siren is not running, pressing the Disarm button
on the Nano will disarm the system and turn off the LED,
and the Alarm I/O will confirm receipt of the signal (the
Nano will beep twice).
If the system has been triggered, the disarm signal
confirmation will cause the Nano to beep twice with an
additional high tone to alert the owner that the system
has been triggered.
On receipt of the disarm signal from the Nano, the Alarm
I/O will also send the system zone status to the Nano. The
Nano LED’s will now show all the
active and triggered zones on the Alarm I/O. This will alert
the owner of any intrusion, and identify where the intru-
sion took place, allowing the owner to make an informed
decision about re-entering the
property after an intrusion has occurred.
