Description
Alarm Condition
Is when your alarm system is Set and one of the detection devices have been
violated. A 24-hour zone (eg. smoke detector) can activate an alarm condition
when your system is Set or Unset.
Answering Machine
Bypass
Answering machine bypass has been incorporated so that it is possible to make a
connection with the system for remote setting operations when there is an
answering machine or facsimile machine on the same telephone line.
Area Keypad
Used only when the system has two separate areas. All operations at the area
Keypad will not affect the other area.
Set
When the system is in a ready state to accept alarms.
Automatic Setting
This feature allows the system to automatically Set at the same time every day in
AWAY Mode or STAY Mode 1.
Automatic Unsetting
This feature allows the system to automatically Unset at the same time every day.
AWAY Mode
This is the mode used to Set your system when you leave your premises.
Keypad
The Keypad allows you to perform all functions such as setting/Unsetting and
carrying out functions such as adding and deleting system user codes.
Day Alarm
This feature allows a combination of zones to be monitored while the system is
Unset.
Detectors
Are devices connected to your alarm system used to detect intrusion and cause an
alarm condition. Some forms of detection devices include, PIR (Passive Infrared),
Smoke detectors, photoelectric beams, reed switches and vibration sensors.
Unset
Is when your system is in a state that will not accept burglary alarms. Only zones
programmed for 24-hour operation can sound an alarm when the system is Unset
(eg. Smoke Detectors etc).
Dynamic Battery Testing
Is a feature that is used to monitor and test the condition of your back-up battery.
Entry Time /
Entry Delay
Is the time allowed after entering your premises via a zone programmed for delay
(eg. Front Door) so that you can Unset the system.
External Equipment
Is any device connected to your system such as detectors, Keypads and sirens etc.
Forced Setting
Is a situation where your alarm system is permitted to be Set when one or more
zones are Open or faulted.
Handover Delay
When your system is Set and a zone programmed for delay has been violated, the
Fx zone will handover the remaining delay time to a zone programmed as
handover. The handover zone will not activate an alarm until the remaining delay
time has expired. A handover zone will act as an instant zone if violated before the
Fx zone is violated.
Hand Held Remote
Control
Can be used to remotely operate your system via hand held transmitters (Also
known as RF keyfobs).
