3.4.3 The complementary functions (gong, courtesy light, door opener, absence of move)
Complementary functions that can be used when the system is disarmed can be associated with the inputs. Only one complementary
function can be matched with each input.
IMPORTANT!
The complementary function chosen is executed only if all the partitions associated with the input are
deactivated. If at least one partition is activated, the signal generated by the input is interpreted as an attempted intrusion and
the control panel will function accordingly.
The available functions are:
Absence of move
: when the alarm system is disarmed, the control panel constantly controls the inputs where this function was
enabled. If the inputs, for the period of time established (12 hours, cannot be modified), record no variation in status, an
emergency response signal is generated. The timer that counts the time is reset to zero for each opening of the input.
The enable the function, after the programming, it is necessary to activate and deactivate the partitions associated with the inputs
for which this complementary function is enabled.
This function can be an auxiliary in the control of elderly people who live alone. If the detectors on which the “Absence of move”
function was enabled were chosen adequately (for example, the IR detectors in the corridor and bedroom), it is assumed that the
person at home does not let more than 12 hours pass without involuntarily activating the detector.
If this does not occur, it is believed that the person is unconscious or otherwise unable to move, and therefore in need of help.
However, it must be remembered that 12 hours can be too long a time to wait for a person who may be facing serious difficulti es.
If there are vocal keypads in the system, it is possible to enable the “Environment listening” function" for just one of them during
the programming phase. In this case, after the pre-recorded message for emergency response has been sent, the keypad is
automatically activated and it is possible to listen to what is happening in the environment where it is located.
IMPORTANT!
This function absolutely cannot replace a certified remote control emergency rescue system. If there is a
need to monitor the condition of a person continually and safely, it is necessary to back up the intrusion alarm system
with a system dedicated to remote emergency response.
Gong
: when all the partitions the input is associated with are deactivated, its opening generates a gong event.
The typical use is the acoustic signal that warns when someone is entering or passing through a certain zone.
For example, in a shop the magnetic contact of the entry door could be configured as a Gong. The gong event emits a buzzer
signal from the keypad and activates the outputs configured as Gong.
Courtesy light
: the opening of the input generates a courtesy light event, when the system only when is either disarmed. The
courtesy light outputs associated with the input partitions are activated for 3 minutes. This function can be used, for example, to
automatically turn on the lights in a room or in along an access path.
Door opener
: when all the partitions with an input associated with them are disarmed, their opening activates the door opener
outputs associated with the same partitions. The opening time of the door opener outputs lasts a few seconds.
3.4.4 The attributes of the intrusion inputs (Release type, AND / OR partitions, AND inputs)
The functioning of the anti-intrusion inputs can be further personalised by setting the attributes:
Release type
, determines when the alarm signal is generated. Possible settings:
o
Single release
: the alarm is generated as soon as the input is opened.
o
Double release
: the alarm is generated at the end of the second even only if it occurs within 120 seconds after the first.
Common input
, determines the belonging to more than one partition. Possible settings:
o
AND partitions
: logically connect partitions to which the input belongs to each other and the alarm is generated only if all the
partitions are armed.
o
OR partitions
: logically connect partitions to which the input belongs to each other and the alarm is generated is at least one
partition is armed.
AND inputs
, logically connect two intrusion inputs with the same specialisation together and the alarm is generated only if both
are opened within 5 minutes of each other (the first input to be opened can also be reclosed in the meantime). The 5-minute
interval cannot be changed. The AND inputs can be used, for example, to reduce the possibility of false alarms of the sensors
positioned in critical areas.
Release type with “double release” and AND inputs are used to prevent false alarms. In the first case the detectors is required to
confirm its findings within a short period of time, while in the second case a different detector must confirm the finding within 5 minutes
of the first.
