TAMPER PROTECTION
All system devices (except any Remote Control Units)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorised attempts to interfere with the
device. Any attempt to remove the battery cover from
any device (except a Remote Control) or to remove the
Solar Siren or Control Panel from the wall will initiate
an alarm condition (unless the system is in Test or
Programming 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 and Solar Siren. If this feature
is enabled, and the radio channel is jammed
continuously for 30 seconds, when the system is
armed, the Solar Siren will emit a pre-alarm series
of rapid bleeps for 5 seconds. If the jamming
continues for a further 10 seconds or more a full
alarm condition will occur. In addition if the system
is jammed for more than three periods of 10 seconds
in a 5 minute interval, this will also generate a
Full Alarm condition. The jamming detection features
in the Control Panel and Solar Siren operate
independently.
The Jamming Detection circuit is designed to
permanently 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.
BATTERY MONITORING
In addition to the battery monitor and low-battery
indicators in each device, the Control Panel will also
indicate a low battery status within any Passive Infra-
Red or Magnetic Contact Detector on the system.
SYSTEM HOUSE CODE
In order to prevent any unauthorised attempt to operate
or disarm your system, you must configure your system
to accept radio signals only from your own system
devices. This is done by setting a series of eight
miniature (DIP) switches in all devices (except the
Control Panel) to the same ON/OFF combination
(the House Code) selected by the user/installer. The
Control Panel is then programmed to operate only
with devices set to this House Code. All detectors
and Remote Control Unit(s) must be configured with
the same House Code in order for the system to
operate correctly.
Inside the Siren, Detectors and Remote Control Unit is
a series of 8 DIP switches.
The House Code is set up by moving each of the
8 switches in each device to the same randomly
selected ON/OFF sequence. When setting the DIP
switches, ensure that each switch ‘clicks’ fully into
position. Use the tip of a ballpoint pen or a small
screwdriver to move each switch in turn.
Note: It is recommended that the system House Code
is always reset to a code other than the factory default.
