Dear Oasis user
The development and production of your security system have been done by
the
manufacturer
with maximum care so that your oasis of safety – your
room, house or company premises – can be protected as well as possible.
The second party having an impact on the quality of a security system is the
installer
. The installer company should know the system well, therefore do not
hesitate to contact them if you have any questions about system operation or
when you need an in-depth explanation of how the system works.
However, the most important participant of a properly working security system
is you, the daily
user
. Please, follow these guidelines as well as the installer’s
instructions when you take over the system. During the system’s everyday use,
you can read information from the keypad display. This way you can be
informed that a balcony door is open or that maintenance of a particular device
is needed.
What is a security system?
Any electronic security system (ESS) has a control panel as its essential part.
The control panel comprises all the system’s important functions. Among the
control panel’s constituent optional parts, there is a communicator for
transmitting messages to an alarm receiving centre, and a back-up battery,
which ensures that the system works properly (for a given period) after a power
supply outage.
The control panel should be installed in a hidden place. In the case of an
intrusion, a hidden-working control panel transmits messages even if all other
parts of the ESS have been destroyed.
The connection between you and the control panel is established via a keypad.
This way you can operate the system or, conversely, the system informs you via
the keypad display or LED signalling.
House premises are protected by detectors. These react to various events:
movement (PIR), door or window opening (magnetic detector), glass pane
breaks (glass break detector). In addition, smoke detection or combustible gas
leak detection can be included in a system’s functionality. This way an ESS can
detect threats to property or health.
When a security system detects movement in a protected area, information is
sent, depending on the system configuration, to your mobile phone or to an
alarm receiving (central monitoring) company, which performs on-site physical
intervention. Outdoor sirens let the neighbourhood know that something is
going on, whereas the main purpose of indoor sirens is to discourage the
intruder.
