NOVO Technical Handbook - NE41 15013-02 v2.0

4.2.6  Mains failure

If the unit loses mains power (AC failure) and is powered from the backup 

accumulator it can be configured to send a 

Mains Failure alarm

 and indicate the 

failure visually and/or acoustically, see chapter "3 Indications".
For Mains failure, a 

detection delay

 can be configured. The unit will delay any 

indication of the failure for the configured detection delay.
For Mains failure, an 

alarm delay

 can be configured. The unit will delay transmitting 

an alarm for the configured alarm delay. The unit will indicate the failure as 

configured.
For Mains failure the unit will add a random time of 5 – 60 minutes to the 

alarm 

delay

. The purpose of this randomized delay is to prevent many units in the same 

area from transmitting Mains Failure alarm simultaneously.

4.2.7  Mains return

If NOVO has reported Mains Failure it can be configured to report 

Mains Return

 when 

AC is returned. A Mains OK alarm will be sent after a random time between 5 – 30 

minutes after detection of AC return.
Any visual/acoustical indications of Mains failure will stop as soon as the unit 

detects return of AC.

4.2.8  PSTN/MOBILE/IP surveillance

Depending on the model NOVO can report status of PSTN/MOBILE/IP connectivity.
For the purpose of this section PSTN/MOBILE/IP will be referred to as Network. Note 

that PSTN, Mobile and IP connections are monitored individually. The surveillance, 

indications and reporting are configured individually.
If the unit detects loss of Network it can be configured to send a 

Network Failure 

alarm

 and indicate the failure visually and/or acoustically, see chapter "3 

Indications".
For Network failure, a 

detection delay

 can be configured. The unit will delay any 

indication of the failure for the configured detection delay.
For Network failure, an 

alarm delay

 can be configured. The unit will delay 

transmitting an alarm for the configured alarm delay. The unit will indicate the failure 

as configured.
NOVO can be configured to send a 

Network OK alarm

 when it detects that Network 

has been restored. Any indications for Network failure are stopped as soon as NOVO 

detects that Network has been restored.
