This is the secondary power source of the system. If primary (230 Vac) power failure occurs, the
battery will take over.
SmartLiving control panels use sealed lead batteries. The battery housing determines the
maximum size of the battery and therefore, its power-storage capacity. SmartLiving control
panels provide housing for one battery @12V 7Ah. The control panel monitors the battery
continuously and keeps it is under constant charge (from Mains).
BACKUP BATTERY
Connection of a zone to a terminal configured as an input.
It is necessary to programme the balancing of each separate zone and wire the terminal
accordingly. The SmartLiving intrusion control panel provides 6 different types of balancing, as
follows:
•
Normally Open
•
Normally Closed
•
EOL
•
DEOL
•
Double zones (only terminals with DOUBLING configuration)
•
Double zones with EOL (only for terminals with DOUBLING configuration)
DEOL and customized zones can discriminate 4 conditions:
•
Short-circuit
•
standby
•
alarm
•
tamper
If you observe the Events list, you will see that there is an alarm event for each zone and a
tamper event for each terminal. This is because a terminal configured as a double zone (or
double zone with EOL) must be able to discriminate between alarm and standby conditions on
each single zone, whereas tamper and short-circuit conditions involve the entire terminal and
not the single zone.
BALANCING
An output, that once activated, requires an explicit command to deactivate it.
Generally, bistable outputs are used to provide immediate signaling (in real-time) of specific
events that occur on the system. For example, if the “Mains Failure” event is associated with a
bistable output that is connected to a LED, the LED will signal the event immediately.
BISTABLE OUTPUT
A bypassed (disabled) zone cannot generate alarms. Each zone can be bypassed/unbypassed
manually by the system users, or automatically by the control panel. Automatic bypass
operations can take place only when the zone is configured as “Auto-bypassable” and the
conditions that regulate auto-bypass operations are in effect (refer to Zone Attributes – Auto-
bypassable).
Zone deactivation is useful when detectors are not working properly and you wish to avoid false
alarms. Under normal circumstances, bypassed (disabled) zones can still generate tamper
events. If you do not wish this to occur you must set the "Bypass Tamper" option on the control
panel.
BYPASS - ZONE
DEACTIVATION
A list of outgoing event-associated calls the control panel must send to programmed contact
numbers.
Enabled users can clear the call queue manually.
CALL QUEUE
A zone with this attribute will generate “Chime on partition” events, if violated when the
partitions it belongs to are disarmed.
Keypads which have partitions in common with the chime zone will emit an audible signal when
the “Chime on partition” event occurs. If all the partitions the zone belongs to are armed, the
zone will operate as programmed. This function is widely used in commercial buildings (shops,
etc.), and is generally associated with the zone that monitors the entrance to the premises in
order to signal the arrival of customers.
CHIME ZONE
Activation of a zone with this configuration generates the command it is assigned to.
SmartLiving control panels manage the following commands:
•
Disarm zone
: if activated, it will disarm all the partitions it belongs to. Zones configured in this
way can be used to disarm partitions by means of a keyswitch.
•
Arm zone
: if activated, it will arm all the partitions it belongs to. For example, keyswitches are
usually configured as command zones.
•
OnArm/OffDisarm zone
: if activated, it will generate an arm-partitions command and, the
instant it restores to standby, a disarm-partitions command. The command will affect only the
partitions the zone belongs to. Zones configured in this way can be used to arm/disarm partitions
by means of a keyswitch.
•
Switch zone
: if activated when all the partitions it belongs to are disarmed, it will arm all the
partitions. If activated when even one of the partitions it belongs to is armed, it will disarm all of
its partitions. The command will affect only the partitions the zone belongs to. Zones configured in
this way can be used to arm/disarm partitions by means of a keyswitch.
•
Patrol zone
: if activated, it will have a patrol function in all the partitions it belongs to.
COMMAND ZONE
Telephone communication protocol (reporting format) for Alarm Receiving Centres using DTMF
tones. Messages transmitted in this protocol contain information regarding the reported events,
such as:
•
user code (“account code”), the numeric identifier code of the caller
•
class code, single digit numeric code that identifies the type of event
•
event code, hexadecimal code comprising two characters that identify the event.
•
“CCC”, a 3 digit numeric code that identifies the device that generated the event
This information is assigned automatically by the control panel or, alternatively, each one can be
programmed by the installer.
CONTACT-ID
A group of operating parameters set at the factory by the manufacturer. The purpose of these
settings is to reduce the work of the installer during the installation phase.
The installer can restore the system to “Default Settings” if necessary.
