System Arming
The system has a ‘Full Arm’ and a ‘Part-Arm’ mode.
‘Full Arm’ will arm all zones while the ‘Part-Arm’ mode
will only arm the zones that are enabled for ‘Part-Arm’.
For example:
The system could be set such that during night time,
‘Part-Arm’ would arm only zones protecting the lower
floor and outbuildings, leaving the upper floor free for
movement without triggering the alarm.
However, when the property is left un-occupied, the
‘Full Arm’ mode will arm all zones to protect the entire
property, (i.e. upper and lower floors and outbuildings).
Zones
The system incorporates 6 wirefree Alarm Zones for
the connection of the system Detectors that are used
to independently monitor different areas of the
property. In addition to standard intruder protection,
each zone may also be set to operate in one of three
other modes:
- Personal Attack mode
provides 24 hour monitoring of any Personal Attack
(PA) switches incorporated into the system.
- 24-hour Intruder mode
provides 24 hour intruder protection for areas
where continuous monitoring is required, (e.g. gun
cupboards).
- Fire mode
provides 24 hour monitoring of any Fire / Smoke
detectors incorporated into the system.
Entry / Exit Delay
Each zone can be programmed to be Armed in either
Instant or Delay mode.
Usually the zone covering the main entrance door and
the route to and from the Control Panel would be set
in Delay mode. This allows time for the user to exit
the property after setting the system at the Control
Panel or to Disarm the system before an alarm
condition is triggered when re-entering the property.
The remaining zones would be set as Instant allowing
them to initiate an alarm immediately a Detector on
these zones are triggered.
Delay Armed zones will not become fully armed until
after the Exit delay period has expired. When a
Detector on a Delay Armed zone is triggered, an alarm
condition will not be triggered until after the Entry
period has elapsed. If the system is not disarmed
during the delay period, an alarm condition will occur
when the delay period expires.
Instant Armed zones will immediately initiate an alarm
as soon as the zone is triggered.
Zone Lockout
If a Detector on an active zone is triggered while the
system is armed, an alarm condition will occur. After
the programmed alarm duration has expired the
alarm will stop and the system will automatically
reset in the armed mode. Subsequent Detectors
triggered will again initiate an alarm condition. If a
single zone initiates an alarm condition three times
then that zone will be ‘Locked Out’ and any further
alarm signals from that zone will be ignored until the
system is disarmed.
Note: The ‘Zone Lockout’ feature can be disabled if
required.
Tamper Protection
All system devices (except Remote Control Units)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorized 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 even if the system is Disarmed
(unless the system is in Test or Programming modes).
Voice Dialler
This system incorporates a telephone voice dialler
which is used to call for help and / or notify the user
that the system has been triggered and an alarm has
occurred.
If the Voice Dialler is enabled and an alarm condition
occurs, the system will call for help using your pre-
recorded alarm message and up to four telephone
numbers. When the telephone voice dialler is activated
it will call the first enabled number in the dialing
