Voice Memo
In addition it is also possible to record messages at
the Control Panel using the ‘Voice-Memo’ facility.
Each voice-memo message is limited to a maximum
duration of 30 seconds and counts as an answer
phone message.
Remote System Control
It is possible to dial into the system via the telephone
to interrogate the system status and to have basic
control over the system, (e.g. to Arm and Disarm the
system). You may also activate the microphone on
the control panel to Listen-In to what is happening in
the protected property.
Answer phone and Voice-memo messages may also
be accessed remotely.
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).
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 also on some Solar Siren models.
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 you are planning to operate the
Jamming Detection feature we recommend that you
wait at least 30 days before activating this feature,
this will allow time for you to become familiar with the
operation of your system.
Battery Monitoring
All devices powered by non-rechargeable batteries
incorporate a battery level monitoring feature which
warns when the battery status is low.
In addition the Control Panel will also indicate a low
battery status on any PIR Detector or Magnetic
Contact Detector on the System.
Batteries on any device indicating a low battery
status must be replaced immediately.
System House Code
In order to prevent any unauthorized attempt to
operate or disarm your system, you must set your
system to accept radio signals only from your own
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 set
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 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.
