1. Introduction
The 8136 System
The 8136 system comprises an end station, one or more keypads, and
various detectors.
The end station is a steel box that houses the main components, power
supply and stand-by battery. The end station is normally fitted out of sight in a
safe place.
The detectors are installed at various places, or
zones
, around the premises.
If something triggers a detector it signals back to the end station. How the
end station reacts depends on whether the system is
set
or
unset
.
If the system is
set
it will raise an alarm whenever one of the detectors is
triggered. The alarm might be a bell or strobe on the outside of your
premises, or it might be a silent signal over the telephone line to a central
monitoring station. When
unset
the system does not raise an alarm if a
detector is triggered.
The 8136 provides four different setting
Levels
, labelled A, B, C an D. Each
Level may protect a different area of your premises. The system raises an
alarm when a detector belonging to a set Level is triggered. If a detector
belonging to an unset Level is triggered then the system will not raise an
alarm. The Installer programs the Levels during installation. Ask your Installer
to tell you which zones are allocated to each Level.
Your premises may be fitted with
24 hour
zones,
panic alarm
and fire zones.
If these zones are triggered the system will raise an alarm whether or not any
Level is set.
The keypad is used to operate the system. From the keypad you can set and
unset the system, read the event log, and make minor changes to the way
the system operates.
You must enter an
access code
before the system will accept commands
from the keypad. The system can store up to 95 different access codes,
providing secure access for 95 users. One access code is reserved for the
system supervisor, who can change the access codes of all the other users.
None of the other users can change the access code for the supervisor.
Note: Ask your Installer for details of any features mentioned in this manual. Many of
them are options that the installation engineer can select while programming
the system.
