A Panic button is a device used to operate the alarm sounders in the event of
threat to the user and will operate irrespective of the panel setting.
Installation Example
Figure 4 shows a security system fitted to a typical house with two floors.
Ground Floor
(a) Over two thirds of burglars gain entry through the front or back doors.
Figure 4 shows magnetic door contacts fitted to the front and back doors
to detect when the doors have been forced. In addition, the system will
not set if a door contact is open, prompting the user to check and close
doors or windows before setting. The front door is connected to the
Entry/Exit Zone (EE), the back door to Zone 2.
(b) The downstairs rooms are protected by PIRs (zones 3, 4 and 5). One
PIR is fitted in the hallway (zone 1) to start the entry timer and tone when
the system is part set.
Figure 4. House Ground Floor Plan
First Floor
(a) The first floor in Figure 5 shows a single PIR (zone 6) fitted on the
landing. This ensures that anyone entering the house through a bedroom
triggers an alarm when moving onto the landing. Alternatively, zone 6
can be used for a panic button fitted in the main bedroom.
