1. Introduction
The 9800+ (16 zone) System
The 9800+ (16 zone) system comprises a control unit, one or more keypads,
and various detectors.
The control unit is a steel box that houses the main controller, power supply,
stand-by battery, and any remote communicator. The control unit is normally
fitted out of sight in a safe place (for example under the stairs).
The detectors are installed at various places, or zones, around the premises.
If something triggers a detector then it signals back to the control unit. How
the control unit reacts depends on whether the system is set or unset.
When set the system raises an alarm whenever a detector 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 system provides three different setting Levels, labelled A, B, and C.
Level A sets the whole system, protecting all of the premises covered by the
alarm system. Levels B and C set part of the system, protecting part of the
premises while the rest is in use. The system raises an alarm when a detec
tor belonging to a set Level is triggered. The Installer programs the Levels
during installation. Ask your Installer to tell you which zone is allocated to
each Level.
Your premises may be fitted with 24 hour zones and panic alarm zones. If
these zones are triggered the system will raise an alarm whether or not any
Level is set.
The Keypad
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 8 different access codes,
providing secure access for 8 users.
Figure 1 below shows the keypad in detail.
