Introduction to PowerMaster-360
Note:
"PM" is used as an abbreviation for "PowerMaster".
The PowerMaster-360 is a wireless alarm system used to detect and alert the occurrence of
a variety of security and safety hazards, including burglary and fire. The PowerMaster-360
is governed by a control panel that is designed to collect data from various sensors that are
strategically located within and along the perimeter of the protected site.
The alarm system can be armed or disarmed by a variety of key-fobs and keypads using special
codes. Proximity tags enable authorised people to enter restricted zones.
In the
armed state
, the system initiates an alarm upon detection of a disturbance in any one of the
armed zones.
In the
disarmed state
, the system provides visual information, and initiates an alarm if smoke is
detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone.
The system identifies a wide range of events, including alarms, attempts to tamper with sensors,
and several types of trouble. Events can be reported automatically to monitoring stations, private
telephones, and mobile phones. Events can be reported by SMS and email. Your installer can
determine what type of events will be reported to which destination.
Note:
A qualified technician must check the system at least once a year.
PowerMaster-360 features include the following:
Multiple arming modes
Away, Home, Away-Instant, Home-Instant, Latchkey, and Bypass
Disarm under duress
If a user is forcibly compelled to disarm the system, they can do so using a duress code that
disarms the system as usual, but also sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station.
System supervision
All wireless peripherals within the protected site send periodic
keep alive
supervision
messages. If a
keep alive
message is overdue, the system reports a
missing
trouble alert.
Battery supervision
The PowerMaster-360 continuously monitors the battery condition of the sensors and
devices in the system, and sends a
low battery
message whenever a battery needs to be
replaced within a maximum of 30 days.
Distress calls
Users can use key-fobs to activate distress calls by pressing two buttons simultaneously.
Access from remote telephones
You can access the PowerMaster-360 from a remote telephone and arm or disarm it, or
receive status information.
