Alarm (Monitoring function)
If an ON telegram is received at an
input in the armed state, the panel
triggers an alarm. There are four
different alarm messages (objects).
Internal alarm:
The internal alarm is triggered
immediately and without a delay. An
ON telegram is sent to the 1-bit
communication object “Internal
alarm”. This could trigger an
additional horn in the house or be
linked with the alarm function of the
panel itself. In the latter case, a
message and if necessary a signal
tone is displayed/triggered at the
panel itself.
Alarm
The alarm is a continuous alarm and
is sent via the 1-bit communication
object “Alarm” with a time delay. The
“Time delay as long as alarm
release” can be set. A warning lamp
for example could be addressed via
this object.
Example:
A system has been armed directly on
the panel in the hallway. The user
comes home and automatically
triggers an internal alarm. He now
has the “Time delay as long as alarm
release” to prevent an acoustic signal
e.g. an outdoor siren.
Alarm impulse
The 1-bit object “Alarm impulse” is
used to address a horn in front of the
house. In the event of an alarm, this
may only be triggered for maximum 3
min (legal regulation). This means
that an ON telegram is sent to the
object once the “Time delay as long
as alarm release” has elapsed. The
period “Time of the external audio
signal” now starts. If this has
elapsed, an OFF telegram is sent.
The “Time of the external audio
signal” can be set to 1 min, 2 min or
3 min.
Silent alarm
The silent alarm is retrieved by
entering the PIN code for the silent
alarm.
Example:
An intruder has entered the house in
the night and forces the owner to
cancel the alarm. Normally, the owner
would enter the PIN code to
deactivate the system and the system
would be disarmed. If he however en-
ters the PIN code for the silent alarm,
the objects “Alarm”, “Internal alarm” and
“Alarm impulse” are reset but the 1-bit
communication object “Silent alarm”
sends an ON telegram. A telephone di-
alling device or similar could be
addressed via this object.
The PIN code for the silent alarm is
defined in the panel software in a
similar way to the PIN code for
arming/disarming the system. The
user can modify the PIN code,
whereby he presses the touch
surface that is assigned the
monitoring function and retrieves the
function “Code for silent alarm” in the
subsequent window (only visible in
the disarmed state).
Input failure if armed
(Monitoring function)
If an input failure occurs while the
system is armed, this does not trigger
an alarm. To inform the user about
this input failure, there is the 1-bit
communication object “Inputs failure
if armed”. In the event of faults, an ON
telegram is sent via this object.
Installation status (Monitoring
function)
The new status is sent via the object
“Installation status” as soon as the
status of the panel changes. The
object is 1 byte or 14 bytes depending
on the setting “Type of output”. The
system knows three different states:
– Unset
– Ready to set
– Set
