Supervision
If a radio detector loses contact for more than 20 minutes, the control unit generates an
“RF Warning” event when the system is set. The event can be overridden during the
setting process.
If a radio detector loses contact for more than two hours, the control unit may raise an
alarm, depending on the setting you select:
Off
The control unit takes no action, irrespective of whether the system is set or unset.
Fault
With system set, the control unit logs the event, but does not display any alert or give
a fault tone. With system unset, the control unit displays an alert, sounds a fault tone
and logs the event. In both cases, any outputs of type RF Supervision or RF Fault
activate.
Tamper
With system set, the control unit starts a tamper alarm and notifies the ARC with a
“Supervision” message. With system unset, the control unit starts a tamper alarm and
notifies the ARC with a “Supervision” message.
In both cases, if Tamper as Tamper Only is set to Disabled (page 89), any plug-by
outputs of type Supervision or Fault activate. If the system is unset, plug-by outputs
of type Jamming also activate. See page 89. If there is no Tamper channel allocated
in Fast Format, the system sends an unconfirmed alarm.
Note that the
Tamper
option is required in Grade 2 systems to comply with PD6662.
Note:
If you choose
Tamper
and also set
System Options
– User Reset – System
Tampers
to No, the user will not be able to reset the system after a loss of
supervision event.
Jamming
This specifies the action the control unit should take when it detects jamming radio signals.
Off
The control unit takes no action, irrespective of whether the system is set or unset.
Fault
With system set, the control unit logs the event, but does not display any alert or give
a fault tone. With system unset, the control unit displays an alert, sounds a fault tone
and logs the event.
Tamper
With system set or unset, the control unit starts a tamper alarm and notifies the ARC
with a “Jamming” message.
In both cases, if
Tamper as Tamper Only
is set to Disabled (page 89), any plug-by
outputs of type Jamming or Fault activate. See page 89. If there is no Tamper
channel allocated in FSL, the system sends an unconfirmed alarm.
Note that the Tamper option is required for PD 6662:2010.
Note:
If you choose Tamper and also set
System Options
– User Reset – System
Tampers
to No, the user will not be able to reset the system after Jamming event.
