User Reset
This option determines under what circumstances a user or the installer can reset the
system after an alarm.
Zone Alarms
This appears when
System Options
– Confirmation – Confirmation Mode
is set to Basic
(page 86).
Yes
– The user can reset the system after an alarm triggered by a zone’s alarm circuit.
No
– The installer must reset the system after an alarm triggered by a zone’s alarm circuit.
See als
o “Remote Reset” on page 85.
Note:
Users can reset the system if they unset the system during an alarm, but before the
Alarm Abort period has expired (see page 95).
Zone Tampers
Yes
– The user can reset the system after an alarm caused by a zone’s tamper circuits
being triggered.
No
– The installer must reset the system after an alarm caused by a zone’s tamper circuits
being triggered. The alarm abort period does not apply.
Note:
This setting is required for
INCERT approval.
System Tampers
Yes
– The user can reset the system after an alarm caused by a tamper.
No
– The installer must reset the system after a system tamper alarm. The alarm abort
period does not apply.
Note:
This setting is required for INCERT approval.
A system tamper can be caused by, for example:
Operating a lid/back tamper switch on a device.
Applying a voltage higher than approximately 3V to the TR input from a external
sounder.
Detecting Jamming or a Supervision failure when either of these options are set to
Tamper see page 96.
If a tamper occurs when the system is set, the control unit classifies this as an
unconfirmed or confirmed alarm. The reset follows the alarm reset option NOT the tamper.
Remote Reset (RedCare Reset)
If you select NO for System Tampers, then when a tamper occurs, the control unit enables
the Remote Reset input pin on the plug-by connector. After an alarm, the user may silence
the sounders, but to reset the system, the user must first contact the ARC. The ARC (after
verifyi
ng the user’s identity) can cause the Remote Reset input to go to +12V by way of
the plug-by communicator. On receiving the signal, the control unit allows the user to reset
the system.
If the ARC causes Remote Reset to go to +12V and it reverts back to 0V before the user
resets the system, the control unit remembers that the signal has been sent and still allows
the user to reset the system using their normal access code.
