IDS800 INSTALLER MANUAL
9. Hardware Reset Switch
In the event that the installer code is lost, it is possible to reset the
panel to its factory default values using the hardware reset switch
labelled
SW1
on the main
PC
board. Provided that the reset switch
has not been disabled (see location 21) the panel may be defaulted by
removing both battery and
AC
power from the panel, and then
reapplying the power (
AC
/battery) while depressing the switch. Factory
default values will be restored to all locations.
NOTE
:
Once the reset switch has been disabled it is not possible to default
the panel using the reset switch. The panel may only be defaulted if a
valid installer code is used and a value of [0] is entered into location 0.
10. Event Log
The
IDS800
automatically keeps an internal log of all events which
may be communicated through the onboard communicator. 200 of the
most recent events will be retained. Once the event log is “full” the
oldest event will be overwritten by the most recent event. An event is
logged regardless of whether or not the panel is programmed to
communicate the event.
The event log can only be retrieved by means of the Windows based
download/upload software and appropriate modem.
The time of each event is not logged in absolute terms i.e. time of day
and date but relative to the previous event. The date and time indicated
on an uploaded event log is calculated by the
PC
using the
PC
clock
time. Since the time at which the upload event was initiated is known,
all other times can be calculated relative to this event.
The
IDS800
does not contain an onboard battery to maintain the clock
time in the event of a total power failure (AC mains failure and
discharged battery) therefore in the event of a total power failure it will
not be possible to calculate the absolute time at which an event took
place. The relative time of each event will still be indicated.
