Inactivity monitoring
The Vi+ can monitor movement around the home and send an alarm call to the
monitoring centre if no movement is detected within a specific time period. When
configured using the keypad, inactivity monitoring is simplified using default settings.
When configured via the PC Connect programming tool or monitoring centre, the
inactivity monitoring feature has three modes (see note below). In all modes, before
an inactivity alarm is raised an inactivity warning period will occur. This warning
period is intended to inform the user
by announcing ‘An inactivity call is about to be
made, please press cancel’ therefore giving them the opportunity to cancel the alarm.
Enabling and changing the inactivity monitoring period, press:
1 8 0
XX
XX is the length of inactivity before an alarm is raised = 00 (15 minutes), 01-99 (time
in hours)
The above sets continuous (24 hour) Mode 3 monitoring with a XX time period, a 5
minute warning period and inactivity monitoring suspended after first alarm until
further activity is detected. Therefore if movement is not detected for XX time in any
24 hour period an alarm call will be raised following a 5 minute warning period.
NOTE
:
Mode 1
– generates an alarm if the user is inactive for a configurable 12 or 24 hour period (continuous
period).
Mode 2
– generates an alarm if the user is inactive between a configurable start and end time (time
window). Two time windows are supported e.g. 7am
– 10am and 4pm – 7pm.
Mode 3
– generates an alarm if the user is inactive for a period of time within a time window or
continuous period. Two monitoring windows are supported e.g. raise an alarm call if the user is inactive
for any 1 hour period between 7am-10am and any 40 minute period between 4pm
– 7pm.
In all modes, before an inactivity alarm is raised an inactivity warning period will occur. This is fixed at 10
minutes for Mode 1 and is configurable between 0 and 9 minutes for Modes 2 and 3. This warning
period is intended to inform the user that an inactivity alarm is about to be raised therefore giving them
the opportunity to cancel the alarm.
After an alarm has been raised, inactivity monitoring can either be suspended until further activity is
detected (all Modes) or can optionally restart immediately (Modes 2 and 3 only).
NOTE
: To avoid false calls to the monitoring centre, inactivity monitoring should be de-activated when
the user leaves their home.
Activate (home mode)
- press the away button
De-activate (away mode)
- press the blue away button
