D-303222 PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 Installer's Guide
61
To verify proper communications via the PSTN telephone line, the PowerMaster-10 /
PowerMaster-30 can be configured to send repeated auto test messages at predefined
time intervals to the Monitoring Station via PSTN. Here you can enable the auto test
feature and determine the time interval between the consecutive tests. The reporting
time is set in option 52.
Option settings:
test OFF
(default);
every 1 day
;
every 2 days
;
every 5 days
;
every 7
days
;
every 14 days
;
every 30 days
and
every 5 hours
.
Here you can set the exact time during the day at which the Auto Test message (if
enabled in option 51) will be sent to the Monitoring Station.
Enter the auto test time.
Note:
If the AM/PM format is used, you can set the "AM" digit with the
button
and the "PM" digit with the
button
.

Determine whether a failure in any of the system communication channels i.e. PSTN or
GSM/GPRS will be reported or not and the time delay between detection of the failure
and reporting of the failure event to the Monitoring Station. A trouble event (i.e. "tel line
fail" or "GSM line fail") will be respectively stored in the event log.
To configure:
Press
to enter the
sub menu and then scroll, select and
configure the communication channel you wish i.e.

"LINE FAIL REPORT"
Option settings "PSTN FAIL":
immediat report
(default);
after 5 min
;
after 30 min
;
after 60 min
;
after 180 min
and
do not report
.
Option settings "GSM/GPRS FAIL":
after 2 min
;
after 5 min
;
after 15 min
;
after 30
min
and

(default).
Determine whether the system will report the
"confirmed alarm"
event i.e. if 2
successive alarm events occur within a specific time window, provided the feature is
activated - see section 3.5.4 option 36.
Master Installer only
Option settings:
report disabled
(default);
bypass
(see note below) and
report enabled
.
Note: "bypass
" should be selected when compliance with DD243 Annex B (UK
standard) is required. According to DD243 if a detector that caused the commencement of
the confirmation timer is still alarming at the end of the confirmation timer and a second
alarm (confirmed alarm) did not occur by then, the alarming detector SHALL BE
BYPASSED and the Central station should be informed that the detector/zone is
bypassed
.
A very common reason for false alarms is that users do not exit the premises within the
exit delay period and as a result a false alarm occurs a short time later. In such cases it
is important to inform the Monitoring Station that the alarm occurred shortly after the
system was armed (this event is known as "Recent Close").
Here you can enable the “recent closing” report, that is sent to the Monitoring Station if
an alarm occurs within 2 minutes from the expiry of the exit delay
Option settings:
report disabled
(default)
