Note:
Remote operation is performed per partition,
or per user code defined for a particular partition,
when partition is enabled.
•
Numerical keys serve as function keys:
In the
disarmed state, numerical keys are used to control
various system functions. A simple icon on each
key identifies the task of that key.
•
Electrical device control:
Lights and electrical
appliances can be controlled if optional X-10
modules are used. The electrical cabling network
of the premises carries the control signals. Your
installer will determine the control means in
accordance with your needs.
•
PGM remote control:
Gate control mechanisms,
courtesy lights and various other devices can be
switched on and off via a special PGM
(programmable) output. Your installer will
determine the control means, in accordance with
your needs.
Note:
The X-10 and the PGM outputs
operate on the entire alarm system and not per
partition, when partition is enabled.
•
Data retrieval:
You can obtain status information,
trouble information and review memorized alarm
events - visually and verbally.
•
Looking after elderly, physically handicapped
and infirm individuals:
The system can be
programmed to monitor activity within the
protected area and send out an alert message if
the person under surveillance remains still for a
predefined period of time (as set by your installer).
•
Distress calls:
Miniature pushbutton transmitters
dealt out to specific individuals may be used for
sending emergency calls for help.
•
Disarming under duress:
If a user is forcibly
compelled to disarm the system, he can use a
special code that disarms the system apparently
as usual, but sends a silent alarm to the central
station (see chapter 2).
•
System supervision:
All wireless peripherals
within the protected site send periodic supervision
messages. If such a message is overdue, the
PowerMax Pro displays an ‘inactivity’ trouble
message. Your installer can disable this feature if
so desired.
•
Battery supervision:
You do not have to worry
about ‘dead’ batteries. The PowerMax Pro displays
a ‘Low Battery’ message whenever a battery in a
wireless sensor is found to be near the end of its
useful life.
Terms of the Trade
Better understanding of your system is assured if you
take time to read the definitions in
APPENDIX A
at
the end of this manual. However, if this is not your
first alarm system, then simply read on.
Control Pushbuttons
When the keypad cover is closed, as shown in
Figure 1, only two pushbuttons are visible - the top
