note of passivation phenomena on the lithium battery.
Passivation is a chemical term and it refers to
phenomena that a kind of chemical film appears on the
surface of the metal and prevents the further corrupt
from happening on the surface of the metal. The speed
of passivation is related to the temperature. The higher
the temperature is, the faster the speed is. The longer
the time is, the more serious the passivation is. Please
contact sales for advice about how to avoid the
problem caused by passivation.

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

MULTIPLE USERS

The system allows for up to 7 Users and an
Administrator to be configured. This allows the
system Event Log to maintain a record of which users
have armed and disarmed the system. Each user will
have a different Password. In addition a 3 second
voice recorder facility enables the users name to be
recorded for use with the Latch-Key facility.

Only the Administrator has access to the programming
functions and is able to configure the system.

Note: Each Remote Control Units on the system will be
recorded.

SYSTEM ARMING

The system has a ‘Fully Arm’, ‘Holiday Arm’, ‘Night Arm’
and ‘Partial Arm’. ‘Fully Arm’ and ‘Holiday Arm’ will
arm all zones while ‘Night Arm’ and ‘Partial Arm’ will
only arm certain zones. The modes can be selected
for the following purpose:

Fully Arm

When the property is left un-occupied, the ‘Fully Arm’
mode will arm all zones to protect the entire property for
whole day long.

Holiday Arm

Holiday Arm is similar to fully arm mode except it
supports the schedule and event function of home
automation. If you are away from home for a holiday,
the ‘Holiday Arm’ will arm all zones to protect the entire
property while some set devices (e.g. On/Off receiver)
will be activated at set time per your request. This will
make your house looks as occupied.

Night Arm

The system could be configured such that during the
night, detection of movements in the armed zones
would automatically trigger the Green controls to turn
on the lights so you don’t have to fumble in the dark.
This mode also supports both schedule and event
function of home automation.
Note: Green control refers to the home automation
device that is built in receiver.

Partial Arm

The system could be configured such that at noon,
‘Partial Arm’ would arm only zones protecting the lower
floor and outbuildings leaving the upper floor free for
movement without triggering the alarm.

ZONES

The system incorporates 32 wireless Alarm Zones for
the connection of the system detectors that are used to
independently monitor different areas of the property.
In addition to standard intruder protection, each zone
may also be configured to operate in one of four
modes:

- ‘24-hour Intruder’ mode provides 24 hour intruder

protection for areas/zones where continuous
monitoring is required, (e.g. gun lockers).

- ‘Fire’ mode provides 24 hour monitoring of any

Fire/Smoke detectors incorporated int o t he system.

- ‘Intruder’ mod e allows a zone to be monitored while

the system is armed. If a detector on a test zone
is triggered an entry will be recorded in the Event
Log and an alarm will occur.

- ‘Panic/PA ’ mo de provides 24 hour monito ring of any

emergency being occurred. Activation of any
panic switch will immediately initiate a Full Alarm
condition.

In addition there is the facility to connect 4 hard wired
zones to the Smart Home Box, each of which is fully
configurable with the same features as the wirefree
zones (1-32).

ENTRY/EXIT DELAY

When the system is armed with Exit-Delay enabled, no
alarm signal from any detector on an active zone will be
able to initiate an alarm until the Exit-Delay has expired.
This enables the system to be armed within the
property and allows time for user to exit property
without triggering an alarm. If Exit-Delay is disabled,
detection of movements by the detector will initiate an
alarm as soon as the system begins to arm.

The system Exit-Delay may be configured among 10,
30 seconds, 1, 2 and 4 minutes or off completely.

Similar mechanism works for Entry-Delay except it’s for
user entering the property. This period of time can be
used to disarm the system before an alarm condition
occurs.

The Entry-Delay for all zone may be configured among
10, 30 seconds, 1, 2 and 4 minutes or off completely.

2

QUICK SET

The system may be fully armed in 5 seconds using the
quick set facility, overriding the programmed exit-delay.
This is useful for setting the system at night when the
exit-delay warning beep will be silenced after just a few
seconds.

ZONE LOCKOUT

If a detector on an active zone is triggered while the
system is armed, an alarm condition will occur. After
the programmed alarm duration has expired, the alarm
will stop. If a single zone initiates an alarm condition
more than three times then that zone will be ‘Locked
Out’ and any further alarm signals from that zon e will be
ignored until the system is disarmed.

Note: The ‘Zone Lockout’ feature can be disabled if
required.

EVENT LOG

The Smart Home Box incorporates a memory capable
of storing the last 100 system events. This enables
the user to see which user has Armed/Disarmed the
system and if and when any alarms occurred. The
time, date and details of the event type will be recorded
for each system event.

CHIME

Chime is a low security facility for use when the zone is
disarmed. If the Chime feature is ON, and a detector
on a zone that has its Chime function enabled is
triggered, the internal sounder will produce a low
volume warning tone. A typical use of the Chime
function would be to warn that a door or particular area
has been accessed.

VOICE DIALER

If the Voice Dialer is enabled and an alarm condition
occurs, the system will call for help using your recorded
alarm messages and up to ten telephone numbers.

When an alarm condition occurs, the telephone voice
dialer (if enabled) will call the first enabled number in
the calling sequence and replay the recorded alarm
messages for the configured ‘Play Time’. The recipient
must acknowledge the message by pressing the
button on their telephone keypad. If the call is
unanswered or an acknowledgment is not received
then the next active number in the dialing sequence will
be called. The dialer will continue calling each
number in turn until either all numbers in the sequence
have been dialed the set number of times or the
sequence is cancelled/acknowledged by the recipient.

DIGITAL DIALER

As an alternative to the Voice dialer the system may be
configured to interface with a central monitoring station.

LATCH KEY

When the system is disarmed the Latch-Key facility, if
enabled, will call the first latchkey phone number
among 10 phone number and replay the user message
(recorded under user setup) for the set ‘Play Time’.
The recipient must acknowledge the message by
pressing button on the telephone keypad.

The voice dialer will continue calling the first latchkey
phone number until it has been dialed the set number
of times when the following conditions occur:

1. The call is answered but the recipient does not press
on the telephone keypad for acknowledgement.

2. The call is unanswered or an acknowledgement is
not received.

For example, the latchkey facility is useful to inform
parents that a child has returned from school and
disarmed the system.

REMOTE SYSTEM CONTROL

It is possible to dial into the system via the connected
telephone line to interrogate the system status and to
have basic control over the system, (e.g. to Arm and
Disarm the system). You may also activate the
microphone on the Smart Home Box to Listen-In to
what is happening in the protected property.

TAMPER PROTECTION

All system devices (except the Remote Control Units)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorized attempts to interfere with the
device. Any attempt to remove the battery covers from
any device (except the Remote Control) or to remove
the Smart Home Box from the wall will initiate an alarm
condition (unless the system is in Test or Programming
modes), even if the system is Disarmed.

JAMMING DETECTION

In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the radio
channel used by your alarm system, a special jamming
detection function is incorporated into the Smart Home
Box and Solar Siren. If this feature is enabled, and the
radio channel is jammed continuously for 90 seconds,
when the system is armed, the Solar Siren will emit a
pre-alarm series of rapid bleeps for 3 seconds. If the
jamming continues for a further 30 seconds or more a
full alarm condition will occur . In addition if the system
is jammed for more than three periods of 30 seconds in

3

a 5 minute interval, this will also generate a Full Alarm
condition.

The jamming detection features in the Smart Home Box
and Solar Siren operate independently.

The Jamming Detection circuit is designed to
permanently scan for jamming signals. However, it is
possible that it may detect other local radio interference
operating legally or illegally on the same frequency. If
it is planned to operate the jamming detection feature
we recommend that the system is monitored for false
jamming alarms for at least 2 weeks prior to leaving the
Jamming Detection function permanently enabled.

BATTERY MONITORING

In addition to the battery monitor and low-battery
indicators in each device, the Smart Home Box will also
indicate a low battery status within any Passive
Infra-Red or Magnetic Contact Detector on the system
using the Event log.

ID CODE LEARNING

In order to prevent any unauthorized attempt to operate
or disarm your system, you must configu re yo ur system
to accept radio signals only from your own system
devices. All detectors and Remote Control Units have
their unique ID codes, and the Smart Home Box must
learn their codes individually for the system to operate
correctly.

For the PIR and Magnetic Contact Detectors, simply
pressing the tamper switch located adjacent to the PCB
will emit the ID code to the Smart Home Box instantly
with the Smart Home Box being set at the Security
Sensor zone.

For the Remote Control, pressing the button on
the Remote Control will emit the ID code to the Smart
Home Box instantly with the Smart Home Box being set
at the User setup mode.

For the Green Control or Green Remote/Sensor, please
pay particular attention to the device learning sequence.
Note: Green Remote/Sensor refers to the home
automation device that is built in transmitter.

HOME AUTOMATION

How to make your daily life more convenient? You
can set certain light fixtures or home appliances to work
at set times. Through settings of Holiday Arm or Night
Arm, you can achieve a better quality of life.

DISTANCE CONTROL & FEEDBACK

You can achieve the controlling function of enhanced
devices (i.e. devices with 868MHz radio frequency) via
GSM Gateway or IP Gateway if they are enabled. If
alarm condition occurs, the SMS message/mail will be
transmitted to you as a warning report.

BACKUP & RESTORE

There might be times when you wish to save a system
setting for later retrieval. You can achieve this
function via setting of backup & restore.

SMART HOME BOX

LOCATING THE SMART HOME BOX

When choosing a suitable location for the Smart Home
Box, the following points should be considered.

1. The Smart Home Box should be located in a
position out of sight of potential intruders and in a
safe location, but easily accessible for system
operation.

2. The Smart Home Box should be mounted on a
sound flat surface to ensure that the rear tamper
switch on the Smart Home Box is closed when the
Panel is mounted. The Smart Home Box should
be mounted at a convenient height of between

1.3m and 1.5m and in a position where it will be
seen each day.

Note: If small children are in the household, a
further consideration should be given to keeping
the units out of their reach.

3. It is recommended that the Smart Home Box
should be positioned such that the Exit/Entry tone
(emitted by the Smart Home Box) can be heard
from outside the property.

4. The Smart Home Box should be mounted within a
protected area so that any intruder cannot reach
the Smart Home Box without opening a protected
door or passing through an area protected by a
PIR detector when the system is armed.

5. The Smart Home Box must be located within reach
of a mains socket.

6. If the telephone based functionality is to be used
then the Smart Home Box will need connecting to a
convenient telephone point.

Note: It is recommended that the telephone
connection lead is not extended beyond 5m before

6

connecting to a telephone master or secondary
outlet.

7. Do not locate the Smart Home Box closer than 1m
to any large metallic object, (e.g. mirrors, radiators,
etc) as this may affect the radio range of the Smart
Home Box.

MOUNTING THE SMART HOME BOX

1. Undo the two captive fixing screws on top of the
panel and open the cover. The cover is hinged
along the bottom edge.

2. Unclip and remove the two back-up batteries on
upper and lower right hand side of the panel.

3. Route the cable from the Power Supply Unit up
behind along the cable track on the right hand side
of the Smart Home Box, and connect the plug to
the DC power socket in the panel. Ensuring that
the cable is not trapped between the panel and the
wall.

4. Use the fixing template provided (p.56) to mark
the position of two fixing holes on the wall.
Drill two holes, and insert the supplied plastic wall
plugs and then fit two screws into the wall plugs
until almost fully home. Hang the Smart Home
Box over these screws using the two keyhole slots
on either side of the top corners of the panel
casing.

5. Fix the Smart Home Box by inserting a fixing screw
into the lower fixing hole in the panel and tighten
the screw until it just grip the casing. Do not over
tighten the fixing screws as this could damage or
distort the casing.

6. Ensure that the ‘Reset’ (P1) and the ‘Hard-Wired
Siren tamper detect’ (P51) jumper links are set in
the OFF position.

7. Connect battery leads to both back-up batteries
and refit batteries.

IMPORTANT: Take care when connecting battery
leads to the batteries as connecting incorrectly
could damage the batteries or the Smart Home
Box.

Note: The Power LED may flash to indicate that
the unit is being operated from the back-up
batteries and that mains supply is not present.

8. If fitted, remove the plastic film covering the LCD
display and on the display window on the cover.

9. Close the lid of the Smart Home Box and tighten
the captive fixing screws.

10. Plug in and switch ON the Power Supply Unit, (the

Power LED should illuminate).

11. If required, connect the Smart Home Box to the
telephone line using the cable supplied by inserting
small RJ11 plug into socket marked LINE located
on the bottom edge of the Smart Home Box.

button is pressed.

5. Press to return to the top level menu of
TEST MODE.

PASSIVE INFRARED DETECTORS

PIR detectors are designed to detect movement in a
protected area by detecting changes in infra-red
radiation levels caused when a person moves within or
across the devices field of vision. If movement is
detected an alarm signal will be emitted, (if the system
is armed and the alarm zone active).

Note: PIR detectors will also detect animals, so ensure
that pets are not permitted access to areas fitted with
Passive Infra-Red Detectors when the system is
armed.

8

The PIR Detector adopts a 1/2 AA size 3.6V Lithium
battery which under normal conditions will have typical
life in excess of 4 years. When the battery level drops,
with the PIR in normal mode and the battery cover
fitted, the LED behind the detection window will flash
upon detecting movement. When this occurs the
batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION

The PIR Detector is suitable for mounting in dry interior
locations only.

The recommended position for a PIR Detector is in the
corner of a room mounted at a height between 1.8 and
2m. At this height, the detector will have a maximum
range of up to 10m with a field of view of 110°, subject
to the position for the PCB being set in 5. The position
of the PCB inside the PIR can be set to 5 different
positions to adjust the range of the detector . Setting the
PCB in position 3 will reduce the range to 7m
approximately, with position 1 providing a range of 5m
approximately. The recommended position setting for
the PCB is in position 5.

When considering and deciding upon the mounting
position for the detector the following points should be
considered to ensure trouble free operation:

1. Do not locate the detector facing a window or

where it is exposed to or facing direct sunlight.
PIR Detectors are not suitable for use in
conservatories.

2. Do not locate the detector where it is exposed to

ventilators.

3. Do not locate the detector directly above a heat

source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).

4. Where possible, mount the detector in the corner

of the room so that the logical path of an intruder
would cut across the fan detection pattern. PIR
detectors respond more effectively to movement
across the device than to movement directly
towards it.

Less Sensitive More Sensitive

5. Do not locate the detector in a position where it is

subject to excessive vibration.

6. Ensure that the position selected for the PIR

detector is within effective range of the Smart
Home Box.

INSTALLING THE PIR DETECTORS

Ensure that the system is in Test Mode.

1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the bottom

edge of the PIR. Carefully pull the bottom edge of

the detector away from the rear cover and then
slide down to release the top clips.

9

2. Carefully drill out the required mounting holes in
the rear cover using 3mm drill according to whether
the unit is being mounted in a corner or against a
flat wall.

Note: Using 1

flat wall installation.

Corner mounting

3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the
positions of the fixing holes on the wall.

4. Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two 18mm
No.4 screws and 25mm wall plugs, (a 5mm hole
will be required for the wall plugs). Do not
over-tighten the fixing screws as this may distort or
damage the cover.

5. Configure the PIR detector as described below.
Remember that on initial installation that the device
needs to be tested and should therefore be set in
Walk Test Mode.

6. Check that the detector PCB is located and set in
the correct position to provide the required
detection range. To adjust the PCB position,
simply slide it up or down ensuring that the location
legs are aligned with the required position number
marked on the board.

7. To refit the PIR detector to the rear cover and
locate the clips in the top edge into the rear cover.
Push the lower edge of the detector into place and
refit the fixing screw in the bottom edge of the PIR
to secure in position. Do not over-tighten the
fixing screws as this may damage the casing.

SETTING THE PIR DETECTORS

Located on the PCB of the PIR Detector is a
two-position DIP switch (SW2). When conducting the
Walk Test, ensure that the DIP switch SW2 is set as
follows:

SW2 DIP1 DIP2
ON 9
OFF 9

1. DIP1 of SW2 is used to configure the PIR Detector
for walk test mode, which allows the operation of
the detector to be checked during installation
without triggering a Full Alarm.

ON Walk Test mode
OFF Normal mode

Note: On initial installation the detector should be
set into Walk Test mode ready for testing. Upon
completion of Walk Test mode, set DIP1 of SW2 to
OFF for normal detection mode.

2. The PIR Detector incorporates an anti-false alarm
feature designed to compensate for situations
where the detector may be affected by
environmental changes, (e.g. insects, air
temperature, etc). This feature is called
“sensitivity detection” and may be selected for high
or low detection.

The recommended setting is for high sensitivity
detection. However, in cases of extreme
environmental problems or if unattributable false
alarms are experienced, it may be necessary to
select low sensitivity detection.

10

Set the required sensitivity detection using DIP2 of
SW2 as follows:

ON high sensitivity detection
OFF low sensitivity detection

Note: The higher the sensitivity detection the less
movement will be necessary before the PIR
detector will trigger the alarm.

3. The setting of the DIP1 & DIP2 of SW2 can be
distinguished from the LED indication as follows:

In summary, the setting of DIP1 & DIP2 of SW2 is

concluded as below:

SW2 DIP1 DIP2
ON Walk Test Mode High sensitivity
OFF Normal Mode Low sensitivity

4. Connect the 1/2 3.6V Lithium battery to the battery
spring.

Note: When the battery is connected, the LED
behind the lens will flash for 2-3 minutes as
warming-up duration until the PIR has stabilized
when the LED will then stop flashing and turn OFF.

5. In normal mode, remove the rear cover of the PIR
detector. The Dete ctor’s LED will illuminate and the
Smart Home Box should beep. It is because the
tamper switch fitted on the Detector has been
activated.

6. When the Detector is fully installed i.e. battery

cover is refitted; the Detector will not detect
movement for approximately 2 minutes after each
activation. (This feature is present to conserve
battery power and maximize the battery life).

7. In order to communicate with the Smart Home Box,

the ID code of the Detector needs to be learned by

the Smart Home Box. To proceed with ID code
learning.

a. Set the Smart Home Box into ‘3. Security

Sensor Zone’ and press .

b. Select ‘3-1 Wireless Sensor Zone’ and

press .
c. ‘Input (01-32) Sensor Zone’ and press .
d. An indication of ‘:1 Learning ID’ will be shown

and press .

By pressing tamper switch located adjacent to the
PCB on the Detector will emit the ID code to the
Smart Home Box instantly.

8. For quick start, jumper link (S2) will quick start the
battery this will take approx. 2 minutes. By
placing the jumper link (S2) into position, the LED
adjacent to the (S2) jumper link will become
illuminated, this implies the battery start up has
been completed. It is important to remove the
jumper link (S2) after this has been observed to
save battery power.

Jumper link (S2)

Note: On first battery start up, because of the
nature of the battery protection the battery may
incur a low battery status and may not start up
straight away, but will automatically start within 10
minutes.

Note: Only one of pins of Jumper link (S2) will be
inserted in position as factory default setting.

TESTING THE PIR DETECTORS

Ensure that the system is in Test Mode.

With the PIR detector set in Test mode and mounted in
position on the wall, allow 2-3 minutes for the detector
to stabilize before commencing the Walk Test.

‘ Walk Test Waiting…’ will be displayed.

3. Walk into and move slowly around the protected
area, each time the detector senses movement the
LED behind the lens will flash. In addition, the
Smart Home Box will chime to indicate that the
alarm signal has been received and the identity of
the zone that the detector is configured for will be
displayed.

If necessary adjust the detection range by changing
the mounting position of the PCB within the PIR
housing.

Note: In normal operation, the LED behind the PIR
lens will not flash on movement detection, (unless
the battery is low).

If necessary re-adjust the detection pattern by
changing the mounting position of the PCB within
the PIR housing.

4. Remove the back cover of the PIR detector. The

Smart Home Box should chime and display ‘PIR
Detector Tamper’ to show that the detector’s tamper
switch has been activated.

5. Press to return to the top level menu of

TEST MODE.

6. Reconfigure the PIR Detector for normal mode by

setting DIP1 of SW2 to OFF and refit in position.

Note: When the detector is fully installed i.e. battery
cover is refitted; the unit will not detect movement for
approximately 2 minutes after each activation. (This
feature is present to conserve battery power and
maximize the battery life).

MAGNETIC CONTACT
DETECTOR(S)

The Magnetic contact consists of two parts; a Detector
and a Magnet. They are designed to be fitted to doors
or windows with the Magnet mounted on the opening
part and the Detector mounted on the fixed frame.
Opening the protected door/window will remove the

magnetic field, trigger the Detector and generate an
alarm condition, (if the system is armed and the alarm
zone active).

The Detector is powered by one 3.6V 1/2 AA size
Lithium cells which under normal conditions will have
typical life in excess of 5 years. Under normal battery
conditions with battery cover fitted the LED on the
Detector will not illuminate when the Detector is
triggered, (unless in test mode). However, under low
battery conditions this LED will be illuminated when the
detector is triggered. When this occurs the battery
should be replaced as soon as possible.

For double security, there are two tamper switches
fitted on the Detector. Either removing the Detector
from the protected door/window or removing the
battery cover will generate a full alarm condition.

The Magnetic Contact Detector is of self-contained
wired Magnetic Contact. This contact must be of a
normally closed contact type with the contacts being
opened in order to generate an alarm condition.

CHOOSING A MOUNTING LOCATION

The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for mounting
in dry interior locations only.

Decide which doors/windows are to be protected by
Magnetic Contact Detectors, (usually the front and
back doors as a minimum will have Magnetic Contact
Detectors fitted). Additional detectors may also be
fitted where required to other vulnerable doors or
windows, (e.g. garage, patio/conservatory doors etc).

Note: Take care when fixing the Detector to a metal
frame, or mounting within 1m of metalwork (i.e.
radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could af fect the radio
range of the device. If required, it may be necessary
to space the magnet and detector away from the metal
surface using a plastic or wooden spacer to achieve
the necessary radio range.

INSTALLING THE MAGNETIC CONTACT
DETECTORS

Ensure that the system is in Test Mode.

1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the bottom
edge of the Detector. Remove the battery cover by
sliding and lifting it off. (DO NOT use a screwdriver
to lever the cover off).

2. Fit the 3.6V Lithium battery supplied, with the
negative (-) towards the battery spring.

3. Mount the Detector to the fixed part of the frame
along the opening edge opposite the hinges using
either the double sided adhesive tape or screws
provided.

If fixing the Detector with screws; fit the Keyhole
slot in the top of the Detector over the head of the
smaller pan-head screw. Secure the bottom of
the Detector using the 12mm countersunk head
screw fitted within the battery compartment. You
will need to drill out the centre of the fixing screw
hole using a 3mm drill. Do not over tighten the
fixing screws as this may distort or damage the
casing.

4. Fit the Magnet to the moving part of the
door/window opposite the Detector using the
adhesive tape or 15mm fixing screws.

Ensure that the parallel gap between the Magnet
and Detector is less than 10mm and that the arrow
on the Magnet is pointing towards and aligned with
the mark on the Detector.

5. If several windows need to be protected, remove
the self-contained wired supplied and adopt the
wire according to the specifications as mentioned
below. This should be wired to the terminal block
provided in the battery compartment in series
connection. The wired contact should be
connected using two core (24AWG) wire of
maximum length 1.5m.
A cable entry cut-out is available and adjacent to
the terminal block.

6. Refit the battery cover.

SETTING THE MAGNETIC CONTACT
DETECTORS

1. Located on the PCB of the Detector is a
two-position DIP switch (SW2).

2. DIP switches 1-2 are used to enable/disable the
internal or external wired magnetic contact.

On/Off
Selection

ON Internal on External on
OFF Internal off External off

Internal connection External wired connection

If setting the DIP1 & DIP2 to ‘Off’, only the internal

contact will be active. When two contacts are in
use for internal and external connection
simultaneously, one activation will be counted if one
of the contacts is opened; while both contacts must
be all close, the Detector will then be treated as
close.

3. If external contacts are wired to the Detector, set
the DIP1 to ‘Off’ and DIP2 to ‘On’.

IMPORTANT: If external contacts are not
connected, set the DIP1 to ‘On’ and DIP2 to ‘Off’
for the detector to operate correctly .

5. For quick start, jumper link (S1) will quick start the
battery this will take approx. 2 minutes. By
placing the jumper link (S1) into position, the LED
adjacent to the (S1) jumper link will become
illuminated, this implies the battery start up has
been completed. It is important to remove the
jumper link (S1) after this has been observed to
save battery power.
