USEFUL HINTS FOR POWERMAX+ USERS

Stopping an alarm: When the alarm sounds - press the DISARM (

on the keypad and then enter your access code (1 1 1 1 by default).

Stopping trouble beeps: When trouble occurs in the system, the TROUBLE indicator on the front panel will light, and a sequence of 3 beeps will sound once per minute. If you do not wish to eliminate the trouble immediately and the beeps are bothersome, press the DISARM ( ) button on your key-ring transmitter, or press enter your access code (1 1 1 1 by default). This will silence the buzzer for 4 hours, after which the trouble beeps will resume sounding. Be advised, however, that in any case the trouble beeps are silenced during night hours.

Perimeter and interior zones versus 24-hour zones: Most of the protection sensors in your system are linked to perimeter and interior zones. These zones trigger alarms while the system is in the armed state and do not trigger alarms while the system is in the disarmed state. Other sensors are linked to 24-hour zones which trigger alarms irrespective of arming/disarming.

Arming while perimeter zones are not secured (doors and/or windows are open): Your display will read “NOT READY” if a protected door or window is open. You can find out which zone is “not ready” by clicking the <SHOW/OK> button. You can eliminate the problem by closing the door/window or by performing "Forced arming" (zone deactivation) if this option was enabled by the system installer. In case you intentionally choose to bypass a zone, leave the door or window open and arm the system (a voice message will announce that ”Forced Arming” is under way).

Bypassed zones will not be protected during one arming period.

Gaining access to 24-hour zones: If you wish to access a sensor defined as a 24-hour zone without causing an alarm:

• Click <NEXT> - the display will read: NORMAL MODE.

• Click <NEXT> again - the display will read: USER SETTINGS.

• Click <SHOW/OK> - the display will read: ENTER CODE ___.

• Key your secret 4-digit <User Code> - the buzzer will play the “happy tune” (- - - ––––).

You have 4 minutes during which the 24-hour sensor can be opened and accessed. When the 4 minutes are up, the system will automatically revert to the normal mode.

Canceling accidental alarms: Upon alarm, the internal sounder is activated first for a limited period of time (set by the installer). Then the external siren starts and the event is reported to the central monitoring station. If you accidentally cause an alarm, you may simply disarm the system before the external siren starts - the alarm will not be reported.

If you cause an alarm accidentally and the external siren has already started - you can still disarm the system within a time limit set by the installer (1 to 15 minutes, as desired). If you manage to disarm on time, a CANCEL ALARM message will be automatically sent to the central monitoring station.

Failing to exit before the exit delay expires: If you exit the protected site after the exit delay expires (the exit delay beeps stop), the system will interpret this as if you just entered. The entry delay countdown will begin and the entry delay beeps will sound. To prevent an alarm, you must disarm the system before the entry delay expires.

Unauthorized entry took place while you were away: If you hear alarm sirens when you are about to re-enter the premises, and lights which should be off are on - an intruder may still be inside or another event may have occurred. Do not confront the intruder - remain outside and call the emergency services.

This system is suitable for Grade A household burglary applications.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

The PowerMax+ is a wireless alarm control system that provides protection against burglary, fire and tampering. In addition, it can be used to control lights and electrical appliances within your household and/or to monitor the activity of disabled or elderly people left at home. Status information is presented visually and verbally, and in most cases a recorded voice prompts you to take correct action.

The PowerMax+ is governed by a control panel (Figure 1) designed to collect data from various sensors that are strategically located within and along the perimeter of the protected site (Figure 2).

In the disarmed state, the system provides you with visual and verbal status information, and initiates an alarm if smoke is detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone (a zone which is active 24-hours a day).

In the armed state, the system will initiate an alarm upon detection of disturbance in any one of the armed zones.

You will need a 4-digit security code to master the system, and you can authorize 7 other persons to use the system by providing them with their own security codes. Moreover, you can obtain up to 8 multi-function key-ring transmitters that will allow you and other users to control major functions without approaching the control panel.

IMPORTANT! All you need to know to secure your premises can be found in Section 2 of this manual.

If you are not familiar with some of the terms used here, refer to Appendix A at the end of this guide.

1.2 System Features

Your PowerMax+ offers a large number of unique features:

• 30 zones: Each protected zone is identified by number and by name (ask your installer to assign names to your zones).

• Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY- INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT, LATCHKEY and BYPASS.

• Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language status information and prompts are displayed on the front panel in large, clear letters.

• Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the right side of the display.

• Various reporting destinations: Events are reported automatically to central monitoring stations, private telephones of your choice and even to a pager.

• Selective reporting: Your installer can determine what type of event will be reported to which destination.

• Latchkey mode: An automatic “Latchkey” message is sent to chosen telephones if the system is disarmed by a “latchkey” user (a junior family member, for instance).

• Spoken announcements and instructions: Status- dependent, pre-recorded verbal messages are heard over the built-in loudspeaker (if the voice prompts are enabled - see Para. 7.10).

• Message exchange: Before leaving the premises, you may record a short verbal message for other users of the system who may arrive later. Upon arrival, you can listen to verbal messages left by others for you.

• Keypad and wireless control: Full control from the keypad; major functions can be carried out by pressing buttons on hand-held miniature transmitters.

• Access from remote telephones: You may access the PowerMax+ from a remote telephone and Arm/Disarm it or receive system status information.

• 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 building 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.

• 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 (not used in UL-listed systems):

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 too long.

• 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 Para. 2.13F).

• System supervision: All wireless detectors and wireless commanders within the protected site send periodic supervision messages. If such a message is overdue, the PowerMax+ displays an ‘inactivity’ trouble message. Your installer can disable this feature if so desired.

DE5467U 5

• Battery supervision: You do not have to worry about ‘dead’ batteries. The PowerMax+ displays a ‘Low Battery’ message whenever a battery in a wireless device is found to be near the end of its useful life.

1.3 Terms of the Trade

Review status messages one by one and also select a displayed option.

With the keypad uncovered (see Figure 4), the specialfunction keys are visible. The tasks of these keys are explained in the relevant sections of this guide.

1.6 Multi-Function Transmitter

Your system responds to signals sent by a 4-button miniature ‘keyfob’ trans- mitter (MCT- 234) that you and other users can carry. The function of each key is indicated in Figure 3 on the right. Your installer can program the AUX (auxiliary) button to perform various tasks, as required.

Note: For UL-listed systems, the AUX button shall not be programmed to activate any output.

A. Controlling a gate or another electrical device:

Pressing the AUX button opens/closes an electricallycontrolled gate, or controls a chosen electrical device.

Pressing AWAY and HOME together for 2 sec. initiates PANIC alarm. Pressing AWAY twice within 2 sec. initiates Latchkey arming.

DISARM

AUX

B. Arming the system in the INSTANT mode (without

an entry delay): Pressing the AUX button immediately after arming, during exit delay, causes the system to be armed without an entry delay. This means that entering the protected premises via any zone will trigger an immediate alarm. You and other holders of keyfob transmitters will have no problem, because you can disarm the system before entering by pressing the DISARM (

) button on your transmitter before entry.

C. Getting status information: Upon pressing the AUX

button on your transmitter, the voice module announces the system status over the loudspeaker.

Disarming by a keyfob whose battery voltage is low

If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard for 15 seconds (if this beep is enabled by the installer). During this period you should press again the disarm button of the keyfob or control panel (for the control panel, user code is required) to disarm the system. If you perform this action during the 15 seconds period, the Low Bat message will be stored in the event log.

If the disarm button is not pressed again during the 15 seconds period, perform either of the following actions: A. Press AWAY twice to arm the system, otherwise the

system will not be armed and an acknowledgement (from the user that he knows about the Low Bat) will not be stored in the event log.

B. Press AWAY and then press disarm button, to ack-

knowledge, otherwise the acknowledgement will not be stored in the event log.

1.7 Voice Announcements

The pre-recorded voice announcements respond to your commands by announcing what the system is doing and by prompting you to perform certain actions. They also announce alarms, troubles and identify the source of each event. The pre-recorded plain language announcements made by the voice module are quite clear and self explanatory. Therefore, the spoken text was omitted in the following sections of this guide and focused attention on visual display and sounder beeps. This way the user guidance is brief and concise.

1.8 Screen Saver Option

The Screen Saver option (if enabled by the installer) causes that when no key is pressed during more than 30 seconds, the display is “PowerMax” and the LEDs do not light (to prevent an intruder to know the system status). The normal display returns after pressing the OFF button followed by entering user code (Refresh by Code) or after

pressing any key (Refresh by Key), as selected by the installer. If Refresh by Key was selected, the first pressing of any key (except Fire and Emergency) causes normal display return and the second press performs the key function. Regarding the Fire and Emergency keys, the first key press causes normal display return and also the Fire/Emergency function.

2.2 Preparing to Arm

Before arming, make sure that READY is displayed:

If Ready is displayed, all zones are secured, and you may arm the system any way you choose. If at least one zone is open (disturbed), the display will read:

If NOT READY is displayed because of unsecured zone, click zones one by one. Let us assume that zone 2 (the back door) and zone 13 (the kitchen) are open. To investigate, proceed as follows:



None (see note below)

Note: To quit immediately at any stage, press 

It is highly recommended to fix the open zone(s), thus restoring the system to the state of “ready to arm”. If you

do not know how to do this, consult your installer. IMPORTANT! All arming procedures below are based on

the assumption that quick arming has been enabled by the installer. If quick arming is disabled, the PowerMax+ will prompt you to enter your security code before arming.

2.8 Forced Arming

(Not to be used in UL- listed systems)

Forced arming allows you to arm the system even though one zone or several zones are disturbed, and the NOT READY message is displayed.

Automatic forced arming only works if the installer allowed this option while programming your system. Disturbed zones will be bypassed - they will not be armed. The protected site will not have maximum protection.

Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer “protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit delay until the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.

When NOT READY is displayed, Forced arming “AWAY” is performed as follows:

2.9 Arming in the Latchkey Mode

(Not to be used in UL-listed systems) This mode is useful for a parent at work who wants to be sure that his children have returned from school and have disarmed the system. Arming in the “latchkey” mode means that a special “latchkey” message will be sent out when the system is disarmed by a “latchkey user”.

Latchkey users are holders of user codes 5 through 8 or users of Keyfob transmitters 5 through 8. The latchkey message is considered an alert and not an alarm, and is therefore sent to the private telephones programmed by the user as targets for alert messages. Latchkey arming is possible only when you arm “AWAY”. To arm in the Latchkey mode, proceed as follows:

Action Resultant Display Sound

4. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL (not to be used in UL-listed systems)

4.1 Control Options and Pushbuttons

The system allows manual or automatic remote control of up to 15 electrical devices (lights, radio/TV, tape recorders, fans etc.). This requires an optional X-10 controller and up to 15 remote X-10 units (see Fig. 2). ON / OFF control codes are communicated via the regular household electrical wiring. Besides the X-10 units (numbered 1 to 15), it is possible to control a device connected to the PGM output (unit # 00).

While programming the system, your installer determines ON and OFF times for each remote controlled device. He also determines which zone sensors will switch the remote controlled appliances on and off. However, the decision

whether the remote controlled appliances will respond as programmed is up to you (see next table).

Key Function

Manual activation of lights or other household electrical appliances. Manual deactivation of lighting or other household electrical appliances.

5. READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA

5.1 Reviewing Alarm/Tamper Memory

The PowerMax+ retains in its memory alarm and “tamper” events that occurred during the last arming period.

Note: Alarms enter the memory only after expiry of the “abort period” (see Appendix A). This means that if you disarm the system immediately - before the abort period expires - there will be no memory indication.

A. Alarm / Tamper Indications

When the memory contains at least one event and the system is in the disarmed state, a flashing MEMORY message will be displayed as exemplified:

5.2 Reviewing Trouble Information

A. Trouble Indications

If TRBL flashes in the display, the TROUBLE indicator illuminates, and 3 beeps are sounded once per minute, you will have to investigate the system in order to find out the origin and type of trouble at hand. Trouble types are:

SENSOR

• Inactivity - No radio signals have been received from a

• Low battery - The battery in a sensor, keyfob or

• "Clean me" - The fire detector must be cleaned.

• Gas trouble - Gas detector failure.

• Siren AC failure - There is no power to the siren.

• X-10 trouble - An activation command was sent to a

6. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

6.1 Looking after People Left at Home

An important characteristic of the PowerMax+ is its ability to function in a mode contrary to the usual behavior of an alarm system. When the system is in the disarmed state (or even when armed “HOME” with perimeter protection only), it can keep track of in-house activity and will report lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of motion within predetermined time limits.

To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer to program a specific time limit beyond which lack of motion will be reported as a “not active” alert.

To make things clear, let us assume that an elderly, sick or handicapped person is left unattended in a protected site. This person, disabled or sick as he may be, will not stay entirely still for hours. It is only natural that even while being asleep he will turn over in his bed from time to time. He might also wander into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to the bathroom for other necessities. Upon doing so, the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will detect his movement.

If, for example, the “lack of motion” time limit is set by your installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will carry out a 6hour “countdown”.

If motion is detected countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual 6-hour clock will be “reset”) and no alert message will be sent out.

If no motion is detected interior zone, the control panel will send a “not-active” alert message to the central monitoring station or to private telephones designated by the installer.

IMPORTANT! In addition, you may provide the person confined to interiors with a single-button transmitter for distress situations - see Para. 6.2.

6.2 Emergency Calls for Help

(not to be used in UL-listed systems)

Suppose the disabled person discussed in Para. 6.1 above has an accident such as falling in the bathtub without being able to get up. It might take hours before the “No Active” alert is sent out, but he (or she) must be assisted much sooner.

Even though the odds for such an accident are not high, it is advisable to provide the disabled person with a miniature, single-button pendant-type or wristwatch-type transmitter. Pressing the button on this transmitter will cause the PowerMax+ to send an “emergency call” to the central monitoring station or to private telephones designated by the installer.

To make this possible, ask your installer to define one of the 28 zones of the PowerMax+ as an emergency zone. Then, obtain one of the transmitters listed below and link this transmitter’s ID code to the emergency zone.

Compatible distress transmitters are (see Fig. 5):

MCT-201 - pendant-type (not listed by UL)

MCT-211 - wristwatch-type (not listed by UL)

MCT-101 - pocket-type (not listed by UL)

Remark Regarding Listen-in & Speak-out modes

Listen-in & Speak-out modes allow one way speech at a time. Back and forth exchange of uninterrupted speech between two parties is a method normally used in military, commercial and amateur radio communication. Once you finish talking you should say “Go Ahead” or “Over” and then switch from speak-out to listen in. When the person at home finishes talking he should also say “Over”, as a cue to you to switch back from Listen-in to speak out.

EXAMPLE: You (at remote telephone):

you hear me? Are you in any trouble? Over”....

Person at home: “Yes, I am. I had a dizzy spell while trying to get out of bed and fell on the floor. I am unable to get up and my thigh hurts. Can you help me? Over”...

You (at remote telephone):

someone right away, stay put - over”.....

Person at home: “Thanks, please hurry, over”. You (at remote telephone):

6.4 Reporting to Private Telephone

PowerMax+

control

panel

The PowerMax+ can be programmed by the installer for selective transmission of messages to private telephone subscribers. Messages are divided by type into 3 groups:

Group Events Reported

Fire, Burglary, Panic, Tamper

Arming AWAY, Arming HOME, Disarming

No-activity, Emergency, Latchkey

Group 1 has the highest priority and group 3 has the

lowest priority. When the called party answers a call initiated by the

PowerMax+, he will hear a verbal message composed of the “house identity” and the type of event that occurred. For example, once smoke is detected in the Smith residence, the message will be:

[The Smith Residence - Fire Alarm].

If a person under surveillance in the Watkins residence has been inactive, the message will be:

[The Watkins Residence - No Activity].

The called party must acknowledge the message (as explained later on), but if he does not respond, the message will be transmitted repeatedly as many times as possible within a 45-second time limit. When the 45 seconds are up, the PowerMax+ will disengage the line and call the next private telephone number on its list.

The called party can acknowledge the message by pressing a key on the telephone keypad, as follows.

Acknowledge only: The PowerMax+ disengages the line and considers the event duly reported. Acknowledge and listen-in: The protected site is “bugged” for sound for 50 seconds. The called party may prolong the listening session by pressing [3] again before the PowerMax+ disengages the line, or by pressing [1] to speak. Acknowledge and speak out: The called party may speak for 50 seconds to whoever is in the protected site. The called party may prolong the “speak out” session by pressing [1] again before the PowerMax+ disengages the line, or by pressing [3] to listen. Acknowledge and 2-way conversation: You and the called party can speak and listen without any necessity to switch the system from "listen-in" to "speak-out" Acknowledge and request a status report: The PowerMax+ will issue a verbal report of system status. For example:

[Disarm - ready to arm] or [Disarm - back door open] or [Disarm - alarm in memory].

and vice versa for 50 sec. (extendable).

6.5 Remote Control by SMS

PowerMax+ system with GSM unit can respond to SMS commands from any cellular telephone, only if the “REM ACCESS ON” command was pre-selected by the system installer.

The various SMS commands are detailed in the following table (the detailed SMS message sending process is described in the cellular telephone user’s guide). In this table, “<code>” means 4-digit user code and blank space simply means blank space.

• The PowerMax+ dials the pager’s phone number, waits

5 seconds and sends the numerical message.

• The message transmitted by the PowerMax+ to the

pager is actually a string of digits, as follows:

YYY

[

]

0ZZ#

[

Zone or

User No.

]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

[

Pager’s PIN No. - Up to 16 digits

Programmed by the Installer

]

Event Type

Figure 6. Pager Message Structure

The person receiving the message sees only the “YYY 0ZZ#” part of the message, which he can interpret by using the following legend:

Events types (YYY) are coded as follows:

Event Code Event Code

Alarm 919 Fire 515 Trouble 818 Close 101 Emergency 717 Open 102 Panic 616 Latchkey 103

ZZ is the zone number in which the event occurred, or the

user number in case of Close

, Open and Latchkey events.

Example 1: Message reads “919-003”:

This means an alarm occurred in Zone No. 3.

Example 2: Message reads “101-008”:

This means the system was closed (armed) by user No. 8.

7. USER SETTINGS

7.1 What are the Settings You Need?

The installer provides you a ready-to-use alarm system, but a few settings and adjustments will still be needed.

Note: Although the user settings are your responsibility, you may request your installer to perform them for you (except for the user codes, which you would like to keep secret).

6.8 Conducting a Walk Test

The walk test is an indispensable operation by which you verify that all detectors function properly, without disturbing the neighbors with loud sirens. The test must be performed

at least once a week, and should include all detectors in

all zones.

Note: During the test period, 24-hour zones will not cause an alarm if violated, but a fire zone will function normally.

A typical test will take place as follows:

A. Press the test button ( ). B. The display will prompt you for your user code:

ENTER CODE ___

C. Enter your code. The siren will sound for 2 seconds and

the display will change to:

TESTING

D. Walk throughout the protected area and make sure you

trigger every detector with no exception (move across the field of view of motion detectors and open/close doors and windows). Each time a detector is triggered:

 The “Happy Tune” will sound,  The zone name and number will be displayed briefly,

EXAMPLE 1: You triggered a motion detector in the

living room (zone 11). The display will show:

LIVING ROOM



Z11 Violated

After 5 seconds the display will revert to:

TESTING

EXAMPLE 2: You opened a window in the guest room

(zone 13). The display will show:

After 5 seconds the display will revert to:

E. When done, click the  button repeatedly. The

display will show the test results, zone after zone, in ascending numerical order. For example:

or: “Z13 NOT OK” if there was no response from Z13.

To resume testing, click . To quit the test mode,

click

G. Click . The display will revert to its normal state.

The user settings include:

• Bypassing zones - determining which zones will be

bypassed (disabled) during the present disarm period and the next armed period.

• Reviewing the bypass list - "show bypass" - displaying

the numbers and names of bypassed zone one by one.

• Recalling the last bypassing scheme - "recall bypass" -

re-using the previous bypassing scheme, which becomes suspended after disarming but is still saved in the PowerMax+ memory.

You can use the flow chart as your only guide along the user settings process, instead of going through the step-by-step instructions.

7.3 Bypassing Zones

(Not to be used in UL- listed systems)

A. General Guidance

You can program the PowerMax+ to exclude (bypass) selected zones, regardless of whether these zones are "functional" (undisturbed) or "open" (disturbed). Bypassing permits free movement of people within certain zones although the system is armed. It is also used to temporarily remove from service faulty zones that require repair work.

Fire zones can not be bypassed.

Remember – zone bypassing compromises security!

Zone bypassing must be carried out while the system is in the disarmed state.

Note: Zones will be bypassed throughout one disarm-arm period only. Disarming the system after arming will suspend the entire bypassing scheme, which can be recalled later, if so desired.

B. Bypassing Procedure

Having entered your user code

7.2), the display will read:

SET BYPASS

If at this point you click <SHOW/OK>, the number, state and name of the first zone will be automatically displayed. Three states are possible:

• Open: The zone is not secured - you can bypass it if you

do not wish or know how to solve the problem just now.

• Bypassed: The zone is presently bypassed (you

bypassed it before but haven't armed the system yet).

• Functional: If there is nothing wrong with the zone, its

state is described as "Functional

Let us assume that Zone 1 is "open" and you wish to bypass it, and the rest of the zones are functional.

8. READING THE EVENT LOG

8.1 Event Log Description

All events are memorized in an event log that contains up to 100 entries. You can access this log, review the events one by one and draw functional conclusions.

If the event log fills up completely (the number of registered events reaches 100) it continues to accept new events at the expense of old events - the oldest event is deleted upon registration of each new event.

The date and time of occurrence are memorized for each event. When reading the event log, events are shown in chronological order - from the newest to the oldest.

9. MAINTENANCE

9.1 Replacing the Backup Battery

The PowerMax+ uses regular electrical supply, but incorporates backup 7.2/9.6V battery pack (see sticker on battery cover). It is important to replace it immediately upon receiving the following trouble message when reviewing system troubles (see Para. 5.2B):

CPU LOW BATTERY

Open door

Remove screw and cover

Connect rechargeable battery pack (see sticker on battery cover) to the battery connector. Then remount the cover and close the door.

Note: Removal of the cover shown in step 2 will start a

“tamper” alarm - the trouble indicator will light and both “memory” and “trouble” will flash in the display window. If you interrogate the system at this stage by clicking the <OK> button, “CPU TAMPER ALARM” and “CPU TAMPER OPEN” will be displayed, in addition to “CPU LOW BATTERY”.

With correctly inserted fresh batteries and tight closure of the lid, the TROUBLE indicator should extinguish. The “MEMORY” message will continue blinking in the display (caused by the “tamper” alarm you triggered). Clear it by arming the system and disarming it as soon as the exit delay starts.

9. 2 Replacing Wireless Devices Batteries

The wireless sensors supplied with your system are powered by high-capacity lithium batteries that last several

10. PERFORMANCE LIMITS

Although the alarm control system you purchased is highly reliable, it does not guarantee protection from burglary and fire hazards. Even the most advanced systems can be defeated or might occasionally fail to warn. Some of the reasons for this are:

Sloppy maintenance: If the system is used over a long

period of time without testing, a key element such as a detector or a siren might go wrong without any visible or audible signs of failure. If a low battery warning is neglected, there will be no backup power to keep the system operational during a power outage.

years, depending on the number of times the sensor is triggered into transmission. However, if and when a battery becomes weak, the sensor itself sends a “low battery” message to the control panel, and a low battery trouble message is displayed together with the zone information (see Para. 5.2).

keyfob transmitters used to control the system are

The powered by an alkaline battery that lasts about one year if you do not press a button more than 10 times a day. Battery exhaustion is clearly evident by flashing of the transmitter’s red indicator while the button is pressed (instead of lighting steadily).

When a low battery indication appears for the first time, it may be considered as a pre-warning. It normally gives you ample time (about 30 days) to obtain a new battery and replace the old one, and the detector or keyfob unit will be fully operational throughout this period. However, to be on the safe side, it is advisable not to wait that long.

Use the battery specified in the detector’s own installation instructions. If you do not have the instructions, seek the advice of your installer or ask him to replace the battery in the specific device that sent the low battery message.

The

Wireless Commander is powered by a long life 3 V

Lithium battery. If the battery is weak when reading the PowerMax+ event log the display will read, for example, "C01 Low Battery" (meaning there is a low battery condition in the wireless commander #01), and the message "remote commander" will be heard. For replacing the wireless commander battery, refer to the MCM-140+ Wireless Commander user guide. After battery replacement, the detector unit will send a “battery restored” signal to the control panel, and the “low battery” message will be cleared.

9.3 Periodic Testing

The components of your security system are designed to be maintenance-free as much as possible. Nevertheless, it is mandatory to perform a “walk test” at least once a week and after an alarm event to verify that all system detectors function properly. Proceed as described in Para. 6.8, and If there is any problem, notify your installer at once.

9.4 Cleaning the Control Panel

The control panel may occasionally get stained if touched with greasy fingers, and may accumulate dust after a long period of use. Clean it only with a soft cloth or sponge moistened lightly with a mixture of water and mild detergent, and then wipe it dry.

The use of abrasives of any kind is strictly forbidden. Also never use solvents such as kerosene, acetone or thinner. These will certainly ruin the external finish and damage the transparency of the top window.

Power failures: In case of prolonged absence from the

protected site, the mains supply may suddenly fail (an earth leakage protection relay may trip, disconnecting the mains supply). After such an event, the alarm system will draw power from the backup battery, until all reserve power is exhausted, leaving the premises without protection.

Telephone line trouble: Telephone lines may be

disconnected or short circuited. With the telephone line "down", your alarm system will not be able to report events to the central station.

22 DE5467U

Sirens do not always wake up sound sleepers: Sirens

and bells installed outside or far from bedrooms are not likely to awaken people who are sound asleep behind closed doors inside the protected area or in adjacent buildings.

The system is sometimes defeated: With sufficient

technical know-how, intruders may find a way to defeat various types of sensor or disconnect warning devices. Intruders may also take advantage of unprotected openings and skylights, or even enter forcibly at unpredictable spots.

APPENDIX A. GLOSSARY

This list of terms is arranged in alphabetical order. Any term indicated by cursive (italic) letters within the explanatory text can be looked up separately.

Abort Period: When an alarm is initiated, the internal

sounder is activated first for a limited period of time which is the abort period accidentally, you can disarm the system within the abort period before the real sirens start and before the alarm is reported to the remote responders.

Alarm: There are 2 kinds of alarm: Loud alarm

constantly and the control panel reports the event by telephone.

Silent alarm - the sirens remain silent, but the control panel reports the event by telephone.

A state of alarm is caused by:

• Motion detected by a motion detector

• Change of state detected by a magnetic contact detector -

a closed window or door is opened

• Detection of smoke by a smoke detector

• Tampering with any one of the detectors

• Pressing the two emergency buttons simultaneously (panic)

Arming: Arming the alarm system is an action that prepares it to sound an alarm if a zone is “violated” by motion or by opening a door or window, as the case may be. The control panel may be armed in various modes (see AWAY, HOME, INSTANT and LATCHKEY). AWAY: This type of arming is used when the protected site is vacated entirely. All zones, interior and perimeter alike, are protected. Chime Zones: Allow you to keep track of activity in the protected area while the alarm system is in the disarmed state. Whenever a chime zone is "opened", the buzzer beeps twice. The buzzer doesn't beep, however, upon closing the zone (return to normal). Residences can use this feature to annunciate visitors or look after children. Businesses can use it to signal when customers enter the premises or when personnel enter restricted areas.

Note: Your installer will never designate a 24-hour zone or a fire zone as a chime zone, because both zone types actuate an alarm if disturbed while the system is in the disarmed state.

Although one zone or more are designated as chime zones, you can still enable or disable the chime function. Control Panel: The control panel is a cabinet that incorporates the electronic circuitry and microprocessor that control the alarm system. It collects information from various sensors, processes it and responds in various ways. It also includes the user-interface - control keys, numerical keypad, display, sounder and loudspeaker. Disarming: The opposite of arming - an action that restores the control panel to the normal standby state. In this state, only fire and 24-hour zones will sound an alarm if violated, but a “panic alarm” may also be initiated.

set by the installer. If you cause an alarm

- both internal and external sirens blare out

Smoke detectors have their limits: In many cases,

smoke detectors fail to warn on time because the fire started at a different level of the house, or too far away from the detector.

All this gives sufficient proof that even with a good alarm system installed, there is still need for life and property insurance. In addition, users should test their alarm systems at regular intervals, to make sure that malfunctions are detected before a true alarm event occurs.

Disturbed Zone: A zone in a state of alarm (this may be

caused by an open window or door or by motion in the field of view of a motion detector). A disturbed zone is considered “not secured”. Forced Arming: When any one of the system zones is disturbed (open), the alarm system cannot be armed. One way to solve this problem is to find and eliminate the cause for zone disturbance (closing doors and windows). Another way to deal with this is to impose forced arming - automatic de-activation of zones that are still disturbed upon termination of the exit delay. Bypassed zones will not be protected throughout the arming period. Even if restored to normal (closed), bypassed zones will remain unprotected until the system is disarmed.

Permission to “force arm” is given or denied by the installer while programming the system. HOME: This type of arming is used when people are present within the protected site. A classic example is night-time at home, when the family is about to retire to bed. With HOME arming, perimeter zones are protected but interior zones are not. Consequently, motion within interior zones will be ignored by the control panel, but disturbance of a perimeter zone will cause an alarm. Instant: You can arm the system AWAY-INSTANT or HOMEINSTANT, thereby canceling the entry delay for all delay zones for the duration of one arming period.

For example, you may arm the control panel in the HOMEINSTANT mode and remain within the protected area. Only perimeter protection is active, and if you do not expect somebody to drop in while the system is armed, alarm upon entry via the main door is an advantage.

To disarm the system without causing an alarm, use your control keypad (which is normally accessible without disturbing a perimeter zone) or use a keyfob transmitter. Latchkey: The Latchkey mode is a special arming mode in which designated "latchkey users" will trigger a "latchkey message" to be sent to a telephone or a pager when they disarm the system.

For example, if a parent wants to be sure that their child has returned from school and disarmed the system. Latchkey arming is only possible when the system is armed in the AWAY mode. Magnetic Contact Detector, Wireless: A Magnet- controlled switch and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. The detector is mounted on doors and windows to detect changes in state (from closed to open and vice versa). Upon sensing that a door or window is open, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an “alarm” signal and various other status signals to the control panel. The control panel, if not armed at that time, will consider the alarm system as “not ready for arming” until it receives a “restored” signal from the same detector.

DE5467U 23

Motion Detector, Wireless: A passive Infrared motion sensor and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. Upon sensing motion, the detector transmits its unique identification code, accompanied by an alarm signal and various other status signals to the control panel. After transmission, it stands by to sense further motion. Non-Alarm Zone: Your installer can designate a zone for roles other than alarm. For instance, a motion detector installed in a dark stairway may be used to switch on lights automatically when someone crosses the dark area. Another example is a miniature wireless transmitter linked to a zone that controls a gate opening mechanism. Quick Arming: Arming without a user code. The control panel does not request your user code when you press one of the arming buttons. Permission to use this arming method is given or denied by the installer while programming the system. Remote Responder: A responder can be either a professional service provider to which the home or business owner subscribes (a central monitoring station) or a family relation/friend who agrees to look after the protected site during absence of its occupants. The control panel reports events by telephone to both kinds of responders. Restore: When a detector reverts from the state of alarm to the normal standby state, it is said to have been “restored”.

A motion detector restores automatically after detection of movement, and becomes ready to detect again. This kind of “restore” is not reported

to the remote responders.

A magnetic contact detector restores only upon closure of the protected door or window. This kind of “restore” is reported

the remote responders.

Smoke Detector, Wireless: A regular smoke detector and a wireless PowerCode transmitter in a shared housing. Upon detection of smoke, the detector transmits its unique identification code accompanied by an alarm signal and various status signals to the control panel. Since the smoke detector is linked to a special fire zone, a fire alarm is initiated.

User Codes: The PowerMax+ is designed to obey your commands, provided that they are preceded by a valid security access code. Unauthorized people do not know this code, so any attempt on their part to disarm or defeat the system is bound to fail. Some operations, however, can be carried out without a user code as they do not degrade the security level of the alarm system.

Zone: A zone is an area within the protected site under supervision of a specific detector. During programming, the installer allows the control panel to learn the detector’s identity code and links it to the desired zone. Since the zone is distinguished by number and name, the control panel can report the zone status to the user and register in its memory all the events reported by the zone detector. Instant and delay zones are “on watch” only when the control panel is armed, and other (24-hour) zones are “on watch” regardless of whether the system is armed or not.
