1/ Presentation of Alarm Unit
The unit combines the functions of an Alarm Unit and Telephone Modem.
Equipment
The alarm unit is equipped with:
A keypad including three LEDs and set
of keys for controlling the system
An analog telephone modem
connected to the fixed telephone
network (Z interface)
a built-in 100 dB siren with four
operating modes programmed in the
factory for each function or detector:
•Alarm transmitted without siren
•Alarm transmitted, then siren
activated
•Siren activated if transmission is
unsuccessful or if the telephone
line is cut
•Simultaneous transmission and
siren.
A radio receiver for communication
with the wireless components: motion
detectors, door and window detectors,
remote controls and keypads for
arming the system, etc.
An alarm unit tamper protection
loop monitoring the alarm unit door
and wall tamper switches
An integrated intercom module for
carrying out audio and intercom
confirmation (use depending on
country)
A memory containing the log of the
last 500 events. The log can be
viewed locally on the installer’s laptop
or remotely by upload.
A Chime module. When a door or
window switch or motion detector is
triggered, the alarm unit outputs a
chime type audio signal. Radio
channels 1 and 12 are preset to this
mode.
Wireless Components
The alarm unit manages 32 wireless channels:
22 channels are allocated to the detectors, 5 to
the remote controls or keypads and 5 are used
for the SOS function.
The wireless components are stored by teach-
in. Each wireless component has a unique
factory-set code out of 16 million possible
combinations.
Battery level: Each detector monitors its built-
in battery and informs the alarm unit if the
battery is low.
Supervision: Once every hour, each detector
sends a test message to the alarm unit.
The alarm unit triggers an alert when it
receives a battery low message or the detector
has not sent a test message for four hours.
This alert may generate a call to the Remote
Supervisor identifying the origin of the alert and
may also activate the siren.
Programming Using the Installer
Overlay
The installer overlay of the alarm unit allows
simplified programming without requiring a
programming tool.
In this case, the installer carries out installation
based on the default factory settings (see
appendix), then completes or changes the
settings using the installer overlay.
The installer overlay provides the following
functions:
Store wireless components, detectors,
remote controls, keypads
Program the customer’s subscriber
number
Program the call center numbers
Set the time delays on entry and exit
Set the time of the alarm unit. Setting
the time allows the event log to be time
stamped and cyclic tests to be run.
