3GS Technical Manual
Issue 4.5 August 2005
Programming Menus 8-99
Additional Information
An automatic time command is a programmed command string which instructs the 3GS to execute a function at a pre-set time.
For example, the system could be instructed to automatically FULL set at 18:00. Modification of these commands is normally
performed using the Literal Edit function and should only be undertaken by experienced installers. This mode is a simplified time
command edit function which allows the user to modify the TIME at which the action will occur without allowing alteration of
the command. The new time must be valid (24 hour format) or the procedure will not continue. After adjustment is made, the
ENTER key should be pressed to program the new time into the system.
Use the UNSET and PART keys to move backwards and forwards through the time strings.
Note Setting a time command to 24:00hr disables it.
SUNDAY HOUR
Checks for hour change on Sundays.
LOG DUMP
Sets dial out variable for system to dial a remote PC/Printer.
AREA 1 10M WARN to AREA 30 10M WARN
Automatic arming commands for Areas 1 to 30.
These commands (one for each block) start a 10 minute warning time (to inform people that they must leave the building), after
which time the relevant area will arm. Half way through the 10 minute warning time, the keypad buzzer pattern will change to
indicate 5 minutes left. At the end of this time, the area will set/arm automatically.
The standard Automatic Set time command can be cancelled by unsetting/disarming the area within this 10 minute warning
time.
BATTERY TEST
This command sets a time (1 per day) at which an automatic battery test will be carried out. Class IV systems support a battery
fault within 10 seconds irrespective of the 3GS system mode.
Memory Test (All systems software above 3GS Ver 5.81 )
This command sets the hourly time (1 per day) when an automatic memory test is carried out.
FULL SET 10M WARN
Automatic arming command for the full system. Works in the same way as the Area 10 minute warning but in this case the full
system will arm.
Late Working Time Commands
These commands allow for late working on the premises. They will arm the system/area if the first arming time command is
cancelled. These are:
• L.W. AREA1 WARN to L.W. AREA30 WARN
• L.W. FULL SET WARN
For example, AREA1 10M WARN may be set/armed to 7pm and the L.W. AREA1 WARN set/armed to 9pm. Normally the first
time command would arm the area 1 at 7pm. However, if the user cancels the first time command so that they may work late,
then the first time command is ignored and the system will be armed by the second time command at 9pm.
Late working time commands should only be used for areas that have to be set/armed by a certain time.
SIA TEST CALL
Sets a time at which the DM1200 will send SIA messages to the Central Station receiver to ensure line integrity.
