Anti-intrusion control panels
A group of operating parameters set at the factory by the manufacturer. The purpose of
these settings is to reduce the work of the installer during the installation phase.
The installer can restore the system to “Default Settings” if necessary.
DEFAULT SETTINGS
Violation of a zone with this configuration will not generate an alarm but will trigger the
associated Timer (Entry time). If the user does not disarm the partition/s within the set
“Entry time”, the system will generate an alarm.
For example, the zone that monitors the main door of a building is usually configured as a
Delayed Entry Zone, in order to give building occupants time to enter the building and
disarm the partition without generating an alarm.
DELAYED ENTRY ZONE
Violation of a zone with this configuration will not generate an alarm but will trigger the
associated Timer (refer to Exit time).
For example, the zone that monitors the main door of a residence or building is usually
configured as a delayed exit zone, in order to give occupants time to leave the partition after
an arming operation. If the user does not leave the zone within the set “Exit time”, the
system will generate an alarm.
DELAYED EXIT ZONE
This is an explicit user-command which ends signalling on the red and yellow LEDs on
keypad and readers for the following events:
•Zone Alarm
• terminal tamper
• open panel or dislodged panel
•peripheral tamper
• peripheral loss
•false key
• ongoing fault
• memory fault
If a user deletes the alarm/tamper memory, the visual signals on the reader/keypad LEDs
will clear.
If the settings for norm. 50131 compliance are active, the keypads may, in addition, require
entry of a level 3 access code code (installer code) for the deletion of fault memories.
DELETE ALARM/
TAMPER/FAULT
MEMORY
This device allows the control panel to send report calls to Alarm Receiving centres (ARC).
Prime control panels provide a built-in digital dialer.
DIGITAL DIALER
Operating mode of specific terminals configured as “outputs” which, when the respective
option is selected, allows adjustment of the power supply to the connected load (for
example a lamp) during certain events.
DIMMER
The time (expressed in minutes or seconds) that the system allows the user to disarm the
partition after zone violation. It the system is not disarmed within the set time it will
generate an alarm.
Each partition can be programmed with its own Entry time.
ENTRY TIME
(OR ENTRY DELAY)
An operative status recognized by the system.
For example: detector alarm, mains failure (230V
~), blown fuse, user-code recognition, etc.,
are all events recognized by the control panel.
Each event is associated with an activation event (when the event occurs) and a restoral
event (when the event ends).
Each event can be programmed to generate the following actions:
• activation of one or more outputs
• activation of an output scenario
• transmission of one or more e-mails
• send one or more SMS messages
• activation of one or more voice calls
• activation of one or more digital calls
• activation of shortcut functions
EVENT
This is the non-volatile portion of the memory the panels saves events to. The events are
saved in chronological order with the following details:
• event description - with details regarding new events and restorals
• information regarding the user or the cause of event
• event location
• event date and time
The events log can be viewed by the system users and the installer.
Partition events (zone alarms, partition alarms, arm/disarm operations, recognized codes
and keys, etc.) can be viewed by users with at least one partition in common with the event
element.
•• For example, if a user arms several partitions from a keypad, the events log will
show:
• description of the event - “Arm request”
• description of the code and partitions involved
• description (label) of the keypad involved
• date and time of the request
EVENTS LOG
(OR EVENTS MEMORY)
A short period (expressed in minutes or seconds) during which the user must disarm the
partition after violation (for example, after opening the front door) otherwise the system will
generate an alarm.
Each partition can be programmed with its own Exit time.
EXIT TIME
(OR EXIT DELAY)
These boards can be used to increase the number of terminals (zones or outputs) and/or the
size of the system (in order to extend it over a larger area). Expansion boards can be
connected to the system via the I-BUS.
