82 Options and programming methods
Anti-intrusion control panels
TIMERS
A timer is a logical expression element (it may have an “active” or “non active” value).
It is characterized by an interval, therefore, you must specify an interval (in seconds)
for each timer you wish to include.
You can select up to four “Start events” (i.e. control panel events which trigger the
timer) and up to four “Reset events” (i.e. control panel events which interrupt the
timer). You can specify the “Edge” for each of the eight events, that is, the status
passage of the selected event (“Activation”, “Reset” or “Both”).
The last two options allow you to choose when the timer will be “active”:
• Timer active on Start event. The timer will become “active” on start, that is, when
a start event occurs, and will remain “active” for the sat time. The timer will become
“non active” when the set time expires or when a reset event occurs.
• Timer active with delay. The timer will remain “non active” on start, that is, when
a start event occurs and will remain “non active” for the specified time. The timer
will become “active” when the specified time expires.
Note
A timer with the “timer active with delay” option enabled will remain “active” until a reset event
makes it “non active” again.
COUNTERS
A counter is a logical expression element. It is characterized by an increasing value
(“Count”). The counter will have a “non active” value until it reaches the set value,
which will take the counter to the “active” value.
You can select up to four “Start events” (i.e. control panel events which increase the
counter value) and up to four “Reset events” (i.e. control panel events which annul the
counter). You can specify the “Edge” for each of the eight events, that is, the status
passage of the selected event (“Activation”, “Reset” or “Both”).
It is necessary to define an “Autoreset” time that will zero the count when, between two
successive increases, a superior time elapses. If you do not desire an “Autoreset” time,
you must set the time at “65535” (already set at default), in order to ensure that the
count never expires.
Note
You should not set an “Autoreset” value of less than 5 seconds.
Once the event programming process is complete and the event is sent to the control
panel, the event programming values will be checked for errors.
EXAMPLES
If you wish to generate an alarm (i.e. activate sounderflashers and dialer calls) when only two
PIRs (DET1 and DET2) go into alarm status within a pre-set time.
• T0000; timer 1 will activate when the “Zone alarm DET1” Start event activates for 30 seconds
• T0001; timer 2 will activate when the “Zone alarm DET2” Start event activates for 30 seconds
• Both conditions must occur together (AND)
T0000 AND T0001
• You must set the activation of the sounderflasher and dialer calls on a similarly-configured 
programmable event.
• If the programmable event activates an on-BUS sounderflasher, associate its deactivation with an 
event.
If you wish to activate an output for 40 seconds when key 17 is used to arm partition 1, and to
disarm and the same output when the partition disarms.
• T0000; associate timer 1 with the activation of the Start event of key 17 recognition
• T0000; timer 1 with a 40 second timeout, “timer active with delay” option enabled
• T0000; associate timer 1 with the restoral of the reset event of partition 1
• Programmable event 1 must be programmed as:
T0000
• Select the output you wish to activate in concurrence with the programmable event
• If the programmable event activates an on-BUS sounderflasher, associate its deactivation with an 
event.
If you wish to receive a telephone call when a zone q, which belongs to partitions 1 and 2, is
violated and one of the two partitions is armed
The automation zone q always generates the zone alarm event (even when the partitions are
disarmed). However, the programmable event will occur only when the zone q is in alarm status
and at least one of the two partitions is armed.
• Configure zone q as “automation” belonging to partitions 1 and 2
• Remove all the outputs and phone calls associated with the “Alarm zone q” event
• The programmable event must be programmed as “Alarm zone q” AND (“Partition 1 armed in away 
mode” OR “Partition 2 armed in away mode”):
E0010 AND ( E0790 OR E0791 )
• Associate the programmable event with the telephone call you wish to receive
If you wish to activate a telephone call after 3 consecutive wrong code entries (with a maximum
of 120 seconds between each entry).
• C0000; counter 1 will activate on activation of the “False code” Start event, with a count of 3, 120 
second autoreset time
• The programmable event must be programmed as:
C0000
• Associate the programmable event with the telephone call you wish to receive
