PCX SMS AND PCX 256 SYSTEM MANUAL
RINS871-3 Page: 39
NOTE: Whilst an ‘intruder’ alarm signal will be generated in the event of entry time expiring after a FINAL
EXIT input is activated, such inputs are NOT allowed to count towards a confirmed alarm. A sequentially
confirmed alarm can ONLY be signalled for activations of two inputs of the types listed above.
Operation
Normal operation of a ‘sequentially confirmed’ system requires the following signals to be sent to the Alarm
Receiving Centre:
Signals (PGMs) Description
Unconfirmed Any (0018) At first alarm
Confirmed Any (0006) At second valid alarm
Omit Rearm Any (0017)
In the event of an input being omitted at re-arm of
the system at the end of the confirmation time
Final Arm Any (0004) OR When system arms or disarms
Misoperation (0005)
When system is manually disarmed following an
alarm.
These output configurations are programmable as required (see page: 79). These are available on both
systems (“ANY”) – type number references as above – or per partition (“PARTITION”) as required.
Local responses of the system should be set up in the Alarm Responses menu, please see page: 74.Note
particularly the following options: Silent First Alarm and Disable Confirm On Entry.
The confirmation time should be set as required, noting that DD243:2004 specifies between 30 and 60
minutes.
