5 ZONES
5.1 Engineer Programmable Zones
Entry / Exit This is a zone which allows limited-time access to the premises in order to set or unset the system.
Access This is a zone which, on setting the panel, allows access to the Entry / Exit zone. However, if the panel
is set and an Access zone is triggered before an Entry / Exit zone then an alarm will be generated
immediately.
Immediate This is a zone which will, when entered, create an instant alarm when the panel is set.
Omit If a zone is programmed as an Omitted zone by the Engineer, then it is ignored by the panel. It
allows the user to continue to use the alarm system even if a fault has been discovered on one or
more zones.
Personal Attack Triggering of the Personal Attack (P.A.) zone will always cause a full alarm activation regardless of
whether or not the panel is set. The P.A. zone may be programmed as silent. A silent P.A. activation
will not cause the bell and strobe to operate but the central station will be informed of a P.A.
activation and the digital communicator output will operate, if the system has been programmed to do
so.
Tamper The tamper zone may be programmed to give an internal siren or internal and external sounder, in
unset mode. In set mode both sounders will operate.
Fire Triggering of the fire zone will activate internal and external sounders. A fire alarm is identified by
a three note rising sound, which is easily distinguished from all other tones. The external sounder will
operate at 1 second intervals.
NOTE: The Fire Zone is intended as an extra feature to the intruder alarm system and must not
be regarded as a total fire protection system.
24-Hour Zone Will cause an instant alarm when the panel is in day or set mode. (Fire, Personal Attack and Tamper
are all 24 hour zones).
Latched Keyswitch May be programmed to set / unset the system in any one set mode
Momentary Keyswitch May be programmed to set / unset the system in any one set mode.
6 DIAL OUT REPORTING
The Atlas has the capability to send messages of alarm status to a Central Receiving Station. Every time the alarm
status changes i.e. Alarm Set/Unset, System Fault or Alarm Actuation a message is sent to the Alarm Receiving Centre
informing it of the status change. This is called Dial Out Reporting. Dial Out Reporting can be configured to Group
Reporting which allows different alarm status changes to be reported to two different locations, 4 groups are available:
Group 1 - Alarms
Group 2 - Set/Unset
Group 3 - Maintenance
Group 4 - 24 Hour call test / 7 day
This gives the engineer the ability to configure the system to only report condition changes to relevant locations.
i.e. one location could be informed of all status changes (Groups 1 to 4) while a second location could only be informed of
Group 1 conditions.
Confirmed Alarm: This is an extra code, which is set upon two different zones being activated in one set period. It is
used to signal that the alarm condition is less likely to be a false alarm.
