4 OPERATING MODES
Unset This is when the panel is in day mode and is indicated by a green ‘Day’ LED on the front of the RKP.
Fire, Personal Attack and Tamper inputs remain permanently active.
Set When the panel is Set, an activation of any Access, Immediate or 24 hour zone will cause an alarm
condition. When an alarm is generated the internal and external sounders will operate for the length of
time programmed and the tone of the internal sounder will be two notes repeated rapidly. The strobe
lamp and internal sounder will also be activated and will continue to operate until the panel is reset.
At the time of setting the control panel, any one of four set modes can be selected. i.e.
Set A: Whole system set; nobody on premises.
Set B: Upstairs off, Downstairs set.
Set C: Upstairs set, Downstairs off.
Set D: Garage and kitchen off, remainder on.
The above are purely examples. The Engineer has the ability at the programming stage to
configure all the circuits to the customer's exact requirements.
5 ZONES
A zone is an area protected by the alarm and can be configured when programming the panel.
5.1 Programmable Zones
Entry / Exit This is a zone which is programmed as the main entry and exit of the premises. When the alarm is
set and this zone is triggered a preset count down starts. Any zones set as access will not trigger
an alarm, if other zones are entered before the panel is unset an alarm will be generated immediately.
Access This is a zone which allows access to and from the panel for a set timed countdown period. 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 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.
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.
24 Hour Zones Will cause an instant alarm when the panel is in day or set mode. Fire, Personal Attack and Tamper
are all 24 Hour Zones.
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.
Latched Keyswitch
May be programmed to set the System in any one of the set modes (specified set mode to be
programmed by the engineer).
Momentary Keyswitch
May be programmed to set the System in any one of the set modes (specified set mode to be
programmed by the engineer).
5.2 Dedicated Zones
Personal Attack Triggering of the Personal Attack 'PA' zone will always cause an alarm activation regardless of
whether or not the panel is set. The PA zone may be programmed as silent . A silent P.A.
activation will not cause the bell and strobe to operate but the Alarm Receiving Centre will be informed
of a P.A. activation.
NOTE: Communication equipment must be installed and an Alarm Receiving Centre Subscribed to for
the silent PA to operate.
Tamper The tamper zone may be programmed to give an internal only sounder or internal and external
sounder in day mode. In set mode both sounders will operate
