“interim control” – remote or manual control; “combined control” – remote or manual
control, but with option to manually block the remote control).

8.1.4 Specific character of the operation of wireless devices
When programming the alarm system zones and outputs to which the wireless devices are
assigned, you must take into account the specific character of operation of individual devices.
8.1.4.1 Wireless detectors
The zone to which a wireless detector is assigned is activated when the detector reports
alarm (select the appropriate zone type). If a detector tamper is to generate the tamper
alarm, program the zone as 2EOL/NC or 2EOL/NO.
Operation of the detector is affected by the state of partition to which the zone belongs:
partition disarmed – the detector operates in passive mode. This operating mode prolongs
the battery life. Detector informs the controller about its status during periodical
communication (only the tamper information is sent immediately).
partition armed – the detector operates in active mode. Detector informs the controller
about alarm or tamper immediately.
Switching the detector from passive mode to active and vice versa takes place during
periodical communication. It results in a delay whose duration depends on the frequency of
periodical communication (with the “ECO” option enabled, delay can be up to 3 minutes).
Detectors assigned to the zones that are always armed are permanently in the active mode.
For most detectors, you can enable the “Always active” option.
According to the EN 50131-3 standard all ABAX 2 system Hold-Up devices must be
always in active mode.
The battery life time in the detectors switched permanently into the active mode is
shorter than in those which are periodically switched to the passive mode. However,
if the specific character of a detector or its installation place is such that the number of
alarms is low, switching the detector permanently into the active mode will not have
a significant effect on the battery life.
8.1.4.2 Wireless sirens
Turning on the output to which the wireless siren is assigned will trigger the signaling.
Depending on the siren:
ASP-200 – the first output controls the acoustic signaling, the second – the optical signaling.
Thanks to a high-capacity battery, the siren can receive transmissions from the controller
at any time. Therefore, the commands to start/stop signaling are sent to the siren
immediately.
ASP-215 – both outputs can control the acoustic and optical signaling. This enables two
different, independently triggered types of signaling to be configured. The outputs can
control separately the acoustic and optical signaling or trigger other signaling for different
alarms (e.g. burglary and fire). Given its low-capacity battery, the siren can receive
transmissions from the controller during periodical communication only. Therefore,
the commands to start/stop signaling are sent to the siren during periodical
communication. Consequently, the operating time of outputs controlling the siren should
be longer than the communication period.
The signaling will stop after the maximum signaling time expires, even if the output is still
active.
