The Challenger Version 8.0 User Guide : Issue I , Revision I : October 1997
System Alarm:
The state of a security system when a Challenger device (Challenger panel, Data gathering panel or Remote arming station)
is tampered, stops communicating or detects a fault condition such as mains fail, low battery, fuse fail etc.
The alarm signal (siren, flashing light etc) will depend on the system programming.
e.g. Alarm equipment interfered with or covers removed. (DGP Tamper)
Communications cabling interfered with - cut or shorted. (DGP Fail, RAS Fail)
Connections to siren speaker/s interfered with - cut or shorted. (Siren Fail)
Telephone line interfered with - cut, shorted or damaged. (Report Fail)
Power supply interruption and/or overload and Battery problems. (Mains Fail, Fuse Fail, Low Battery)
Your system may be programmed to respond to System Alarms in one of two ways:
1) Latching System Alarms.
A valid PIN code that is authorized to reset system alarms must be entered to reset a system alarm.
The procedure to identify and reset latching system alarms is the same as the procedure described for
"Alarms".
2) Non - Latching System Alarms.
The system alarm will reset automatically as soon as the condition causing the alarm has been rectified.
The procedure to identify the system alarm details is the same as the procedure described to Identify
Alarms.
Notes: 1. If the alarm conditions are no longer valid (problem rectified), and the alarm has been reset, it is
important that you contact your monitoring company to ensure that no further action is taken by them.
2. If you are unable to reset a system alarm because the conditions require the service tech to attend
etc, refer to the section on Isolate/Deisolate RAS/DGP - Menu Option 16.
3. If you reset an alarm before determining it’s cause, you may use the function Quick AlarmHistory
to check system alarm details.
4. You can only reset a system alarm if your alarm group authorizes you to do so.
