Challenger10 Administrators Manual 5
Figure 2: Default LCD welcome screen
There Are No Alarms In This Area
Code:
The welcome screen indicates that the Challenger system is ready to receive
commands. The top line is a configurable custom message, such as the default
time and date, or other text, such as the company name.
Note: Images of LCD screens used in this manual are for illustration only and
may not match actual RAS LCD screens.
In some instances there is insufficient space to display all the text being
presented (for example, a list of areas in your building). LCD RASs that have
small displays (16-characters LCD screens) scroll longer strings of text in order
to display entire messages. This scrolling is referred to as ‘rotation’. When a long
message displays, the text rotation begins after a configurable delay, and scrolls
at a configurable speed (this functionality is not applicable to TS0004 or TS0210
LCD RASs).
The bottom line displays “Code” to indicate that the Challenger system is ready
to accept a user’s personal identification number (PIN), also called a code. The
bottom line may also display instructions and the characters you enter on the
keypad (except for PINs, which are shown as ‘*’ characters).
Area LEDs
RASs have up to 16 area LEDs that can be used to indicate the state of the
system’s 99 areas. Areas 1 to 16 are mapped to the RAS’s area LEDs by default,
but can be reassigned by the installer as needed.
When the CA111x RAS cover is open or removed, 16 LEDs are visible at the
bottom of the RAS. Each LED represents an area, and the indications are as
follows:
• The LED illuminates when its corresponding area is armed (secure).
• The LED flashes slowly when a fault is detected, or when an alarm occurs, in
disarm (access).
• The LED flashes quickly when a fault is detected, or when an alarm occurs, in
arm (secure).
CA111x status LEDs
CA111x RASs have four status LEDs above the LCD screen. The indications are
as follows:
• Power—illuminates when the RAS is powered.
• Fault—flashes when there is a system fault (i.e. comms fault, RAS fault, DGP
fault, battery test fail, or hardware tamper).
