8 HouseControl User’s Manual version 4.8
lights start flashing so that it can be clearly seen that everything is not okay even from outside the house.
Only the L-model HouseControl comes with door magnets for monitoring doors.
Tamper Alarm
Tamper alarm is included in the L-model HouseControl only. If an intruder opens or breaks the security
keypad or a motion sensor, a tamper alarm is generated. HouseControl sends a text message, makes
an alarm phone call, and draws attention to the alarm through local alarm siren and yard lights
regardless of operating mode.
Perimeter Protection
Perimeter protection is not an operating mode in its own right but part of the disable mode functionality.
This is why you cannot see whether perimeter protection is on or off by looking at the signal lights on the
security keypad or the unit. Perimeter protection must be switched on or off from a separate switch. The
position of the switch is a quick indicator for whether perimeter protection is on or off.
In perimeter protection HouseControl changes the default behaviour of the alarm channel used for
monitoring front and back doors in such manner that monitoring is actually on even though HouseControl
itself is in disable mode. This is useful, for example, when you want to protect your home from
trespassers in the middle of the night when you and your family are sleeping inside the house. In short,
perimeter protection sets the control circuit with door magnets to be monitored 24 hours a day (see
Table 1).
You should remember to switch off perimeter protection before leaving your home so that no alarm is
generated when you open the front door. Should an alarm go on by accident, it can be cleared from the
security keypad (see 1.1.1).
1.2.3 Fire Alarm
HouseControl switches off electricity from your home in the case of fire should there be no people in the
house. Electrical fire may even go out if no for other reason than from the lack of electricity that kept the
fire going. The fire may also be extinguished by the lack of oxygen because air-conditioning is off.
However, you should always make sure your home is okay if you get a fire alarm message in your
mobile phone. Fire alarm should always be taken seriously.
On the other hand, if there are people in the house (monitoring is off) and fire breaks loose,
HouseControl will not switch off electricity because lights must work so that people can find their way out
of the house. The local alarm siren does not go on in this case either, only the smoke detectors’ own
alarm signals can be heard.
