11.0 Compliance Information
The SmartCom device is classified as a store and forward device according to the
EN50136 suite of standards in monitor managed mode. Any other mode of
operation in managed mode is not covered by the certification.
Refer to the specification section for detailed information about SP compatability
level
Alarm Transmission Path (ATP) Failures for this Single Path device are detected at
the panel and at the ARC. To ensure a compliant setup the ARC software should
be configured to look for poll messages from the SPT (Product tested for
compliance using Montex and Texbase). Poll messages are regularly sent between
the panel and the ARC (this is configurable in the panel and the ARC, but the ARC
setting will overrider the panel configuration). Should a poll message be missed
this will signify that the ATP has failed at the ARC. The AS will monitor poll
message ACK's sent to the ARC, should ACK's not be returned this will signal an
ATP fail at the panel.
Monitoring of the transmission network is done through analysis at the ARC. This
uses the same principal as previously described for ATP failures with time between
polls and ACk's being used for timing analysis.
The Smartcom product does not support multiple units being connected to the
same alarm panel. Due to this we do not claim compliance to EN50136-1,
Redundancy / Duplication (6.7.2).
Compliance against EN5136-1 ATS Unavaliability (6.7.3) is outside of the scope of
this product and should be calcualted at the ARC.
11.1 Availability monitoring
Texecom monitors the availability of the managed mode system by using
analytical tools to determine its Compliance to EN50136-1 Table 3 for the
appropriate category.
We monitor each alarm system (panel/Smartcom) via its polling method and
