• Numerical keys serve as function keys: When the system is disarmed, the numerical keys are used also to
control various system functions. A simple icon on each key identifies the task of that key.
• Data retrieval: You can obtain status information, trouble information and review memorized alarm events
visually. (See Chapter 3).
• Event log: System events are memorized in an event log that stores the most recent 1000 events, each
tagged with the time and date of the event. You can access this log and review the past events in case of
need such as after a burglary. (See Chapter 10. Maintenance).
• Looking after elderly, physically handicapped and infirm individuals: The system can be programmed to
monitor people activity within the protected area and send out an alert message if no movement is detected in
the area for a predefined period of time (See Chapter 6. Menus and Functions).
• Distress calls: Miniature pushbutton portable transmitters given to specific individuals may be used for
sending emergency calls for help.
• Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly compelled to disarm the system, he can do so using a special
code ("Duress Code") that disarms the system as usual, but also sends a silent alarm to the monitoring station
(see Chapter 2. Operating the PowerMaster System).
• System supervision: All wireless peripherals within the protected site send periodic keep alive supervision
messages. If such a message is overdue, the PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 displays a 'missing' trouble
message. Your installer can disable this feature if so desired.
• Battery supervision: The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 continuously monitors the battery condition of
the sensors and devices in the system and displays a ‘Low Battery’ message whenever a battery needs to be
replaced within a maximum of 30 days. Wireless sirens can still provide 2 siren alarms before the siren
becomes totally inactive.
