READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA
16 D-302755 PowerMaxComplete User's Guide
5. Reading Alarm Memory And Trouble Data
Reviewing Alarm/Tamper Memory
The PowerMaxComplete retains in its memory alarm
and “tamper” events that occurred during the last
arming period.
For PowerMaxComplete that includes partition
option: In order to review alarm and tamper events
of a specific partition, you need to select the desired
partition(s), (please refer to Partition Selection
Process in Chapter 2).
Note: Alarms enter the memory only after expiry of the
“abort period” (see APPENDIX B). This means that if
you disarm the system immediately - before the abort
period expires - there will be no memory indication.
A. Alarm / Tamper Indications
When the memory contains at least one event and
the system is in the disarmed state, a flashing
MEMORY message will be displayed as exemplified:
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
B. Investigating Alarm/Tamper Data
To review memory content, click the
button.
EXAMPLE 1: An alarm was triggered because the
garage door - zone No. 12 - opened but then re-
closed. In addition, the bedroom motion detector -
zone No. 7 - sent a “Tamper” message because its
cover had been removed.
In response to additional clicking of
button, the display shows details of other events
retained in memory (if any), or reverts to its initial
state (see A above).
EXAMPLE 2: An alarm was triggered because the
garage door - zone No. 12 - opened and was left
open.
Remember! The memory indication and content are
cleared upon the next arming of the system.
Reviewing Trouble Information
A. Trouble Indications
If TRBL flashes in the display, the TROUBLE
indicator illuminates, and 3 beeps are sounded once
per minute, you will have to investigate the system in
order to find out the origin and type of trouble.
The LCD will display the device number(s) of the
trouble indication. The trouble types are as follows:
SENSOR / KEYFOB / WIRELESS COMMANDER
TROUBLES
Inactivity - No radio signals have been received
from a particular sensor / wireless commander (if
its supervision feature has been enabled) during a
pre-defined period.
Low battery - The battery in a sensor, keyfob or
wireless commander is near the end of its useful life.
"Clean me" - The fire detector must be cleaned.
Gas trouble - Gas detector failure.
Siren AC failure - There is no power to the siren.
GSM TROUBLES (if used)
GSM line fail - GSM telephone line failure.
GSM net fail - GSM network failure.
RSSI low - The GSM received signal strength is low.
GSM communication fail - There is no
communication (RS-232 format) between
PowerMaxComplete and GSM unit.
SYSTEM TROUBLES
SYSTEM TROUBLES indicate the state of the entire
system and not a specific partition.
