READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA
DE5468U 17
5. Reading Alarm Memory And Trouble Data
Reviewing Alarm/Tamper Memory
The PowerMax Pro retains in its memory alarm and
“tamper” events that occurred during the last arming period.
For PowerMax Pro 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).
Note: Alarms enter the memory only after expiry of the
“abort period” (see Appendix A). 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 MEM
message will be displayed, as exemplified:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY MEMORY
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
NOT READY HH:MM
(alternating)
NOT READY MEMORY
B. Investigating Alarm/Tamper Data
To review memory content, click button.
EXAMPLE 1
: An alarm was triggered because the
garage door - zone No. 12 – was opened but then
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 the
button, the display shows details of
other events retained in open tamper (if any), or
reverts to its initial state (see A above).
EXAMPLE 2
: An alarm was triggered because the
garage door - zone No. 12 – was opened and remained
open.
PRESS

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.
For PowerMax Pro that includes partition feature:
The LCD will display the specific partition(s) along with
the specific zone number(s) of the location of the
trouble indication. The trouble types are as follows:
SENSOR 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.
• X-10 trouble - An activation command was sent to
a two-way X-10 unit but the command
implementation confirmation (acknowledgement)
was not received.
• AC failure – There is no power to gas sensor
GSM TROUBLES (if used)
• GSM AC failure - No power to GSM unit.
• GSM low battery - GSM battery voltage is low.
• GSM tamper- Someone tampered with the GSM unit.
• GSM line fail - GSM telephone line failure.
• GSM net fail - GSM network failure.
• RSSI low - The GSM received signal strength is low.
• GSM modem off - The GSM unit does not operate.
• GSM communication fail - There is no
communication (RS-232 format) between
PowerMax Pro and GSM unit.
