6. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
6.1 Looking after People Left at Home
An important characteristic of the PowerMax+ is its ability
to function in a mode contrary to the usual behavior of an
alarm system. When the system is in the disarmed state
(or even when armed “HOME” with perimeter protection
only), it can keep track of in-house activity and will report
lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of
motion within predetermined time limits.
To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer to
program a specific time limit beyond which lack of motion
will be reported as a “not active” alert.
To make things clear, let us assume that an elderly, sick or
handicapped person is left unattended in a protected site.
This person, disabled or sick as he may be, will not stay
entirely still for hours. It is only natural that even while
being asleep he will turn over in his bed from time to time.
He might also wander into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to
the bathroom for other necessities. Upon doing so, the
bedroom, bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will
detect his movement.
If, for example, the “lack of motion” time limit is set by your
installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will carry out a 6-
hour “countdown”.
If motion is detected
within the 6-hour time frame, the
countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual 6-hour
clock will be “reset”) and no alert message will be sent out.
If no motion is detected
within the 6-hour time frame in any
interior zone, the control panel will send a “not-active
alert message to the central monitoring station or to private
telephones designated by the installer.
IMPORTANT! In addition, you may provide the person
confined to interiors with a single-button transmitter for
distress situations - see Para. 6.2.
6.2 Emergency Calls for Help
(not to be used in UL-listed systems)
Suppose the disabled person discussed in Para. 6.1 above
has an accident such as falling in the bathtub without being
able to get up. It might take hours before the “No Active”
alert is sent out, but he (or she) must be assisted much
sooner.
Even though the odds for such an accident are not high, it
is advisable to provide the disabled person with a
miniature, single-button pendant-type or wristwatch-type
transmitter. Pressing the button on this transmitter will
cause the PowerMax+ to send an “emergency call” to the
central monitoring station or to private telephones
designated by the installer.
To make this possible, ask your installer to define one of
the 28 zones of the PowerMax+ as an emergency zone.
Then, obtain one of the transmitters listed below and link
this transmitter’s ID code to the emergency zone.
Compatible distress transmitters are (see Fig. 5):
MCT-201 - pendant-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-211 - wristwatch-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-101 - pocket-type (not listed by UL)

A. Establishing Telephone Communication
You can access the PowerMax+ system from a remote
telephone and perform arming and disarming, activation
and deactivation of electrical devices and the auxiliary
output (PGM), record, playback and erase a voice
message, and investigate the system status. The process
is shown in the next illustration.
1. Dial the PowerMax+ tel. No.
2. Wait for 2-4 rings then hang up.
3. Wait 12-30 sec.
4. Redial PowerMax+ tel. No.
(Sound will be heard for 10
sec.)
Not applicable
when dialing to the
GSM number of the
PowerMax+.
Proceed to step 5.

Notes
(1) The PowerMax+ responds in a similar way if you just
dial once and wait until you hear telephone rings (in
USA, for example, 11 rings).
(2) Entering of user code is required once only.
(3) If you wait more that 50 seconds without keying a
command, the PowerMax+ will disconnect the line.

The system will start to function in the "LISTEN IN" mode,
letting you hear the sounds within your residence for 50
seconds. If the person under surveillance happens to
speak or cry then, you will hear this. You can switch the
system to Listen-In, Speak Out or Full Duplex, as shown
in the next table.
