Installation and User Manual ADPRO Presidium by Xtralis

• Execute tests in each detection area based on the type of intrusion, and where possible
differing environmental conditions, e.g. day/night/dusk/dawn. Ensure that the alarm
activation is reported as expected at the Presidium system, and also that any third party
system triggered from the Presidium system receives an alarm notification.
• If the system is installed in a high security installation, then tests with different types of
camouflaged clothing should also be performed.
Soak Tests
Once the system has been installed and the detection tests performed, then the system must be
monitored for its performance in relation to the ambient environment. Changes in environmental
conditions, or just routine actions can produce nuisance alarms. The system should be
monitored on a daily basis prior to going 'live' to highlight issues of concern, and then adjust the
Presidium parameters as required. Every time detection parameters are modified, detection tests
should be performed again to ensure the detection performance has not been compromised.
Once the performance of the soak tests has reached an acceptable level, and the detection
performance is as required, the system can go 'live'.
2.7.3 System Tests
Typically Presidium is an element of a larger system. The integration and performance of
Presidium as a system component must be verified to ensure the complete system behaves as
required and expected. There are a number of areas to check:
• For remote monitoring, ensure that generated alarms are successfully transmitted to the
Central Monitoring Station.
• If functions such as Access/Secure are being used within Presidium, test that the behaviour
meets expectation and the system generates alarms when it is armed.
• If the Presidium is integrated into a larger matrix or CCTV system, ensure that any inputs/
outputs to/from the larger CCTV system function as expected.
2.7.4 Recording System Configuration
Once all the Presidium channels have been configured, the configuration details should be
saved. Selecting the Save to File button on the Presidium Setup screen will cause all settings
currently within the software to be saved to the PC (a confirmation box will be presented to verify
the required action).
This enables the complete configuration to be saved. This may then be reloaded in the case of a
system malfunction or used to configure another system.
The configuration is saved as a .settings file in a user defined location on the PC.
Selecting the Load from File button enables the saved configuration to be uploaded to the
connected Presidium.
