CONTROL PANEL
The DUAL 824P Control Panel is the heart of the system.
It monitors all of the system's wireless sensors, hardwired
loops, and controls the alarm sirens and Model DUAL 824KP
hardwired keypads.
The Control Panel constantly monitors the condition of the
system's sensors and hardwired contacts, displaying which
protected doors and windows are open or closed. If an
alarm occurs, the keypads display which sensor(s) caused
it. When a sensor has a low battery, the keypads display
which sensor needs a new battery. Sensors that send hourly
status transmissions keep the Control Panel informed of their
operating condition.
Up to eight different custom user codes can be used to
operate the system. For security, a user code must be
entered to disarm (turn off) the system. The system can be
armed (turned on) by entering a user code, or with the unique
“Quick Arm” feature. The fi ve restricted user codes and the
special page alert user code can only arm and disarm the
system, no programming changes (except changing user
and duress codes) are allowed. The master user code is
allowed to program the Control Panel, and a duress code
can be selected for emergency disarming of the system with
a duress report to the Central Station. The page alert user
code can dial a pager number to inform the pager wearer
when the system is disarmed.
The Control Panel's memory will retain the user codes and
all of the system's programming, even during a total power
loss. An optional backup battery can be installed to power the
system during short power failures.
The built-in digital communicator connects the Control Panel
to a Central Alarm Monitoring Station through the telephone.
With a monitored system, the central station can dispatch
authorities in case of burglary, fi re or other emergency. The
central station can also call family, friends, neighbors, or
anyone else designated on a custom call list. System arming
(closing) and disarming (opening) reports by user can also
be sent.
Each sensor can report directly to the Central Station using
the digital communicator's Point ID feature. If a sensor triggers
an alarm or experiences supervisory trouble, a unique report
code can be sent for immediate identifi cation of the event. The optional Model VB-2 digital voice response module can
be installed in the Control Panel. The VB-2 module provides
three exciting features: 2-way audio monitoring capability at
the Central Station through the communicator, local voice
prompts from the keypad's speaker (with Model RSM-2
speaker/microphone kit installed), and voice prompted
remote system control using in-house or off-site pushbutton
telephones.
The system has 24-hour capabilities that are always ready
to operate, even when the system is disarmed. They can be
triggered by buttons on the hardwired keypads, a wireless
keypad, portable remote controls, carbon monoxide detectors,
and smoke detectors. Pressing the EMERGENCY or FIRE button
for two seconds will cause an immediate siren and call the
central station. IMPORTANT: For personal emergency use
only. Not for use as a UL Listed Medical Alert System.
The Control Panel's Environmental feature is active 24-hours
and can be triggered with sensors connected to devices such
as water fl ow detectors, over/under temperature sensors, fl ood
sensors, etc. The Environmental feature activates the chime
annunciator without sounding the siren. The Environmental
feature does not send communicator reports.
An Automation Output in the Control Panel provides an
easy way to connect external devices to the Control Panel.
The output is fully programmable to activate on a variety
of conditions, such as when the system is armed, during
alarms, and during exit/entry delays. The Automation Output
can connect to lighting control modules, relays, noisemakers,
and indicators. The Control Panel's and wireless keypad's
key and any system sensors can control the Automation
Output.
The Control Panel can be programmed locally using its own
keypad or remotely, over the telephone, using Linear's Model
RA-2400 Remote Access software program. The RA-2400
upload/download program is a Windows
™ application that
runs on a personal computer and communicates with the
Control Panel through a modem, connected directly to the
panel, or through the telephone line.
