QUICK SET
The system may be fully armed in 5 seconds using the
quick set facility, overriding the programmed exit-delay.
This is useful for setting the system at night when the
exit-delay warning beep will be silenced after just a few
seconds.
ZONE LOCKOUT
If a detector on an active zone is triggered while the
system is armed, an alarm condition will occur. After
the programmed alarm duration has expired, the alarm
will stop. If a single zone initiates an alarm condition
more than three times then that zone will be ‘Locked
Out’ and any further alarm signals from that zone will be
ignored until the system is disarmed.
Note: The ‘Zone Lockout’ feature can be disabled if
required.
EVENT LOG
The Smart Home Box incorporates a memory capable
of storing the last 100 system events. This enables
the user to see which user has Armed/Disarmed the
system and if and when any alarms occurred. The
time, date and details of the event type will be recorded
for each system event.
CHIME
Chime is a low security facility for use when the zone is
disarmed. If the Chime feature is ON, and a detector
on a zone that has its Chime function enabled is
triggered, the internal sounder will produce a low
volume warning tone. A typical use of the Chime
function would be to warn that a door or particular area
has been accessed.
VOICE DIALER
If the Voice Dialer is enabled and an alarm condition
occurs, the system will call for help using your recorded
alarm messages and up to ten telephone numbers.
When an alarm condition occurs, the telephone voice
dialer (if enabled) will call the first enabled number in
the calling sequence and replay the recorded alarm
messages for the configured ‘Play Time’. The recipient
must acknowledge the message by pressing the
button on their telephone keypad. If the call is
unanswered or an acknowledgment is not received
then the next active number in the dialing sequence will
be called. The dialer will continue calling each
number in turn until either all numbers in the sequence
have been dialed the set number of times or the
sequence is cancelled/acknowledged by the recipient.
DIGITAL DIALER
As an alternative to the Voice dialer the system may be
configured to interface with a central monitoring station.
LATCH KEY
When the system is disarmed the Latch-Key facility, if
enabled, will call the first latchkey phone number
among 10 phone number and replay the user message
(recorded under user setup) for the set ‘Play Time’.
The recipient must acknowledge the message by
pressing button on the telephone keypad.
The voice dialer will continue calling the first latchkey
phone number until it has been dialed the set number
of times when the following conditions occur:
1. The call is answered but the recipient does not press
on the telephone keypad for acknowledgement.
2. The call is unanswered or an acknowledgement is
not received.
For example, the latchkey facility is useful to inform
parents that a child has returned from school and
disarmed the system.
REMOTE SYSTEM CONTROL
It is possible to dial into the system via the connected
telephone line to interrogate the system status and to
have basic control over the system, (e.g. to Arm and
Disarm the system). You may also activate the
microphone on the Smart Home Box to Listen-In to
what is happening in the protected property.
TAMPER PROTECTION
All system devices (except the Remote Control Units)
incorporate Tamper protection features to protect
against unauthorized attempts to interfere with the
device. Any attempt to remove the battery covers from
any device (except the Remote Control) or to remove
the Smart Home Box from the wall will initiate an alarm
condition (unless the system is in Test or Programming
modes), even if the system is Disarmed.
JAMMING DETECTION
In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the radio
channel used by your alarm system, a special jamming
detection function is incorporated into the Smart Home
Box and Solar Siren. If this feature is enabled, and the
radio channel is jammed continuously for 90 seconds,
when the system is armed, the Solar Siren will emit a
pre-alarm series of rapid bleeps for 3 seconds. If the
jamming continues for a further 30 seconds or more a
full alarm condition will occur. In addition if the system
is jammed for more than three periods of 30 seconds in
