Programming Alarm Confirm
This section is used to program options that are relevant to BS8243. Before
programming these options please take time to read the following notes that will help
in your understanding of BS8243
All communications systems that require a Police URN will need to conform to
BS8243.
These notes intended as a guide only and should be read in conjunction with the
relevant standards relating to the alarm system giving particular attention to
EN50131-1and BS8243. These may be obtained from the British Standards Institute.
BS8243 options available are.
Confirm Time Window (default = 60)
This time window may be programmed between 1 and 120 minutes. To comply the
required time should be between 30 and 60 minutes.
Confirm on Entry (default = On)
This option may be programmed to On or Off. If Confirm on Entry = Off then
confirmed alarms to central station are disabled if the entry timer is started. If ACE or
G-Tag is used then it is permissible to set this option to On.
Sounder Mode (default = Unconfirmed)
This option controls the system speakers fitted, options are confirmed or un-
confirmed.
If Sounder Trigger = Confirmed then internal sounder will only trigger with a
confirmed alarm.
If Sounder Trigger = Unconfirmed then internal sounders will trigger with un-
confirmed alarms.
This feature is not mandatory for BS8243
Reset Mode (default = Any)
Choose from Any or Normal.
If Unconfirm = Any then any code can be used to reset an un-confirmed alarm.
If Unconfirm = Normal then the programmed reset mode for alarm will still be
required i.e. if alarm reset has been programmed as engineer and Unconfirm reset is
Normal then an engineer reset will be required for Un-confirmed alarms.
Confirm Secondary Time Window (default = 60 minutes)
This time window may be programmed between 1 and 120 minutes we would
suggest a time between 30 and 60 minutes but should typically be the same time as
the confirm time window. This option affects zones that have been allocated as
secondary zones only. For functionality please refer to Secondary Zones Below.
