Description

User Rights - Intruder

Fullset

Limited
Standard
Manager

The FULLSET operation fully sets the alarm system and provides full protection to a building (opening of any alarm zones activates the alarm).

On selecting FULLSET, the buzzer sounds and the keypad display counts down the exit time period. Exit the building before this time period has expired.

When the exit time period has expired, the system is set and opening of entry/exit zones starts the entry timer. If the system is not Unset before the entry timer expires, the alarm is activated.

Partset A

 

Standard
Manager

The PARTSET A option provides perimeter protection to a building while allowing free movement through the access areas.

Zones that have been classified as EXCLUDE A remain unprotected in this mode. By default, there is no exit time; the system sets instantly on selection of this mode. An exit timer can be applied to this mode by enabling the Partset A timed variable.

Partset B

 

Standard
Manager

The PARTSET B option applies protection to all zones except those that have been classified as EXCLUDE B.

By default there is no exit time; the system sets instantly on selection of this mode. An exit timer can be applied to this mode by enabling the Partset B timed variable.

Forceset

Standard Manager

The FORCESET option is presented on the keypad display when an attempt is made to set the system while an alarm zone is faulty or still open (the top line of the display shows the open zone).

Selecting this option sets the alarm and inhibits the zone for that set period.

Unset

Limited
Standard
Manager

The UNSET operation unsets the alarm. This menu option is only presented on the keypad after an Entry/Exit zone has been activated and a valid user code has been entered.

Delay Auto Set

Standard*
Manager

User can delay or cancel autosetting.

Bypass Delay

Standard
Manager

User can automatically override the Unset Delay. Only available for Financial installations. See Setting/Unsetting.

Restore

Standard
Manager

The RESTORE operation restores an alert condition on the system and clears the alert message associated with that alert condition.

An alert condition can only be cleared after the zone(s) or fault(s) that triggered the alert condition have been restored to their normal operating state and the CLEAR ALERT option in user programming is selected for that zone.

Inhibit

Standard
Manager

Inhibiting a zone deactivates that zone for one alarm set period.

This is the preferred method of deactivating a faulty or open zone as the fault or open condition is displayed on the keypad each time the system is being set to remind the user to attend to that zone.

Isolate

Standard*
Manager

Isolating a zone deactivates that zone until such time as the zone is de-isolated. All zone types on the controller can be isolated.

Use of this feature to deactivate faulty or open zones should be considered carefully; once a zone is isolated, it is ignored by the system and could be overlooked when setting the system in the future, compromising the security of the premises.
