Abort Delay; Learning New Devices - Ness Security Products Securityguard III Programming Manual

ABORT DELAY

When an alarm event occurs, the siren sounds when ENTRY DELAY expires. The alarm sent to
monitoring station only after ABORT DELAY expires. ABORT DELAY commences immediately after
ENTRY DELAY expires. This gives the user time to abort the sending of an accidental alarm by
pressing the OFF button within the ABORT DELAY period.
ABORT DELAY is a programmable option. If ABORT DELAY is programmed to 0, then an alarm will
be sent at the expiry of ENTRY DELAY, i.e. not user CANCEL can be sent. If the OFF button is
pressed before ABORT DELAY expires, a user CANCEL message will be sent. (CANCEL is a non-
actionable event for the monitoring station, but it makes the monitoring station aware that the system
had been briefly triggered before a user cancel.)
LOCKOUT
Alarm lockout inhibits multiple activation's of the same alarm (excluding panic), i.e. the external siren
will not sound again until the OFF button is pressed (alarm cleared). The internal siren will always
sound if the option is OFF.
If the option is ON both the external and internal sirens will be locked out. Required by AS2201.1
RUNAWAY
Runaway limits the number of times an alarm from a particular device will be sent to the monitoring
station. After 3 alarms have been sent, no further alarms for that device will be sent to the central
station until the system is DISARMED and ARMED.
This feature prevents a large customer phone bill being incurred if, for example, a door protected by a
reed switch is left unlatched and swings open and shut many times. Runaway is permanently enabled.
PROGRAMMING
SGIII is programmed in a similar way to SGII. The main difference is in the way radio devices are
programmed in. SGIII uses a common "LEARN" mode to listen for programming messages from new
devices. The installer does not specify a slot number, instead the unit allocates the next available slot
when a device is accepted.

LEARNING NEW DEVICES

1. Using the key switch, turn SecurityGuard off then on.
2. The software revision number is displayed briefly.
3. If unit has no keys programmed, it will display LEARN / KEY 1 until a key is programmed,
otherwise the unit flashes LEARN and waits 10 seconds to receive a radio key message:
•
If OFF is pressed on a programmed key, the unit enters PROGRAM mode, displaying the
first programmed key.
•
If ON is pressed on a programmed key, the unit enters PROGRAM mode, flashing
READY and listening for a LEARN message from a new device (key or detector).
•
If a LEARN message is received from an unprogrammed key, the unit will add the key to
the next available slot and display the new slot number, then allow the user to configure
the new key.
•
If none of the above occur after 10 seconds, the unit enters OPERATE mode. This is only
the case if there is at least one radio key programmed in.
