Wards; 24 Hour Alarms; Communications - Eaton Menvier 20 Administrator's And User Manual

1. Introduction
Full Set, and includes all the detectors. There are three other security
levels called Part Set B, C and D. For example, in a small shop Full Set
might monitor the whole premises, while Part Set B might monitor just the
store room. Any rear doors would normally be monitored 24 hours a day
(see "24 Hour Alarms" below).

Wards

If the system is installed at a site where some users must be restricted to
parts of the site, for example a warehouse with storage areas and separate
offices, then the installer can split the system electronically into separate
"wards".
The Menvier300 can have up to 20 wards, the Menvier100 up to 10, the
Menvier40 up to five and the Menvier30 up to four. Users can set and unset
each ward completely independently of all the others. Individual users can
be given access to one or more wards: if they have no access to a ward
then they cannot set or unset that ward. In effect the system splits into 20
(or 10, or five or four) separate alarm systems.
In addition each ward can be programmed to set at one of two security
levels: either Full Set or Part Set. Any user who is allowed to set a ward
can select either of the two security levels.

24 Hour Alarms

The control unit can also monitor detectors continuously rather than being
set and unset. For example:
Fire and smoke detectors, flood sensors, Hold Up Alarm buttons or
emergency exits.
Monitors for machinery (for example freezers) or other type of
"technical alarm".
These are collectively known as "24-hour alarms" because they can cause
an alarm 24 hours a day: it does not matter whether a user has set or unset
the system.

Communications

Your system may be fitted with a communication module that allows the
control unit to send alarm information over the telephone network, the
mobile phone network, or the internet. There are separate modules for
each of these different tasks.
The Installer may also be able to call into your control unit and program it
remotely. Depending on how your Installer has programmed the system
