User's manual
This device allows the control panel to send report calls to Alarm Receiving centres (ARC).
Ability control panels provide a built-in digital dialer which supports all the most widely
used protocols.
The time (expressed in minutes or seconds) that the system allows the user to disarm the
partition after zone violation. It the system is not disarmed within the set time it will
generate an alarm.
Each partition can be programmed with its own Entry time.
An operative status recognized by the system.
For example: detector alarm, mains failure, user-code recognition, etc.
Each event (e.g. mains failure) can be associated with an activation event (when the event
occurs) and a restoral event (when the event ends).
Each event can be programmed to generate the following actions:
• activation of one or more outputs
• transmission of one or more e-mails
• activation of one or more voice calls
• activation of one or more digital calls
This is the non-volatile portion of the memory the panels saves events to. The events are
saved in chronological order with the following details:
• event description - with details regarding new events and restorals
• information regarding the user or the cause of event
• event location
• event date and time
The events log can be viewed by the system users and the installer.
Partition events (zone alarms, partition alarms, arm/disarm operations, recognized codes
and keys, etc.) can be viewed by users with at least one partition in common with the
event element.
For example, if a user arms several partitions from a keypad, the events log will show:
• description of the event - "Arm request"
• description of the code and partitions involved
• description (label) of the keypad involved
• date and time of the request
A short period (expressed in minutes or seconds) during which the user must disarm the
partition after violation (for example, after opening the front door) otherwise the system
will generate an alarm.
Each partition can be programmed with its own Exit time.
These boards can be used to increase the number of terminals (zones or outputs) and/or
the size of the system (in order to extend it over a larger partition). Expansion boards can
be connected to the system via the I-BUS.
A condition which indicates that a system component is not working properly.
Some faults can jeopardize the performance of the entire system. Mains failure (230V
a.c.), telephone line-down and low battery are typical faults.
This device allows the system to send calls over the GSM network.
The SmartLink is a custom GSM interface. This device is capable of providing the control
panel with a telephone line even in the event of telephone line tamper (line cutting). This
function increases the level of security considerably.
This is the two-way communication line (4 wires only) which connects the peripheral
devices (keypads, readers, expansions, etc.) to the control panel.
The 4 easily identifiable wires, on the control panel motherboard and on the expansions,
are:
• "+" power 12 Volt
• "D" data
• "S" data
• "-" Ground
The Installer code is identified by a 4, 5 or 6 digit PIN. This PIN allows the installer to
access the system Programming Menu either from a keypad or via the respective software
application, on condition that all the system partitions are disarmed.
List of system functions and respective parameters accessed via keypad.
This menu allows the installer to program, check and change nearly all of the system
parameters. The Installer Menu can be accessed from any keypad by typing in the installer
PIN, under the condition that all the system partitions are disarmed, or from a computer
via the Ability Suite software application.
A zone that monitors the inside of the protected building.
For example, the interior zones of an office building are the zones that monitor offices and
entrance points.
If a partition that a zone belongs to is armed in Stay mode, it will be unable to generate
alarms.
