16.10 Appendix K: System Variables

Variable Description
SECURITY GRADE The Security Grade of the SPC4000 Installation is determined by the setting of this variable. For
further details on security grade requirements see [1].
Security Grade: Choose between Engineer, Grade 2, or Grade 3
Security Country: Choose between Ireland, Europe, or UK.
APPLICATION The Application variable determines whether SPC is being installed for use in a commercial
business or a private residence.
Choose between Commercial or Domestic
SYSTEM AREAS The SPC system may be installed in a building that is partitioned into distinct and separate
areas of operation. To cater for the requirements of these installations, the SPC supports the
use of multiple areas. Setting the SYSTEM AREAS variable to enabled allows the engineer to
define two or more areas on the system.
PARTSET A TIMED The PARTSET A TIMED variable provides the PARTSET A alarm mode with exit time
functionality by triggering the EXIT TIMER as soon as PARTSET A is set.
PARTSET B TIMED The PARTSET B TIMED variable provides the PARTSET B alarm mode with exit time
functionality by triggering the EXIT TIMER as soon as PARTSET A is set.
PARTSET A Enable this variable to automatically change zones with the Access attribute set to entry/exit
zones when Partset A alarm mode is activated.
ACCESS TO E/EXIT
PARTSET B Enable this variable to automatically change zones with the Access attribute set to entry/exit
zones when Partset B alarm mode is activated.
ACCESS TO E/EXIT
PARTSET A Enable this variable to automatically change entry /exit zones to alarm zones when Partset A
alarm mode is activated.
E/EXIT TO ALARM
PARTSET B Enable this variable to automatically change entry /exit zones to alarm zones when Partset B
alarm mode is activated.
E/EXIT TO ALARM
PARTSET A Enter a text description for the Partset A alarm mode.
RENAME
PARTSET B Enter a text description for the Partset B alarm mode.
RENAME
PART A LOCAL Enable this variable to ensure alarms activated in Partset A alarm mode do not report the alarm
activation to a remote central station.
PART B LOCAL Enable this variable to ensure alarms activated in Partset B alarm mode do not report the alarm
activation to a remote central station.
CALL ARG MSSG The Confirmation variable determines when an alarm is deemed to be a confirmed alarm.
Garda: This enforces the policies for confirmed alarm required by the Irish Garda.
DD243: This enforces compliance with the UK Police requirements, and is a specific
requirement for UK commercial installations.
KEYFOB RESTORE The Keyfob Restore variable allows the user to restore alert functionality remotely.
USER DURESS The User Duress variable allows the user to report a User Duress event while entering a user
code on the Keypad. This feature is particularly useful for locations where the threat of physical
force or coercion by a third party is a real possibility.
RETRIGGER The retrigger variable determines if bells/sirens will resound after a second zone activation is
detected.
ST
BELL ON 1 The Bell on 1st variable determines the manner in which internal and external bell outputs are
activated.
BELL ON FTS The Bell on FTS variable provides a mechanism to inform a user who has just set the alarm that
the system has failed to set, after that user has exited the building.
STROBE ON FTS The Strobe on FTS variable provides a visual mechanism to inform a user who has just set the
alarm that the system has failed to set, after that user has exited the building.
CODE DIGITS The code digits variable assigns the number of digits for both user and engineer pass codes.
OPEN ZONES This variable determines if open zones are shown when the system is in the Unset state without
any events.
SHOW STATE This variable determines whether the armed status (Set or Unset mode) of the system is
displayed permanently on the second line of the Keypad.
EOL RESISTANCE Allows the engineer to program the End Of Line [EOL] resistance configuration for all inputs
