Looking after people at home

In addition to acting as an alarm system, the PowerMaster-360R can also be used to monitor the movement of
people at home when the system is in the disarmed state (or even when armed "HOME" with perimeter
protection only). The system can report a lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of motion
within predefined time limits.
To use this feature, you must ask your installer to program a specific time limit beyond which lack of motion will
be reported as a "not active" alert. For example, let us assume that an elderly person is left unattended in a
protected site. This person, will not stay entirely still for hours and so any motion when entering a room is
detected by motion detectors.
Important!
To enable motion detectors to function during the disarmed state, all motion detectors must be configured by the
installer to detect activity during disarmed state (i.e. "DISARM Activity" recommended setting ""YES + 5m delay").
For further details, refer to the motion detector's Installation Instructions.
If, for example, the "lack of motion" time limit is set by your installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock carries out
a 6-hour "countdown".
If motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame, the countdown restarts from the beginning (the virtual 6-hour
clock will be "reset") and no alert message is sent out.
If no motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame in any interior zone, the control panel sends a "not-active"
alert message to the monitoring station or to private telephones designated by the installer.

Acknowledging "low battery" condition in Keyfobs

Some regulations and institutions require the user to acknowledge when the keyfob enters a "low battery"
condition. In such cases the installer programs the system to operate as follows:
If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery voltage is low, a protest beep is heard for 15
seconds. During this period you should press again the disarm button of the keyfob or control panel (for the
control panel, a user code is required) to disarm the system. If you perform this action during the 15 seconds
period, a Low Bat acknowledgement message is stored in the event log.
If the disarm button is not pressed again during the 15 seconds period you will not be able to rearm the system
unless you perform either one of the following actions:
A. Press AWAY twice to arm the system.
B. Press AWAY and then press the disarm button.
Performing either of these actions stores the acknowledgement message in the event log.
