Configuration Instructions
Define whether or not the user will be allowed to initiate a Panic Alarm from keypads (by
simultaneous pressing the two "Panic Buttons") or keyfobs (by simultaneous pressing the
"Away" + "Home" buttons) and whether the alarm will be "silent" (i.e. only reporting of the
event) or also audible (i.e. the sirens will also sound).
Options: audible (default); silent and disabled.
A duress (ambush) alarm message can be sent to the Monitoring Station if the user is forced to
disarm the system under violence or menace. To initiate a duress message, the user must
disarm the system using a duress code (2580 by default).
To change the code, enter the new 4-digit of the new Duress code at the position of the
blinking cursor or enter 0000 to disable the duress function and then press
Notes: The system does not allow programming a duress code identical to an existing user
code.
If no sensor detects movement in interior zones at least once within the defined time window,
an "inactive alert" event is initiated.
Define the time window for monitoring the lack of motion.
Options: disabled (default); after: 3/6/12/24/48/72 hours

determined time delay.
Options: after 5 minute (default), after 30 minute, after 60 minute or after 3 hours.
Note:To comply with EN requirements, the time delay must not exceed 60 min.
If two successive alarm events occur within a specific time window, the system can be
configured to report the second alarm event as a "confirmed alarm" (see section 4.6.3 option
61). You can activate this feature and set the respective time window.
Options: disable (default in USA); in 30/45/60 (default)/90 minutes

(see section 4.13).
The PowerMaster 360 can be configured to provide a delay before reporting an alarm to the
Monitoring Station (not applicable to alarms from 24H SILENT and EMERGENCY zones).
During this delay period, the siren sounds but the alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the
system within the delay time, the alarm is aborted. You can activate the feature and select the
"Abort Time" interval.
Options: in 00 (default in USA)/15/30 (default)/45/60 seconds; in 2/3/4 minutes

(see section 4.13).
The PowerMaster 360 can be configured to provide a "Cancel Alarm" time window that starts
upon reporting an alarm to the Monitoring Station. If the user disarms the system within that
"cancel alarm" time, a "cancel alarm" message is sent to the Monitoring Station indicating that
the alarm was canceled by the user.
Options: not active (default in USA); in 1/5 (default)/15/60 minute(s) and in 4 hours.
