Alarm system
i The instructions described below concern the alarm system integrated in the device and
the operation solely from the device. If other operating devices are installed in the KNX
system, the operational steps must be carried out accordingly. If the device is used as a
display and operating device for a separate KNX alarm control system, the appropriate
instructions must be followed.
The alarm systems – with the aid of appropriate warning devices – simplifies the monitoring of
windows, doors etc. Depending on the status of the systems, the response of a warning device
is displayed or an alarm is triggered. The following functions are available:
- Up to 40 warning devices can be connected.
- Two security areas: exterior and interior
- Internal activation area: Exterior is monitored.
- External activation area: Exterior and interior are monitored.
i The alarm system in this device is by no means a substitute for a VdS certified alarm
system. It is no substitute for mechanical safety mechanisms for preventing the
unauthorised entry of strangers.
Status of systems
The response of the alarm system depends upon its system status:
- System deactivated: Incoming status signals are displayed but do not trigger an alarm.
- Activated: Status signals in an activation area trigger an alarm. A distinction is made
between:
Internal system activated: People are present in the interior. Only the exterior of the
building is monitored. People in the interior do not trigger an alarm. Status signals from the
exterior trigger an alarm.
External system activated: People are not present. All interior and exterior areas are
monitored. If a warning device responds, an alarm is triggered.
- Alarm: If a warning device responds within an activated security area, the alarm system
switches to the alarm status. The alarm is displayed by the installed alarm signaling
system.
- Fault: The system switches to the fault status if, e.g, the function of individual warning
devices is so impaired that proper operation cannot be guaranteed. It is not possible to
activate the system from the fault status.
