Entry Shock Input Type (21); Creating A Common Partition; Input Attributes - Pyronix PCX-256 Programming Manual

PCX 256 PROGRAMMING MANUAL
A trigger from an Access input will be stored for 2 seconds before an alarm is activated. If
an Entry/Exit input is triggered within this time, the system will select entry time, rather than
immediate alarm.

5.6.2 Entry Shock Input Type (21)

This input type is designed specifically for use with systems installed using DD243 option 6.4.5,
This input type is always used in conjunction with an Entry/Exit input. The EE input is a door
contact on the initial entry door, and the Entry Shock input is a non-latching shock sensor fitted to
the door frame in the vicinity of the lock.
If the initial entry door is subjected to gross attack and forced open, then at the expiry of entry time
only one further intruder input need to be activated to signal a sequentially confirmed alarm – the
Entry Shock input counts as the first to alarm.
The Entry/Exit door contact must be opened with 10 seconds of the shock detector triggering for
the Entry Shock response to apply. Triggering the Entry Shock input in isolation will NOT generate
an alarm of any kind.

5.6.3 Creating a common partition

In certain situations, a 'common' partition may be needed.
A common partition is a partition that only arms if other specific partitions are armed. For example,
a reception in a building will only need to be armed if the offices and warehouse are armed. If the
office is armed, but the warehouse isn't, then the reception would still need to be inactive so people
would be able to leave the premises. An example of how to set this up is as follows:
Office: Inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4. Warehouse: Inputs 5, 6 and 7. Reception: Input 8.
Therefore what we would need to do in the above situation is program the office in one partition
(for example Partition A) and program the warehouse in another partition (for example in Partition
B). We then need to make the Reception 'common' to these two areas (Partitions A and B), so we
need to select both partitions A and B for this input (input 8)
After selecting the partitions for each input there is an option called "Input Partition: Any/All". For
inputs 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 we need to make this attribute 'any', as they work independently to the
partition they are assigned to. For input 8 (The common partition), we need to make this attribute
as 'all', therefore when partitions A and B are both armed, the reception (input 8) will automatically
arm as well. In this example, you would also have to select the user codes to both partitions A and
B (the keypads/readers can be in separate partitions though).

5.6.4 Input Attributes

Attribute Response Modification
System loudspeaker(s) will 'chime' when a input triggered whilst the alarm panel is
Chime
disarmed. Note: The input concerned will not indicate on the display.
Single System chimes once when the input is triggered.
Follow System chimes until the input is cleared.
Applicable to Immediate, Entry/Exit and Access input types
Omittable Enables the input to be manually omitted during the arming procedure.
Double The control will only generate an alarm if this input is triggered twice within a pre-set
Knock period, or if the input remains in fault condition for that period.
The control will only generate an alarm if this input, and another like-programmed
Dual Trip input with adjacent number, are in fault condition at the same time. Either input in
fault condition will prevent the system from arming.
Enables the system to respond correctly when detectors of 'normally open'
Normally
configuration are wired to the system. Alternatively converts input types which
Open
default to 'normally open' (e.g. PTS) to operate with normally closed devices.
