Description
The Confirmation variable determines when an alarm is deemed to be a
confirmed alarm.
BS8243:
l
This will enforce compliance with the UK Police requirements, and is a
specific requirement for UK Commercial installations. The requirement
stipulates that an alarm will only be deemed to be a confirmed alarm if it
meets the following condition:
After an initial zone alarm has been activated and before the alarm
confirmation time has expired, a second zone alarm is activated. The
alarm confirmation time must be between 30 and 60 minutes. (See Timers
on page 264.)
If a second zone alarm is not activated within the Alarm confirmation time,
then the first zone alarm will be inhibited. The BS8243 confirmation option
is automatically set whenever the Standards > Region option is set to
UK.
Garda:
l
This will enforce the policies for confirmed alarms required by the Irish
Garda. The requirement stipulates that an alarm will be deemed to be a
confirmed alarm as soon as a second zone alarm is activated on the
system within the one alarm set period. The Garda confirmation option is
automatically set whenever the Standards > Region option is set to
Ireland.
EN-50131-9
l
This will enforce compliance with the EN-50131-9 standard and the
Spanish "INT/316/2011 Order of 1 February on the operation of alarm
systems in the field of private security". This requirement stipulates that an
alarm will only be deemed to be a confirmed alarm if it meets the following
conditions:
- 3 zone activations in 30 minutes (default), whereby two activations may
come from the same device if the activations differ in type, that is,
alarm/tamper.
- 1 Alarm activation followed by an ATS[1] Fault within 30 minutes
(default).
- ATS fault followed by a tamper or alarm condition within 30 minutes
(default).
If the 30 minutes expires and the zone is restored to its normal physical
state, then the zone's alerts will be restored if a level 2 user can restore
this alert. In this case, the zone will accept a new alert condition which will
cause a new activation.
Alternatively, if the zone has not been restored to its normal physical state
then that zone will be inhibited if that zone is allowed to be inhibited.
If an alert (ATS) reoccurs after the 30 minute window (default), then the 30
minute timer will restart.
The EN50131-9 confirmation option is automatically set whenever the
Standards > Region option is set to Spain.
VDS
l
This will enforce compliance with the VDS standard.
