Auto-Test Delay; Event Log - Inhep Digital Security IDS 400 Installer Manual

IDS400 INSTALLER MANUAL

7.1 Auto-test Delay

An additional function of the hardware reset switch is the resetting of
the auto-test delay clock. This delay is set for 24 hours and the first
auto-test takes place 24 hours after application of power to the panel.
Depressing the switch while the panel is powered will reset the auto-
test delay clock to 23:59:50 i.e. 10 seconds before an auto-test takes
place (the auto-test is programmed to take place once the clock
reaches 00:00:00). This allows the auto-test to be reset to an hour that
is suitable to the User.

8. Event Log

The IDS400 automatically keeps an internal log of all events which
may be communicated through the onboard communicator. Once the
event log is "full" the oldest event will be overwritten by the most recent
event. An event is logged regardless of whether or not the panel is
programmed to communicate the event.
The event log can only be retrieved by means of the Windows based
download/upload software and appropriate modem.
The time of each event is not logged in absolute terms i.e. time of day
and date but relative to the previous event. The date and time indicated
on an uploaded event log is calculated by the PC using the PC clock
time. Since the time at which the upload event was initiated is known,
all other times can be calculated relative to this event.
The IDS400 does not contain an onboard battery to maintain the clock
time in the event of a total power failure and the back up battery
completely discharged, therefore in the event of a total power failure it
will not be possible to calculate the absolute time at which an event
took place. The relative time of each event will still be indicated.
