Re-Arm
When the bell time expires the system will silence. Re-arm will NOT take place until expiration of the
"confirmation" timer. Re-arm may be programmed between – 0 (never) and 9 (always) (this is in Change
Timers, 'Re-Arm No.' page: 66).
Omit Re-arm
At re-arm, any input (or device) in fault will be omitted, and an 'input isolated at re-arm' signal will be
generated. If 'Re-Arm Omits' is set to Yes in Site options (page 84) then any input that has activated at the
end of the confirmation input will be omitted, whether the input is in fault or not. If 'Re-Arm Omits' set to No
then any input that is still open at the end of the confirmation time will only be omitted.
Abort/Misoperation Signalling
The Abort/Misoperation signal can be activated by either the dedicated Misoperation Signal (PGM output) or
the 'Disarm' Content ID/SMS signal. Misoperation signals will only be sent if the panel is in alarm at the time.
At the end of the 'confirmation time' the system re-arms itself (thus is no longer in alarm condition) therefore
a misoperation signal will not be sent. The confirm timer is set to 30 minutes by default. For programming
details please see page: 66.
Engineer Reset
Engineer Reset can be programmed separately for Intruder, HU, Tamper, Soak, Confirmed and Fault
conditions. Once one of these alarms has been activated, the alarm can be silenced by a valid user code,
but the system can only be fully reset by an engineer code.
Any reset may be performed:
By the use of the Engineer Code
By the use of a remote reset code generated at the ARC from an anti-code generated by the
system. (see 'ATE Input Signal' below).
The reset may be performed through the "user / manager" menu even if part of the system remains armed.
ATE Input Signal
An input is available through the ATE connections to accept an input signal from the Alarm Receiving
Centre. This function is available in Site Options, please see page: 84.
None/Relay = Not Used.
DIGI = For use with a digital communicator (to log the failure to receive acknowledgement of the signal from
the ARC).
STU = To accept an 'Engineer Reset' signal from the ARC.

10.7.5 Sequential Confirmation Signalling

All PCX systems include necessary functionality to comply with the requirements of DD243:2004.
Sequential Confirmation Signalling From Partitioned Systems
The system may be programmed to respond:
To events within a dedicated partition only ('Confirmed Partition' signal)
To any event on the system ('Confirmed Any' signal).
NOTE: Sequential confirmation may also be signalled by use of an extended signalling format.
General
Sequential Confirmation applies to all input types that generate an "intruder" response when the system is
armed. i.e. Intruder (Immediate), Tamper (including SAB/System tamper but NOT code-guessing), Entry
Route (other than 'final exit – if tripped without entry time started), Entry Shock (Shock sensor) and Day
Alarm and to tamper alarms from those input types.
Tamper response of input types that do NOT form part of the intruder system (i.e., fire, switcher, etc types)
generate a normal 'tamper' response and will count towards 'confirmation' ONLY if paired with a normal
"intruder type" activation.
