Interior Zone
Interior zones are automatically bypassed when the system is armed using the 'Stay'
command Q, 9.
Suggested Use: Detectors protecting the interior areas in which the user requires
unrestricted movement when 'Stay' arming. For example bedrooms, bathrooms and
interior offices.
24hr Zone
24hr zones always generate an alarm when opened whether the system is armed or
disarmed.
Suggested Use: Panic buttons, glassbreak detectors and areas which require 24 hour
protection.
Fast Loop Perimeter Zone
This zone is a perimeter zone with a 50ms loop response time (compared to 150ms for all
other zone types).
Suggested Use: Shock sensors used to detect attempts to breach the exterior of a
protected area.
1.3: Telephone Communication
The Penta allows for up to two telephone numbers (primary and backup) to be
programmed into the system dedicated to central station communications or for use with
the 'Follow-me' format. An additional number can be programmed for use in conjunction
with the RP callback feature. Up to 16 digits can be programmed for each telephone
number. The Penta offers a number of communication options and supports either pulse
or DTMF dialing.
Central Station Communication
The Penta's on-board dialer uses the following protocols for central station
communication:
•
Contact ID
•
20pps 4/2 no parity
•
10pps 3/1 no parity
Follow-me
Using the 'Follow-me' feature, the panel informs the user that an event has occurred by
dialing the user's telephone number and sounding two beeps. After hearing the two
beeps, pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone sounds a number of tones to indicate
exactly which type of alarm has occurred. The number of tones indicates the type of
alarm generated.
= Alarm from zone 1
1 tone
2 tones
= Alarm from zone 2
= Alarm from zone 3
3 tones
4 tones
= Alarm from zone 4
After the alarm tones have been sounded, pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone either
causes the panel to hang up or, if additional alarms have occurred, sound another set of
alarm tones. Note: Electronics Line recommends using a telephone unit with
Continuous DTMF mode. If only Burst mode is available it may be necessary to
press more than once. If using the Follow-me feature, program the relevant event
codes (addresses 11 – 18) with any value greater than 00.
