4.6 GSM Auto Detection

The GSM modem auto detection feature enables
automatic enrollment of the GSM modem into the
PowerMax Pro control panel memory. GSM modem auto
detection is activated in one of two ways: after tamper
restore and after reset (power-up or after exiting the
installer menu). This causes the PowerMax Pro to
automatically scan GSM COM ports for the presence of
the GSM modem.

4.7 PowerLink Auto Detection

The PowerLink modem auto detection feature enables
automatic enrollment of the PowerLink modem into the
PowerMax Pro control panel memory. PowerLink modem
auto detection is activated in one of two ways: after tamper
restore and after reset (power-up or after exiting the
installer menu). This causes the PowerMax Pro to
automatically scan PowerLink COM ports for the presence
of the PowerLink modem.

4.8 DEFINING OUTPUT PARAMETERS

4.8.1 Preliminary Guidance

This mode enables you to determine X-10 / PGM outputs.
a. Events/conditions selection
(programmable) output and fifteen "X-10" devices will
function.
b. Function type selection for every X-10 unit and PGM output.
c. General definitions selection for X-10 units.
d. Selection of the internal siren or STROBE light (that will
be activated according to system programming).
e. Enrolling 2-way X-10 units.
The process is shown in Fig. 4.8. Each selected option is
displayed with a dark box at the right side. To review the
options, repeatedly click
desired option is displayed, then click
Note: The X-10 and the PGM outputs operate on the
entire alarm system and not per partition (in a PowerMax
Pro Partition system).
4.8.2 Define PGM
For the PGM output, you can select disable, turn on, turn
off or pulse active (turn on for predefined period, selected
by PULSE TIME), as follows:
BY ARM AWAY (upon AWAY arming).
BY ARM HOME (upon HOME arming).
BY DISARM (upon disarming).
BY MEMORY (activated upon registration of an alarm in
the memory, turned off upon memory clearing).
BY DELAY (during exit / entry delays).
BY KEYFOB (upon AUX button pressing in the keyfob
transmitter / MCM-140+, if "PGM/X-10" is selected in
"Define Panel" menu, locations 17 and 18).
BY ZONES (by disturbance in each of 3 selected zones,
irrespective of arming / disarming). If you select toggle,
the PGM output will be turned on upon event
occurrence in these zones and will be turned off upon
next event occurrence, alternately.
BY LINE FAIL: PGM output is ON if telephone line is
disconnected.

4.8.3 Defining INT/STRB

Here you determine whether the INT output will be used
for an internal siren or for a strobe. If strobe is selected,
the INT output will be activated when an alarm occurs until
the system is disarmed (i.e. clearing alarm memory).

under which PGM
or button, until the
button.
In the event that the GSM modem auto detection fails and the
modem was previously enrolled in the PowerMax Pro control
panel, the message "Cel Rmvd Cnfrm" will be displayed. This
message will disappear from the display only after the user
clicks . The modem is then considered as not
enrolled and no GSM trouble message will be displayed.
Note: A message is displayed only when the PowerMax
Pro alarm system is disarmed.
In the event that the PowerLink modem auto detection fails
and the modem was previously enrolled in the PowerMax Pro
control panel, the message "BBA Remvd Cnfrm" will be
displayed. This message will disappear from the display only
after the user clicks
considered as not enrolled and no PowerLink trouble
message will be displayed.
Note: A message is displayed only when the PowerMax
Pro alarm system is disarmed.
4.8.4 X-10 GENERAL DEF
For X-10 devices, you can select the following actions:
FLASH ON ALARM - you can select no flash or all light
flash, to control X-10 lighting devices in alarm conditions.
TRBL INDICATION - you can select don't indicate or
indicate for X-10 failure indication by the TROUBLE LED.
FAIL REPORT - you can select report to central
station 1, report to central station 2, report to private
telephone and send SMS, for X-10 devices failure
reporting.
3 PHASES & FREQ (you can select disable 3 phase, 3
phase 50 Hz, or 3 phase 60 Hz to define the X-10 signal
transmission type).
LOCKOUT TIME - you can enter daytime limits between
which X-10 lighting devices controlled by sensors will be
off, even when the associated sensors are triggered.
4.8.5 X-10 UNIT DEFINE
For the fifteen X-10 units you can perform the following
programming actions:
a. House code selection (a code letter from A to P that will
distinguish the site in which the system is installed from
other sites in the neighborhood).
b. Specific number definition for every X-10 unit (01 – 15).
c. Enrolling 1-way X-10 units
d. Enrolling 2-way X-10 units (that can perform status
reporting).
Note: If a 2-way X-10 unit is installed without enrolling,
interference to the 1-way X-10 units operation may
occur.
e. For each X-10 unit you can select disable, turn on,
turn off or pulse active (turn on for predefined period,
selected by PULSE
conditions:
X-10 LOCATION (the location of the stored X-10 unit).
BY ARM AWAY (upon AWAY arming).
BY ARM HOME (upon HOME arming).
BY DISARM (upon disarming).
BY MEMORY (activated upon registration of an alarm in
the memory, turned off upon memory clearing).
BY DELAY (during exit / entry delays).
. The modem is then
