Looking after People Left at Home

An important characteristic of the PowerMax+ is its
ability to function in a mode contrary to the usual
behavior of an alarm system. When the system is in
the disarmed state (or even when armed "HOME"
with perimeter protection only), it can keep track of
in-house activity and will report lack of motion in
interior zones if there is no detection of motion within
predetermined time limits.
To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer
to program a specific time limit beyond which lack of
motion will be reported as a "not active" alert.
To make things clear, let us assume that an elderly,
sick or handicapped person is left unattended in a
protected site. This person, disabled or sick as he
may be, will not stay entirely still for hours. It is only
natural that even while being asleep he will turn over
in his bed from time to time. He might also wander
into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to the bathroom for
other necessities. Upon doing so, the bedroom,
bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will detect his
movement.
If, for example, the "lack of motion" time limit is set by
your installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will
carry out a 6-hour "countdown".
If motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame, the
countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual
6-hour clock will be "reset") and no alert message will
be sent out.
If no motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame
in any interior zone, the control panel will send a
"not-active" alert message to the central monitoring
station or to private telephones designated by the
installer.
IMPORTANT! In addition, you may provide the
person confined to interiors with a single-button
transmitter for distress

Emergency Calls for Help

(not to be used in UL-listed systems)
Suppose the disabled person discussed above has
an accident such as falling in the bathtub without
being able to get up. It might take hours before the
"No Active" alert is sent out, but he (or she) must be
assisted much sooner.
Even though the odds for such an accident are not
high, it is advisable to provide the disabled person
with a miniature, single-button pendant-type or
wristwatch-type transmitter. Pressing the button on
this transmitter will cause the PowerMax+ to send an
DE5467U

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
"emergency call" to the central monitoring station or
to private telephones designated by the installer.
To make this possible, ask your installer to define
one of the 28 zones of the PowerMax+ as an
emergency zone.
Then, obtain one of the transmitters listed below and
link this transmitter's ID code to the emergency zone.
Compatible distress transmitters are (see Fig. 5):
MCT-201 - pendant-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-211 - wristwatch-type (not listed by UL)
MCT-101 - pocket-type (not listed by UL)

Remote Control by Telephone

A. Establishing Telephone Communication
You can access the PowerMax+ system from a
remote telephone and
disarming, activation and deactivation of electrical
devices and the auxiliary output (PGM), record,
playback and erase
investigate the system status. The process is shown
in the next illustration.
1. Dial the PowerMax+ tel. No.
2. Wait for 2-4 rings then hang
up.
3. Wait 12-30 sec.
4. Redial PowerMax+ tel.
No. (Sound will be heard
for 10 sec.)
5. [user code], [#]
6. [Desired command, see next table]
Notes
(1) The PowerMax+ responds in a similar way if you
just dial once and wait until you hear telephone
rings (in USA, for example, 11 rings).
(2) Entering of user code is required once only.
(3) If you wait more that 50 seconds (may change
according to setup / use) without keying a
command, the PowerMax+ will disconnect the line.
