1. INTRODUCTION

Overview

The PowerMax+ is a wireless alarm control system
that provides protection against burglary, fire and
tampering. In addition, it can be used to control lights
and electrical appliances within your household
and/or to monitor the activity of disabled or elderly
people left at home. Status information is presented
visually and verbally, and in most cases a recorded
voice prompts you to take correct action.
The PowerMax+ is governed by a control panel
(Figure 1) designed to collect data from various
sensors that are strategically located within and
along the perimeter of the protected site (Figure 2).
In the disarmed state, the system provides you with
visual and verbal status information, and initiates an
alarm if smoke is detected or upon disturbance in a
24-hour zone (a zone which is active 24-hours a day).
In the armed state, the system initiates an alarm
upon detection of disturbance in any one of the
armed zones.
