Managing Alerts and Alarms
Chapter 5 Managing Alerts and Alarms
The PowerMax Security System distinguishes between two major event types: Alarms
and Alerts. Alarms are events that indicate that the security system is alarmed due to a
burglar intrusion, a panic situation, an emergency situation or any other situation that
is declared as an alarm situation.
All trouble events or events that do not put the security system into Alarm mode are
considered Alerts and should be treated as soon as possible. Alerts do not usually
affect the security system immediate behavior.
All Alert and Alarm details are written to the PowerMax.
System Alerts
If an Alert situation exists in the system, the Alerts Indicator appears in any Visonic
PowerLink2 screen. The Alerts Indicator displays how many alerts there are in the
system at the moment.
