Duress Alarm (Ambush); Piezo Siren; Defining Communication Parameters; Preliminary Guidance - Visonic POWERMAX Programming Manual

In UL installations, "off after 10 s" must be selected to
save battery power.
Upon selecting Location 24, the display will change to:
2 4 : B A C K L I G H T
Select the desired option as outlined in Para. 5.1 C above.

5.25 Duress Alarm (ambush)

A duress message can be sent to the central station if
the user is forced to disarm the system under violence or
menace. To initiate a duress message, the user must
disarm the system with the duress code (2580 by
default). Here you can change the code digits or enter
"0000" to deactivate the duress feature. The system
does not allow the user to program the duress code
saved in this memory location as a regular user code.
Note: It is not recommended to use 1234 or 1 number off.
Upon selecting Location 25, the display will change to:
2 5 : D U R E S S
Click <OK>. The display will show "duress code 2580",
with the cursor on the first digit. Press <OK> to accept this
or key in another code and press <HOME> to exit.

6. DEFINING COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS

6.1 Preliminary Guidance

A. Mode description
This mode allows you to adapt the telephone communi-
cation parameters to the local requirements.
Note: For all UL-certified systems, it is up to the
installer to completely verify the compatibility between
the DACT format and the receivers.
Compatible central station receivers:
– Osborne-Hoffman model 2000
– Ademco Model 685
– FBII Model CP220
– Radionics Model D6500
– Sur-Gard Model SG-MLR2-DG
– Silent Knight Model 9500
There are two kinds of memory locations in this sub-mode,
each of which requires a different programming method:
& Multiple Choice Locations: these memory locations
allow you to choose one of several options (see C
below for programming procedure)
& Numerical Data Locations: these memory locations
accept a sequence of digits (phone number, account
number etc. - see D below for programming procedure).
Should you wish to obtain an overall view of the entire
process, refer to the programming chart in Figure 5.
You may even use the chart as your only guide along
the programming process, instead of going through
the written step-by-step procedure.
B. Accessing the "Define Comm" Memory Locations
& Upon gaining access to the installer menu (see Section
1), the display will read "1. NEW INSTL CODE".
& Click <NEXT> until the 5th mode is displayed:
5 . D E F I N E C O M M .
& Click <OK>. The first memory location will be selected
and displayed:
0 1 : D I A L M E T H O D
DE5450P

5.26 Piezo Siren

Here you determine whether the piezo siren built into the
control cabinet will sound or not upon alarm. Ask the user
whether he prefers it to sound or to be silent.
The two options are: piezo siren on and piezo siren off.
In UL installations, the piezo siren must be ON.
Upon selecting Location 26, the display will change to:
2 6 : P I E Z O S I R E N
Select the desired option as outlined in Para. 5.1 C above.
Having thus completed a full cycle of all 26 panel attributes,
you may now continue by programming the communication
parameters (see Section 6), or you may select any other
item on the installer's menu (see opposite column).
If at this point you wish to return to the
installer's menu, click <AWAY>. This will get
you back to:
< O K > T O E X I T
You may now review and select any other
mode on the installer's menu (by clicking
<NEXT> or <BACK>).
& Click <NEXT> or <BACK> until you reach the memory
location you wish to access (see rectangles 01 to 23 in
Figure 5).
C. Programming Multiple Choice Locations
When a multiple choice location is selected, its number
and name will be displayed as shown in this example:
0 7 : R E P O R T F O R M A T
When you click <OK>, the currently saved option will be
displayed with a dark selection box at the far right:
S I A
If you approve of this option, click <OK>. The "Happy
Tune" will sound and the number and name of the present
memory location will be re-displayed.
If you do not approve, review the other options by clicking
<NEXT> or <BACK> repeatedly. Options that are not
saved will have a clear space at the far right, as shown:
c o n t a c t I D
To select an option that is not the currently saved one,
click <OK>. A dark box will appear at the far right. Clicking
<OK> once more will cause your selection to be saved -
the "Happy tune" will sound and the number and name of
the present memory location will be re-displayed.
D. Programming Numerical Data Locations
When a numeric data location is selected, its number and
name will be displayed as shown in this example:
0 3 : 1 S T C N T R T E L
When you click <OK>, the currently saved number will be
displayed, with a blinking cursor under the leftmost digit (if
there is no number programmed, the display will be blank).
0 7 3 8 4 9 2 0 4
If you approve of the saved number, click <OK>. The
"Happy Tune" will sound and the number as well as the
name of the present memory location will be re-displayed.
