SPECIAL APPLICATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

8. Special Applications and Functions

Looking after People Left at Home

In addition to acting as an alarm system, the PowerMaster can also be used to monitor the movement of people
at home when the system is in the disarmed state (or even when armed "HOME" with perimeter protection only),
and 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. For example, 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 and is expected to 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.
Important!
To enable motion detectors to function during the disarmed state, all motion detectors must be configured by the
installer to detect activity during disarmed state (i.e. "DISARM Activity" recommended setting ""YES + 5m delay").
For further details, refer to the motion detector's Installation Instructions.
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 monitoring station or to private telephones designated by the installer.

Acknowledging "low battery" condition in Keyfobs

Some regulations and institutions require the user to acknowledge when the keyfob enters the "low battery"
condition. In such cases the installer will program the system to operate as follows:
If you try to disarm the system with a keyfob whose battery voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard for 15
seconds. During this period you should press again the disarm button of the keyfob or control panel (for the
control panel, a user code is required) to disarm the system. If you perform this action during the 15 seconds
period, a Low Bat acknowledge message will be stored in the event log.
If the disarm button is not pressed again during the 15 seconds period you will not be able to rearm the system
unless you perform either one of the following actions:
A. Press AWAY twice to arm the system.
B. Press AWAY and then press disarm button.
Performing either of these two actions will also store the acknowledge message in the event log.
