Chapter 4: Managing Alerts and Alarms

The PowerMax+ / PowerMax PRO Security System distinguish 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+ / PowerMax PRO.

System Alerts

If an Alert situation exists in the system, the Alerts Indicator appears in any Visonic
PowerLink screen. The Alerts Indicator displays how many alerts there are in the
system at the moment.
