Siren; Partition Status Display; Chime-Function - Visonic PowerMaxExpress User Manual

Siren

A partition is alarmed when receiving an event from
an alarmed device assigned to that partition.
Alarmed devices do not affect partitions to which
they are not assigned. A siren is common to all
partitions; therefore, an alarm from one or more
partitions will activate the siren.
Siren Activity

The siren will be activated when receiving an
event from an alarmed device.

Overlapping siren activations from different
partitions will not cause the duration of the siren
to be extended.

P1:X P2:X P3:X

button repeatedly.

When the siren sounds, it will not stop until all
alarmed partitions are disarmed. However if the
siren is active due to an alarm from a common
area zone, and one of the partitions assigned to
this area disarms the system, the siren will also
stop. In case that the alarm is initiated from a
common area but continues with zones that are
not assigned to a common area, the siren will
not stop until all partitions assigned to the
alarmed zones are disarmed.

In case that there is a fire in partition 1 and a
burglary in partition 2, the siren will sound FIRE.
When partition 1 is disarmed the siren will
sound BURGLAR for the remainder of the siren
timeout period.
