Defining Control Panel Parameters; Preliminary Guidance; Exit Delay; Bell Time - Visonic PowerMaxExpress Installer's Manual

**** Zone Type Definitions:
Inter-follow – a zone that is located between entry/exit zone and the alarm system control panel
Perimeter – a zone that relies on detectors to protect doors, windows and walls
Perim-follow – a non-entry/exit zone
Delay 1/2 – a zone that has programmable exit and entry delays
24h silent – a zone that initiates a silent alarm (the sirens do not function)
24h audible – a zone that initiates a siren alarm
Fire – a zone that uses smoke detectors and is permanently active
Non-alarm – used mainly to perform auxiliary remote control tasks such as opening/closing a gate, activating/deactivating
courtesy light, etc.
Emergency – used to send an emergency call to the central station or to private telephones
Gas – a zone that detects a gas leak and is permanently active
Flood – a zone that detects a flooad leak and is permanently active
Interior – a zone that allows free movement within the protected area without initiating an alarm (when armed HOME)
Temperature – a zone used to detect both indoor and outdoor temperatures and is permanently active
Home/Delay – a zone type which functions as a delay zone when the system is armed HOME and as a perimeter-
follower zone when the system is armed AWAY
Guard – a zone that functions like a 24-hour audible zone, except that following a short time period after an alarm, the
alarm is disabled (to allow access to a metal safe by a Guard)
Outdoor – a zone for outdoor areas where an activated alarm does not indicate intrusion into the house
For a detailed explanation of the Zone Types, refer to Appendix E.

4.4 DEFINING CONTROL PANEL PARAMETERS

4.4.1 Preliminary Guidance

This mode allows you to customize the control panel and
adapt its characteristics and behavior to the requirements of
the particular user. An illustrated process is shown in Figure
4.4. In this illustration, each selected option is displayed with
a dark box at the right side. To review the options,
repeatedly click
option is displayed, then click SHOW/OK button

4.4.3 Exit Delay

(Fig. 4.4 location 03). An exit delay allows the user to arm
the system and leave the protected site via specific routes
and doors without causing an alarm. Slow-rate warning
beeps start sounding once the arming command has been
given, until the last 10 seconds of the delay, during which
the beeping rate increases. Location No. 3 allows
programming of the exit delay length. Available options
are: 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s, 3m, and 4m.
Note: To comply with CP-01 requirements, "30s" option is
not available.
Note: To comply with UL requirements, the exit delay must
not exceed 120 sec.

4.4.4 Bell Time

(Fig. 4.4, location 04). Here you select the length of time
the bell (or siren) is allowed to function upon alarm. The
bell time starts upon activation of the siren. Once the bell
time expires, the siren is automatically shut down.
Available options are: 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 15 and 20 minutes.
Note: Bell Time is defined for the entire alarm system and
not per partition.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, the Bell Time
should be set to 15 min. max.

4.4.5 Abort Time

(Fig. 4.4 location 05). Here you select the length of time
allowed by the system to abort an alarm (not applicable to
alarms from FIRE, 24H SILENT, EMERGENCY, GAS,
FLOOD and TEMPERATURE
PowerMaxExpress is programmed to provide an "abort
interval" that starts upon detection of an event. During this

zones).
interval, the buzzer sounds a warning but the siren remains
inactive and the alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the
system within the allowed abort interval, the alarm is aborted.
Available options are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s, 2m, 3m
and 4m.
Note: To comply with CP-01 requirements, "60s", "3m" and
"4m" options are not available.
Note: To comply with UL requirements, the abort time must
not exceed 45 sec.

4.4.6 Alarm Cancel

(Fig. 4.4, location 06).
period that starts upon reporting an alarm to the central
station. If the user disarms the system within that time
period, a "cancel alarm" message is sent to the central
station.
Available options are: 1, 5, 15, 60 minutes, 4 hours and
also cancel inactive.
Note: To comply with CP-01 requirements, "1 minute"
option is not available.

4.4.7 Quick Arm

(Fig. 4.4, location 07). Here you determine whether the
user will be allowed to perform quick arming or not. Once
quick arming is permitted, the control panel does not
request a user code before it arms the system.
The two options are: quick arm ON and quick arm OFF.

4.4.8 Bypass

(Fig. 4.4, location 08). Here you permit either manual
bypassing of individual zones (through the USER SETTINGS
menu), or allow the system to "force arm" (perform automatic
bypassing) of open zones during the exit delay. If desired,
press the arming key again if you want to eliminate the
protest tone that sounds during forced arming. If a zone is
open and forced arming is not permitted, "NOT READY" is
displayed and the system does not arm (the "Sad Melody"
will sound). If "no bypass" is selected, neither manual
bypassing nor force arming is allowed.
Options: manual bypass, force arm and no bypass.
The
Note: To comply with EN requirements, "manual bypass"
or "force arm" must be selected.
