The Brink's Home Security System; Equipment In The Standard Systems - BRINKS DCU-500 Manual

The Brink's Home Security Standard System
1. One Master Control Panel - This device
processes information sent to it by all the other
components of the system. When an alarm is
tripped, the master control panel interprets the
signal and sends a message to the Brink's
Monitoring Center. This message is sent over
telephone lines. This panel also contains a backup
battery in case your home loses power. You should
not open the cover to the master control panel
unless instructed to do so by a Brink's
representative.
2. One Keypad - This keypad is used to turn the
system on and off and to use other system options.
It also includes three emergency panic buttons -
police, fire, and medical (See note on page 7.),
which can be used if emergency assistance is
needed. When pressed, the police and fire buttons
will cause the siren to sound. When the medical
button is pressed, the keypad beeps, but the siren
does not sound. In all cases, an alarm signal is
sent to the Brink's Monitoring Center. (Fire buttons
are not available in commercial installations.)
3. Two Door/Window Sensors - These sensors
are placed in or on the frame and body of each
door or window to be protected. If the protected
door or window is opened while the system is on,
an alarm will trip, and an alarm signal will be sent
to the Brink's Monitoring Center.
4. One Motion Detector - This device is used to
detect motion on the inside of your house. If
someone enters the area covered by the motion
detector while the system is on, an alarm will trip,
and an alarm signal will be sent to the Brink's
Monitoring Center.
