Configuration Instructions
the Monitoring Station. The zone will be reactivated upon disarming, or 48 hours after having
been bypassed (if the system remains armed).
Options: after 1 alarm (default); after 2 alarms (default in USA); after 3 alarms and no stop.
Define whether cross zoning will be active "ON" or inactive "OFF" (default). Cross zoning is a
method used to counteract false alarms - an alarm will be initiated only when two adjacent
zones (zone couples) are violated within a 30-second time window.
This feature is active only when the system is armed AWAY and only with respect to the
following zone couples: 18+19, 20+21, 22+23, 24+25, 26+27 in PowerMaster-10 G2 system /
40+41, 42+43, 44+45, 46+47, 48+49, 50+51, 52+53, 54+55, 56+57, 58+59, 60+61, 62+63 in
PowerMaster-30 G2 system.
Notes:
1. If one of the two crossed zones is bypassed (see Section 5.5.2), the remaining
zone will function independently.
2. It is recommended that crossed zones will be only zones used for detection of
burglary i.e. "Zone Types": Entry/ Exit, Interior, Perimeter and Perimeter follower.
Important! Do not define "cross zoning" to any other zone types such as Fire,
Emergency, 24h audible, 24h silent etc.
Configuration Instructions
Define whether or not the user will be allowed to initiate a Panic Alarm from keypads (by
simultaneous pressing the two "Panic Buttons") or keyfobs (by simultaneous pressing the
"Away" + "Home" buttons) and whether the alarm will be "silent" (i.e. only reporting of the
event) or also audible (i.e. the sirens will also sound).
Options: audible (default); silent and disabled.
A duress (ambush) alarm message can be sent to the Monitoring Station if the user is forced
to disarm the system under violence or menace. To initiate a duress message, the user must
disarm the system using a duress code (2580 by default).
To change the code, enter the new 4-digit of the new Duress code at the position of the
blinking cursor or enter 0000 to disable the duress function and then press
Notes: The system does not allow programming a duress code identical to an existing user code.
If no sensor detects movement in interior zones at least once within the defined time window,
an "inactive alert" event is initiated.
Define the time window for monitoring the lack of motion.
Options: disabled (default); after: 3/6/12/24/48/72 hours
Define whether the Tamper switch protection of all zones and other peripheral devices
(except the control panel) are "active" (default) or "not active".
Warning!: If you select "
of tampering with any of the system peripheral devices.
To avoid nuisance reporting in case of short interruptions in the house of AC power, the
system reports an AC Fail message only if the AC power does not resume within a pre-
determined time delay.
Options: after 5 minute (default), after 30 minute, after 60 minute or after 3 hours.
Note: To comply with EN requirements, the time delay must not exceed 60 min.
If two successive alarm events occur within a specific time window, the system can be
configured to report the second alarm event as a "confirmed alarm" (see section 5.6.4
option 61). You can activate this feature and set the respective time window.
