Reporting Messages To A Pager; Conducting A Walk Test - Visonic PowerMaxComplete User Manual

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Reporting Messages to a Pager

Control
panel
Since the PowerMaxComplete can be programmed
to report events to a pager, the user of the pager
must be informed on how to interpret the numerical
message that his pager displays.
Communication with a pager takes place as follows:
•
The PowerMaxComplete dials the pager's
phone number, waits 5 seconds and sends the
numerical message.
•
The message transmitted
PowerMaxComplete to the pager is actually a
string of digits, as follows:
[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX]
Pager's PIN No. - Up to 16 digits
Programmed by the Installer
Figure 6. Pager Message Structure
The person receiving the message sees only the
"YYY -0ZZ#" part of the message, which he can
interpret by using the following legend:
Events types (YYY) are coded as follows:
Event Code Event
Alarm 919 Fire
Trouble 818 Close
Emergency 717 Open
Panic 616 Latchkey 103
ZZ is the zone number in which the event occurred,
or the user number in case of Close, Open and
Latchkey events.
Example 1: Message reads "919-003":
This means an alarm occurred in Zone No. 3.
Example 2: Message reads "101-008":
This means the system was closed (armed) by user
No. 8.

Conducting a Walk Test

The walk test is an indispensable operation by which
you verify that all detectors function properly, without
disturbing the neighbors with loud sirens. The test
must be performed at least once a week, and
should include all detectors in all zones.
Before performing walk test, all the detectors must
be in normal state. Normal state is achieved when no
motion is made for at least 2 minutes.
Note: During the test period, 24-hour zones will not
cause an alarm if violated, but a fire zone will
function normally.
