9.4 Adding a wired sensor to the Door/Window Sensor DS18
The DS18 Door/Window Sensor has an input or contact for an extra wired sensor. These sensors need to be of
type NC (normally closed contacts). There should not be any power on this contact (potential-free).
A few examples:
Securing a window with multiple magnetic contacts.
•
Adding extra sensors to your system, e.g. smoke detectors, temperature sensors, sensors to detect
•
electrical failures, etc.
1. Open the transmitter part of the DS18 by taking the two parts apart.
2. Remove the wire bridge from the connection for the wired sensor (2).
3. Connect the wired sensor.
The wired contact has its own Zone on the Base Console. You can register the contact using the procedure in
4.1.3 (to register a sensor, activate the alarm with your sensor in step 5).
9.5 Emergency sensors (always mode)
Your system also gives you the option to turn any sensor registered with the system into a so-called emergency
sensor. An emergency sensor will also activate the security system when the system is not switched on. When
an emergency sensor triggers an alarm, you will hear 'Alarm cause by emergency sensor' before the spoken
message you recorded. A few examples:
A panic button connected to the wired input on the console.
•
A door or window that should not be opened at any time.
•
A temperature or level sensor that warns you when a certain value or level is exceeded.
•
