3.7. Supervision Reporting
When you arm the system, you will normally hear 1 beep. If the unit continues a
sequence of beeping immediately after the arming beep, this means that a supervised
detector has failed to report in the last 24 hours.
The supervision feature ensures that a user can be confident of the systems operational
status – that is, all detectors are present & working correctly.
1 beep - Zone 1 has failed to report 5 beeps - Zone 5 has failed to report
2 beeps - Zone 2 has failed to report
3 beeps - Zone 3 has failed to report
4 beeps - Zone 4 has failed to report
If for example, if the system had Zone 3 and Zone 5 detectors missing, after arming (1
beep), the main unit will beep another 3 times then pause, then beep 5 times.
3.8. The Passive Infrared Detectors
It is vital that the detector is tested carefully for each installation. Placing the unit into
test mode (see below) is the best way of checking the detector. At 25°Celsius, the
detector should have a detection range of approximately 10 metres and a scope angle
of 90°, i.e. 45° either side of the center position straight ahead of the lens.
3.8.1. Test Mode for the Passive Infrared detectors
Test mode, as its name implies, is used for testing the detection range and testing the
radio transmission back to the main unit. At this time you should place the main unit
in walk test mode (see section 4.5). To place the detector in test mode do the
following:
• Remove the front cover off the detector via the clip at the top.
• The green and red lights will flash together, 6 times, to indicate that the detector
has entered test mode.
• Replace the front cover.
• The detector will stay in test mode for 3 minutes.
• The green and red lights will flash together, 6 times, to indicate that the detector is
exiting test mode.
The Green Light
During test mode the detector will flash the green light when you move into an
infrared beam zone or move out of the other side of that infrared beam zone (see
section 3.8.4. for more information on how the detector detects movement). Each time
the green light flashes this is called a pulse.
6 beeps - Zone 6 has failed to report
7 beeps - Zone 7 has failed to report
8 beeps - Zone 8 has failed to report
