Group Status
This group attribute offers an additional feature that makes the operation of the channel conditional on
the set (armed) status of each of the system groups. A channel assigned Group Status only activates if
the set (armed) conditions of the programming are met, for example, an Intruder channel can be
programmed to activate only if groups 2 and 4 are set (armed) and group 3 is unset (disarmed).
To assign the Group Status conditions, press the * key when selecting the groups: an arrow (>) is
displayed on the bottom line as well as the current Status. Press the relevant number keys to toggle the
status of the groups and press the ent key to accept the programming. The available group status
conditions are:
S = Set - group must be set (armed) to allow channel to activate;
U = Unset - group must be unset (disarmed) to allow channel to activate;
– = Set or unset - channel activation is independent of the group status.
Programming Individual Channel Account Numbers
When the account number is programmed using option 56.1.2 = COMMUNICATIONS.Telecoms.
Account No., then all 16 channels are automatically programmed with the same number. The Account/
Channel menu option allows each channel to be programmed with a separate account number if required.
The account number can be up to a maximum of six digits, however a four digit account number is the
standard.
NOTE: Changing the main account number overwrites all separate account numbers previously programmed for
channels 1 – 16.
On selecting DTMF, the keypad displays 1 = Channels 1 - 16. Press the A key; the 2 = Acct/Channel
option is displayed. All 16 channels can be individually programmed. To access the Acct/Channel option
press the ent key; the first channel is displayed. Select the required channel using the A> and <B keys or by
entering the channel number directly and press the ent key; the account number currently assigned to the
channel is displayed. Press the <B key to delete each of the digits and then enter the new account number.
2 = SIA (Security Industries Association)
The SIA format provides a highly detailed protocol that transmits detailed information including zone
descriptions to a PC loaded with suitable software or to a SIA compatible receiver. The SIA format is capable
of transmitting over 330 different GX-Series events (refer to Appendix C for further details).
On selecting the SIA format, the keypad prompts for the required SIA level to be entered, there are five SIA
levels available:
•
0 (default) - Basic event information with 4 digit account number.
•
1 - as level 0 plus 6 digit accounts
•
2 - as level 1 but with event modifiers
•
- as level 2 but with text descriptions
•
- as level 3 but allows control commands to be received by the GX-Series control panel.
Trigger Events
When the SIA level has been selected press the ent key, the keypad displays the first trigger event and its
On/Off status (see table 6-25 for a list of available triggers). These are the events and alarms that are
transmitted to the ARC or PC. If the trigger status is set to On, an activation of an event controlled by the
trigger results in the transmission to the receiver of the event details. Step through the trigger events using
the A> and <B keys.
Table 6-24 shows the list of signaling triggers that are available to the Telecom module, the RS232 module,
the ISDN module and the Ethernet module.
