Dsc alarm panel brightness
A door that has been kicked in and damaged will probably not be closed by an intruder however, a motion detector will continue to reset itself indefinitely. If option 6 is OFF, the zone will continue to trip the system every time it is restored and re-opened. This will happen as many times as is designated in the Swinger Shutdown option under Communication Variables. Option 6: Swinger Shutdown/No Swinger Shutdown – If this option is ON, the zone will put the system into alarm if tripped if that zone is closed (restored), it will trip the system again if opened again (this is a “swinger”). Note: Stay/Away zones have Force Arming enabled, but they do NOT become active when closed if the system is armed in Stay mode. If the zone closes after the system is fully armed, it will then become an active part of the system. Option 5: Force Arming/No Force Arming – If this option is ON, the system will ignore the zone when the system is being armed, thus allowing it to be armed even if the zone is open. A zone defined as Fire, for example, would have this option turned off, since allowing a fire zone to be bypassed would be unsafe. If it is OFF, the zone cannot be bypassed. Option 4: Bypass/No Bypass – If this option is ON, the end user will be able to bypass the zone. If Chime is not turned on, no zones will chime, regardless of how this option is set. In order for this option to function, the Chime feature must be turned on at the keypad. If it is off, the zone will not generate chimes. Option 3: Chime/No Chime – If this option is ON, the zone will cause the keypads to “chime” (or beep) every time the zone trips, whether the system is armed or not. Obviously, if option 1 ( Audible/Silent) is OFF, option 2 has no effect. This is typically how the siren separates burglary (steady) from fire (pulsed) signals.
If it is OFF, the Bell Output voltage will follow a pulsing on/off pattern. Option 2: Steady/Pulsed – If this option is ON, the Bell Output (siren) will provide continuous voltage until the Bell Cutoff times out. This has no effect on whether the communicator dials out. Option 1: Audible/Silent - If this option is ON, the siren will sound when the zone is in alarm. The one exception, of course, is the use of wireless sensors we'll discuss that later, but at this point, our best advice is “Step away from the Zone Attributes!”įor each zone, there are twelve attributes that are part of the zone definition. This is not only unnecessary, but likely to cause lots of problems. We have seen numerous posts on the forum from beginners who have the mistaken notion that they need to manually set the attributes for each zone. That area is “Zone Attributes.” Zone attributes are specific options that help determine how each definition functions, and they are automatically set as soon as the zone is defined. There is another area of programming that is closely related to the zone definitions, and it is often misunderstood, especially by first-time installers. These different behaviors are set up in a section of programming known as “Zone Definitions.” It's difficult to think of a definition that isn't available, although it seems that with each new panel version, a couple of new ones appear. Like most modern systems, DSC alarm panels give the installer great flexibility in determining exactly how each zone should behave.
