Detailed Operation:
Software flow diagrams on pages 22 to 25, shows operation of the Octopus ATM Defense System. Following the
flow diagram each state and its characteristics are discussed in detail.
The numbered bubbles ( ) are directly correlated between the flow diagram and the discussion which
follows.
POR
Upon application of power, battery installed and Jumper J4 shorted. The unit will initialize all ports and sensors.
It will the check for the presence of the POST button activation signal.
TEST MODE
Placing the unit in TEST mode:
If the POST button is held down while power is applied (POR) the unit will beep 5 times and go immediately to
test mode. See Appendix T for operation and detailed description of TEST mode operation.
If the POST is not active the unit will go to STANDBY mode.
STANDBY MODE
STANDBY is the lowest level of protection, allowing service and maintenance of the sensors, cassettes, and the
ATM itself without fear of activation. While in this mode, it is possible to detect and correct all sensor errors by
using the press-to-test button located on the MCU.
The Octopus system is automatically placed in this mode, if no alarm is active, by authorized door opening. This
state will remain until either the press-to-test button is pushed, or the door contact switch changes to a normally
closed state.
Arming the system:
For Octopus Level III (US) and Level V (Brazil), closing the door is the action which upgrades the system from
STANDBY mode to ARMED mode. Octopus Level II (Canadian) requires a bolt indicator switch connected to
Generic NC input # 2 before arming the system see 2A..
Arming Octopus Level II (Canadian)
Octopus Level II requires two signals be present, the ATM door contact closed and a Bolt Indicator contact closed
when the bolt is closed to be present before arming the system.
System Self-Test:
While the system is in STANDBY mode it is possible to perform a system test by pressing and holding the POST
button for 2 seconds. The following events will occur:
a) Discovery
A proprietary method for determining how many CSUs are in the system and assigning them
communications channels
b) Beep Count
An indication by the MCU of the number of CSUs in this ATM protection system. This is
accomplished by beeping the MCU buzzer a short beep for each CSU found, while blinking a
green LED. I beep and 1 blink for each CSU.
