15-Alarm group restrictions
Alarm group restrictions provide means to define certain alarm control functions
for certain areas in alarm groups. Alarm control can be restricted to “Timed
disarm” and “Arm/Reset only”.
Two special restrictions are available:
• Alarm group restriction Emergency
• Alarm group restriction Counter
The combination of alarm group and alarm group restriction provides the
available alarm control to a user (or keyswitch). An alarm group is only restricted
if a restriction is programmed. The restriction is only applicable if the areas from
the alarm group restriction are also in the alarm group. Areas that are not in the
alarm group restriction but are available in the alarm group, do not have any
restriction (except if programmed in the “5-Alarm groups” on page 50).
Examples:
• Cleaners are only allowed to arm/reset area 1, 2, and 3. They are not allowed
to disarm. Area 4 however, they can arm and disarm without restrictions.
An alarm group is programmed with areas 1 through 4 and alarm group
restriction 1. Alarm group restriction 1 has arm/reset only for areas 1, 2,
and 3.
• A security guard has permission to disarm areas 3, 4, and 5. After 15
minutes, the areas should re-arm automatically.
An alarm group is programmed with areas 3, 4, and 5 and alarm group
restriction 3. Alarm group restriction 3 has areas 3, 4, and 5 for timed disarm.
In Timers, the disarmed time is programmed for 15 minutes.
Alarm group restriction options
1. Timed disarm of areas
The Timed Disarm option applies to areas assigned to an alarm group and
programmed as “Timed disarm areas” on page 117 in the Alarm group restriction
menu.
Alarm group restrictions 1 to 6:
When disarming the programmed
areas and a timer starts running.
The areas arm again when the timer has expired unless other
timers are still running.
Users can arm the area by re-entering their code, provided
the display does not show Ending. If other timers are running
and the code is re-entered, the individual alarm group
restriction is cleared but the area is not armed.
Users can extend the timer by re-entering their code when the
display shows Ending for their alarm group restriction.
A buzzer sounds as a warning when the timer is running out
and the area is about to arm.
