12. Description of function arming/disarming
12.1 Intrusion detection control unit arming/disarming
Arming/disarming - these terms mean practically the same thing as switching the system on and off.
To switch on:
means to arm the system.
This can either be the "internally armed" status for presence security or the
"externally armed" status for absence security.
To switch off:
means to disarm the system.
Arming and disarming is performed using appropriate operating elements.
Depending on the version and components of your system, these elements can be operating units, a
block lock, a security operating panel, a door code or a proximity operating device (IDENT-KEY System).
12.2 Absence security
Absence security refers to external arming using a
suitable operating element e.g. an IK3 reader. This means
that you assume that the zone to be secured has been
vacated and cannot be entered even accidentally through
an unlocked door, for example.
The control unit can only be externally armed if:
-
there is no fault in the mains or the accumulator
-
no detector group or lock group may be triggered
-
no uncleared alarm should be pending
-
no fault of the telephone dialing device (transmission
device).
Detector groups which were internally disabled are automatically reactivated by external arming.
However, after disarming disabling is active again.
Arming is acknowledged by an audible signal which lasts approx. 3 seconds.
Every impending alarm criterion now releases a main alarm. Depending on the system configuration, the
alarm is transmitted visually (flashing lamp) and/or audibly (loudspeaker). This alarm can also be reported
to a security service via a transmission device, if installed.
Absence security status can only be lifted by disarming using an operating element such as the IK3 reader.
After disarming, an actuated alarm is displayed on the corresponding displays of the operating units and
on any parallel display boards installed.
The intrusion control panels additionally offers the function external arming of a zone via the
TouchScreen operating unit. For this purpose the function must be released by the installer.
