  • Page 22: Alarm Functions

    Alarm functions User alarms Alarms that fall into this category are alarms initiated by the user. This can be done by pressing the Alarm button (B1) on the NOVO or using a portable trigger, SMILE. An alarm triggered by an accessory such as WALL, PIR II or SMOKE can also belong to this category.
  • Page 23: Presence/Ready

    • Changing between Home and Away mode can also be done by some protocols depending on Alarm Receiver. When unit exits Away mode and enters Home mode the following occurs: • The passive function is restarted. • Radio supervision is restarted. •...
  • Page 24: Accumulator Alarm

    4.2.2 Accumulator alarm The unit monitors the voltage level of the Accumulator. When the unit is connected to AC, the interval of voltage level checks can be configured. With the default configuration this interval is 24 hours. When the unit is powered from the accumulator, NOVO checks the voltage level every minute.
  • Page 25: 4.2.6 Mains Failure

    4.2.6 Mains failure If the unit loses mains power (AC failure) and is powered from the backup accumulator it can be configured to send a Mains Failure alarm and indicate the failure visually and/or acoustically, see chapter "3 Indications". For Mains failure, a detection delay can be configured. The unit will delay any indication of the failure for the configured detection delay.
  • Page 26: The Alarm Call

    The alarm call Alarm event Any event in the NOVO that will result in the transmission of an alarm is an alarm event. • Alarm events can be user initiated, e.g. pressing the Alarm button (B1). • Alarm events can be initiated by unit as a result of any kind of surveillance of the status of the unit, e.g.
  • Page 27: Global Settings For Sequence And Call Attempts

    5.1.5 Global settings for sequence and call attempts For all alarm events a maximum number of cycles of sequence can be configured to ensure unit will move on from a failed alarm event. Furthermore, a max total call attempts can be configured for the same purpose. These two parameters are global and will override any individual settings Carrier type Depending on the model, NOVO supports up to two carriers.
  • Page 28: Wait Between Call Attempts

    Wait between call attempts When a call attempt fails for some reason NOVO will wait for a configurable amount of time before making the next call attempt. This state is indicated by blinking of the Alarm button, see "3.1.2 Alarm button (L4) LED indications". Alarm types can be configured to allow the user to cancel an ongoing alarm during wait between call attempts.
  • Page 29: Indications During An Alarm Call

    Indications during an alarm call NOVO can be configured to indicate the progress and status of an alarm call. Some of these configurations are made for each alarm type while others are global 5.5.1 Acoustical indications Pre-call signal Before starting an alarm sequence the unit can be configured to play a pre-call signal for a configurable amount of time.
  • Page 30: Visual Indications

    5.5.2 Visual indications Ongoing call During an ongoing alarm call the unit will indicate call in progress/conversation, see "3.1.2 Alarm button (L4) LED indications", if the alarm type is configured to allow visual indications. The unit can be configured to disable visual call indications when powered by backup accumulator.
  • Page 31: Examples

    Examples In the following sections examples will be given of how to configure NOVO Not all parameters are shown, only those most relevant for the purpose of each example. When calling an alarm receiver, the protocol used by NOVO must correspond to the protocol supported by the alarm receiver.
  • Page 32: Scaip Over Ip/Gsm

    5.7.2 SCAIP over IP/GSM The way NOVO communicates with a digital alarm receiver requires additional parameters. Following is an example of such a configuration showing some of these parameters. Step Call type Carrier type Call attempts Table 16. The steps in the sequence used. In this example NOVO will, after 2 failed call attempts, change carrier from IP to GSM.
  • Page 33: Programming/Configuration Modes

    Programming/configuration modes General NOVO can be configured in a number of ways depending on model and market. It can be done with the buttons on the unit, via the Management Portal (CMP), with a software programmer, with a HAND terminal or with the LPP protocol. Software programmer is available in certain markets.
  • Page 34: Control Mode

    6.2.1 Control Mode Control Mode is accessible from Idle mode. To enter Control Mode, shortly press the Power button (PS1). While the unit is in Control Mode the front LEDs (L4 – L6) are all lit. The unit automatically returns to Idle mode when a function has been completed or after 5 seconds of inactivity.
  • Page 35 When a function has been executed, the unit automatically returns to the Service Menu and a voice message describing next available function is played. Select the function by pressing Alarm button (B1). Step to next function by pressing Extra button (B3). Exit function and return to Service Menu by pressing Reset button (B2).
  • Page 36 Plug&Play programming To enter Plug&Play programming from the Service Menu, press Alarm Button (B1). Novo will confirm your choice by playing a short confirmation tone. Novo is now in Plug&Play programming. Activate the peripheral (e.g. press alarm button on SMILE) to register it in NOVO. A confirmation tone is played to confirm the addition.
  • Page 37 Range test Range test can be used to confirm that a peripheral is registered and/or to test the radio range. NOVO returns to Service Menu after 5 minutes of inactivity. NOVO indicates that the function has been chosen by flashing LEDs L1 – L3 in synchronization.
  • Page 38 Remove a transmitter by position This method allows removal of a peripheral from the first 8 positions. It can be used if the position of the peripheral is known but activation is not possible for any reason. When in Remove transmitter function, press the Extra button (B3) to enter the first position.
  • Page 39: Programming With Lpp/Hand

    When toggling Home/Away/Passive to Off the unit will do the following: • Stop Passive timer and remove any pending or ongoing passive events. • Remove configuration of Home alarm type from Extra button (B3). • Ensure unit is in Home mode. Programming with LPP/HAND NOVO models with PSTN can be programmed with Local Programming Protocol (LPP) if they are not configured to communicate with CMP.
