9 Siren Module – Future Option Unavailable with initial release.
The siren module is a self powered 128 dB swept audio oscillator. It is intended as a deterrent device much
like the smoke generator to warn the crook of imminent staining. It is readily audible outside the
immediate area of the attack to alert onlookers and possible witnesses. Once activated the siren will require
battery replacement before proper operation can be insured.
10 Remote/ Local System Reset Signal – Future Option Unavailable with initial release.
The MCU has an input reserved for a signal which allows the Octopus ATM system to be reset to the
lowest threat level, allowing authorized personnel the ability to open the ATM without fear of staining the
money. This circumvents the alert time-out which usually takes from 60 to 90 minutes to allow access.
This input event is currently used in the Canadian version to allow the monitoring of the ATM bolt/lock
assembly.
11 Status Web Client Server Interface – Future Option Unavailable with initial release.
Along with the RS232 interface, a remote SBC (Single Board Computer) may be used to remotely monitor
the Octopus system and remotely command authorized access, system reset, or remote activation of a
security device like the siren or smoke.
