actions taken by the system during alarm activation, like whether it
dials out, and if so to which numbers, whether the siren and strobe is
turned on etc. The Siren Type determines the pattern and duration of
the sound.
This highly configurable system allows great flexibility in programming
a system, but it also simplifies programming because of default
settings. Programming consists of assigning words and Zone Types to
each zone. Zone Types , Alarm Types and Siren Types have defaults
which do not need to be changed unless there are special requirements.
Home Automation - Responses and Actions
Responses perform the Home Automation functions in the system. A
Response consists of Actions, each of which performs a specific
function, like turning an output on or off, sending an X10 command or
an Infrared code to a certain output, or arming and disarming the
security system. Hence a Response can perform a series of actions or
functions. Responses may be assigned to Zone activation and
deactivation, Time Programs, Holiday Programs, Alarm types, Home
Control Keys Settings, Security Mode changes, and Keypad Function
keys. The system has 255 Responses. Most Responses have default
Actions assigned to them, but all Responses may be redefined through
the Engineer voice menu. See the list of Default Responses in the
Worksheet.
Comfort has a comprehensive list of Actions which may be used for
programming. Refer to the booklet "Programming with Action Codes",
for the actions and their descriptions. There are actions for turning
outputs on and off, or pulsing outputs, sending Infrared codes from
any output, sending X10 codes, starting Timers, arming and disarming
the security system, bypassing zones, activating sirens, etc.
Zone-Activated Responses
Each zone can start a Response when it goes ON (activated), and
another Response when it goes off (deactivated). These Responses may
be used to turn on and off lights and appliances, cause announcements
or do other functions as required.
Alarm-Activated Responses
Each Alarm Type can start a Response when the alarm is activated.
These Responses may be used to perform supplementary functions in
the event of alarm activation.
Time Programs
There are 16 Time Programs which to enable functions to be activated
automatically at programmed times.
Each Time program consists of an Activation Time, days of the week for
activation, and a Response. A Time program can be specified for any
combination of days of the week (Monday to Sunday) as well as
Holidays. A Time program is activated if the current day of week is
