Installation manual

When the reset is required, Comfort automatically enables Engineer

access so that the Engineer may sign-in without the user needing to

authorise the access. Additionally, the engineer may be called by the

system if the user presses the function ‘0’ command and Alarm Type 30

has been programmed by the Engineer with Telephone number 8 prior.

Exit Terminator / Door Station Button

The doorbell may also be used as a ‘push-to set ‘ switch to truncate the

exit timer during arming of the system to Away or Holiday Modes. To

enable this function select Exit Termination check flag in CS-Xpress

under General Configuration or set Location 1692 to a value of 2. If an

external Door Station is not required or if more than one means of exit

termination are required (e.g. radio remote switch), a zone may be

assigned as the exit terminator. This circuit has a dual function of a

doorbell action and a final setting switch. Operation of this zone type

during the exit procedure will truncate the exit timer provided that all

other protected zones are clear. Operation of this circuit during Away

Modes will cause a dial-out if programmed within alarm type 25 to do

so. Operation while the system is unset will cause the Keypads to

sound and the home phones to ring (if ringer unit is installed).

Note: Response 67 MUST be entered as the zone ‘ON’

response for the above functionality.

Bell Delay (Siren Delay)

Some systems may be required to have a bell delay stipulated by the

Police authorities. If this is the case Comfort can accommodate this by

setting the Bell Delay in minutes into location 51 and set the ‘siren

delay’ flag within the relevant the alarm types such as ‘Intruder’ or

‘Duress’ using Engineer Menu ‘2’ option ‘5’ or CS-Xpress ‘Alarm Types’.

Abort / Open and Close Signalling

Comfort systems may be programmed to send an abort signal to the

central station should the alarm be disarmed within 90 seconds of an

alarm activation and/ or signal that the system has just been armed or

disarmed. Abort(20) and System Set(19) and System Open(17) are

alarm types found in the alarm types in Engineer Menu 2. To enable

reporting simply set each one to dial-out to telephone numbers 1 and 2,

and refer to table 18. The signalling protocol used should be Contact ID.

Alternatively, outputs may be used to trigger an open and close signal

via a RedCARE STU or DualCom transmitter.
