3. RAS DATABASE
Arming stations are devices used to provide system control, such as arming or disarming of
areas. Depending on the type of arming station, additional functions can be available, such
as LCD displays, menus to set time and date etc. The term RAS is an abbreviation for
Remote Arming Station.
3.1. RAS to be polled
Each arming station has to be polled, in order to be used. Add RAS’s for polling by
entering the dipswitch address it has been given. RAS’s that do not have to be polled can
be deleted by entering the dipswitch address again.
Display shows the RAS’s currently recorded. A RAS number followed by a “,” is online
and followed by a “:” is offline (can not be addressed by the system).
 A RAS or DGP being online means it will generate RAS/DGP system alarms and
tamper alarms. When offline, system alarms and tampers will not occur.
3.2. Select RAS to program
Once the RAS’s have been selected for polling and [ENTER] has been pressed, the
RAS’s can be programmed.
3.2.1. Area alarm group
You need to define an alarm group to state which areas can be controlled from this RAS.
Only options which are both in the RAS’s alarm group and the users alarm group
can be performed on any RAS.
 See menu 5, Alarm groups on page 51 for further information on how alarm groups
operate.
3.2.2. Menu alarm group
The menu alarm group determines which actions are allowed on a RAS. If no alarm
control is allowed, this can be achieved in the menu alarm group. The menu alarm group
can also have more areas than the area alarm group. The user can have no alarm control
over those areas, but can for example see the status of zones in these areas.
If the menu alarm group is programmed for alarm group1 - No Access, then the arming
station will use the area alarm group as menu alarm group.
