5. ALARM GROUPS
This program block is used to record information about alarm groups.
What is an alarm group:
An alarm group provides means to users, zones and arming stations to control the ATS
system regarding alarm functions (also called alarm control). Alarm groups have areas,
menu options, panel options and timezones.
Alarm groups are assigned to users, and to each piece of equipment on which the user
performs a function (arming stations, doors 17 to 64, and area control zone types 6, 31,
34 and 35). This provides enormous flexibility when determining a user’s access to, and
control of, the system.
!
You must be extremely careful when changing alarm groups.
Both the functions performed by users in that alarm group, and the functions available
at remote arming stations and door readers with that alarm group, are affected.
Important points when programming an alarm group:
A function that is provided to a user via their alarm group is only valid when:
• Program settings in other sections of the same alarm group allow it.
e.g.: Restricting alarm system control to Reset Only would be invalid unless
the alarm group has been allowed alarm system control in the first place. If
the record Restriction Reset Only is set to YES, the record Alarm System
Control must be set to YES.
• The user’s alarm group has the same program setting as the alarm group of the
RAS or door the user is using.
e.g.: If the record Prompt with List of Areas is set at YES in the user’s alarm
group, it must also be set at YES in the alarm group of the RAS or door. If it
is not, areas are not listed when arming/disarming.
• The user’s alarm group includes the areas assigned to the alarm group of the RAS
or door the user is using.
e.g.: If a user’s alarm group has areas 1,2 and 3 and the alarm group of the
RAS or door has areas 2 and 3, the functions for areas 2 and 3 only are
valid.
• The timezones assigned to both the user's alarm group and to the alarm group of
the RAS or door both have to be valid.
