ATS 2000/3000/4000/4500 Programming manual 99
Alarm group restriction 7 –
Emergency:
Special function for Security
Guards on a guard tour who need
to check in at certain intervals.
• As alarm group restriction 1 – 6, except that
when the timer expires and the areas re-
arm, an “Emergency” message is reported
to the central station.
Alarm group restriction 8 -
Counter:
Special Function: User count for
each area
• When the users enter their code to re-arm,
the user count for each area decreases by
one.
• The display always shows the user count.
• The area can be armed by the users by re-
entering their code to arm, provided the user
count for each of the areas to be armed, is
down to 1 before the code is entered. i.e.
The next code reduces the count to 0 and
arm the area(s).
• Timers do not operate for alarm group
restriction 8.
• Can count a maximum of 255 users per
area.
2. Arm/Reset of areas
Only arm/reset functions apply to areas assigned to an alarm group and programmed as
Areas to arm/reset in Alarm group restriction menu. When a user enters a code, it arms
the programmed areas, regardless of any timers running (but cannot disarm), or it resets
alarms in the programmed areas.
3. Timed disarm and arm/reset
Both time disarm and arm/reset functions apply to areas assigned to an alarm group and
programmed both as Timed disarm areas and Areas to arm/reset.
When a user enters a code, all the timed disarm functions apply except when re-entering
a code the arm/reset function applies and the system is armed regardless of any timers
running.
4. No alarm group restriction assigned
Areas assigned to an alarm group, but not included in the alarm group restriction menu,
have standard alarm system control functions as specified in the alarm group. e.g. code
[ON]/[OFF] to arm/disarm etc.
 1. Program the length of time that the timer runs for in Timers (page 61), or the
Area database (page 36). If the timer is set to zero, the alarm group restriction
does not time out. The alarm group restriction functions in exactly the same way
except a timer does not run and therefore does not arm areas on expiry.
 2. Program the warning time that appears on the display and sounds an audible
alert in Timers (page 61).
