ADDITIONAL NOTES CONCERNING PANEL OPERATION
L DURESS ALARM FEATURE - A Duress alarm feature is available that will allow the user to
transmit a duress alarm to the central/monitoring station while simultaneously executing a valid
function or mode change. The Duress alarm feature must be activated by the serviceperson (see
Enable Duress variable, page 50).
To create a duress alarm, enter a zero (0) before your code and then press a valid function or
mode key (e.g., 0 + 1234 + FULL DISARM). The function will be executed and a silent duress
alarm sent to the central/monitoring station.
SMOKE DETECTOR RESET FEATURE - If you are using smoke detectors that latch up in
alarm and require temporary removal of DC power to allow them to reset, then you may use
C-LEM 19 to provide this power interruption. Connect the power feed to the smoke detectors
through the normally closed contacts of the C-LEM (see page 23).
When a fire alarm occurs and the panel is disarmed or the alarm condition is acknowledged,
FIRE ALARM panel relay output 2 is turned off and output C-LEM 19 will operate for
approximately five seconds and then reset. This will interrupt the power to the smoke detectors
allowing them to reset.
SPRINKLER TRANSFORMER - If the APLEX control panel is used to monitor a sprinkler
riser or a fire alarm panel, then the EUROPLEX Model 1055 sprinkler transformer must be used
to provide AC power to the panel.
