Accutech Systems alert facility personnel of
alarms using a variety of audial and visual
devices.
Alarm Definitions
There are five different types of alarm outputs:
 Egress alarm
 Door Ajar alarm
 Loiter alarm
 System Supervisor
 Band Removal Alarm
Egress Alarm
In this manual, Egress alarms are referred to as
“Alarms.” These alarms do not automatically
reset once the Tag leaves the monitored zone or
the door has been closed. They are “latched”
once they have been triggered. This has been
done, by design, to ensure that all alarm
conditions are investigated and corrected by
facility staff.
An alarm (i.e., an Egress alarm) occurs
whenever a Tag enters a monitored zone and the
door is opened or a PIR is triggered. To clear
this alarm remove the Tag from the zone, close
the door and enter a valid code into the Keypad.
Door Ajar alarm
A Door Ajar alarm occurs when a door is open
for longer than the preset time. The door must be
closed and a Keypad Reset or JP16 (Door Ajar
Reset) is in place to clear this alarm.
Loiter Alarm
A Loiter alarm occurs when a Tag lingers in the
Tx Activation Field. Remove all Tags from the
Field and then enter a Keypad Reset or JP10
(Loiter Reset) is in place to clear this alarm.
System Supervisor
A Supervisor alarm occurs when the
performance of the system has been altered due
to tampering or inadvertent acts such as cut
wires, antenna damage or interference, etc. The
alarm will reset when the condition is corrected.
See page 3-6 for complete information.
Band Removal Alarm
A Band Removal alarm occurs when the BR42
Tag/band is removed or tampered with in any
way.
Alarm Output Capability
The alarm output connector on the Controller is
P9 on the printed circuit board.
The alarm outputs capabilities are as follows:
 The Egress Alarm: 11.2V DC.
 The Loiter Alarm: 10.2V DC
 The Door Ajar Alarm: 10.2V DC
 The System Supervise Alarm: 10.3V
DC
If you need more voltage or current than the
Controller can offer to trigger an independent
signaling device (not from Accutech), use a
relay with a coil that will respond to what the
Controller can offer plus separate power and
ground for the device.
