INTRODUCTION

• Access from remote telephones: You may
access the PowerMax Pro from a remote
telephone and Arm/Disarm it or receive system
status information.
• Numerical keys serve as function keys: In the
disarmed state, numerical keys are used to control
various system functions. A simple icon on each
key identifies the task of that key.
• Electrical device control: Lights and electrical
appliances can be controlled if optional X-10
modules are used. The electrical cabling network
of the building carries the control signals. Your
installer will determine the control means in
accordance with your needs.
• PGM remote control: Gate control mechanisms,
courtesy lights and various other devices can be
switched on and off via a special PGM
(programmable) output. Your installer will determine
the control means, in accordance with your needs.
• Data retrieval: You can obtain status information,
trouble information and review memorized alarm
events - visually and verbally.
• Looking after elderly, physically handicapped
and infirm individuals: The system can be
programmed to monitor activity within the
protected area and send out an alert message if
the person under surveillance remains still for too
long.
• Distress calls: Miniature pushbutton transmitters
dealt out to specific individuals may be used for
sending emergency calls for help.
• Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly
compelled to disarm the system, he can use a
special code that disarms the system apparently as
usual, but sends a silent alarm to the central station
(see chapter 2).
• System supervision: All wireless detectors and
wireless commanders within the protected site send
periodic supervision messages. If such a message
is overdue, the PowerMax Pro displays an
‘inactivity’ trouble message. Your installer can
disable this feature if so desired.
• Battery supervision: You do not have to worry
about ‘dead’ batteries. The PowerMax Pro displays
a ‘Low Battery’ message whenever a battery in a
wireless device is found to be near the end of its
useful life.
