READING ALARM MEMORY AND TROUBLE DATA
18 DE5468U
5. Reading Alarm Memory And Trouble Data
Reviewing Alarm/Tamper Memory
The PowerMax Pro retains in its memory alarm and
“tamper” events that occurred during the last arming period.
For PowerMax Pro that includes partition option: In
order to review alarm and tamper events of a specific
partition, you need to select the desired partition(s),
(please refer to Partition Selection Process).
Note: Alarms enter the memory only after expiry of the
“abort period” (see Appendix A). This means that if you
disarm the system immediately - before the abort period
expires - there will be no memory indication
A. Alarm / Tamper Indications
When the memory contains at least one event and
the system is in the disarmed state, a flashing MEM
message will be displayed, as exemplified:
READY HH:MM
(alternating)
READY MEMORY
or, if the system is not ready for arming -
NOT READY HH:MM
(alternating)
NOT READY MEMORY

EXAMPLE 1
: An alarm was triggered because the
garage door - zone No. 12 – was opened but then
closed. In addition, the bedroom motion detector - zone
No. 7 - sent a “Tamper” message because its cover had
been removed.

other events retained in open tamper (if any), or
reverts to its initial state (see A above).

Reviewing Trouble Information
A. Trouble Indications
If TRBL flashes in the display, the TROUBLE
indicator illuminates, and 3 beeps are sounded once
per minute, you will have to investigate the system in
order to find out the origin and type of trouble.

The LCD will display the specific partition(s) along with
the specific zone number(s) of the location of the
trouble indication. The trouble types are as follows:

a two-way X-10 unit but the command
implementation confirmation (acknowledgement)
