SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
24 DE5468U
Since the PowerMax Pro can be programmed to
report events to a pager, the user of the pager must
be informed on how to interpret the numerical
message that his pager displays.
Communication with a pager takes place as follows:
• The PowerMax Pro dials the pager’s phone number,
waits 5 seconds and sends the numerical message.
• The message transmitted by the PowerMax Pro to
the pager is actually a string of digits, as follows:
[
X
X
X
X
X
X

Figure 6. Pager Message Structure
The person receiving the message sees only the
“YYY -0ZZ#” part of the message, which he can
interpret by using the following legend:
Events types (YYY) are coded as follows:
Event Code Event Code
Alarm 919 Fire 515
Trouble 818 Close 101
Emergency 717 Open 102
Panic 616 Latchkey 103
ZZ is the zone number in which the event occurred,
or the user number in case of Close
, Open and
Latchkey
events.
Example 1: Message reads “919-003”:
This means an alarm occurred in Zone No. 3.
Example 2: Message reads “101-008”:
This means the system was closed (armed) by user
No. 8.
Conducting a Walk-Test
The walk-test is an indispensable operation by which
you verify that all detectors function properly, without
disturbing the neighbors with loud sirens. The test
must be performed at least once a week, and
should include all detectors in all zones.
Before performing walk-test, all the detectors must
be in normal state. Normal state is achieved when no
motion is made for at least 2 minutes.
Note: During the test period, 24-hour zones will not cause
an alarm if violated, but a fire zone will function normally.
A typical test will take place as follows:
A. In older versions of the PowerMax Pro, press the
test button
, then proceed to step C.
In Partition PowerMax Pro, select the desired
partition (as described in Chapter 2: Partition
Selection Process). For example, for Partition 3
the display will read
P3 RDY HH:MM P
B. Click
.
The display will read:
WALK TEST
C. Click the button, the display will
prompt you for your user code:
ENTER CODE
_ _ _ _
D. Enter your code. The siren will sound for 2
seconds and the display will change to:
TESTING
E. Walk throughout the protected area and make
sure you trigger every detector with no exception
(move across the field of view of motion
detectors and open/close doors and windows).
Each time a detector is triggered:
• The “Happy Tune” will sound,
• The zone name and number will be displayed
briefly.
EXAMPLE 1: You triggered a motion detector in
the living room (zone 11). The display will show:
P3 LIVING ROOM

P3 Z11 VIOLATED
After 5 seconds the display will revert to:
TESTING
EXAMPLE 2: You opened a window in partition 3
in the guest room (zone 13). The display will show:
P3 GUEST ROOM

P3 Z1
3 OPEN
After 5 seconds the display will revert to:
TESTING
F. When done, click the button
repeatedly. The display will show the test results,
partition after partition and zone after zone, in
ascending numerical order. For example:
P3 GUEST ROOM
(alternating)
P3 Z13 OK
or: “P3 Z13 NOT OK” if there was no
response from Z13.
G. To resume testing, click
. To quit the test
mode, click
. The display will then read:
<OK> TO EXIT
H. Click . The display will revert to its
normal state.
