4.2 Entry / Exit Mode
Entry When the panel is set and an Entry / Exit zone is triggered the Entry / Exit timer will begin to
countdown. During this period an Entry / Exit tone (single repeated bleep) will be produced by the
internal sounder and any zones which are programmed as Access zones will be ignored.
If either user code is entered before the end of the count down period the panel will return to ‘day’
mode. If the timer is allowed to elapse before a user code is entered the panel will go into an alarm
state. In this case the system needs to be 'Reset'
Exit With the panel in ‘day’ mode, if a user code is entered the Entry / Exit timer will begin. If all the
Immediate zones are clear, then the Entry / Exit tone will be heard. Leave the protected area by the
predetermined Entry / Exit route. As you trigger Access zones the tone will change temporarily to a
repeated low tone. When all the zones are clear, the Entry / Exit tone will continue again until the end
of the time-out period. The panel will then be set.
5 ZONES
5.1 Engineer Programmable Zones
Entry / Exit This is a zone which allows limited-time access to the premises in order to set or unset the system.
Access This is a zone which, on setting the panel, allows access to the Entry / Exit zone. However, if the
panel is set and an Access zone is triggered before an Entry / Exit zone then an alarm will be
generated immediately.
Immediate This is a zone which will, when entered, create an alarm when the panel is set.
Omit If a zone is programmed as an Omitted zone by the Engineer, then it is ignored by the panel. It
allows the user to continue to use the alarm system even if a fault has been discovered on one or
more zones.
Personal Attack Triggering of the Personal Attack (P.A.) zone will always cause a full alarm activation regardless of
whether or not the panel is set. The P.A. zone may be programmed as silent. A silent P.A. activation
will not cause the bell and strobe to operate but the central station will be informed of P.A. activation.
Tamper The tamper zone may be programmed to give an internal siren or internal / external sounder in day
mode. In set mode both sounders will operate.
Fire Triggering of the fire zone will activate internal and external sounders. A fire alarm is identified by
a three note rising sound which is easily distinguished from all other tones.
NOTE: The Fire Zone is intended as an extra feature to the intruder alarm system and must not
be regarded as a total fire protection system.
24 Hour Zone Will cause an instant alarm when the panel is in day or set mode. (Fire, Personal Attack and
Tamper are all 24-hour zones).
Latched
Keyswitch A zone may be programmed as a latched keyswitch to set the System in any one of the set modes.
Momentary
Keyswitch A zone may be programmed as a momentary keyswitch to set the System in any one of the set modes.
6 DIAL OUT REPORTING
The Atlas 4 has the capability to send messages of alarm status to a Central Receiving Station. Every time the alarm
status changes i.e. System Set/Unset, System Fault or Alarm Actuation a message is sent to the Central Receiving
Station informing it of the status change. This is called Dial Out Reporting. Dial Out Reporting can be configured to
Group Reporting which allows different alarm status changes to be reported to two different locations, 4 groups are
available:
Group 1 - Alarms
Group 2 - Set/Unset
Group 3 - Maintenance
Group 4 - 24 Hour call test
This gives the engineer the ability to configure the system to only report condition changes to relevant locations.
i.e. one location could be informed of all status changes (Groups 1 to 4) while a second location could only be informed
of Group 1 conditions.
Confirmed Alarm This is an extra code which is set upon two different zones being activated in one set period. It is used
to signal that the alarm condition is less likely to be a false alarm.
