D-303973 PowerMaxExpress Installer's Guide 43
24 Hour Zone - Audible. - Upon detection, this zone
initiates a siren alarm. The PowerMaxExpress also dials
telephone numbers and reports the event to central
stations and/or to private telephones, as programmed.
E14. Key Zones (Optional)
Key zones are zones that can be used for arming and
disarming the system by MCT-100 and MCT-102
PowerCode transmitters that are enrolled to a zone. In
addition, the alarm system may be armed / disarmed by a
keyswitch when connected to wired zones 29 and 30.
Defining a zone as a KEY ZONE includes the following actions:
a. The zone should be defined as non-alarm type zone
(see par. 4.3).
b. "Z-KEY ENABLE" should be selected for such a zone
(see par. 4.3).
c. According to the zone number, "z. 21-28 enable", "z.29-
30 enable", or "z. 21-30 enable" should be selected in
the DEFINE PANEL menu (see par. 4.4.39).
E15. Guard Zones
A Guard-box is a metal safe (usually) containing the
physical keys needed to enter the building. Following an
alarm, the safe becomes available to a trusted Guard who
can open the Guard-box, obtain the keys and enter the
secured premises. The Guard zone functions like a 24-
hour audible zone, except that following a short time
period after an alarm, the alarm is disabled (to allow
access to the safe by a Guard).
Note: Opening or closing the Guard-box causes the
PowerMaxExpress to send notification to the monitoring
station.
E16. Outdoor Zones
An Outdoor Zone is used mainly for outdoor areas where
an activated alarm does not indicate intrusion into the
house. When the detector that is assigned to the Outdoor
Zone detects a disturbance, it triggers an alarm and
reports it to private phones, but does not report the alarm
to the Central Station.
Note: Outdoor / Monitored zones are not part of the
confirmed alarm sequence on UK panels.
Note: If a Tower-20 MCW is installed and the Masking Event
Reported as Tamper option is enabled (DIP switch 4 = ON),
the PowerMaxExpress identifies the masking event as a
tamper in all instances.
APPENDIX F. PowerMaxExpress Compatible Devices
F1. PowerMaxExpress Compatible
Detectors
Each detector compatible with the PowerMaxExpress
system is packed with its own installation instructions.
Read them carefully and install as indicated.
A. PIR Motion Detectors
The wireless passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors used
in the system are of the PowerCode type. The
PowerMaxExpress is capable of “learning” each detector’s
identification code and linking it to a specific zone (see
par. 4.3 in this Guide). Some units are shown below:
Note: K-940 MCW, Discovery K9-80/MCW and NEXT
®
K9-85 MCW are pet immune units.
In addition to its unique 24-bit identification code, each
detector transmits a message, containing status information:
The detector is in alarm (or not).
The detector is being tampered with (or not).
The battery voltage is low (or normal).
“This is a supervisory message”.
If any of these detectors detects motion, it sends out a
message to the alarm control panel. If the system is in the
armed state, an alarm will be triggered.
MCT-100 is a PowerCode device used
mainly as a wireless adapter for 2 regular
magnetic switches installed on 2 windows in
the same room. It has two inputs, behaving
as separate wireless transmitters with
different PowerCode IDs. Each input sends
(or does not send) a “restored“ message to
the alarm system, depending on the setting
of an on-board “DIP” switch.
