INTRODUCTION
SA5 5
This is an independent service not provided by
Friedland, (see enclosed leaflet for details).
LATCH KEY
When the system is disarmed the Latch-Key facility, if
enabled, will call the first latchkey phone number and
replay the user message (recorded under user setup)
for the set ‘Play Time’. The recipient must acknowledge
the message by pressing the button on their
telephone keypad. If the call is unanswered or an
acknowledgment is not received then the second
latchkey phone number will be called. The voice dialer
will continue calling each number in turn until each
number has been dialed the set number of times or the
sequence is cancelled/acknowledged by the recipient.
For example, the latchkey facility is useful to inform
parents that a child has returned from school and
disarmed the system.
ANSWER PHONE
The Control Panel includes an answer-phone facility.
The answer phone will record and store a maximum of
6 messages with each message being limited to a
30s duration.
Messages may be retrieved either direct from the
Control Panel or by dialing into the system from
a
phone.
VOICE MEMO
In addition it is also possible to record messages
at the Control Panel using the ‘Voice-Memo’ facility.
Eachvoice-memo message is limited to a maximum
duration of 30s and counts as an answer phone
message.
REMOTE PHONE ACCESS
AND CONTROL
It is possible to dial into the system via the connected
telephone line to interrogate the system status and to
have basic control over the system, (e.g. to Arm and
Disarm the system). You may also activate the
microphone on the control panel to Listen-In to what
is happening in the protected property.
Answer phone and Voice-memo messages may also
be accessed remotely.
TAMPER PROTECTION
All system devices (except any Remote Control
Units) incorporate Tamper protection features to
protect against unauthorised attempts to interfere
with the device.
Any attempt to remove the battery cover from any
device (except a Remote Control) or to remove the
Solar Siren or Control Panel from the wall will initiate
an alarm condition (unless the system is in Test or
Programming modes), even if the system is Disarmed.
JAMMING DETECTION
In order to detect any attempts to illegally jam the
radio channel used by your alarm system, a special
jamming detection function is incorporated into
the Control Panel and Solar Siren. If this feature
is enabled, and the radio channel is jammed
continuously for 30 seconds, when the system is
armed, the Solar Siren will emit a pre-alarm series of
rapid bleeps for 5 seconds. If the jamming continues
for a further 10 seconds or more a full alarm condition
will occur. In addition if the system is jammed for
more than three periods of 10 seconds in a 5 minute
interval, this will also generate a Full Alarm condition.
The jamming detection features in the Control Panel
and Solar Siren operate independently.
The Jamming Detection circuit is designed to
permanently scan for jamming signals. However, it is
possible that it may detect other local radio
interference operating legally or illegally on the same
frequency. If it is planned to operate the jamming
detection feature we recommend that the system is
monitored for false jamming alarms for at least 2
weeks prior to leaving the Jamming Detection function
permanently enabled.
Note: The jamming detection features incorporated
into the Control Panel and optional Solar Siren operate
independently.
BATTERY MONITORING
All devices powered by non-rechargeable batteries
incorporate a battery level monitoring feature which will
warn of a low battery status. In addition the Control
Panel will also indicate a low battery status within any
Passive Infra-Red or Magnetic Contact Detector on the
system. The batteries on any device indicating a low
battery status should be replaced immediately.
