1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview

The PowerMax is a wireless alarm control system that

provides protection against burglary, fire and tampering. In

addition, it can be used to control lights and electrical

appliances within your household and/or to monitor the

activity of disabled or elderly people left at home. Status

information is presented visually and verbally, and in most

cases a recorded voice prompts you to take correct action.

The PowerMax is governed by a control panel (Figure 1)

designed to collect data from various sensors that are

strategically located within and along the perimeter of the

protected site (Figure 2).

In the disarmed state, the system provides you with visual

and verbal status information, and initiates an alarm if

smoke is detected or upon disturbance in a 24-hour zone

(a zone which is active 24-hours a day).

In the armed state, the system will initiate an alarm upon

detection of disturbance in any one of the armed zones.

You will need a 4-digit security code to master the system,

and you can authorize 7 other persons to use the system

by providing them with their own security codes. Moreover,

you can obtain up to 8 multi-function key-ring transmitters

that will allow you and other users to control major

functions without approaching the control panel.

The system identifies a wide range of events - alarms,

attempts to tamper with sensors and several types of

trouble. Events are automatically reported via the public

telephone network to central monitoring stations (in digital

form) and to private telephones (in plain language). The

person receiving such a message is expected to

investigate the event and act accordingly.
