1.2 System Features

Your PowerMax offers a large number of unique features:

• 30 individually-named zones: Each protected zone is

identified not only by number but also by name (ask your

installer to assign appropriate names to your zones).

• Multiple arming modes: AWAY, HOME, AWAY-

INSTANT, HOME-INSTANT and LATCHKEY.

• Liquid crystal display (LCD): Plain-language status

information and prompts are displayed on the front panel

in large, clear letters.

• Real-time clock: The present time is visible on the right

side of the display.

• Various reporting destinations: Events are reported

automatically to central monitoring stations, private

telephones of your choice and even to a pager.

• Selective reporting: Your installer can determine what

type of event will be reported to which destination.

• Latchkey mode: An automatic “Latchkey” message is

sent to chosen telephones if the system is disarmed by a

“latchkey” user (a junior family member, for instance).

• Spoken announcements and instructions: Status-

dependent, pre-recorded verbal messages are heard

over the built-in loudspeaker (if the voice prompts are

enabled - see Para. 7.8).

• Message exchange: Before leaving the premises, you

may record a short verbal message for other users of the

system who may arrive later. Upon arrival, you can listen

to verbal messages left by others for you.

• Keypad and wireless control: Full control from the

keypad; major functions can be carried out by pressing

buttons on hand-held miniature transmitters.

• Access from remote telephones: You may access the

PowerMax from a remote telephone and Arm/Disarm it

or receive system status information.

• Numerical keys serve as function keys: In the

disarmed state, numerical keys are used to control

various system functions. A simple icon on each key

identifies the task of that key.

• Electrical device control: Lights and electrical

appliances can be controlled if optional X-10 modules

are used. The electrical cabling network of the building

carries the control signals. Your installer will determine

the control means in accordance with your needs.

• PGM remote control: Gate control mechanisms,

courtesy lights and various other devices can be switched

on and off via a special PGM (programmable) output.

Your installer will determine the control means, in

accordance with your needs.

• Data Retrieval: You can get status information, trouble

information and review memorized alarm events - visually

and verbally.

• Looking after elderly, physically handicapped and

infirm individuals: The system can be programmed to

monitor activity within the protected area and send out

an alert message if the person under surveillance

remains still for too long.

• Distress calls: Miniature pushbutton transmitters dealt

out to specific individuals may be used for sending

emergency calls for help.

• Disarming under duress: If a user is forcibly compelled

to disarm the system, he can use a special code that

disarms the system apparently as usual, but sends a

silent alarm to the central station (see Para. 2.11F).

• System supervision: All wireless detectors within the

protected site send periodic supervision messages. If

such a message is overdue, the PowerMax displays an

‘inactivity’ trouble message. Your installer can disable

this feature if so desired.

• Battery supervision: You do not have to worry about

‘dead’ batteries. The PowerMax displays a ‘Low Battery’

message whenever a battery in a wireless device is

found to be near the end of its useful life.

1.3 Terms of the Trade

Better understanding of your system is assured if you take

time to read the definitions in APPENDIX A at the end of

this manual. However, if this is not your first alarm system,

then simply read on.
