3 Operation
3.1Programs
The Avanti provides the facility for up to 3 programs that can be selected by entering the A, B or * keys after entering the user code when setting the system. The * program is used for Full Set. If no program is selected when setting the system the Avanti will default to Program *.
When setting up the programs the function of each zone can be changed i.e.: - Immediate, Timed, Time Inhibited or Exit mode.
3.2 Operating
Setting the System
To set the system a user code (4 digits) must be entered and a program selected (A,B or * [Full Set]). If no program is selected within 5 seconds then the Avanti will default to Program * (Full Set).
The exit timer will begin and a series of bleeps will sound.
Unsetting the System
To UNSET the system a user code must be entered, this will return the panel to DAY mode. If the external siren is sounding then entering the user code will silence the sounder. All that is required to reset the system is to enter a user code.
Fault during setting
If the system is unable to SET then the internal sounders will make a different bleeping sound. The fault on the system will be indicated by the relevant zone/PA/tamper LED being lit.
Omitting Zones
To omit a zone a user code must be entered followed by Z and then the zone number(s) to be omitted. The zone(s) chosen to be omitted will be indicated by the relevant zone LED being toggled off. A program should then be selected. If a program is not selected then the panel will default to Program *.
Quick Set
This feature allows the panel to be SET so that it overrides the programmed exit time. Entering a User code, selecting Program A/B or * and then pressing
will cause the panel to SET within 2 seconds.
3.3 | Access Codes |
| |
Avanti has the following access codes: | |||
1x | Engineer Access code. | 1x Holiday Access code. | |
1x | Manager Access code | 4x User Access codes. | |
Engineer Access Code – cannot be used to SET or UNSET the panel, it can only be used to configure the system and view the Event Log. Therefore it can only be used from within DAY mode.
Manager Access Code – is used to SET and UNSET the system. It also has the ability to change all other access codes except for the engineers. The Manager is also able to view the Event Log, test the system and programme Chime for any zone.
Holiday Access Code – the purpose of this code is to allow access to the property whilst the manager is absent. The Holiday Access Code is programmed by the Manager and is only valid until the Manager UNSETS the system. At this point the Holiday Access Code becomes invalid and is no longer accepted by the control panel.
User Access Code – allows the User to SET and UNSET the system. Any User can also program Chime.
Additionally RS Panels have individual duress codes for the Users, Holiday and Manager.
Duress is only accessible in SET. Entering a user code followed by the first digit within 1 to 1.5 seconds will activate a silent PA. i.e.: - 0 1 2 3 0
3.4Keypad tamper
When the control panel is in SET, the Keypad tamper will be activated after 20 invalid key presses. A full alarm condition will then be created. (If you are using an RS Panel fitted with a communicator then a signal will also be sent.)
3.5Entry Exit timers
The entry and exit timers have been factory set for 30 seconds. If you require more or less time then these timers can be programmed independently via the keypad in increments of 1 second from immediate to 99 seconds.
3.6On Board PA
Simultaneously depressing key’s 4 and 8 will activate a PA thus creating a full alarm condition. This feature can be used when the system is in DAY mode or SET. (If you are using an RS Panel fitted with a communicator then a signal will also be sent.)
3.7 Service timer
The Avanti has provision for a service timer, which once selected is fixed at 900 closings. When expired the tamper LED will flash intermittently. The expiration of the service timer will not disable the control panel.
3.8Non Volatile Memory (NVM)
The NVM circuit stores and protects the access codes and system configuration information. To clear there are two methods. i.e.: -
Method 1 From engineering mode pressing * twice within 2 seconds will cause the panel to revert to factory defaults whilst retaining the engineers access code.
Method 2 Remove power and remove link/wires between T and A. Link Set+ to T with lid tamper closed and power up the panel. The Avanti will retain all information but will clear the engineer and manager access codes.
3.9Confirmed alarms (RS models only)
To reduce the level of false alarms the Avanti will only send a confirmed signal to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) when 2 or more zones have been activated sequentially.
3.10Double knock
The Avanti range of panels can be programmed for double knock. When a zone is activated a 10 minute timer will begin, if during this time the same or another zone is activated a full alarm condition will be caused. A zone active for 10 seconds will also cause an alarm condition.
3.11 Bell follow
Bell Follow Off – If the system is activated then once the bell has expired the strobe will continue to flash until the system is reset.
Bell Follow On – If an alarm condition is caused then the strobe will cease to flash at the same time as the bell stops sounding.
