CONTROL PANEL

The DUAL 824P Control Panel is the heart of the system. It monitors all of the system's wireless sensors, hardwired loops, and controls the alarm sirens and Model DUAL 824KP hardwired keypads.

The Control Panel constantly monitors the condition of the system's sensors and hardwired contacts, displaying which protected doors and windows are open or closed. If an alarm occurs, the keypads display which sensor(s) caused it. When a sensor has a low battery, the keypads display which sensor needs a new battery. Sensors that send hourly status transmissions keep the Control Panel informed of their operating condition.

Up to eight different custom user codes can be used to operate the system. For security, a user code must be entered to disarm (turn off) the system. The system can be armed (turned on) by entering a user code, or with the unique “Quick Arm” feature. The five restricted user codes and the special page alert user code can only arm and disarm the system, no programming changes (except changing user and duress codes) are allowed. The master user code is allowed to program the Control Panel, and a duress code can be selected for emergency disarming of the system with a duress report to the Central Station. The page alert user code can dial a pager number to inform the pager wearer when the system is disarmed.

The Control Panel's memory will retain the user codes and all of the system's programming, even during a total power loss. An optional backup battery can be installed to power the system during short power failures.

The built-in digital communicator connects the Control Panel to a Central Alarm Monitoring Station through the telephone. With a monitored system, the central station can dispatch authorities in case of burglary, fire or other emergency. The central station can also call family, friends, neighbors, or anyone else designated on a custom call list. System arming (closing) and disarming (opening) reports by user can also be sent.

Each sensor can report directly to the Central Station using the digital communicator's Point ID feature. If a sensor triggers an alarm or experiences supervisory trouble, a unique report code can be sent for immediate identification of the event.

The optional Model VB-2 digital voice response module can be installed in the Control Panel. The VB-2 module provides three exciting features: 2-way audio monitoring capability at the Central Station through the communicator, local voice prompts from the keypad's speaker (with Model RSM-2 speaker/microphone kit installed), and voice prompted remote system control using in-house or off-site pushbutton telephones.

The system has 24-hour capabilities that are always ready to operate, even when the system is disarmed. They can be triggered by buttons on the hardwired keypads, a wireless keypad, portable remote controls, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors. Pressing the EMERGENCY or FIRE button for two seconds will cause an immediate siren and call the central station. IMPORTANT: For personal emergency use only. Not for use as a UL Listed Medical Alert System.

The Control Panel's Environmental feature is active 24-hours and can be triggered with sensors connected to devices such as water flow detectors, over/under temperature sensors, flood sensors, etc. The Environmental feature activates the chime annunciator without sounding the siren. The Environmental feature does not send communicator reports.

An Automation Output in the Control Panel provides an easy way to connect external devices to the Control Panel. The output is fully programmable to activate on a variety of conditions, such as when the system is armed, during alarms, and during exit/entry delays. The Automation Output can connect to lighting control modules, relays, noisemakers, and indicators. The Control Panel's and wireless keypad's key and any system sensors can control the Automation Output.

The Control Panel can be programmed locally using its own keypad or remotely, over the telephone, using Linear's Model RA-2400 Remote Access software program. The RA-2400 upload/download program is a Windows™ application that runs on a personal computer and communicates with the Control Panel through a modem, connected directly to the panel, or through the telephone line.
