i-on Range Installer Menu OptionsPage 89Zone TampersYes The user can reset the system after an alarm caused by a zone’stamper circuits being triggered.No The installer must reset the system after an alarm caused by a zone’stamper circuits being triggered. The alarm abort period does not apply.Note: This setting is required for INCERT approval.System TampersA system tamper can be caused by one of the following:Panel Lid Tampers Operating the combined lid/back tamper switch.Keypad Tampers Operating the lid/back tamper switches on the wiredkeypads.Radio Keypad Tampers Operating the lid/back tamper switches on the radiokeypads.External Sounder Tamper Applying a voltage higher than approximately 3V to the TRterminal.Jamming or Supervision Detecting Jamming or Supervision failure when either ofthese options are set to “Tamper” see page 100.The options available are:Yes The user can reset the system after an alarm caused by a tamper.No The installer must reset the system after a system tamper alarm.The alarm abort period does not apply.Note: This setting is required for INCERT approval.If something activates one of the above tampers when the system is set then the controlunit classifies this as an unconfirmed or confirmed alarm. The reset follows the alarm resetoption NOT the tamper.Remote Reset (RedCare Reset)If you select NO for any of the system tampers above then when that type of tamperoccurs the control unit enables the Remote Reset input pin on the plug-by connector. Afteran alarm the user may silence the sounders but to reset the system they must first contactthe ARC. The ARC (after verifying the user’s identity) can send a +12V signal to theRemote Reset input by way of the plug by communicator. On receiving the signal thecontrol unit allows the user to reset the system.If the ARC sends the +12V signal and it reverts back to 0V before the user resets thesystem then the control unit remembers that the signal has been sent and still allows theuser to reset the system using their normal access code.Confirmation (EUR Variants)If you are using an –EUR version of the control unit then the control unit will activate anyoutput programmed as “Confirmed Alarm” if a second zone is activated while the system isin alarm. The second zone must belong to the partition that is in alarm. The installer canalso select whether to allow users to reset the system after a zone alarm, see page 88.Notes:1. Confirmation works only when the Alarm Response is set to “Siren+Comms” (seepage 80).2. The European version of Release 4 does not support confirmed hold up alarm.
