Ness D8xD Alarm Panel - guidance for a complete novice!
Hi guys, I'm hoping some folk here can give me some pointers.
I've replaced my old home system with a Ness D8xD. It all works fine, I like the LCD touch screens. I can't get my head around how to configure it to do what I want.
I have the the 'full arm' working well with all door reeds + an internal PIR. It works great for when we leave the house.
At night I want to arm the perimeter only and ignore the internal PIR. To do this I am using the 'Home' mode.
I have disabled the PIR and it works well. I have two issues.
1) when arming the 'home' mode it runs an exit delay - I'd prefer it just arm immediately - it seems I can set it to use delay 2 timer and I may be able to set this to 0 or at least 1 (10 seconds).
2) when in the home mode if a perimeter sensor is triggered it starts the entry delay. I want it to alarm (siren/strobe) immediately. I cannot work out how to do this.
As I said I'm a complete newb on this....................
Hi. Since it's a Ness and widely available....
Home Mode
Home Mode allows selected zones to be armed
while the system is disarmed. For example, this
is often used to arm door and windows sensors
overnight, while allowing free movement within
the premises.
1. Home Mode will not arm if Area 1 is armed.
2. Home Mode will not arm if there are no
Home zones programmed, (P51E).
3. User codes assigned only to Area2
can arm but will not disarm Home Mode.
4. Zones which are to be armed in Home Mode
are selected using option P51E.
5. Home Mode can be armed by Keypad,
Radio Key or Access Card.
6. Audible outputs in Home Mode (set by
options P63E 1E-4E) are independent of
audible outputs in fully armed mode.
7. If dialler reporting is enabled, Home Mode
alarms will be reported as normal providing
that:
a/ The zone/s are selected to report alarms
by option P74E.
b/ Options P64E 1E & 3E are off. (Brief
Home Alarm, Home Entry Delay2).
8. Zones selected to be Entry Delay1 zones
also have entry delay in Home Mode.
9. If Home Zones Entry Delay2 (P64E 3E) is
enabled, then all Home zones will have entry
delay as set by P27E.
Here's the manual
If following this doesn't make sense, grab a local technician to sort it for you. They will fix that and more.
