6. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS 

6.1 Looking after People Left at Home 

An important characteristic of the PowerMax+ is its ability 

to function in a mode contrary to the usual behavior of an 

alarm system. When the system is in the disarmed state 

(or even when armed “HOME” with perimeter protection 

only), it can keep track of in-house activity and will report 

lack of motion in interior zones if there is no detection of 

motion within predetermined time limits. 
To use this characteristic, you must ask your installer to 

program a specific time limit beyond which lack of motion 

will be reported as a “not active” alert.  
To make things clear, let us assume that an elderly, sick or 

handicapped person is left unattended in a protected site. 

This person, disabled or sick as he may be, will not stay 

entirely still for hours. It is only natural that even while 

being asleep he will turn over in his bed from time to time. 

He might also wander into the kitchen to eat or drink, or to 

the bathroom for other necessities. Upon doing so, the 

bedroom, bathroom and kitchen motion detectors will 

detect his movement.  
If, for example, the “lack of motion” time limit is set by your 
installer to 6 hours, a virtual 6-hour clock will carry out a 6-
hour “countdown”. 
If motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame, the 

countdown will restart from the beginning (the virtual 6-hour 

clock will be “reset”) and no alert message will be sent out. 
If no motion is detected within the 6-hour time frame in any 

interior zone, the control panel will send a “not-active” 

alert message to the central monitoring station or to private 

telephones designated by the installer.  
IMPORTANT!  In addition,  you may provide the person 

6.2 Emergency Calls for Help

  

Suppose the disabled person discussed in Para. 6.1 above 

has an accident such as falling in the bathtub without being 

able to get up. It might take hours before the “No Active” 

alert is sent out, but he (or she) must be assisted much 

sooner. 
Even though the odds for such an accident are not high, it 

is advisable to provide the disabled person with a 

miniature, single-button pendant-type or wristwatch-type 

transmitter. Pressing the button on this transmitter will 

cause the PowerMax+ to send an “emergency call” to the 

central monitoring station or to private telephones 

designated by the installer. 
To make this possible, ask your installer to define one of 

the 28 zones of the PowerMax+ as an emergency zone. 

Then, obtain one of the transmitters listed below and link 

this transmitter’s ID code to the emergency zone.  
Compatible distress transmitters are (see Fig. 5): 
MCT-201 - pendant-type (not listed by UL) 
MCT-211 - wristwatch-type (not listed by UL) 
MCT-101 - pocket-type (not listed by UL) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.3 Remote Control by Telephone 

 

A. Establishing Telephone Communication  

You can access the PowerMax+ system from a remote 

telephone and perform arming and disarming, activation 

and deactivation of electrical devices and the auxiliary 

output (PGM), record, playback and erase a voice 

message, and investigate the system status. The process 

is shown in the next illustration. 

1.   Dial the PowerMax+ tel. No. 

   
   
   

2.  Wait for 2-4 rings then hang up. 

3.   Wait 12-30 sec. 

4. Redial PowerMax+ tel. No. 

(Sound will be heard for 10 

sec.)

The system will start to function in the "LISTEN IN" mode, 

letting you hear the sounds within your residence for 50 

seconds. If the person under surveillance happens to 

speak or cry then, you will hear this. You can switch the 

system to Listen-In, Speak Out or Full Duplex, as shown 

in the next table.
