System Option 1. The system may be configured for use with the following: 
 

Double Pole Zones: 

This is a normally closed zone configuration without end of line resistor. 

End of Line Zones: 

This configuration uses end of line resistors which allow both zone and  

tamper circuits on the same zone connection. 

User Log Reset Enable: 

This option allows the user to reset the system log by entering 

User Log Reset Disable:   By selecting this option only the engineer has the ability to reset the  

system log. 

Tone Dial: 

Select this option for telephone exchanges using tone dial technology. 

Pulse Dial: 

Select this option for telephone exchanges using pulse dial technology. 

Internal & External Sounders 

On Tamper Activation: 

This option will cause both internal and external sounders to activate on  

a tamper alarm when the panel is in day mode. 

  Internal 

Sounder Only On  

Tamper Activation: 

This option will cause only the internal sounder to activate upon a tamper 

alarm when the panel is in day mode. 

 
System Option 2. The system may be configured for use with the following: 
 
 

7 Day Test Dial:   

Dials the Central Monitoring Station every 7 days. 

24 Hour Test Dial: 

Dials the Central Monitoring Station every 24 hours. 

Dial In: 

This option will cause the Atlas 4 to respond to an incoming call in Answer  
Machine Compatible mode for a downloading or uploading operation. 

No Dial In: 

This option will cause the Atlas 4 to ignore incoming calls. The master user  
may generate a one hour time window to allow up/downloading by using  

the 

 function. If this option is selected - this will answer on a single 

ring. 

 Wide handshake filters: Gives a greater chance of the handshake from a 
central station being recognised, use only if the panel does not transmit data 
after the correct handshake sequence has been transmitted by the central 
station.  

Standard handshake filters: This setting is the default and will more reliably 
detect the correct handshake. 

Silent P.A. Zones: 

The P.A. zone activation will not generate internal or external sounders if  
this option is selected. Dial out will occur however if the panel has been  

     programmed 

to 

do 

so. 

Audible P.A. Zones: 

The  Personal  Attack  zone  activation will cause both internal and external 

sounders to operate. Dial out will also occur if the panel has been  
programmed to do so. 

 
Answer Machine Compatible "AMC mode": This provides a way of using the Atlas on the same line as an answering 
machine. The default setting is AMC on. To remotely access the Atlas in AMC mode dial in and wait for a single ring, 
then hang up and wait for at least 10 seconds, but no more than 40, then dial back in. The Atlas will now answer 
instantly. 
 
System Option 3. The system may be configured for use with the following:

N.V.M Reset:

     factory 

default
