Pyronix ATLAS 8 PLUS, Installation Manual

 
7 FUNCTIONS

 
Volume Control  This is only accessible when the front cover has been removed and will only affect the volume of any 
 

extension speakers. The volume control is overridden when the panel is in an alarm state. 

 
Chime   

Chime function applies to ‘day’ mode only and if selected will cause the panel to generate a three-note  
sound when an entry/exit zone is triggered. This feature is to inform the occupants of the building  

that some one has entered / exited. 

 
Door Bell 

The push to set input may also be used to operate the extension speaker chime as a door bell feature. 
The Push to Set does not have to be enabled. 

 
Event Log 

The Atlas control panel incorporates a memory log of the last 256 alarm events and is accessible  

to both Users and the Engineer. It will record Fire, Intruder, Personal Attack and Tamper alarms and 

also show if any of the 8 alarm zones have been triggered or omitted. The Engineer can set the  

clearing of the log for either Engineer-only or Master User and Engineer. 

Time and Date information can be viewed via a P.C. 

 
Auto Re-sets 

After an alarm the panel will automatically reset itself when the bell timer has expired.  

Any zones, which still remain triggered at that time, will be omitted automatically.  The re-sets can be  
programmed between continuous and 9 re-sets. 

 
Walk test 

The walk test function allows each of the set modes to be checked in order to verify that all the  
intruder detectors on the alarm system are functioning correctly. When undergoing a walk test the  
Engineer or Master / Manager User can choose which of the set-modes they wishe to test. Any zones  
used in that set-mode will cause a chime at the RKP or extension speaker if they are triggered. 

Keypress  
Time-out  

There is  a 60 second keypress time-out facility. If a key is not pressed within 60 seconds of the last 

keypress the keypress buffer is cleared. 

 
Duress Code

This feature allows the user to either set or unset the alarm with the last two digits of the code  
reversed, this will then send a duress code to the alarm receiving centre. 

The panel will appear normal when the duress code is active. 

 
Timed Exit: 

This function enables the normal countdown timer facility for exiting the premises. 

 
Final Door: 

When programmed any zone programmed as Entry/Exit, will when opened and closed set the system. 

 
Push to Set: 

This function enables the system to be set at the keypad but the system will not arm until a remote 
switch is pressed and all zones are closed. 

 
Programmable 

Outputs (PGM)  There are 2 programmable outputs which may be programmed for any of the following 8 options: 
 

Remote LED Enable:  
This option will allow the PIR LEDs to be enabled during Walk test mode if they have been originally disabled by 
removing the link pin. This option will only work if the PIR has a remote LED enable facility (e.g. Pyronix 
Enforcer Super). 

Latch Memory:  
This feature is useful when more than one detector is connected to a single zone.  When the panel is set the  
LEDs of any triggered detector on this zone   will latch causing their LEDs to flash on and off when the panel is  
unset. This feature will only work if the PIR has a Latch Memory facility. E.g. Pyronix Enforcer Super. 

User Code 7 Operates 5 Seconds Switch Output:  
This option will allow the programmable output to act as a momentary switch. This could be used for example  
to unlock an electronic door.  When assigned the user code 7 can no longer be used to set or unset the system. 

Panel Set / Unset Switch Output:  
By using this option the programmable output will switch as the panel is set and unset. This may be used for 
example to electronically lock a door as the panel is set and unlock it when the panel is unset. 

Follow Zone:  

This option will allow the programmable output to switch on and off as the programmed zone is entered and  
exited. 
 
Follow Line Fail:   
This option will allow the programmable output to switch on when a line fail occurs and switch off when the line
