Display message

If no sensor was taught in, the display shows no entry. For example, is all windows are closed, keine Meldungen (default message) appears in the display. If at least one window is open, e.g. FTK1 opened appears in the display. If a window with handle is tilted, e.g. FTK1 tilted appears in the display. If no telegram is received from cyclically send-ing FTKs, e.g. FTK1 no reception appears in the display. Press SET to browse through the display if several windows are open, for example. Other messages on receipt of alarm telegram: Smoke alarms FRW, FRWB and FHMB: smoke Water sensor FWS: water Motion detector

FBH : movement
FTR and FTF : too cold or too warm
FAFT : too dry or too wet
FCO2 : CO2-alarm
FLGTF : TVOC-alarm

If cyclically sending sensors are already taught in, the message wait until the sensors send appears in the display after a power outage. When the sensors have sent the messages, the standard display appears again. If a window handle sensor sends ‘low battery’, the message low battery appears in the display.

LED indicator:

green = no messages (e.g. all windows are closed)
yellow = at least one window is tilted
red = at least one window is open or sensor is not sending
red flickering = alarm

Switch on alarm standby:
(Alarm standby is automatically always active for smoke detectors and water sensors) Press up direction pushbutton (RT). The actu-ator is on standby. ON is signalled by an acou-stic signal sounding 3 times. If a monitored window is already open or if it is opened within 30 seconds after alarm standby is switched on, a cyclical signal sounds indicating the open window. When the window is closed, the signal stops immediately. After 30 seconds, incoming telegrams from taught-in sensors are evaluated and the alarm is switched on if the condition exists. After a power failure, the actuator returns auto- matically to alarm standby. Switch off alarm standby or switch off alarm: Press down direction pushbutton (RT), alarm standby is switched off or the alarm ends immediately.

OFF is indicated by a short acoustic signal. When an alarm occurs, an acoustic signal sounds at a rate of 1 second. After 3 minutes (the time is reset after every incoming alarm telegram), the acoustic signal ends automatically. If wireless window contacts or window handles are taught in, the alarm switches on after a response delay or 10 seconds when a window is opened. When the window is closed, the alarm does not end automatically. The message please acknowldg. alarm appears in the display. Switch off the alarm using ‘Press down direction push-button’. If wireless window/door contacts mTronic are taught in, the intelligent break-in detector is active even if alarm standby is switched off. If the window is open in locked and tilt position, the alarm sounds, the LED flickers red and the display shows alarm. If motion detectors are taught in, the alarm switches on after a response delay or 10 se-conds when a motion is detected. Switch off the alarm using ‘Press down direction pushbutton’.

If a smoke detector FRWB, FHMB or water sensor is taught in, the alarm switches on im-mediately when an incoming alarm telegram is received. In the event of an alarm end telegram, the alarm does not stop automatically. Switch it off using ‘Press down direction pushbutton’. When a bell pushbutton is pressed, an acoustic signal sounds at a rate of 2 seconds until the bell pushbutton is released, but it sounds at least 3 times. If a bell pushbut-ton is pressed continuously, the maximum bell sounds for 1 minute. Alarm has priority over bell.
