4. Control parameters

NOTE: before starting the configuration of the device you must press the button CONNECT or READ SETTINGS. If these actions are not completed your parameters can be lost and you might need to restore factory default settings.
NOTE: to enable the changes in the device you must press the button WRITE SETTINGS.
NOTE: before saving the settings it is necessary to change the primary manufacturer password (0000). Otherwise the device will ignore commands sent from the computer.

4.1. Zone identification

When using security system EPIR with wireless devices that are located in different territories it is more comfortable for the user to give them different code-names. For instance, if one device is located at home and the other one - in the storehouse, they can be named respectively "Room" and "Storehouse". Then in the case of alarm the user will know which particular place is broken into and will be able to take appropriate action.

In the environment of Configuration Tool you can specify the name of central EPIR device in the section Control > Zone Status next to the line Zone1. You can enter up to 25 characters.

Also security system EPIR zones can be configured to work in any of the following modes:

Follow – this type of zone doesn't react and cause an alarm if activated during Delay mode (delay time to enter security code and disarm the system).
Instant – this type of zone immediately cause an alarm if it is activated. Usually this type of zones is used for doors, windows and other detectors.
Delay – this type of zone doesn't react to activation for 15 seconds and this time is set to disarm system via keypad. Also this type of zone are usually used to connect contacts of entry doors. When Delay zone isn't violated during arming process the system enters into Stay mode.
24H – this type of zone is used to connect sensors which must be monitored all the time, even when system is disarmed. Mostly these zones are used to connect tampers which detects when PIR or security panel box is opened.
Fire – this type of zone is used to connect smoke detectors and monitors all the time even if the system is disarmed. Fire zone alarm is pulse (with pauses).
Silent – this zone works as 24H zone and when it is violated, the system doesn't turn on the siren.

4.2. Virtual Zones

Virtual zones is used to virtually trigger system alarm and for test purposes. User can create virtual zone anytime if there is still empty spots for zones (system can handle up to 44 zones, which includes zones on board, wireless, virtual and EPGM zones).

Virtual zone is configurable in the same way as any other zone (zone on board, wireless and etc.) in the system. To create new virtual zone, press button Create New.... To remove virtual zone, select appropriate zone in virtual zones table and press button Remove Selected.

Zone Number – the code number of specified zone.

Zone Name – the code name/text of specified zone. If the specified zone is triggered, system sends to the user SMS message with the entered value. It is allowed to enter up to 24 symbols.

In the section Status it is indicated which zone will be activated (ON state) or deactivated (OFF state).

All security system ESIM264 zones can be configured to work in any of the following modes, which are represented in section Zone Type.

Entry Delay, s – This field is used to configure time which is dedicated to disarm the security system when users enters in the specified Delay zone. If system will not be disarmed in time, then it will cause an alarm. By default, this time is 15 seconds. This parameter can be adjusted only for Delay type zones.

4.3. Device control parameters

Level - setting detector sensitivity level. You can enter values from 20 to 99, where smaller number respectively means higher detector sensitivity level, i. e., when you enter 20 you will set the highest sensitivity level and when you enter 99 you will set the lowest possible sensitivity level. Factory default value is 40.

Alarm Time - the shortest period between the repeated alarm. It specifies how much time will pass until informational messages are repetitively sent and calls made in the case of reoccurring security alarm. The time unit is minute. Factory default value is 1 minute.

Exit Time - this field is used for setting the time that is dedicated for leaving the premises in which security is activated. The time is indicated in seconds. Factory default value is 15 seconds. When you set the value to "0", EPIR security system is activating without delay.

Low Battery report Enable - function enabling (check mark is selected) or disabling (check mark is not selected) the mode when the system sends informational SMS messages about the status of external power supply (its cut-off or reoccurrence). By default this function is enabled.

Battery Trouble Report Enable - when this function is enabled, system automatically informs user in case the battery is strongly needed to be changed.

Bell Squawk Enable - by enabling this feature the siren provides short beeps while the system is counting down the exit delay time (arming the security system). By default this parameter is disabled. This feature applies to wired sirens only.

LED Indication Enable - when this function is enabled, system LED lights up whenever a movement is detected while security system is armed. By default this feature is disabled.

Advanced configuration - function for adapting EPIR to specific networks of different mobile network operators. It is used only in the cases of inappropriate device operation. However, it is not recommended for users to change parameters in these fields - it is necessary to consult the manufacturer!

SMS Delivery report Enable - SMS delivery report is necessary that the system could indicate which user have received SMS message about alarm or not. Otherwise, system will send alarm message to all provided users. By default, this function is enabled.

Device OFF - Device will be instantly turned off.

Boot Mode - system activates boot mode by opening a new window with existing firmware file (.bin file). In this case user will be able to upgrade existing firwmare version to a newest one (it is needed to delete the existing file and put in the new .bin file). Attention: Advanced use only!!! Use only in case You received new firmware file from distributors!!!

4.4. Advanced Configurations
