nuisance prevention
®
circuitry
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention
®
Circuitry (NPC
®
). It
prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers,
airport noise, etc.
Example
If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and each
time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC
®
will interpret
those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC
®
ignores, or by-
passes, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches
sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that
a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.
Doors are covered by NPC
®
differently; if the alarm is triggered by an
open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until the
trigger ceases.
