Overview ABI alarm system



This function block connects an ABI alarm system via the RS232 interface.

Important — disarming belongs at the panel: Disarming via the visualisation or the APP is not recommended. An intrusion alarm system should only ever be disarmed at the panel itself — at the keypad, with a key switch or a code. Otherwise anyone with access to the APP can lift the intrusion protection; a lost or unlocked mobile device is then enough. Depending on the insurance policy and local regulations, operating it this way may also not be permitted.

It is therefore recommended to use the command addresses for display only, and at most for arming. The safest approach is to withdraw the right to disarm from the interface at the panel itself — the panel then rejects the command itself, regardless of what the visualisation is configured to do.

Important: If the alarm system is nevertheless operated via the APP, special protective measures should be taken. For example, setting up a private VPN access. Under no circumstances should the system be freely accessible from the Internet via port forwarding.
