Overview<\/h2>\n\n
The Kentix AlarmManager is the central control unit of a Kentix installation with up to 30 Kentix devices. All devices used for access control(SmartAccess<\/a>), building security(SmartMonitoring<\/a>) and IT security(SmartPDU<\/a>) are monitored by the AlarmManager and their data evaluated.<\/p>\n\n
It manages all master data such as users, access, alarm groups as well as devices and their sensors.<\/p>\n\n
The AlarmManager reports dangers specifically by email and with the built-in GSM modem by SMS. If the power supply fails, it can still send an alarm via SMS thanks to an emergency buffer.<\/p>\n\n
They require a POE-capable switch or injector for operation.<\/p>\n\n
Various mounting brackets are available for installation.<\/p>\n\n
Important information for AlarmManager-BASIC users<\/strong>
Since the introduction of KentixONE (01\/2023), there is no longer a functional distinction between AlarmManager-PRO and -BASIC. Update your AlarmManager-BASIC to the current KentixONE version (> 8.x) to get the functions described here.

Buffer function in the event of a power failure<\/h3>\n\n
The AlarmManager has maintenance-free backup capacitors to supply it with power for a certain time in the event of a power supply failure and to send an e-mail\/SMS message about the power failure.<\/p>\n\n
We recommend that you do not activate this function until you have completed commissioning at the final location. Charging the back-up capacitors takes approx. 20 minutes. During this time, the power supply must not be disconnected.<\/p>\n\n
For continuous operation, we recommend operating the AlarmManager on a UPS-powered switch and additionally monitoring it.The external power supply can be provided by using a MultiSensor-ROOM on a socket without a UPS supply.<\/p>\n\n
After a power failure, the functionality of the AlarmManager should generally be checked, especially the alarming via e-mail and\/or SMS.<\/p>\n\n
