Moose z1200 installation manual

If you have an alarm monitoring service or an alarm company you work with, they can take care of any equipment problems for you. If not, here are a few of the most common issues you will likely have with one of these systems, along with how to solve them.

Like many security systems, Moose alarm systems use a volt, sealed lead-acid SLA battery for back-up power.

The battery is kept charged by the plug-in low-voltage transformer usually located near the main panel. SLA batteries have a life expectancy of about years.

This varies a lot, so some may last as long as years, while others may die after only one year. Most Moose alarm systems perform a self-test on the backup battery every 24 hours. Alarm system batteries are easy to replace, as long as you can open the panel lid. All of the Moose systems listed above can use either the 4-amp-hour 4AH or the larger 7-amp-hour 7AH size battery.

For help with changing batteries, see this page on DIY alarm system battery replacement. Moose alarm systems included some of the better-made keypads, in my opinion. Moose alarm keypads seem to last as long as the system is in service, although some do occasionally fail. Having said that, be aware that a previous owner or their alarm company may have already tried one or more of these clever little tricks! If all else fails, various Moose keypads are widely available on-line. Come to think of it, so are the main panels!

Before you decide to buy any new or used replacement equipment, consider that you might be able to get a whole new, up-to-date system for not much more money. NuTech was a line of home security products distributed by NuTone. The NuTech line, now long out of production, were actually re-branded, or "private labeled" equipment designed by Moose Security Products. NuTech products functioned and programmed almost identically to their Moose alarm systems counterparts.

Some features of the original Moose systems were removed from the NuTech versions, so there are minor programming differences between the two brands.

Here is a list of Nutech alarm system models, along with their Moose counterparts:. Its menu-driven design made operation of an SXE system very user-friendly. If you still have a working NuTech alarm system, you can find user and installation manuals for it through my alarm system manual sources page.

Unfortunately, you'll have no such luck finding replacement parts. Any keypads or panels you might be able to scrounge up are used, and also many years old by now. Your best option if your NuTech system is having any problems is to replace the system.

To find the correct manual for any Moose security system, the model number of the main control panel is required. DCS comes with a pre-defined lua environment.

Over time, new features are added that can be used in your mission. Unzip the files into a directory of your choice, but keep the folder structure intact.

These are include files that you need to include within your mission. See a more detailed explanation below. This will enable you to start developing mission scripts in lua, which will be fully intellisense enabled!!!

The LDT editor has a concept of Workspaces , which contains all your settings of your editing environment, like views, menu options etc, and your code… Nothing to pay attention to really, but you need to set it up! When you open EclipseLDT for the first time, it will ask you where to put your workspace area ….

We will link into that directory and automatically load the Project properties. It is listed totally on top. This is important because it will search in the files in this directory and sub directories for lua documentator enabled lua files. The framework comes with demonstration missions which can be downloaded here , that you can try out and helps you to code.

Each test mission is located in a separate directory, which contains at least one. You will learn, see, and understand how the different MOOSE classes need to be applied, and how you can create more complex mission scenarios by combining these MOOSE classes into a complex but powerful mission engine.

Some of these exact test missions are also demonstrated in a video format on the YouTube channel. In order to design your own missions, it is recommended you create a separate directory on your PC which contains your mission files.

Your mission will be designed consisting possibly out of a couple of components, which are:. However, once included, maintaining these files is a tedious task, having to replace each time manually these files when they change due to a new release or a change in your mission script. Therefore, the recommendation is that your create for each mission a separate folder. The LDT has been customized and provides a tool to automatically maintain your existing.

This is an important step. As explained above, each of your missions will be stored in a separate folder. Please follow the explanation how to do that. This will create your mission script file , the file that contains all the lua code using the Moose framework using your mission.

This can be a tedious task, and for this purpose, a tool has been developed that will update the Moose. This will activate a script that will automatically re-insert your mission.

This trick will save you a lot of time. You need to install the tool … to create easily new links. Select from the following possible links that can be created to save you time while browing through the different folders to include script files:.

As a result, every class, method and variable is documented within the source, and mission designers can write mission script lua code that is intellisense -ed … What that means is that while you are coding your mission, your object and variables derived from MOOSE classes will list interactively the methods and properties of that class interactively while coding … This highly increases the quality and the speed of your scripting. Now you should have a working LDT on your system.

Please follow the steps outlined! Select the default workspace that LDT suggests. Press OK. Press the Next button below the dialog box. All the other settings are by default ok. Download the Moose demonstration missions latest release package. Unzip the package into a local folder on your PC. Select the local folder on your PC, where you saved the demonstration missions contents.
