AES 7788 Series RF Subscriber Unit ─ Installation and Operation Manual
AES Corporation 30 40-7788, Rev 6, August 30, 2016
The Reporting Delay sets the rate at which a subscriber’s own signals are
transmitted. The default value and recommended setting is 10 seconds; transmissions
are sent at least 10 seconds apart (this helps to meter traffic on the system). The
range is 0 (no delay, not recommended) to 330 seconds.
Note: After the reporting delay has expired, a new event will not have any delay
and the attempt to send a new message will begin immediately after activation.
For all Commercial Fire Alarm, UL Burglar Alarm, and Canadian Burglar
Alarm installations, the reporting Interval must not exceed 20 seconds.
AC Reporting Delay sets the delay in minutes that a subscriber waits before AC Fail
or AC Restore messages are actually transmitted after they are generated. This
feature helps network traffic congestion in the event of an area wide power outage, by
dispersing the AC Fail/ Restore messages over a period of 1 hour rather than all
Subscribers attempting to transmit at the same time. If AC reporting is not
suppressed, this feature delays the reporting of and AC Fail message for a random or
fixed delay. AC suppression is not approved for use in a UL installation.
The combined AC Fail Detect time of 100 minutes, plus the random AC Report
Delay between 0 & 60 minutes, does not exceed 160 minutes, which is within the
UL specification of 3 hour (180 minutes) for reporting AC Failures.
A loss of AC must exist for approximately 100 minutes in order to be detected as a
fail. The AC must be restored for 100 minutes to be detected as a restore. Once
either is detected a message is created to send to the central station. Then an AC
Reporting Delay is selected based on this parameter and the setting of AC Fail
Suppression mentioned later in Section 4.5 - Set Modes. The default value is RM,
which selects a random delay between 0 and 60 minutes.
The available options are: RM for random or you can enter a fixed delay in minutes.
0 = no delay and results in operation similar to earlier versions of AES AC Reporting.
The reporting of AC can be completely suppressed using a programming option in
Set Modes (See Section 4.5)
To Start, press programmer keys <CTRL>+<F2> or on a PC terminal press <g>
(hold down the Control and the F2 keys at the same time). The following message
appears:
CHKIN TIME--OLD:NEW
ENTER HRS----HH:.. [00-24] (HH = existing data)
Enter a number of hours between 1 and 24 (default = 24) and press <ENTER>.
ENTER MINS---MM:.. [00-60] (MM = existing data)
Enter the number of minutes between 0 and 60, then press <ENTER>.
AC RPT TIME-OLD:NEW [RM] Random or [00-60] [Minutes]
ENTER MINS---RM:..
(Report Delay, RM = existing programmed data)
Enter a number of minutes to delay AC Fail/Restore transmissions; the range is 0 to
60 or RM; the default is RM for Random.
Then press <ENTER>.
NTR RPT DLY-NNN:... [0-330] [seconds]
(Report Delay, NNN = existing programmed data)
