APPENDIX
Appendix
This section of the XTL/XTLC Programming Guide provides additional zone and system information.
16.1 Status List
The Status List is the current status of the system or records of recent system events that display on
alphanumeric keypads. For example, in Home/Away systems you may see the display SYSTEM READY.
If an event were to occur on the system, such as an AC failure, the keypad would also display the AC
POWER -TRBL message. This is a system event that is placed into the Status List to alert the user to a
problem with the system.
Some Status List items remain in the display until manually cleared and some are cleared automatically
when the condition returns to normal. Below is a list of status and event displays the keypad can show in
the Status List:
Description Must be manually cleared?
Fire and Supervisory zone alarms Yes - by Sensor Reset
Fire and Supervisory zone troubles No - clears when zone restores
Burglary zone alarms No - clears at disarming.
All other zone alarms No - clears when zone restores
Zone monitor displays No - clears after approximately 8 minutes
Day zone alerts No - clears after approximately 8 minutes
System monitor troubles No - clears when condition restores
(AC and battery trouble)
Armed status display No
(System On)
Disarmed status displays No
(System Ready, System Not Ready)
Remote keypad messages No
(Sent to the keypad by your ofce or central station)
The highest priority message is displayed on the keypad. When there are multiple items in the list, you
can use the COMMAND or Back Arrow keys to scroll forward or back through the items.
16.2 Transmission Delay
You can set Abort Reports to YES if Opening and Closing reports are not being sent.
If the area where the alarm occurred is disarmed during the Transmit Delay time, only an Abort Report
(S45) message is sent to the receiver. If the area where the alarm occurred is disarmed after the alarm
message is sent to the receiver but before the Bell Cutoff time expires, even if the alarm was silenced, an
Alarm Cancelled (S49) message is sent. The Alarm Cancelled report cannot be disabled.
16.3 False Alarm Reduction
System Recently Armed report
The System Recently Armed report (S78) is sent when a burglary zone goes into alarm within two minutes
of the system being armed.
16.4 Diagnostics Function
The XTL/XTLC panel contains a Diagnostics function that allows you to test the integrity of the CDMA
cellular communication, cellular signal, and email communication. The Diagnostics function also displays
the panel settings. To use Diagnostics, reset the panel, enter the Diagnostics code 2313 (DIAG), and press
COMMAND.
Cellular Status
This option tests the individual components of cellular communication. Entry into the Cellular Status
(CELL STATUS) menu will cause each component of the panel’s cellular communication to be tested. The
test will proceed until the rst component failure or until all components have been tested with positive
results. The test screen will display after each component and will be displayed for two seconds or until
the CMD key has been pressed.
Cellular Signal Strength (CELL SIGNAL)
-XX dBm
SIGNAL:
▐▐▐▐▐▐▐
This option provides a way to test the cellular signal strength of the nearest tower for
the SIM card carrier. Press any top row Select key to display cell signal strength. The X’s
represent the numerical value of the cell signal strength in -dBm. The ▐’s represent the
signal strength 0-7.
