5.12 Siren
The siren will silence after the number of minutes programmed for the Bell Cut-off time have passed.
The panel supervises the Bell output. If an open condition is detected, the panel will immediately indicate
a trouble condition by beeping the keypad twice every 10 seconds to alert the owner of the problem. The
panel can send a Bell Circuit Trouble and Trouble Restoral reporting codes to indicate the situation
(see Section 5.8 “Communicator – Reporting Codes”).
If the Temporal Three Fire Signal option is enabled, all Fire signals will follow the Temporal Three Pattern as
described in NFPA 72. If turned OFF all Fire signals will sound a one second on, one second off cadence.
If Fire Bell Continuous is enabled, the alarm output will sound until a code is entered. If disabled, the
alarm will sound until a code is entered or the bell cut-off time has expired.

5.13 Test Transmission
To ensure that the communication link with the central station is functioning properly, the panel can be
programmed to send a test transmission signal on a regular basis.
The panel can send a Periodic Test Transmission Reporting Code at the programmed Test
Transmission Time of Day. The Test Transmission Cycle determines the period of time between tests.
The option Land Line Test Transmission in Minutes/Days allows you to select whether the Land Line
Test Transmission cycle will be counted in minutes or days. If you have selected the test transmission
cycle to be in minutes, the Test Transmission Time of Day counter will not apply.
The LINKS Test Transmission can only be programmed in days.
If the test transmission cycle being programmed is of a lesser value than the previous value, the system will
wait the original period before the next test transmission is sent, and then begin reporting with the new interval.
The panel can also send a test for the LINKS1000 Cellular Communicator, if being used. If the LINKS1000
Test Transmission Code is programmed, the panel will send a cellular test at the interval programmed in
the LINKS Test Transmission Cycle.
The end user can generate a communicator test. If the System Test Reporting Code is programmed, the
panel will send the signal when the System Test keypad command is entered (see Section 3.4 – “[
✱]
Commands; [
✱] [6] User Functions”).

5.14 Fire, Auxiliary, Panic Keys
The emergency keys are available on all keypads. These keys must be pressed and held for 2 seconds
before they will activate. This 2 second delay is designed to help prevent accidental activation.
If the Fire Keys option is enabled, when the Fire keys are pressed and held for 2 seconds, the panel will
activate the alarm output. It pulses one second on, one second off only if option 8 of Section [013] is
disabled (Standard Fire option). If Fire Bell Continuous is selected the alarm output will sound until a
code is entered, otherwise it will sound until a code is entered or the alarm output times out.
Communication of the signal to central station is immediate.
If the Auxiliary Keys are pressed and held for 2 seconds the panel will sound the keypad beeper three times to
verify activation. The panel will beep the keypad ten times rapidly to verify communication to the central station.
If the Panic Keys are pressed and held for 2 seconds, the panel will immediately communicate the signal
to central station. If Panic Keys Audible is enabled, the panel will beep the keypad three times upon
activation and activate the alarm output until a code is entered or the alarm output times out. Otherwise
the alarm will be completely silent.
The Fire, Auxiliary, Panic keys will operate even if Keypad Blanking and Keypad Lockout are active
(See Sections 5.22 “Keypad Lockout”and 5.23 “Keypad Blanking”).
