[377] - Communication Variables
[378] - Test Transmission Time of Day
Program the time of the test transmission in this section. Enter a
4-digit time using the 24-hr clock format (HH:MM). Valid entries
are from 00 to 23 for the hours (HH) and 00 to 59 for the minutes
(MM). To disable the test transmission, enter [9999] in this sec-
tion.
[379] - Periodic DLS Time of Day
In order to provide a regular test of the DLS operation the panel
shall auto-call the DLS at a pre-programmed time of day or at ran-
dom time of day between 23:01 – 05:59, every 30 days. This fea-
ture is controlled by the Periodic DLS Time of Day (section 379).
The installer can pre-program what time he would like the panel to
call by programming a valid entry of 0000 to 2359 which will corre-
spond to the time of day in military time format. If this feature is
not desired programming FFFF will disable it. Programming 9999
will enable random time. The ‘random’ time of day is obtained by
performing a mathematical operation on the DLS Panel ID Code
(Section [404]). The periodic DLS will call until it gets through to
the DLS computer. An FTC trouble will NOT be generated locally
Communication Variables
Swinger Shutdown (Alarms & Restores)
This value defines the number of attempts (alarm and restore pairs) per zone that the panel will log and communicate before it shuts down for that zone (“swinger
shutdown”). Valid entries are 000 to 014.
Different limits can be programmed for Zone Alarms, Zone Tampers and Maintenance signals. After the panel has generated the programmed number of trans-
missions for an event it will no longer report that event until the swinger shutdown is reset. For example, the swinger shutdown limit for Zone Alarms is set to [001].
The panel will not send more than 1 alarm signal for each zone with a swinger attribute until the swinger shutdown is reset.
The Bell output will not be activated for alarms on zones that have exceeded the limit of alarms set in the Swinger Shutdown counter. Swinger shutdown on global
zones will log once to the System Area.
NOTE: Swinger Shutdown will reset on all partitions when any partition on the system is armed, or every day at midnight. Once reset, the panel will
again communicate normally.
NOTE: The Bell and Event Buffer can follow Swinger Shutdown if enabled.
Swinger Shutdown (Tampers & Restores)
This value defines the number of times the same system Tamper type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Valid entries are 000 to 014.
Swinger Shutdown (Maintenance Troubles & Restores)
This value defines the number of times the same system Maintenance (Trouble) type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Fire Troubles will follow the
Maintenance Swinger Shutdown Variable. Swinger Shutdown is enabled on Zone Types [01]-[06] and [25] on all panels by default, and on all definitions. Valid
entries are 000 to 014.
Communication Delay
This value defines the delay before transmission. The delay is for zones which have the Transmission Delay attribute enabled. Program a time from 000 to 255 sec-
onds. This communications transmission delay will be by partition. Each partition will share the same active timer, so if the delay is already active due to an alarm on
a different partition, then any new activity on yet another partition will not restart the communications delay timer. Refer to Zone Attributes Section [101]-[164],
Option [7].
NOTE: If global zones are used with communications delay, then to stop all alarms from being sent when the communications delay expires,
access codes must be entered on all partitions that went in alarm from that global zone.
NOTE: If transmission delay starts on one partition, other partitions cannot cancel it. If transmission delay is active on more than one partition,
and a code is entered on one of them, that partition’s transmission delay will be cancelled.
NOTE: For UL installations the entry delay plus communication delay cannot exceed 60 seconds.
NOTE: The communication delay is in minutes for Installations. (000 to 255 minutes)
AC Failure Communication Delay (Minutes/Hours)
This value determines the delay before an AC FAILURE or AC RESTORE is reported. The AC failure or restore is still displayed immediately. Valid entries are from 000
to 255 minutes/hours.
NOTE: Selection of minutes or hours for the delay is set in section [382], Option 6, Pg 48.
NOTE: If AC Failure Communications Delay is programmed as 000, the AC Failure Trouble reporting code will be sent immediately.
TLM Trouble Delay
The number of valid checks (3 second interval) required before a Telephone Line trouble is generated is programmed here. Valid entries are 000-255 for trouble
annunciation and transmission delays of 3 to 765 Seconds.
Test Transmission Cycle (Land Line)
This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the land line. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. Whether this interval is in minutes or days is determined
on Section [702], Option 3.
NOTE: If using Test Transmission Exception, a value of 001 will disable the Test Transmission Exception feature.
Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay (Days)
When a zone reports a low battery condition, the trouble condition will be indicated immediately on the keypad, but the transmission to the monitoring station will
be delayed by the number of days programmed in this section. If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires, the low battery con-
dition will be transmitted. The Low Battery Restore transmission is not delayed.
NOTE: The panel will not send additional low battery events until the first low battery trouble is restored.
Delinquency Transmission Delay
The value in this section determines the period of time that the Delinquency Event will be postponed until it is logged to the Event Buffer and transmitted. Whether
this value is in hours or days is determined if Delinquency is for Activity (hours) or Closing (days) as specified in Section [380] Option 8.
The timer start under the following conditions:
• When the system is armed in the Stay mode
• When the system is disarmed
• When a zone is violated and restored while system is disarmed/Stay armed (Interior, Interior Delay, Interior Stay/Away, or Delay Stay/Away zones only).
The activity delinquency timer will be ignored when the system is armed in the Away mode. Zones that are bypassed in the [*][1] Bypass menu will not reset the
timer. If the system is programmed to monitor Closing Delinquency, the timer will be programmed in days. The timer will restart every time the system is disarmed
(see section [380], option [8]).
Communications Cancel Window
After TX Delay expires and a zone alarm has been transmitted, the Cancel window will begin. If an access code is entered during this window, a Communications
Cancel reporting code will be communicated. If the window expires without an access code entered or a code is entered after the window, no Opening After Alarm
log
or communication will occur. The system keypads will provide an audible confirmation that the opening after alarm log was successfully communicated (5 quick
beeps).
