NOTES:
•
Tables 2 and 4 support the automatic paging feature (open/close events reported to pager phone
number), and a Powerline Carrier Device programmed as device 8, which closes and stays closed upon
burglary alarms and restores after bell timeout. For other applications or actions (e.g., using a pulsing
siren), see the *80 Powerline Carrier Device Programming section of the Installation Instructions.
•
Primary report format for all tables is Ademco’s Contact ID reporting. Tables 2 and 4 also use Contact ID
for secondary reporting. Tables 1, 3, and 5 use 4+1 format for secondary reporting.
•
Tables 1 and 5 record all events in the event log. Tables 2, 3, and 4 record only alarms, alarm restores,
troubles, and trouble restores in their event logs.
