Notes 
•  You must have a printer connected to the panel to print a report. 
•  Requesting a report while another report is being printed or displayed on the LCD 
stops the current report (even if it has not finished) and starts the new report that 
you requested. 
History report 
The panel maintains 1,000 system or user events. The event record contains the 
event time, the event type, the event state, and the device address (for device events). 
The event time is the time and date of the event activation or restoration. The event 
types are alarm, trouble, supervisory, monitor, and test activations or disable. The 
event state is either activation or restoration. The device address is the address for 
the device that caused the event. Some events do not have a device address listed, 
such as the type of events listed in the “Event ID numbers and descriptions” topic on 
page 146. These are “pseudo” type events. History reports can be viewed on the LCD 
or printed.
