The Periodic Test enables you to set the time period that the system
will automatically establish communication to the monitoring station
in order to check the connection. The periodic test involves sending
the account number and a valid test report code (Contact ID 602, SIA
TX). Set the test time and daily interval for Periodic Test Reporting.
Use the table below to specify the daily testing intervals (D)-effective
from the day of programming:

Abort Alarm
15 secs
00-255 seconds
Defines the time delay before reporting an alarm to the monitoring
station. If the alarm system is disarmed within the abort window, no
alarm transmission shall be sent to the monitoring station.
Cancel Delay
5 mins 00-255 minutes
If an alarm is sent in error, it is possible for the monitoring station to
receive a cancel alarm code, sent subsequently to the initial alarm
code. This happens if a valid user code is entered to reset the alarm in
the cancel delay time window that starts after the defined abort
alarm time is over.
Note
Ensure that Cancel Alarm report code is defined.
