Option
16 Isolate/Deisolate RAS/DGP
From the User menu prompt (see “Using the keypad” on page 7), press
[1] [6] [ENTER] to temporarily exclude from the Challenger system fault or
tamper messages (system alarms) that are being generated by an arming station
(RAS) or data gathering panel (DGP). This would be used if a RAS or DGP has
generated a system alarm or is out of service, and needs to be isolated while
awaiting service.
Isolating a RAS or DGP will also reset any system alarm generated by the RAS
or DGP. Isolating a DGP will not isolate the alarm inputs on that DGP, but will
disable DGP’s offline and online reporting.

The procedures for isolating or deisolating a DGP are the same as for a RAS.
When finished deisolating RASs and DGPs, press the down arrow key or
[ENTER] to return to the Isolate/Deisolate RAS/DGP menu.

programmed service time period, or to cancel the service technician’s PIN or
card prior to the expiration of the service time.
Note: This menu is disabled when any areas are armed, unless the system
option “Skip Access Check For Service Menu” is enabled.
