Ac Delays; Fire Reporting Codes - DSC PC5020 Power864 Installation Manual

TLM Troubles
If the PC5700 module detects a TLM Trouble on telephone
line 1 or 2, Zone 8 on the PC5700 will be violated auto-
matically. The panel can only monitor both telephone
lines if a PC5700 is connected.
NOTE: TLM Trouble monitoring should not be disabled.
Fail To Communicate (FTC)
If the control panel is unable to report to the central sta-
tion, an FTC Trouble will be generated and the message
'Failure to Communicate' will be added to the Troubles
list to advise the user that the central station may not
have received the communication about the current alarm
status.

8.7 AC Delays

AC Fail TX Delay
AC Fail TX Delay -UL Requirement
If the AC Fail TX Delay is programmed, the panel will
delay reporting the AC Trouble to the central station for
the programmed time.
NOTE: For 24-hr battery backup (14Ah battery) pro-
gram AC Fail Transmission Delay for 6 hours. For 60
hour battery backup (60ah battery) program AC Fail
Transmission Delay for 15 hours.
See section 5.6 'Communicator Programming', [377]
Communication Variables.

8.8 Fire Reporting Codes

The following reporting codes should be programmed on
every PC5020CF system:
Fire Events
2-wire Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when a 2-
wire smoke zone alarm occurs. The 2-wire smoke zone
acts as a standard fire zone. The 2-wire Alarm Restoral
reporting code will be sent when the alarm condition is
restored.
Waterflow Alarm – This reporting code will be sent when
a waterflow zone alarm occurs. The Waterflow Restoral
reporting code will be sent when the alarm condition is
restored.
2-wire Trouble – This reporting code will be sent when
the 2-wire smoke detector zone has a trouble (open) con-
dition. The 2-wire Trouble Restoral reporting code will be
sent when the condition has restored.
Waterflow Trouble – This reporting code will be sent
when the waterflow detector zone has a Trouble condi-
tion. The waterflow Trouble Restoral reporting code will
be sent when the condition has restored.
[F] Key
The panel will transmit a Keypad Fire Alarm reporting
code and the Keypad Fire Restoral reporting code when
the Fire Keys on any keypad are pressed for two seconds.
NOTE: For commercial applications, do not program
the [F] key for keypads that are readily accessible by
the public. For more information regarding this key,
see the PC5020CF Installation Manual Section 5.3,
'Basic Programming', [015] Third System Option
Codes, Option [1].
System Maintenance
Panel Battery Trouble – This code will be sent when the
control panel battery is low, disconnected or if the battery
fuse fails. The Battery Trouble Restoral reporting code
will be sent when the condition is cleared.
Panel AC Trouble – This code will be sent when the AC
power to the control panel is disconnected or interrupted.
To prevent communicating the trouble in the event of
short power failures, the code will not be sent until the
AC Failure Communication Delay has expired. When the
Trouble is restored, the AC Line Trouble Restoral report-
ing code will be sent.
Panel Bell Trouble – This code will be sent when a bell
Trouble occurs. This is when an open circuit is detected
across the bell terminals. When the Trouble condition is
restored, the Main Bell Trouble Restoral reporting code
will be transmitted.
Panel AUX Trouble – This code will be sent when an aux-
iliary voltage supply Trouble occurs. When the voltage
supply is restored, the Main Auxiliary Trouble Restoral
code will be sent.
GND Fault Trouble – This reporting code will be sent
when the earth ground connection detects a ground fault.
The Ground Fault Restoral reporting code will be sent
when the earth ground fault connection is restored.
NOTE: The PC5020CF EGND terminal must not be con-
nected to the key ground. Connecting earth ground to
the key ground will interfere with system performance
and generate a Ground Fault Trouble.
Periodic Test – This is the reporting code that is sent to the
monitoring station to test communications (see PC5020CF
Installation Manual, section 5.6, 'Communicator Program-
ming', [377] Communication Variables).
Periodic Test TBL – This test transmission code is sent
instead of a Periodic Test Transmission if any of the fol-
lowing conditions occur:
• Common Fire Trouble
• Fire Zone Alarm (all zones)
• Fire Alarm (5700)
• Fire Zone Trouble (all zones)
• Fire Zone(s) Bypassed
• AUX Trouble (main panel)
• Key Low Power
• Module Supervisory Fault
• [F] Key Alarm
