Chapter 5: Menu reference
In case a few areas have the same account numbers, and "9.1.n.9 OP/CL report"
option on page 262 is set to Yes, a special operation takes place for SIA/XSIA
reporting of opening/closing depending on the area modifier setting (see
"9.1.n.8.1 XSIA", page 261).
• Area modifier off: Closing is reported when all areas with the same account
number have been set. The area that was set last is reported. The first to
disarm sends the opening signal for the area to be opened.
• Area modifier on: Opening and closing signals are reported separately. The
Area Modifier is used to identify the correct area.
Note: System events, as well as Area 1 events, are always reported using
Account 1.

9.1.n.6 Mode
6 Mode
>Primary CS<
The following modes are available for CS.
• Primary CS: The primary central station must unconditionally receive all
addressed events.
• Backup CS: The central station can be a backup CS for the previous CS in
the central station list (see "9.1 Central station" on page 258). This means
that the panel reports to this central station only if the primary CS reporting
fails.
For example, if CS 1 and CS 2 are primary CS, and CS 3 and CS 4 are backup
CS, it means that CS 1 has no backup, CS 3 is a backup central station for CS 2,
and CS 4 is a backup for central station 3.
See "Reporting principles" on page 84 for more information.
9.1.n.7 Retry count
7 Retry count
>1<
The Retry count value is the number of retries to make a successful call to the
central station. If the limit is reached, the FTC is generated.
The counter is zeroed when a new event occurs in Global FTC condition. See
"Failed to communicate (FTC)" on page 86 for more information.
The value ranges from 0 to 14. The default value is 1.
