[377] - COMMUNICATION VARIABLES
Swinger Shutdown (Alarms & Restores)
This value defines the number of attempts (alarm and restoral pairs) per zone that the communicator will make before it shuts down for that zone ('swinger
shutdown'). Program 001 or 002 in this entry. When programmed as 000, the communicator will shut down after 2 Alarm/Restoral pairs.
Different limits can be programmed for Zone Alarms, Zone Tampers and Maintenance signals. After the panel has communicated the programmed number
of transmissions for an event it will no longer report that event until the swinger shutdown is reset. For example, the swinger shutdown limit for Zone Alarms is
set to [001]. The panel will not send more than 1 alarm signal for each zone with a swinger attribute until the swinger shutdown is reset.
The Bell output will not be activated for alarms on zones that have exceeded the limit of alarms set in the Swinger Shutdown counter. Swinger shutdown on
global zones will log once to the System Area.
NOTE: Swinger Shutdown will reset when the system is armed, or every day at midnight. Once reset, the panel will again communicate normally
NOTE: The Bell and event buffer can follow Swinger Shutdown if enabled.
Swinger Shutdown (Tampers & Restorals)
This value defines the number of times the same system Tamper type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Valid entries are 000 to 014.
Swinger Shutdown (Maintenance Troubles & Restorals)
This value defines the number of times the same system Maintenance (Trouble) type event will occur before stopping transmissions. Fire Troubles will follow the
Maintenance Swinger Shutdown Variable. Swinger Shutdown is enabled on Zone Types [01]-[06] and [25] on all panels by default, and on all definitions. Valid
entries are 000 to 014.
Communication Delay (Seconds)
This value defines the delay before transmission. The delay is for zones which have the Transmission Delay attribute enabled. Program a time from 015 to 045
seconds.
NOTE: For UL installations the entry delay plus communication delay cannot exceed 60 seconds.
Refer to Zone Attributes Section [101]-[132], Option [7]
AC Failure Communication Delay (Minutes/Hours)
This value determines the delay before an AC Failure or AC Restoral is reported. The AC failure or restoral is still displayed immediately. Valid entries are from
000 to 255 minutes/hours.
NOTE: Selection of minutes or hours for the delay is set in section [382], Option 6.
NOTE: If AC Failure Communications Delay is programmed as 000, the AC Failure Trouble reporting code will be sent immediately*.
TLM Trouble Delay
The number of valid checks (10 second interval) required before a Telephone Line Trouble is generated is programmed here. Valid entries are 000-255 for Trou-
ble annunciation and transmission (LINKS) delays of 10 to 2550 Seconds (42.5 Minutes).
Test Transmission Cycle (Land Line)
This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the Land Line. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. Whether this interval
NOTE:
is in minutes or days is determined on Section [702], Option 3.
Test Transmission Cycle (LINKS1000)
This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the LINKS1000. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. The period is in days or hours. This applies to
Land-line and LINKS Test Transmissions, and for minutes and hours for the Land-line (LINKS only uses Hours).
NOTE: When a new value is programmed (locally or remotely), the panel will transmit a Test transmission when the next Test Transmission Time
is reached. The panel will then load in the new value, and continue the cycle based on this new value. This informs the Installer/Central to expect
the next Test Transmission when the cycle has been changed.
Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay (Days)
When a zone reports a low battery condition, the Trouble condition will be indicated immediately on the keypad, but the transmission to the monitoring station
will be delayed by the number of days programmed in this section. If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires, the low bat-
tery condition will be transmitted. The Low Battery Restoral transmission is not delayed.
NOTE: The panel will not send additional low battery events until the first low battery Trouble is restored.
Delinquency Transmission Delay
The value in this section determines the period of time that the Delinquency Event will be postponed until it is logged to the event buffer and transmitted.
Whether this value is in hours or days is determined if Delinquency is for Activity (hours) or Closing (days) as specified in Section [380] Option 8.
The timer starts under the following conditions:
• When the system is armed in the Stay mode
• When the system is disarmed
• When a zone is violated and restored while the system is disarmed/Stay armed (Interior, Interior Delay, Interior Stay/Away, or Delay
Stay/Away zones only).
The activity delinquency timer will be ignored when the system is armed in the Away mode. Zones that are bypassed in the [*][1] Bypass
menu will not reset the timer.
If the system is programmed to monitor Closing Delinquency
system is disarmed.
Activity/Closing Delinquency section [380], option [8].
Communications Cancel Window
After TX Delay expires and a zone alarm has been transmitted, the Cancel window will begin. If an access code is entered during this window, a Communica-
tions Cancel reporting code will be communicated. If the window expires without an access code entered or a code is entered after the window, no Opening
After Alarm log or communication will occur. The system keypads will provide an audible confirmation that the opening after alarm log was successfully com-
municated (5 quick beeps).
[378] - Test Transmission Time of Day
Program the time of the test transmission in this section.
Enter a 4-digit time using the 24-hr clock format
(HH:MM). Valid entries are from 00 to 23 for the hours
(HH) and 00 to 59 for the minutes (MM). To disable the
test transmission, enter [9999] in this section.
NOTE: Do NOT enter [9999] for Central & Remote Fire
applications.
Closing Delinquency, the timer will be programmed in days. The timer will restart every time the
