the owner of the problem. The panel can send a Bell Circuit
Trouble and Trouble Restoral reporting codes to indicate the
situation (see section 5.8 "Communicator – Reporting Codes"
on page 17).
If Fire Bell Continuous is enabled, the bell will sound until a
code is entered. If disabled, the bell will sound until a code is
entered or the bell cut-off time has expired.

5.14 Test Transmission

To ensure that the communication link with the central station
is functioning properly, program the panel to send a test trans-
mission signal on a regular basis.
The panel can send a Periodic Test Transmission Report-
ing Code at the programmed Test Transmission Time of
Day. The Test Transmission Cycle determines the period of
time between tests. The option Land Line Test Transmission
in Minutes/Days allows you to select whether the Land Line
Test Transmission cycle will be counted in minutes or days. If
you have selected the test transmission cycle to be in min-
utes, the Test Transmission Time of Day counter will not apply.
NOTE:If you have selected the Land Line Test Transmission in
Minutes option, do not program the test transmission cycle to
be less than 10 minutes.
If you program the test transmission cycle for a longer period
of time than it was programmed for previously, the system will
wait the original time period before the next test transmission
is sent, and then begin reporting with the new interval.
Users can also generate a communicator test. If the System
Test Reporting Code is programmed, the panel will send the
signal when the System Test keypad command is entered
(see "[*][6] User Functions" on page 9).

5.15 Transmission Delay

If the transmission delay zone attribute is selected for a given
zone, the panel will delay reporting an alarm for that zone for
the number of seconds programmed for the Transmission
Delay Time. If the panel is disarmed before the delay time
expires, the panel will not report the event.

5.16 Fire, Auxiliary and Panic Keys

The emergency keys are available on all keypads. These keys
must be pressed and held for two seconds before they will
activate. This two second delay is designed to help prevent
accidental activation.
If the [F] / Key option is enabled, when the Fire keys are
pressed and held for two seconds, the panel will activate the
alarm output. The alarm output will sound until a code is
entered or until the bell cut-off time expires. Communication of
the signal to central station is immediate.
P r o g r a m D e s c r i p t i o n s :
If the [A] /
panel will sound the keypad beeps three times to verify activa-
tion. The panel will beep the keypad ten times rapidly when a
kissoff is received, to verify communication to the central sta-
tion.
If the [P] /
panel will immediately communicate the signal to central sta-
tion.
If [P] Key Audible Bell and Buzzer option is enabled, when a
user presses the [P] /
and the panel will activate the alarm output until an access
code is entered or the bell cut-off expires. If the option is dis-
abled, the Panic alarm will be completely silent.
Each LCD keypad may be programmed to have the [F], [A], &
[P] keys enabled or disabled. Please refer to Appendix B:
"Programming LCD Keypads" on page 43.
NOTE:The Fire, Auxiliary, Panic keys will operate even if Key-
pad Blanking is active (See section 5.22 "Keypad Blanking" on
page 25).

5.17 Arming/Disarming Options

If the Quick Arm option is enabled, the panel can be armed
without an access code by entering [*][0] or by pressing the
Stay or Away function key.
The Quick Exit option, if enabled, will allow someone to leave
an armed premises through a Delay type zone without having
to disarm and re-arm the system. See "[*][0] Quick Exit" on
page 10.
If the Arm/Disarm Bell Squawk option is enabled, the panel
will squawk the alarm output once upon arming and twice
upon disarming. If an alarm is in memory, when the panel is
disarmed the bell will sound three pairs of disarm squawks.
The Opening After Alarm Keypad Ringback option will
cause the keypad to beep 8 times rapidly after the Opening
After Alarm reporting code has been successfully transmitted
to the central station. The Opening After Alarm Bell Ring-
back option will cause the panel to squawk the bell 8 times
rapidly after the Opening After Alarm reporting code has been
successfully transmitted to the central station.
NOTE:If the panel is armed using the Stay function key, or by
entering [*][9][access code], there will be no bell squawks dur-
ing entry and exit delays, except for the arm/disarm bell
squawks.
Closing Confirmation, if enabled, will cause the keypad to
beep 8 times rapidly after the closing reporting code has
been successfully transmitted to central station.
If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed option is cho-
sen, the Bypass light will be ON while the system is armed to
indicate that there are bypassed zones.
If the AC/DC Inhibit Arming option is enabled, the panel will
not arm if there is an AC or DC (battery) trouble present on the
system. Arming will not be allowed until the AC or battery trou-
ble is cleared. If no AC or battery trouble is currently present,
when a user attempts to arm the system, the panel will do an
automatic battery test of the main panel and modules that
support a backup battery. If the battery is good, the system
will arm. If the battery is bad, the system will not arm.
