Maintenance Troubles/Restores
This value defines the number of times the same system Maintenance (trouble) type event occurs before going into swinger
shutdown. Fire troubles follow the Maintenance Swinger Shutdown variable.
[002] – Communication Delays
Transmission Delay (seconds)
This value defines the delay before an alarm is transmitted.
The delay is for zones which have the Transmission Delay attribute enabled. Valid entries are from 000 to 255 seconds (0-
45 seconds for CP-01). Each partition shares the same active timer. If the delay is already active due to an alarm on a dif-
ferent partition, any new activity on another partition does not restart the communications delay timer.
Burglary verified events are postponed until after the transmission delay expires. When a valid disarming procedure is used
while the transmission delay is active, a communications canceled message is briefly displayed on the keypad when the
delay is canceled.
NA
Note: For UL/ULC listed installations, the entry delay plus communication delay cannot exceed 45 seconds.
AC Failure Communication Delay (minutes or hours)
This value determines the delay before an AC failure or AC restore is reported. The AC failure or restore is still displayed
immediately. Valid entries are from 000 to 255 minutes/hours (max. 180 minutes for UL commercial installations). Selection
of minutes or hours for the delay is set in section "[382] Communicator Option 3" on page 125.
Note: If AC Failure Communications Delay is programmed as 000, the AC Failure Trouble reporting code is sent imme-
diately.
ULC
Note: For ULC commercial fire monitoring, the setting shall be 180 minutes.
TLM Trouble Delay
Use this section to program the number of valid checks (3 second intervals) required before a telephone line trouble is gen-
erated. Valid entries are 000-255 for trouble annunciation and transmission delays of 3 to 765 Seconds (12.75 Minutes).
Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay (in days)
When a zone reports a low battery condition, the trouble is indicated immediately on the keypad, but the transmission to the
monitoring station is delayed by the number of days programmed in this section. If the low battery condition is not corrected
before the delay expires, the low battery condition is transmitted. The Low Battery Restore transmission is not delayed.
Delinquency Transmission Delay
The value in this section determines the period of time before a delinquency event is generated.
Delinquency delay is measured in days if using closing delinquency or hours if using activity delinquency as programmed in
section [311] option 6. Valid entries are [001]-[255] or [000] to disable.
Communications Cancel Window
After the transmission Delay expires and a zone alarm is transmitted, the communications cancel window begins.
If an access code is entered during this window, a reporting code is communicated and logged. If the window expires
without an access code entry or a code is entered after the window, the communications canceled event is not logged or
communicated.
Note: The cancel window does not start after an [F][M][P] key alarm.
[003] – Periodic Test Transmission Cycle
This value determines the period between test transmissions. Valid entries are [000]-[255]. Whether this interval is in hours
or days is determined by section [022], option 4.
NA
Note: For UL/ULC listed installations, the test interval is 24 hours.
