This section of the CellComSL Series Cellular Alarm Communicator Programming Guide provides additional zone
and system information.
18.1 Status List
The Status List is the current status of the system or records of recent system events that display on alphanumeric
keypads.
If an event were to occur on the system, such as an AC failure, the keypad would also display the AC POWER
-TRBL message. This is a system event that is placed into the Status List to alert the user to a problem with the
system.
Some Status List items remain in the display until manually cleared and some are cleared automatically when the
condition returns to normal. Below is a list of status and event displays the keypad can show in the Status List:
Description
Fire and Supervisory zone troubles
Burglary zone alarms
All other zone alarms
Zone monitor displays
Day zone alerts
System monitor troubles
(AC and battery trouble)
Armed status display
(System On)
Disarmed status displays
(System Ready, System Not Ready)
Remote keypad messages
(Sent to the keypad by your office or central station)
Each item in the list is displayed for four seconds. When there are multiple items in the list, you can use the
COMMAND or Back Arrow keys to scroll forward or back through the items.
18.2 False Alarm Reduction
System Recently Armed report
The System Recently Armed report (S78) is sent when a burglary zone goes into alarm within two minutes of the
system being armed.
18.3 Diagnostics Function
The communicator contains a Diagnostics function that allows you to test the integrity of the cellular
communication, cellular signal, and check Panel Settings. To use Diagnostics, reset the communicator, enter the
Diagnostics code 2313 (DIAG).
Cellular Status
This option tests the individual components of cellular communication. Entry into the Cellular Status (CELL
STATUS) menu will cause each component of the cellular communication to be tested. The test will proceed until
the first component failure or until all components have been tested with positive results. The test screen will
display after each component and will be displayed for two seconds or until the CMD key has been pressed.

This option provides a way to test the cellular signal strength of the nearest tower for
the cellular carrier. Press any top row Select key to display cell signal strength. The X's
represent the numerical value of the cell signal strength in -dBm. The
signal strength 0-7.
The Cellular Signal Strength option in the communicator's diagnostic menu contains a
roaming indicator. When the communicator is roaming or not in contact with a Verizon
owned tower, ROAM will be displayed on the top line of the keypad along with the signal
strength. To perform the cellular activation process from a keypad, the communicator
MUST be in contact with a Verizon owned tower. If the cellular communicator is in
contact with a tower owned by another network, ROAM and the signal strength displays,
but activation cannot be completed. This feature can be used as a diagnostic tool to
troubleshoot activation issues.
