In addition, the communicator’s power module (PowerBoost1) monitors and reports AC power loss, and low battery conditions. All signals from the HWF2-COM communicator panel are delivered to Honeywell's AlarmNet Net- work Control Center, which routes the information to the appropriate central station.
Programming for UL864 Compliance The HWF2-COM Commercial Fire Alarm Communicator provides a programmable supervision feature that allows the system to meet the UL864 Commercial Fire requirements. These requirements are in the following table. NOTICE TO USERS, INSTALLERS, AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND OTHER INVOLVED PARTIES This product incorporates field programmable software.
STEP 2 – Mount and Wire • For UL compliant installations, refer to the topic on UL Compliance in this manual. For UL compliant installations, the Telco line wiring and the Power Transformer wiring must be routed • through conduit. For Dry/Indoor use only.

STEP 3 – Program the Communicator The HWF2-COM requires an AlarmNet account. For new installations, please obtain the account information from the central station prior to programming. You can program the communicator by one of the following methods: Using the AlarmNet 360 website. •...
This prompt appears only if comm. path includes IP&Cell or IP. IP Flt Time Enter the time delay (1 – 60) in minutes before the communicator notifies the con- (60 mins) trol panel that there is a communication path failure to AlarmNet over the hard- NOTE: Refer to table above wired Ethernet connection.
STEP 4 – Register the Communicator with AlarmNet Once you have programmed the communicator, it must be registered to enable the AlarmNet account. Registering the communicator activates the account with AlarmNet and enables the security system's control panel to send reports. You can register by using one of the following methods: •...
Possible Errors Displayed if no response to the registration request is received. Registration BAD Timed Out Indicates the city, central station, or customer number for the labeled Registration BAD account(s) is not accepted. The ID information was either entered in- correctly, or the central station failed to pre-authorize programmed ID Pri Sub ID BAD numbers with AlarmNet customer service.
If you entered an invalid PIN, the appropriate message is displayed Registration BAD depending on which account number is being replaced (see above for exact wording). The registration process is repeated. NOTE: Each attempt causes a substitution alarm to be sent to the cen- tral station.

Running Network Diagnostics (available only if the communication path includes IP) The network diagnostic process tests the integrity of the links between the communicator and the various connection points of AlarmNet Control that are known as "Redirects" (Redirs or RDR). To initiate the network diagnostics, press the [F] key on the 7720P Programming Tool.
Possible Errors Running Network Diagnostics Errors may occur either while tracing the connection to a given Redir or while testing the service at a given Redir. The following list highlights the most common errors. Please contact the AlarmNet Technical Assis- tance Center (TAC) for help regarding any errors NOT listed below: Possible Errors While tracing the connection to Redir x, the trace fails before ever reach-...
