DualCom Programming and Installation Guide
COMMUNICATION
This option allows you to configure the communication settings for the communicator.
ACCOUNT NUMBER
Enter the account num ber sent to the receiver. The range is 1‑65535. For account numbers
of four digits or less, do not enter leading zeros.
TRANSMISSION DELAY
Enter the number of seconds the communicator waits before sending burglary alarm
reports to the receiver. The range is 15‑45 seconds. The default is 0. Enter 0 to disable this
function.
COMMUNICATION TYPE
The communicator uses NET or WI‑FI and CELL to connect with SCS‑1R or SCS‑VR
receivers. DualComNF models use NET and CELL and default to NET. DualComWZ models
use WI‑FI and CELL and default to WI‑FI.
BACKUP CELL
If NET or WI‑FI is selected as the primary communication type, BACKUP CELL will display
and give you the option to enable or disable cellular backup.
TEST TIME
Enter the time of day the communicator should send the test report to the SCS‑1R or
SCS‑VR receivers. Use entries between 12:00 to 11:59 and then choose AM or PM. To enable
daily tests from the host panel, leave the time blank and enable test reports for Receiver 1
and/or for Receiver 2. See Test Report.
NET AND/OR CELL TEST DAYS
If you entered a test time, you can enter how often the panel test report is sent to the
receiver. The range is 1 to 60 and the default is 1. Enter 0 to disable the test report.
NET AND/OR CELL CHECK‑IN
Check‑in reports are a method of supervising the panel for communication with the
receiver. Enter the number of minutes between check‑in reports. The range is
3‑240 minutes. The default is 0. Enter 0 to disable check‑in minutes.
Note: Additional cell charges may apply if this option is used.
FAIL TIME
Fail time allows the SCS‑1R or SCS‑VR receivers to miss a defined number of check‑ins
before logging that the panel is missing. For example, if cell check‑in is 20 minutes and fail
time is 30 minutes, the receiver only indicates a Panel Not Responding after 30 minutes.
The fail time must be equal to or greater than the cell check‑in minutes. If cell check‑in
is 20 minutes, the fail time must be 20 minutes or more. The range is 3‑240 minutes. The
default is 0.
BACKUP CHECK‑IN MIN
Set the number of minutes between check‑in reports for BACKUP CELL if it was enabled.
The range is 3‑240 minutes. The default is 0. Enter 0 to disable check‑in minutes.
Note: Additional cell charges may apply if this option is used.
BACKUP FAIL TIME
Set the number of minutes the receiver should wait to indicate that a panel is missing
using BACKUP CELL if it was enabled. If cell check‑in is 20 minutes, the fail time must be
20 minutes or more. The range is 3‑240 minutes. The default is 0.
