Optional Long Range Radio
¥ Allows all messages that have been programmed to go to the primary
telephone number to be reported additionally to a 7720PLUS or 7820
radio. Check availability of these models.
Built-in Telephone Line Monitoring Option
¥ The telephone line voltage can be monitored to supervise the phone line
connection. The panel must be connected to a proper earth
ground or you will get a false line cut indication if this feature
is enabled.
¥ The loss of the line can optionally cause a local display, or a display and
trouble sound.

pause Ð 3 pulses Ð pause Ð 3 pulses. . .) for Fire
¥ Uses current limiting circuitry for protection
Auxiliary Power Output
¥ Provides 12VDC, 600 mA maximum. Uses current limiting circuitry for
protection.
¥ This output interrupts for smoke detector reset if 4-wire smoke
detectors are used.
Programming
¥ Programmed options are stored in electrically erasable, non-volatile
EEROM memory (information can be reprogrammed at any time and
will not be lost in the event of a power loss).
¥ The system can be uploaded, downloaded, or controlled via an IBM
