Transmission Delay

If Transmission Delay is selected for a zone the panel will delay reporting the alarm for the number of seconds
programmed for Transmission Delay Time. If the panel is disarmed before the delay time expires the panel will
not report the alarm to central station. If the panel is not disarmed in time the panel will communicate normally.
This is a global feature - the transmission delay time will be the same on both partitions.

Automatic Arming

Each Partition can be programmed to Auto-Arm at a specific time every day if it is in the disarmed condition.
Before the Auto-Arm will work correctly the present Time of Day must be programmed.
When the internal panel clock matches the Auto-Arm Time the panel will check the status of the Partition.
If armed, the panel will do nothing until the next day at the Auto-Arm Time, when it will check again.
If disarmed the panel will sound the buzzer of all keypads assigned to the partition for one minute. If a
valid User Code is entered the Auto-Arm will be aborted. The panel will also transmit an Auto-Arm Abort
Reporting Code if programmed.
If no code is entered the panel will Auto-Arm. If a zone is violated the panel will transmit a Partial Closing
Reporting Code if programmed to indicate the system was not secure. If the zone is restored the panel
will add the zone back into the system.

Keypad Lockout

The panel can be programmed to 'lockout' keypads if a series of incorrect access code entries are made.
After the Number of Invalid Codes Before Lockout has been reached the panel will lock out the keypad
for the Lockout Duration and log the event to the event buffer. For the duration of the lockout the panel
will sound an error tone when any key is pressed.
The invalid code counter will be reset every hour.
To disable Keypad Lockout program the Number of Invalid Codes Before Lockout as [000].
If Keypad Lockout is active, the panel cannot be armed / disarmed with a keyswitch.
