This feature is enabled to prevent unauthorized users from
activating certain keypad functions. When activated, this
command will require a valid User Combination to perform
such functions as Bypassing a Zone, Group Bypassing, Key-
pad Activated RPS, Central Station and Bell Testing, and
Instant Arming. For additional assistance with commands
requiring User Combinations, see page 21 (Command Sum-
mary).
This option minimizes the possibility of leaving the system
unarmed (faulted) when exiting. The system is armed in the
normal manner and the user exits through the delayed exit
door. If the door does not close properly, returning the loop to
the normal state, the system will transition from the Exit Delay
to the Entrance Delay at the completion of the Exit Delay time
and chirp the Bell, alerting the user to the error in arming the
system.
This option determines the response time of the loop itself. It
acts as a buffer on the loop to minimize the possibility of fast
acting sensors, such as swingers or window foil, producing
false alarms.
This option is used in conjunction with CL 17 - 1E & 40 - 47
Digit Positions (3 & 4), Restore Reporting Code, and CL 2A
(2), Restore Receiver Select. The panel can be programmed
to send a Restoral Report only when the loop is normal and the
system is disarmed. With this arrangement, any loop which is
triggered multiple times while armed will only send one alarm
report until the system is disarmed. This prevents the system
from tieing up the phone line with continuous alarm and
restoral reports.
There may be occassion where it is desirable to program all
doors and interior points as delayed. Or you may need to
program interior zones to be delayed only during the Entry/
Exit Delay Time. This Command Location allows a variety of
Arming Types to help minimize false alarms.
This feature should always be enabled on reporting systems,
especially if the system does not send Opening and Closing
Reports. A Cancel Report is sent to the monitoring station in
the event that an Authorized User clears the alarm while the
bell is still active. The Cancel Report Code (Digit Position 5)
is actually a two-digit code with the first digit being program-
med by the installer and the second digit being the User ID #
when the report is sent. Digit Position (6) determines which
receiver gets the Cancel Report.
