10.5 Swinger Shutdown

The swinger shutdown feature is designed to prevent a
runaway communicator from tying up the central station.
Each zone can be programmed to follow, or not follow, the
swinger shutdown programming (see 5.4 'Zone Program-
ming'). There are two programming items related to this
feature: the Swinger Limit Swinger Limit and the Shutdown 24Hrs Swinger Limit Swinger Limit
municator toggle option.
Swinger Limit
Ref #: [00040201]
Enter the number of alarms/tampers/faults the panel will
communicate per zone before communications for that
zone shut down. Valid entries are from 000 to 255. The
default setting of swinger shutdown is 003. Entering 000 in
this section will disable swinger shutdown.
Swinger Shutdown Reset Every 24 Hours
Ref #: [000401]
Scroll to the Shutdown 24Hrs Shutdown 24Hrs option. If the Shutdown 24Hrs Shutdown 24Hrs Shutdown 24Hrs
toggle option is enabled, the swinger shutdown counter will
be reset every day at midnight, or when the partition is
armed. The swinger shutdown counters keep track of how
many alarms have occurred on each zone, shutting them
down if they reach their limit. If disabled, the swinger shut-
down counters will only be reset when the partition is
32
Shutdown 24Hrs com- Shutdown 24Hrs Shutdown 24Hrs

armed. All zone tamper and zone fault swinger shutdown
counters are reset on arming (default=No).

10.6 Tampers

Ref #: [000200]
The following system toggle options determine how the
panel will interpret zone tamper conditions. Press [*] to tog-
gle each option on or off.
• Tamper Inhibit Tamper Inhibit Tamper Inhibit: If enabled, a tampered zone will always Tamper Inhibit
show as open. When this occurs, the user cannot bypass
the zone and arm the system until the installer's mode
is entered. The message 'Arming Inhibited. Call for Ser-
vice' will be displayed.
• If disabled, the tamper event will be transmitted but the
zone can be bypassed and the system armed
(default=No).
• Device Tmp Dis Device Tmp Dis Device Tmp Dis: If enabled, tampering of wireless zones Device Tmp Dis
will always cause tamper alarms and transmissions
whether the system is armed or disarmed. If disabled,
wireless zone tampers will create a trouble condition
when the system is disarmed. The zone tamper will be
logged to the event buffer but no Tamper alarm trans-
mission will occur. The event is only logged and trans-
mitted when the partition is armed (default=Yes).
• Tmp/Flt Opn Zn Tmp/Flt Opn Zn Tmp/Flt Opn Zn: If enabled, an armed zone of any type Tmp/Flt Opn Zn
that is tampered or faulted will generate an alarm as
well as the tamper or fault condition. If disabled,
tampers and faults will never cause an alarm condition
(default=Yes).

10.7 Telephone Line Supervision

Ref #: [000401]
Scroll to the TLM Enabled TLM Enabled option. The panel will monitor TLM Enabled TLM Enabled
the presence of the telephone line and will indicate a trou-
ble condition if disconnected. If the TLM Enabled
selected, the system will test for telephone line faults. The
keypads will indicate any faults detected (default=Yes).
If the TLM Aud Bell TLM Aud Bell option is selected, the panel will acti- TLM Aud Bell TLM Aud Bell
vate the burg bell outputs when the system is armed with a
TLM trouble present; the panel will indicate a TLM trouble
at the keypad when the system is disarmed. If the option is
disabled, only the keypads will annunciate the trouble,
whether the system is armed or disarmed (default=Yes).
The TLM Tbl Delay TLM Tbl Delay will control the number of telephone
TLM Tbl Delay TLM Tbl Delay
line monitoring checks required before a telephone line
trouble is generated (Ref #: [00040206]). The panel checks
the telephone connection at 10-second intervals. Valid
entries are from 003 to 255 checks. The default setting is 003.

10.8 Test Transmissions

To ensure that the communication link with the central sta-
tion is functioning properly, the panel can be programmed
to send a test transmission signal.
In order to enable test transmissions, the Periodic Test
option must be turned on (Ref #: [000401], scroll to option;
Default = No). The transmission time of day and the num-
ber of days between test transmissions must also be pro-
grammed.
Periodic Tx Days
Ref #: [0004020400]
Enter the number of days between test transmissions. Valid
entries are from 001 to 255. The default setting is 001.
If the Test Tx in Min Test Tx in Min communicator toggle option is Test Tx in Min Test Tx in Min
enabled, the 'Periodic Tx Days' counter will be the number
of minutes between test transmissions (Ref #: [000401]
scroll to option). If disabled, the 'Periodic Tx Days' counter
TLM Enabled option is TLM Enabled TLM Enabled
