Event Buffer

The panel will store the last 256 events that have occurred on the system. Each event will contain the time, date,
partition and the event itself along with the zone number, access code number or any other information
pertaining to the event.
If the Event Buffer Follows Swinger Shutdown feature is enabled the event buffer will not store events after
the swinger shutdown level has been reached. This will prevent the panel from overwriting the entire buffer if a
problem exists. (see Section 5.18 "Swinger Shutdown". )
The event buffer can be viewed three different ways. It can be viewed through an LCD keypad, printed on-site
using the PC5400 printer module or it can be uploaded through the DLS software.
