The cause of low power (1.3V) at the motion detector in the FBII XL-4 system could be due to incorrect wiring, a faulty power supply, or excessive load on the circuit. The system operates at 12VDC with a maximum load of 2 Amps. Check the power connections, ensure proper polarity, and verify that other devices are not drawing excessive current. Also, confirm that the control panel is supplying the correct voltage.

A bypass signal will be transmitted to the Central Station if a bypass code has been programmed and the zone has been enabled for bypass.
Section 5 – System Operations Groups The system contains a concept known as groups. This allows multiple zones within a partition to be grouped together for bypassing and alarm transmission purposes. There can be up to 24 groups. HOW TO DEFINE A GROUP A programming option has been added to the zone definition section to define whether the zone should be considered as [part of a group.
Xl-4, XL-4B, and XL-5 Hookup and Installation Instructions Version 4 Group Unbypass Groups can also be unbypassed through the following command: Group Unbypass Procedure BYPASS [USER] 2 GP where: BYPASS = Bypass Key on keypad [USER] = User Code 1 keys GP = Group number (01 - 24).

User Programming Procedure CODE [USER] Depress the CODE key followed by the four-digit user access code. The user code entered must be a level 1, 2, or 3 user. Assuming that the user is authorized to perform programming within the specified partition the following displays will appear: (XL-4) (XL-5)
Xl-4, XL-4B, and XL-5 Hookup and Installation Instructions Version 4 Disarming To disarm the system from an armed state: Disarming Procedure: [USER] Enter a valid user code. The keypad display that appears on LCD keypads depends whether or not alarms have taken place while the system was armed.
Section 5 – System Operations Duress/Ambush The system contains duress capability, which can be obtained through use of a user code with an authorization level of 6. The duress feature will report to the Central Station based on the parameters defined as keypad condition number 4.
