Activity Check
The Activity Check feature allows you to establish a time period during which the panel monitors
for activity but does not generate a No Activity Report.
If the panel fails to detect activity and the set time expires, a No Activity Report is generated and
sent to the central monitoring station, pager, or voice event notification.
Refer to Activity Check (Option 41) on page 18 for instructions on setting this panel feature.

Using Activity Check

After you have added Activity Check and established a time period for the option, the panel mon-
itors activity for the set time period. If the panel does not detect activity at least once, your cus-
tomer must either (1) actively trip a sensor or (2) press Status before the time expires.
For example, if the Activity Check option is set to 10, the panel must recognize an activity at
least once during the selected 10-hour period. If a sensor is tripped or the Status button pressed,
the 10-hour time period resets and the panel monitors a new 10-hour period.

If activity is not detected during the Activity Check Time Period:
The Status button flashes and the panel announces "Activity time warning. Press STATUS."
All X10-controlled lights flash during the announcement; this sequence repeats once each
minute for 15 minutes.
If Status is not pressed within 15 minutes of the announcement, the panel sends a No Activity
Report to the central monitoring station, pager, or voice event notification.
