Built-in Telephone Line Monitoring Option
•
You can monitor telephone line voltage to supervise the phone line connection. You must connect the panel to a
proper earth ground or you will get a false line cut indication if this feature is enabled.
•
The loss of the line can optionally cause a local display, or a display and trouble sound.
Event Logging
Keeps a record of up to 48 selected events in a history log. All control and readout from the log is done via ADEMCO
COMPASS software only.
Quick Arm Feature
Quick Arm may be programmed , allowing use of the [#] key in place of the security code for arming (Quick Arm will not
work unless the Master code has been programmed into the system).
Alarm Output Features
•
Provides a 12VDC, 2 amp output that can drive the compatible sounders listed in Section 9: External Sounders
(assuming a fully charged battery is connected).
•
Steady output for burglary/panic, or temporal pulse output (3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses – pause – 3 pulses . . .) for
fire.
•
Uses current-limiting circuitry for protection.
•
Provision for Bell supervision.
Optional Bell Supervision
Red jumper on control board, when cut, provides supervision of bell wiring (when bell is wired with EOL resistor, as
indicated in the instructions).
Chime/Chime by Zone
Chime, when on, normally sounds when any entry/exit or perimeter zone is faulted. However, a "chime by zone" option,
when programmed, allows only specific zones to chime if they are faulted when the system is in the chime mode.
Auxiliary Power Output Features
•
Provides 12VDC, 600mA maximum (500mA maximum for UL installations). Uses current-limiting circuitry for
protection.
•
Interrupts for smoke detector reset if 4-wire smoke detectors are used.
Programming
•
Programmed options are stored in electrically erasable, nonvolatile EEPROM memory (information can be
reprogrammed at any time and will not be lost in the event of a power loss).
•
The system can be uploaded, downloaded, or controlled via an IBM-compatible computer, COMPASS software, and a
modem specified by ADEMCO.
•
Keypad programming consisting of:; Data field programming and Interactive (menu) mode programming.
To program from a keypad, you must connect a 6139 2-line alpha keypad, but it need not stay in the system.
Communication Formats Supported
•
ADEMCO Low Speed (Standard or Expanded)
•
Sescoa/Radionics (Standard or Expanded)
•
ADEMCO Express
•
ADEMCO Contact ID
Zone Descriptors
You can assign alpha descriptors to all zones (only when using alpha keypads).
AC Power Supply
Uses 1321/1321CN, 110VAC plug-in transformer with 16.5VAC, 25VA output, unless Powerline Carrier devices (for
example, X10 type) are used, in which case a 4300 Transformer Module must be used.
Backup Battery
Rechargeable (Sealed Lead Acid) 12VDC, 4AH-17.2AH. Refer to Section 12: Final Power-Up to calculate the actual
battery size needed.
