Central Station Monitoring - Digital Monitoring Products XR20 Security Command Executive Series User Manual

Areas
An area is made up of burglary zones that can be armed or
disarmed together. The Perimeter area, for example, consists of
all the doors and windows on the outside of the building. When you
arm the Perimeter, these zones sound an alarm if tripped.

Central Station Monitoring

Your system can also be programmed to automatically send alarm,
trouble, and arming and disarming reports to a central station.
Operators at the central station can then dispatch the appropriate
authorities or contact you with the specific event information.
Status
Status is a feature that automatically displays the system armed
or dis armed status on the keypads. Alarm or trouble con ditions
on a zone or a system monitor such as AC or battery trouble can
also display. There are two types of status information available:
Status List and Armed Status.
Status List
The keypad Status List displays any alarm or trouble condition on
a zone and any trouble condition that occurs with the AC power or
battery power. If your system contains any Panic zones, these do
not display on the keypad for security reasons.
If an alarm occurs on a non-fire, 24-hour zone or a system monitor,
it remains in the Sta tus List until it re stores. If one or more armed
burglary zones trips, the last one to trip remains in the Status List.
The burglary zone alarm remains in the Status List for several
minutes or until it is cleared by disarming the system.
Armed Status
With Armed Status, the keypad displays the current armed condition
of areas within your security system.

The keypad displays
HOME MODE ON
PERIMETER ON
ALL SYSTEM ON
SLEEP MODE ON
Also, for keypads that include an Armed LED, the Armed LED is ON
steady anytime a burglary protection area is armed and OFF when
ALL areas are disarmed.
Zone Status
To display the status of a particular zone, enter the zone number
followed by the COMMAND key when the keypad displays the Status
List.
Exit Error
This is an automatic panel function that prevents an alarm from
occurring if an exit door does not close all the way after the system
is armed.
For example, if the front door is left ajar upon exit and the exit
delay time expires, the system attempts to arm the front door zone
but recognizes the open condition. The system sounds the alarm
sirens for two seconds to alert you of the condition.
If the open condition is not corrected, the system sends an Exit
Error report to the central station and force arms the door. If the
door closes at a later time, it is included back into the system.
The Exit Error feature allows the central station to acknowledge
the arming error without dispatching the police on a false alarm.
