Specifications

Functions
Programmable outputs
• 500 mA not to exceed 1.3 A total current for a
burglary system, or not to exceed 1.0 A total current
for household fire applications
• 800 mA auxiliary power at 12 VDC
• Four alarm-output patterns
• Programmable bell test
• Three programmable outputs; high current using a
relay, and two trigger outputs
• Output A contact rating is 3 A
System response
• High-performance micro-controller provides industry
leading system response
• 20 custom point indexes
• Selectable point response time
• Cross point capability
• Fire alarm verification
• Dangerous gas indicator includes carbon monoxide
(NFPA 720)
• Watch mode
• Scheduled events (SKEDs) perform several functions,
such as turn on (arm) the system, turn off (disarm)
the system, bypass and unbypass points, and control
relays
User interface
• Supervision of up to 8 keypads
• Custom keypad text is fully programmable through
RPS
• Full function command menu including custom
functions
• Authority by area and 32 character name for each
user
• 14 custom authority levels control user’s authority to
change, add, or delete passcodes to disarm or bypass
points; and to start system tests
Area configurations
Area programming offers a wide selection of different
system configurations. The control panel assigns an
account number to each area to define annunciation,
control, and reporting functions. Make area arming
conditional on other areas (master or associate), if
desired. You can configure any area for perimeter and
interior arming, not requiring a separate area for this
function.
Custom functions
For added convenience, the installer can program
custom functions that allow customers to complete
complex tasks with fewer keystrokes. For example, a
custom function can bypass a group of points and arm
the system, allowing the user to perform this function
with one easy command. Installers can use custom
functions to control a particular room. Customers
activate custom functions with a keypad, with a key
fob, by faulting a point, or automatically as a
scheduled event (SKED).
Passcode security
• Two-Man Rule - Requires two people with two unique
passcodes to be present at the time of opening.
• Early Ambush - Allows users to verify that the facility
is safe by requiring two passcode entries at the same
keypad, sending a duress event if the user does not
enter the passcode a second time after inspecting the
premises.
Easy exit control
The control panel changes from one On (armed) state
to another On (armed) state without turning of
(disarming) the system. For example, if you change the
state from Part On (Perimeter Arm) to All On (Master
Arm), the control panel complies and reports the
change. Easy Exit Control reduces the number of
keystrokes, simplifying system operation.
Programmable passcode-controlled menu list
Passcode-controlled shortcuts provide users only with
the options and information pertinent to them,
simplifying system operation.
Flexible control
The system provides the flexibility to choose added
convenience or high security. For example, you can
restrict to a keypad's immediate local area turning on
(arming) and turning off (disarming) the system with a
passcode, even if the user has access to other areas.
This is particularly useful for high security areas,
where a user may have access to the area, but would
prefer to only turn off (disarm) the area individually
rather than with the rest of the system. Another option
is to program the system to turn off all areas the user
can access from any keypad.
Invisible walk test
A menu item allows the user to test invisible 24-hour
points within the scope of the keypad without sending
a report to the central station.
System users
The system supports up to 32 users, each can have a
passcode and a wireless key fob. User passcodes
contain three to six digits. You can assign passcodes
to one of 14 customized authority levels in each area
and can be restricted to operate only during certain
times.
Communication formats
The control panel prioritizes and sends reports to four
route groups. Network communication uses the
Modem4 communication format, whereas phone
communication uses Contact ID or Modem4
communications formats. Each group has a
programmable primary and backup destination.
The control panel provides flexible communications for
most central stations with reporting capabilities such
as:
• Individual point numbers
• Opening or closing reports by user and area number
• Remote programming attempts
• Diagnostic reports
