Types. If the Alarm Type for a General Alarm is set to 0 (Nul Alarm),
there will be no alarm activated. For example, if the general Alarm Line
Cut is set to Alarm Type 0 by setting Location 7 to 0, the Security
off/Trouble led will not flash and there will be no trouble beeping sound
from the speaker and Keypad when the phone line is cut. Comfort will
still detect a line cut condition, and announce "Phone trouble" on the
local phone when the handset is offhook, but will take no alarm action.
Table 18 - Alarm Types (Engineer Menu 2)
Comfort provides 32 Alarm Types, which determines the alarm
behaviour of siren, speaker, strobe, Monitoring Station report codes,
dialouts, and other characteristics. Alarm Types are triggered either by
Zone Types or by General (Non-detector) Alarm conditions.
The Alarm Types menu allows for change in the following settings for
each of the 32 Alarm Types:
If Siren Delay is on, the siren will go on only after the siren
delay expires. . The Siren delay time in minutes is Location
51. The same Siren delay is used for all Alarm types which
are set for Siren Delay.

For Comfort, Monitoring Station reporting is determined by
Alarm Types rather than individual zones. This is a more
flexible system and easier to program, especially if Contact ID
is used, as default report and restore codes are already
programmed. The Report and Restore codes consist of 2
digits, each 0 to 15. For 4-2 type formats i.e. with 4 digit
account code and 2 digit report codes, setting the 2nd digit to
0 will cause the zone or user number to be reported in place
of the 2nd digit. For example for Intruder Alarm, if the Report
Code is 3,0, and Zone 2 triggers a report, the Report code
sent will be 32. To disable reporting, set both 1st and 2nd
digits to 15.
