Programming a Bell Delay
In commercial premises, it may be required to delay the Siren for a
programmed time when an alarm is triggered. To do this go to Engineer
menu, 2 for Alarm Type Menu, 5 for Siren Type. Press # to leave Siren
Type unchanged. The menu goes on to Siren Delay, 1 for on, 0 for off.
If a Phone Line cut is detected before or during a Bell Delay, the Siren
is activated immediately. Siren Delay can be turned on or off
independently for each Alarm Type, but the duration of the delay is
common, and is programmed in Location 51 (value in minutes). The
maximum dial delay is 255 minutes.
Programming a Dial Delay
To program a delay before dialing to the programmed telephones for
each Alarm Type, go to Engineer menu, 2 for Alarm type, 1 for Dial
Settings, press 1 for On, and 2 for Dial delay. Press 1 for Dial delay on,
0 for off. The dial delay can be turned on or off independently for each
alarm type, but the duration of the dial delay is common, and is found
in Location 161 for FS17 (U1 version A4.xx) and 2146 for FS18 (U1
version M4.xx). The range of dial delay is 0 to 255 seconds.
Disabling dialouts in Night (and Day) Mode
It may not be desirable to have Comfort dial out in Night Mode, when
people are at home. It will cause the owners cellular phone and/or
pager to ring, which is not necessary if they are at home. If the setting
in Location 40 to Repeat last zone is programmed ON, the keypad will
not announce the zone while dialing out. Hence it is preferable to
disable dialouts in Night mode unless someone outside the house, like a
relative or a Central Monitoring Station is to be notified.
To disable dialout in Night Mode, use default Response 31 = 73, 0, 68,
2, 100, 0,255. This Response is to be assigned to the Intruder Alarm
(and Panic, Tamper) Response (Eng Menu 2, Alarm#, 2). Action 100
Skips dialout to the phones specified (refer to “Programming with
Action Codes”
To disable dialouts in Night and Day mode, the Response should be 73,
0, 67, 2, 67, 3, 193, 100, 0, 255.
If Phones 1 and 2 are assigned to Central Monitoring Station, and it is
necessary to alert the CMS in Night Mode, the Response should be
73,0,68,2,100,2,255 which allows dialout to phones 1 and 2 only.
Omitting Zones (v4.96)
When a Zone is bypassed (F+1 on keypad, or User Menu 3,1), the
zone is ignored by the system until it is unbypassed, or the system is
disarmed (when all bypassed zones are automatically unbypassed). To
permanently “bypass” a zone, use the Omit Action (action 108, zone).
Omitted zones remain omitted until hey are unbypassed using action
76,zone. The Omit action can used for disabling a zone or group of
zones in a room or department using a keyswitch independently of the
