Recommendations for Reducing False Alarms
The recommendations contained in this section are designed to assist you in reducing false alarms. The first column
contains the Command Locations and Digit Positions in parentheses ( ). The second column is the recommended program
option followed by a brief explanation.
Program Option CL Program Function Comments
Arming/Combination 08 (5) Combination This feature is enabled to prevent unauthorized users from
Options Command activating certain keypad functions. When activated, this com-
mand will require a valid User Combination to perform such
functions as Bypassing a Zone, Group Bypassing, Keypad
Activated RPS, Central Station and Bell Testing, and Instant
Arming. For more help with commands requiring User Combina-
tions, see page 22(Command Summary).
Loop Control 1D - 22 (1) Loop Response This option determines the response time of the loop itself. It acts
Time as a buffer on the loop to minimize the possibility of fast acting
sensors, such as swingers or window foil, producing false
alarms.
Loop Control 1D - 22 (3) Loop Restore This option is used in conjunction with CL 15 Digit Posi-
Type tion (5), Restore Reporting Code, and CL 15 (1), Event
Report Receiver Select. The panel can be programmed
to send a Restoral Report only when the loop is normal and
the system is disarmed. With this arrangement, any loop
which is triggered multiple times while armed will only send
one alarm report until the system is disarmed. This
prevents the system from tieing up the phone line with
continuous alarm and restoral reports.
Loop Control 1D - 22 (4) Loop Arming There may be occassion where it is desirable to program all
doors
Type and interior points as delayed. Or you may need to program
interior zones to be delayed only during the Entry/Exit Delay
Time. This Command Location allows a variety of Arming Types
to help minimize false alarms.
Event Reporting 15 (1 & 3) Cancel Report This feature should always be enabled on reporting systems,
Code/Cancel especially if the system does not send Opening and Closing
Report Receiver Reports. A Cancel Report is sent to the monitoring station in
Select the event that an Authorized User clears the alarm while the bell
is still active. The Cancel Report Code (Digit Position 3) is
actually
a two-digit code with the first digit being programmed by the
installer and the second digit being the User ID # when the report
is sent. Digit Position (1) determines which receiver gets the
Cancel Report.
Loop Switches 25 (1 - 6) Delay Before This option programs the loops to have a delay after they are
Dial triggered to allow the User time to shut down the system in the
event of an accidental triggering of the zone. The amount of time
is determined by the value programmed into CL 1B Digit Position
(4). The time delay may be between 10 and 60 seconds, in 10
second intervals.
