FAP Timing: False alarm prevention inputs are
ignored unless triggered continuously for 10 seconds,
or if any (same/other) FAP sensor is tripped within 20
minutes. Note
: If the 2
nd
sensor is not FAP, this will
trigger an alarm on its own (at any time).
Similar to physical items in a system, custom point-
types pertain to an individual panel.
- Circuit Type: The type of circuit/wiring used
with the input point / sensor;
Director ≥V4.4: Input points associated with newer-
style modules use custom input circuits. (Related
links follow).

: Form C
-- Dual EOL wiring/supervision is required by ULC
(Canada), and recommended for all installations. The
actual wiring must also match the selection here.
- Event Instruction: This allows assigning
instruction text to appear in the
comment/resolution screen when an operator is
acknowledging an alarm from this sensor (input
point);
Note: To be available here, instructions must be
defined first:

Area
- Area: The area that this point is associated with
(for doors adjoining two areas, see the next
item);
- Buffer Area (EE Door points): Where a door
adjoins two areas, select the second area here.
The system will apply appropriate entry/exit
delays whenever only one of the two areas is
fully armed (ON).
Command 
This allows a button or sensor to command an aspect
or device for any (or all) panels in an account. This tab
appears only if the 'Point Type' (previous/above) is a
'custom type' set as a 'command point'.

Tip
: For additional operating details, refer to "Notes /
Attention" at the end of this section.
- Command Type: Whether the command is to
affect area(s), door(s), or system (panel-wide)
aspects.
Tip: Select a command type, and then look under
"Command" to see the available choices.
- Command: The specific action to occur when
the sensor/input is tripped.
Items separated with a slash (/): This performs a
'toggle' operation between the indicated states each
time the sensor/input is tripped.
(Force and Exit Delays)
: Exit delays means the
affected areas will get an exit delay warning rather
than arming immediately. Force (short for 'force arm')
means if a point is insecure, the area still arms, and
then the point will be reported as 'In Alarm').
Remote RTE
: Momentary unlock using the standard
duration.
Challenged RTE
: Momentary unlock using the
extended/challenged duration.
 Pertaining to Bad Card/PIN
: Refer to Bad
Card/PIN  under "Account-Wide Panel Settings".
 Pertaining to User Count
and Area Activity: Refer
to Counting  and Activity  in the 'Area'
configuration topic.
Various/Other
: See the command lists at the end of
"Maps and Video (Visual Monitoring &
Status/Control)".
- Multiple Panel Command: Whether or not the
command is to affect all panels in the specific
account (versus selecting a specific panel).
Note: For area and door commands, this would
typically be used with the "All" selection. (If you select
a specific door or area number, the command will
affect that area/door number for all
panels).
