System Option Descriptions
Enable Steady (Temporal) Siren new
If enabled this option will enable the Steady (Temporal) Siren tone and disable the Evacuation Siren tone for all fire events
and any zone that has this option set in its configuration group type.
Expanded Contact I.D.
The Hills Reliance can report all system device alarms with their individual point number if the expanded Contact I.D.
reporting is enabled (see F 22 – Seg 4 – Op 8).
First To Open / Last To Close
If enabled, the Hills Reliance will only send a closing report when the last area is armed. Note: the last area to arm must
have open/close reports enabled. The Hills Reliance will only send an opening report when the first area is disarmed. Note:
the first area to disarm must have open/close reports enabled (see F 22 – Seg 2 – Op 4).
Force Arm Bypass Reports
If enabled, the Hills Reliance restricts bypass reports when zones are forced armed. Otherwise, when a zone is forced
armed (and bypass reports are enabled), bypass reports are sent at the end of exit time. If forced armed zones re-seal
during the armed period, bypass restores are sent (see F 22 – Seg 5 – Op 5).
Limited Sirens / Communicator
If enabled, the Hills Reliance will only set one siren activation per zone and/or one alarm report per zone. This option must
be disabled if the siren and communicator attempt counter option is used. If limited communicator is enabled, restore
reports (if enabled) will be sent at disarm, otherwise restore reports will be sent as they occur (see F 22 – Seg 2 – Op 3).
Lost Clock
If enabled, the Hills Reliance will illuminate the service LED whenever the internal clock is interrupted (see F 22 – Seg 5 –
Op 1). E.g. Loss of power.
On-Board Zone Disable
If enabled, the Hills Reliance can disable the on-board hardwire zones. This is used when the Hills Reliance is used as a
totally wireless system (see F 22 – Seg 5 – Op 3).
Radio Remote Arm
If enabled, the Hills Reliance will activate the sirens every time the system is armed or disarmed with a key-switch zone or
integrated wireless keyfob. The sirens will chirp once for arming and twice for disarming. The strobe will flash for 3 seconds
for arming and 6 seconds for disarming (see F 22 – Seg 1 – Op 8).
Silent Exit Option
The exit delay can be silenced by pressing []-[Exit] before arming the control panel, or when using the re-exit option. The
exit delay can also be silenced permanently in all areas (see F 22 – Seg 5 – Op 6).
Tamper Siren
If enabled, all zone tampers and module tampers will set the system sirens (see F 22 – Seg 1 – Op 7).
Telephone Line Cut Siren
If enabled, it will set the siren for the siren time whenever the phone line monitor is activated. Reset the phone line siren by
entering a valid PIN code. This option sets phone line cut sirens in either armed and or disarmed mode. In a multi-area
system, ‘a system armed state’ would be represented by any area that is armed (see F 22 – Seg 1 – Op 1 & 2).
Two Wire Smoke new
On the Hills Reliance 128, if enabled Zone 8 and Com terminals are set for two-wire smoke detector compatibility when
Zone 8 is configured with zone type 28. Must use a 680 Ohm EOL resistor.
Voltage Output
If enabled, the on-board siren output will become a 1 Amp 12VDC output to drive 12VDC sirens (see F 22 – Seg 2 – Op 1).
Zone Doubling
If enabled, the 4/6/8 on-board zones will be doubled to 8/12/16 zones by using different resistors. E.g. on the Hills Reliance
12, zone 1 terminal will wire to zones 1 and 7, and zone 6 terminal will wire to zone 6 and 12. This option cannot be
selected for zones other than the 4/6/8 hardwired zones on the main panel. This option cannot be used in conjunction with
the Dual EOL option. (See F 22 – Seg 5 – Op 2). If zone doubling is enabled the Aux 4 two-wire smoke cannot be enabled.
Zone Inactivity Time In Hours new
If enabled the Zone Inactivity Timer in Feature 25 – Segment 11 will be set in hours not days. This feature is used when the
Zone Activity Monitor is enabled in the Zone Configuration Group type (e.g. F 68 – Seg 4 – Op 1). Zone activity is checked
hourly, so depending on the time of last activity there may be up to 1 hour delay before the zone activity is checked again
and Zone Inactivity event reported. For Zone Inactivity to report Zone Tamper Reporting must be set in Feature 9 –
Segment 1 – Option 7.
