Smoke Detector Low Battery Warning

Upon detection of a low battery from a transmitting device assigned as a Fire zone type, the panel will start a

warning beep, the STATUS LED will flash the low battery condition will be displayed (RKLCD keypads only).

Pressing the STATUS key will silence the warning beeps, the STATUS LED will remain solid. The low battery

condition will continue to be displayed on the RKLCD.

UL requires the low battery warning feature alert the homeowner of a continuing low battery condition at least

every 4 hours until such time that battery is replaced. If a low battery condition still exists, within 4 hours the

panel will restart the warning as described above.

Note: If programmed a transmitter low battery warning report (see Zone Options 1) will be sent

to the Central Station upon initial activation of condition. If programmed a transmitter low

battery restore report will be sent to Central Station when condition is corrected.

RF Jam Detection

RF jam detection feature senses when a radio receiver is being jammed or an interference exists which could

possibly prevent proper operation of the receiver. The receiver will detect any interference that persists for 20

seconds or longer. The Bridge board polls each receiver every 30 seconds for a jamming condition. A jam

condition is detectable within a maximum of 60 seconds of the 20 second (or longer) interference.

A detected RF jam causes the panel to produce a trouble warning beep and flashing of the STATUS LED on the

keypad. Pressing the STATUS key will silence the beeping and cause the panel to speak the message, "Receiver

Overload". The status condition will clear when the interfering signal goes away.

Note: No central station reports are associated when this condition is detected.

Smoke Verification

Enable Verification: Smoke verification in the panel is handled as follows:

1) Smoke verification works with on-board hardwire and the 2-wire smoke loop only.

2) RF and keypad smoke zones do not use smoke verification, they will

activate a smoke alarm after the first trip.

3) While a smoke verification sequence is active, the smoke reset function is

locked out.

4) For zones that can use smoke verification, no audible notification is given for the

first trip. If the zone is set to show open/close, this will show up as an open only.

5) Smoke verification must be enabled with option 001 in location 0246. It is

disabled with 000 by default. (Must be enabled for UL installation.)

Smoke reset sequence: Upon the trip of an on-board or 2-wire smoke zone, the smoke power relay activates

and drops smoke power. The relay will remain off for the period in seconds that is

programmed in location 0247. A value of 000 is treated as 256 seconds. The default

is 005 (5)seconds. During this period, all on-board and 2-wire smoke zone trips are

ignored. Location 0247 must be 010 (10 seconds) for a UL installation.

After the power off delay is completed, the panel will restore smoke power and start a

settling delay. The period of this delay is determined by the value in seconds that is

programmed in location 0248. The default value is 010 (10)seconds. During this

period, all on-board and 2-wire smoke zone trips are ignored. Location 0248 must be

025 (25 seconds) for a UL installation.
