8.2.13 Communication Variables [370]
Swinger Shutdown (Alarms & Restorals)
This value defines the number of attempts (alarm and restoral pairs) per zone that the communicator will
make before it shuts down for that zone (“swinger shutdown”). Program a 3 digit number from 000 to
014. When programmed as 000, the communicator will not be shut down and all alarms will be
transmitted.
Note: The Bell and Event Buffer can follow Swinger Shutdown if enabled.
Swinger Shutdown (Tampers & Restorals)
This value defines the number of times the same system Tamper type event will occur before stopping
transmissions.
Swinger Shutdown (Maintenance Troubles & Restorals)
This value defines the number of times the same system Maintenance (Trouble) type event will occur
before stopping transmissions.
Notes: Fire Troubles will follow the Maintenance Swinger Shutdown Variable.
Communication Delay (seconds)
This value defines the delay before transmission. The delay is for zones which have the Transmission
Delay attribute enabled. Program a time from 000 to 255 seconds.
AC Failure Communication Delay (minutes)
This value determines the delay before an AC FAILURE or AC RESTORE is reported. The AC failure or
restoral is still displayed immediately. Program a time from 000 to 255 minutes.
TLM Trouble Delay
The number of valid checks (10 second interval) required before a Telephone Line trouble is generated
is programmed here. Valid entries are 000-255 for trouble annunciation and transmission (LINKS)
delays of 10 to 2550 Seconds (42.5 Minutes).
Test Transmission Cycle (Land-line)
This value determines the period between Test Transmissions for the Land Line. Valid entries are [000]-
[255]. Whether this interval is in minutes or days is determined on Section [702], Option 3.
Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay (in days)
When a zone reports a low battery condition, the trouble condition will be indicated immediately on the
keypad, but the transmission to the monitoring station will be delayed by the number of days programmed in
this section. If the user does not correct the low battery condition before the delay expires,
the low battery condition will be transmitted.
The Low battery alarm and restoral codes will only be reported once per armed period.
The Low Battery Restore transmission is not delayed.
Delinquency Transmission Delay
The value in this section determines the period of time that the Delinquency Event will be postponed until it
logged to the Event Buffer and transmitted. Whether this value is in hours or days is determined if
Delinquency is for Activity (hours) or Closing (days) as specified in Section [380] Option 8.
[371] Test Transmission Time of Day
Program the time of the test transmission in this section. Enter a 4-digit time using the 24 hour clock format (HH:MM). Valid
entries are from 00 to 23 for the hours (HH) and 00 to 59 for the minutes (MM).
To disable the test transmission, enter [9999] in this section.
