Specifications

16 XR150/XR350/XR550 Intrusion/Access/Fire Detection Specification
7.0 FALSE ALARM REDUCTION FEATURES
The system shall be capable of providing false alarm reduction features, functions, capabilities, or processes that either
require alarms be verified or potential alarms be corrected before a system or zone can be placed into an armed state.
7.1 Exit Error Alert and Reporting
The panel shall be able to provide an automatic function to prevent a false alarm from occurring if an exit door does not
properly close after the system is armed.
7.2 Entry and Exit Delay Annunciation
A. When arming, the system shall provide clear annunciation indicators to the user about the need to exit the premises
prior to the exit delay time expiring.
B. When disarming, the system shall notify the user the need to disarm the system prior to the entry delay time expiring.
7.3 Remote Annunciation
The system shall be able to provide entry and exit delay time period notification. This notification can be from DMP
keypads, remote annunciators, or bell tests.
7.4 Abort Reporting
The system shall be capable of sending an Abort report to the central station if the system is disarmed while the alarm is
still sounding. The Abort report shall be sent after the alarm report to notify the central station that an authorized user
has cancelled the alarm.
7.5 System Testing
The system shall offer testing features that are simple, quick, and complete and provide the highest measure of safety by
ensuring that alarm conditions are detected and communicated to the proper authorities in a timely manner and on a
regularly scheduled basis.
7.6 Ambush Code
The system shall offer ambush codes for those dangerous encounters where the user is instructed to either arm or disarm
the system under threat of harm. The duress code shall disarm the system without giving local indication of an alarm
that might put the user well-being in jeopardy.
7.7 Two-Button Panic Feature
The system shall support DMP keypads that provide the option to use only two-button panic codes. The user shall be
required to press and hold two designated keys for approximately two seconds before the system generates a panic
alarm.
7.8 Fire Verify Zones
The system shall support Fire Verify zones to help the panel verify the existence of an actual fire condition before it
sends an alarm report to the central station. The Fire Verify zone shall require the panel to perform a Sensor Reset
whenever a device connected to a Fire Verify zone initiates an alarm. This shall begin a verification period during which
the panel waits for a second alarm initiation. If the original zone or any other Fire Verify zone on the panel initiates an
alarm within the next 120 seconds, the panel shall recognize this as an actual alarm and send an alarm report to the
central station.
7.9 Cross-Zoning Protection
The system shall support cross-zoning as a means of requiring two device trips to occur within a short period of time
before sounding an alarm and sending an alarm report to the central station. Supported device trips shall be from one
device that trips two times, or from two devices that each trip once.
7.10 Swinger Zone Bypassing
The system shall be capable of automatically bypassing a zone if it goes into an alarm or trouble condition a specified
number of times within a one-hour period. The panel shall be able to track the number of times the zone trips while
armed and compare that against a programmed number. When that number is reached, the panel shall be able to
automatically bypass the zone. The panel shall be capable of resetting the zone when the area to which it is assigned
disarms, is manually reset from the keypad or remotely, or remains normal for one hour.
7.11 Recently Armed Report
The system shall be capable sending a System Recently Armed report, along with a zone alarm report, to the central
station any time an alarm occurs within five minutes of the system arming. The System Recently Armed report allows
the central station operator to follow a “call the subscriber first” procedure instead of immediately dispatching the
police to what could be a false alarm.
7.12 Transmit Delay
The system shall be capable of programming the panel to wait up to 60 seconds before sending burglary alarm reports to
the central station. If an alarm is accidental, the user shall be able to disarm the system within the programmed
Transmit Delay time. An Abort report shall be sent in place of an alarm report after the system disarms. During the
alarm, sirens and panel relay outputs shall not be delayed and shall still provide local condition annunciation.
