Specifications

Retry Time: Enter the number of seconds (3 to 15 seconds) the panel should wait before retrying to

send a message to the receiver if an acknowledgment was not received. The panel will retry as many

times as possible for a period of one minute before sending a network trouble message. For example,

if Retry Time is set to 15, the panel will retry 4 times. The default Retry Time is 5 seconds.

Check-in Time: Enter the number of minutes (between 0 to 240 minutes) between check-in reports.

This occurs when the panel is armed or disarmed. Check-in reports are a method of supervising the

panel for communication with the receiver. When 0 (Zero) is entered the check-in feature is disabled.

Because host mode is not a polled communication method, the check-in reports allow an SCS-1 or

SCS-1R Receiver to confirm the communication link with the panel. The default Check-in Time is 1

(one) minute.

Fail Time: Entering a Fail Time allows the receiver to miss multiple check-ins before logging that the

panel is missing. For example, if Check-in Time is set to 10 and is Fail Time set to 30, the receiver

will only indicate a Panel Not Responding after 30 minutes. The panel will attempt to send the

message every 10 minutes.

The Fail Time must be equal to or greater than the Check-in Time. For example, if the Check-in Time

is 10 minutes, the Fail Time should be 10 minutes or more. The maximum Fail Time is 240 minutes.

The default Fail Time is 1 (one) minute.

Note: Host communication requires your SCS-1 Receiver to have firmware version 805 or

higher.

Notify Network Trouble: Select Notify Network Trouble to send a notification of network trouble.

When Notify Network Trouble is enabled and the panel detects a failure of the primary host, the

panel will send an S72, Network Trouble message, through the digital dialer (DD) if it is

programmed as the second line. Also, the trouble keypads will sound a continuous tone and

display "NETWORK -TRBL." Press any key to silence the tone.
