Select Yes for the panel to check-in at the number of minutes selected.
Select Random for the panel to check-in at random times from 6 to 60 minutes when all areas are
disarmed. If any area is armed, a check-in is sent every 6 minutes.
Select Adaptive for a backup path to adapt to the check-in programming from this groups primary
path if the primary path becomes unavailable. Check-in programming includes Check-in and Fail
Time.
Select Adaptive 3 for a backup path to adapt using a three (3) minute Check-In and Fail Time if
the primary path becomes unavailable. This option will also indicate a Communication Trouble S10
if the cell tower is unavailable for three (3) minutes.
Check-In Minutes: If Yes is selected for Use Checkin, enter the number of minutes between check-in
reports, from 2 to 240 for NET and 232 or 4 to 240 for CELL, when the panel is armed or disarmed. For
CELL or 232 the default is 0. For NET the default is 200.
Fail Time: Entering a Fail Time allows the receiver to miss multiple check-ins before logging that the
panel is missing. The maximum fail time is 240 minutes.
For example, if Checkin is 10 and Fail Time is 30, the receiver only indicates a panel not responding
after 30 minutes. The Fail Time must be equal to or greater than Check-in Minutes. If Check-in
Minutes is 10 minutes, the Fail Time must be 10 minutes or more. Default is 0 for Cell and 232.
Default is 240 for Net.
DD/CID Details
1st Telephone Number: This option displays for DD or CID Communication Types. This is the first
number the panel dials when sending reports to the receiver. Phone numbers can have up to 32
characters.
Enter P to program a three-second pause in the dialing sequence. The P character counts as part
of the 32 allowable characters.
Enter R as the first character for rotary (pulse) dialing. The R character counts as part of the 32
allowable characters.
Call Waiting: You can place the "* 7 0 P" (Star, Seven, Zero, Pause) in the telephone number first
position to cancel Call Waiting. For example, program NET with a backup path DD and phone
number *70P555-1212, and you have NET with Call Waiting canceled on the backup path.
Caution: A call waiting cancel programmed on a non-call waiting telephone line would prevent
communication to the central station.
Second Telephone Number: The panel dials the second number when two successive tries using the
first number fail. If the panel cannot reach the receiver after two attempts using the second number,
it returns to the first number and makes two additional attempts. A total of ten dialing attempts are
made using the first and second phone numbers. See Alarm Switch describing an exception for Alarm
messages.
Should all ten attempts fail, the panel continues to attempt sending the message using the next
programmed path. If all programmed communication paths fail, the panel clears the communication
buffer and makes one communication attempt each hour to send a TRANSMIT FAILED (S87) report to
the receiver. Access the User Menu Display Events feature to view the report information not sent to
the receiver or download the report with DMP Remote Link™ software.
Comm Type Details
Encryption (XR550 with Encryption or XR500E only): This option displays if the Communication
Type is NET. Select 128 bit or 256 bit from the pull-down menu to enable encryption for the path
