11.10 Bypass Recall
This feature permits users to reinstate the last zone bypass entries saved in memory. When the system is disarmed, the bypass
entries will be erased. By using the "bypass recall" feature, you can reinstate the previous bypass entries saved in memory. While
in the "bypass mode", press the [
BYP] + [ENTER] keys and the previous bypass status will be re-established. This eliminates the
need to re-enter the bypass entries every time the system is armed. If a user is in the process of entering new bypass entries on
the keypad, pressing the [BYP] key will override new information and reinstate previous bypass entries.
11.11 Keypad Chime Zones
A chimed zone "advises" you when a zone is opened by creating a rapid intermittent beep tone (beep-beep-beep-beep-beep). Up
to six zones plus the local keypad zone can be programmed as chime zones. To turn on the "chime zone" feature, press and hold
the key corresponding to the desired zone ([1] to [6]) for three seconds until the intermittent chime beep is heard. This means that
the chime feature has been activated. If a continuous beep is heard, this means that the chime beep has been deactivated. To
enable the chime feature on the keypad zone, press and hold the [8] key for three seconds. To mute the keypad's alarm sounder,
press and hold the [9] key for three seconds until the intermittent chime beep is heard. This means that the muting feature has
been activated. If a continuous beep is heard, this means that the muting feature has been deactivated. If there is more than one
keypad in the system, please "chime" program each keypad separately. Keypad chimes must be reprogrammed if the panel
suffers a total power loss.
Key [1]-[6]: Turns chime "on" or "off" in zones numbered 1-6
Key [8]: Turns chime "on" and "off" for the local keypad zone
Key [9]: Turns the keypad's alarm sounder muting "on" or "off"
11.12 Trouble Display Monitoring
Trouble conditions are continuously monitored by the control panel, which recognizes and displays 10 different trouble conditions
on the keypad. When a trouble condition occurs, the [TRBL] key will illuminate and the keypad will emit an intermittent beep if the
Audible Trouble Warning (see section 10.11) is enabled. Press the [
TRBL] key to switch to "trouble display" mode. The [TRBL] key
will flash and any illuminated keys correspond to a current trouble condition as described below. Press any key to exit the "trouble
display" mode.
11.12.1 No Battery/Low Battery - Key [1]
The control panel conducts a dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds. The illumination of the [1] key indicates that the
back-up battery is disconnected or that the battery should be replaced, as it will not provide adequate back-up current in case of
AC loss. If the control panel is currently running on battery power, the illumination of the [1] key indicates that the battery voltage
has dropped to 10.5 volts or lower.
11.12.2 Power Failure - Key [2]
The control panel conducts a dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds. The control panel will detect a power loss if a
continuous loss of AC (≤12.5V) has occurred during the period between two AC power tests (64 to 116 seconds). If a power loss
remains present throughout the Power Failure Report Delay (see section 6.9), the panel will transmit the report code
programmed at address 507 and the [
TRBL] key will flash rapidly indicating a power failure. The trouble indicator is restored if AC
is detected during the dynamic battery test. You can remove the power failure trouble indicator from the trouble display by
enabling the Exclude Power Failure From Trouble Display option (see section 10.10).
11.12.3 Bell Disconnected - Key [4]
The illumination of the [4] key indicates that there is no bell or siren connected to the bell output terminals of the panel.
Please note that when connecting a bell or siren to an optional relay output the trouble indicator will always be on. To
avoid this, connect a 1KW resistor across the bell output. The control panel only recognizes bells or siren connected
directly to the bell output of the control panel not those connected through a relay.
11.12.4 Maximum Bell current - Key [5]
The bell output is microprocessor controlled and will automatically shutdown when the current exceeds 3A. If this
occurs, the [5] key will illuminate. After opening the short or reducing the load, the bell current is restored upon the
following alarm generation.
This trouble indicator will only appear when the bell is activated (i.e. during an alarm)
