BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions
45
Comm 2 Backup. Directs the system to automatically send
reports to the backup communicator when all attempts to send
the report to communicator 1 have failed. Program “yes” to
enable this type of backup reporting.
Comm Enable. Activates the communicator, allowing it to
report events. This topic does not affect remote programming
(Downloader Imagine sessions). Program “yes” to allow the
communicator to send reports.
Comm Name. Describes the device being telephoned. Giving a
communicator a name allows you to easily identify it. Examples
of communicator name could be “central station,” “emergency
backup receiver,” etc. Enter up to 24 letters or numbers.
Comm Test (Report). When test reports are enabled, this
sends the Test Report code to the specified communicator.
Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting.
Comm Type. Identifies the protocol used by the control system
for reporting of events. The SIA protocol is used for reporting to
central station receivers.
Confirm Fob Bell. Turns the bell output on for two seconds
whenever the system is armed or disarmed. (This includes Arm
with Motions Off.) When this topic is enabled, a strobe is
normally connected to the bell output. Program “yes” to enable
this form of confirmation.
---- D ----
Daylight Savings. Instructs the system to automatically adjust
the system’s clock to compensate for Daylight Savings Time.
Program “yes” if the customer lives in a location where Daylight
Savings Time is observed.
Defer Test. Causes the system to skip a scheduled test report if
the system has successfully reported an event to the central
station during the programmed interval. Program “yes” to defer
test reporting under these circumstances.
Delay Display Enable. Instructs the icon Keypad to display the
seconds remaining in the entry or exit delay. The number
appears in the Keypad’s numeric display. Program “yes” to
enable this display.
Delinquent Days. Determines how long the system can remain
disarmed before a delinquent report is sent to the central
station. (In contrast, the system can remain armed indefinitely
without triggering a report.) Program 0-255 days, where 0
allows the system to remain disarmed indefinitely.
Device Error (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that an error has occurred on a device. Program
“yes” to enable this type of reporting.
Device Name. Describes the type or location of a device.
Examples could include “front door Keypad,” or “SE in
basement.” The device type is used as the default location for
each device. Enter up to 24 characters.
Device Tamper (Report). Tells the central station (or other
communicator) that a device has experienced a tamper
condition. Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting.
Dial Area Code. Identifies the long distance access code (1)
and the area code of the telephone number to be dialed when
reporting events. The default area code is 1800, which is used
for toll-free calling. Program the appropriate numbers for each
communication device in turn.
Dial Attempts. How many times the system tries to call the
reporting device before determining that a communication
failure occurred. When a dial-tone is detected, the system lets
the telephone ring for up to 45 seconds. If there is no answer,
the system hangs up, waits 30 seconds, and then tries again.
This process is repeated until the number of programmed dial
attempts has been reached. Program 0-15 attempts, where “0”
prohibits dialing.
Dial Phone Number. Identifies the telephone number to be
dialed for reporting events. Program up to 16 characters (the
additional characters allow you to enter extensions or other
necessary codes).
Dial Prefix. Identifies the special codes that are needed to
connect to an outside telephone line when placing a call. The
system dials this prefix before any call it places, except when it
is using a cellular connection. The standard characters are: 1)
access an outside line from a PBX system (8 or 9); 2) pause for
five seconds (,); and 3) wait for a dial tone (W). This topic is
located in the Advanced | System | menu and is global to all
communicators. Program the appropriate numbers or codes;
the prefix must be no more than eight characters in length.
Dialer Delay Enable. Directs the system to wait for the
specified amount of time before reporting an alarm on that
particular zone. (This topic is found in View/Edit Zone.) Program
“yes” to require the system to wait before reporting the alarm
condition. Note: dialer delays are ignored when there is a line
cut condition and the system is communicating through a
backup cellular link.
Dialer Delay Time. The number of seconds that must pass
after an alarm occurs before an alarm report is sent to the
central station. (This topic is found in View/Edit Account.) This
gives the user time to cancel the alarm without an alarm report
being sent. Program a delay of 0-255 seconds.
Display Time. Instructs the Keypad to display the current time
in its numeric display at times when the Keypad is otherwise
idle. The time of day is displayed in the upper left-hand corner.
Program “yes” to display the time.
Double Dispatch. Requires the user to press the emergency
keys (Fire, Medical, and Panic) twice within a three-second
period to trigger a soft zone alarm. Program “yes” to require the
key to be pressed twice before an alarm is sent.
Duress User Code. The user code that triggers a duress alarm.
Entering the duress code (User 12) causes a silent alarm to be
sent to the central station, but the system appears to operate
normally (arm or disarm). Program a code of your choice.
---- E ----
Entry Delay Time. The amount of time the user has, after
faulting the zone, to reach the Keypad and enter a user code.
Each entry/exit, forced exit, and follower delay zone can have
its own delay time. Program a delay of 0-250 seconds for that
particular zone.
Entry Tone Enable. Causes the Keypad to sound a steady
tone during the entry delay. Program “yes” to enable this feature
for the Keypad in question.
Exit Delay Time. The amount of time the user has to leave the
premises after starting the arming sequence. Exit Delays may
be assigned to individual Keypads and are programmed in the
Keypad section. All Keypads can be assigned the same Exit
