5.9.6 Delay Before Alarm Report Code Transmission
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
Option [7] OFF = Delay Alarm Transmission Disabled (default)
Option [7] ON = Delay Alarm Transmission Enabled for Selected Zone
When an alarm condition occurs on a zone with this option enabled, the control panel enables the bell/siren output, but
does not report the alarm to the monitoring station until the end of the Alarm Before Transmission Delay. To program
the Alarm Transmission Delay, key in the desired 3-digit delay value (000 = Disabled, 001 to 255 seconds) into section
[080]. During this period, disarming the system disables the bell/siren output and cancels the report code transmission.
This feature is commonly used with entry delay zones to reduce false alarms created by new users who may not
disarm the system in time.
5.9.7 Force Zones
Sections [001] to [015]: Zones 1 to 15
Option [8] OFF = Force Zone Disabled (default)
Option [8] ON = Selected Zone is Force Enabled
Any open Force Zones at the time of arming will be considered deactivated by the control panel (see page 44). If
during this period a deactivated zone is closed, the control panel will revert that zone to active status. Consequently,
the control panel will generate an alarm if the zone is breached.
Do not program a fire zone with the Force option, as the control panel will never bypass fire zones
when Force arming.
5.9.8 Keyswitch Options
Sections [001] to [005]: Option [1] and [2]
When an on-board zone is programmed as a keyswitch zone (see page 14), the control panel will ignore any other
Zone Option. The keyswitch can be programmed as a Maintained or Momentary Keyswitch and to Regular or Stay arm
(see page 44). A Maintained Keyswitch will arm the system when it is set to the ON position and will disarm when set to
the OFF position. To arm with a Momentary Keyswitch, set the keyswitch to the ON position then turn it back to the OFF
position. Repeating this sequence will disarm the system. Program the keyswitch with the following:
5.10 Zone Speed
Sections [050] to [064]: Zones 1 to 15
001 to 255 X 10ms, Default = 600ms
The Zone Speed defines how quickly the control panel will respond to an open zone. The control panel will not display an open
zone on the keypad or generate an alarm until the programmed Zone Speed has elapsed. All other zone definitions and options
do not come into effect until the Zone Speed has elapsed. This feature prevents any momentary glitches from causing an alarm
or unnecessary reporting.
5.11 EOL Zones
Section [132]: Zone Options
Option [4] OFF = Zones do not use EOL resistors (default)
Option [4] ON = Zones require EOL resistors
If all detection devices connected to the control panel have input terminals that require 1K end of line resistors, enable option
[4] in section [132]. For details on using EOL resistors, refer to Single Zone Inputs on page 5.
Option [1] OFF = Maintained (default) Option [2] OFF = Regular Arming (default)
Option [1] ON = Momentary Option [2] ON = Stay Arming
