Data Sheet

Central monitoring stations provide 24-hour system
monitoring with access to vital services. Professional
security personnel can test the system, monitor
system activity, and alert the police, fire department,
or other emergency response teams if necessary.
Functions
Programmable outputs
• Three programmable on-board outputs; one high
current using a relay, and two trigger outputs
• Output A, with a contact rating of 3 Amps, can supply
up to 1.0 A total current from AUX PWR
• Outputs B and C sink up to 50 mA at 12 VDC
• Four alarm-output patterns
• Programmable bell test
System response
• High-performance micro-controller provides industry
leading system response
• 20 custom point indexes
• Selectable point response time
• Cross point capability
• Fire alarm verification
• Dangerous gas indicator includes carbon monoxide
(NFPA 720)
• Watch mode
• A scheduled event (SKED) to perform several
functions, such as turn on (arm) the system, turn off
(disarm) the system, bypass and unbypass points,
and control relays
User interface
• Supervision of up to 4 keypads
• Custom keypad text is fully programmable through
RPS
• Full function menu including custom functions
• Authority by area and 32 character name for each
user
• 14 custom authority levels control user’s authority to
change, add, or delete passcodes to disarm or bypass
areas; and to start system tests
• Programmable primary and secondary language by
user and keypad; select from English, Spanish,
French, and Portuguese
Area Re-Arm
For higher security applications, this feature
guarantees that areas are always rearmed, and are
disarmed for no longer than a specific, configurable,
amount of time (for example, service time).
Custom functions
For added convenience, the installer can program one
custom function. A custom function allows customers
to complete complex tasks with fewer keystrokes. For
example, a custom function can bypass a group of
points and arm the system, allowing the user to
perform this function with one easy command.
Installers can use custom functions to control a
particular room. Customers activate a custom function
with a keypad, with a keyfob, by faulting a point, or
automatically as a scheduled event (SKED).
Passcode security
• Two-man rule. Requires two people with two unique
passcodes to be present at the time of opening.
• Early ambush. Allows users to verify that the facility is
safe by requiring two passcodes. The control panel
sends a duress event if the user does not enter the
passcode a second time after inspecting the
premises.
• Dual authentication. Requires two forms of
identification before processing certain system
commands, including turning off the system and
opening doors. A standard system user must have a
passcode, a credential (token or card), and
appropriate command authority permissions.
Easy exit control
The control panel changes from one On (armed) state
to another without turning off (disarming) the system.
For example, if you change the state from Part On
(Perimeter Arm) to All On (Master Arm), the control
panel complies and reports the change. Easy Exit
Control reduces the number of keystrokes, simplifying
system operation.
Programmable passcode-controlled menu list
Passcode-controlled shortcuts provide users only with
the options and information pertinent to them,
simplifying system operation.
Monitor Delay/Delayed Response
Create a special point index that delays the reaction of
a point for a specified time (up to 1 hour in minutes
and seconds). This delay provides time for the
specified condition to reset before activating any
annunciation. The system can annunciate locally and
send a report, if desired. When the system is armed,
the point can respond like a normal point – providing
dual functionality. Use this feature to ensure that
perimeter doors have not been propped open, or to
monitor critical areas such as computer rooms and
safes, for example.
System users
The system supports up to 10 users. Each user can
have a personalized passcode, a wireless keyfob, and a
credential to control the system. You can assign
passcodes to one of 14 customized authority levels
that can be restricted to operate only during certain
times. Programmable primary and secondary language
by user and keypad; select from English, Spanish,
French, and Portuguese.
Communication formats
The control panel prioritizes and sends reports to four
route groups. Network and phone communications can
use either the Modem4 or the Contact ID
communications formats. Each group has a
programmable primary and backup destination.
The control panel provides flexible communications for
most central stations with reporting capabilities such
as:
• Individual point numbers
• Opening or closing reports by user and area number
