Remove panel power for 3 seconds and then reapply power to reset the system. For additional informa-

Question:
How do I interpret the Unit Status Reports? Can the codes be changed?

cannot be changed. Please note that programming a 0 into 2A (3) will disable the report and no Unit
Status information will be sent. Additional information about Unit Status Reporting Codes can be found
on page 18 in the programming section.
