Troubles, on the other hand, are latched conditions and require entry of a valid user code or
the reset function to clear. In addition troubles can be defined to transmit signals to the
Central Station, and activate on-board relays or triggers much like an alarm condition.
Typically troubles will be used for applications which have a trouble condition which requires
annunciation such as Fire Trouble, or Foil Break.
Troubles can not activate relays in the XL-4705 relay module. Troubles can only activate the on-
board relays.
Trouble types are used to define the reporting codes and characteristics for different trouble
conditions. Each zone definition will define the physical parameters that constitute the
trouble condition as questions 162 & 163. In addition each zone will specify a Trouble Type.
The TROUBLE Type questions below display the TROUBLE Type number as TRBx where x will
be the actual Trouble Type from 1-8.
Select Trouble Type
129 SEL TRB TYPE
0 0 = SKIP
This display requests the Trouble Type that you want to access. The valid choices are 1-8 and
an entry of 0 will skip the Trouble Type questions and proceed to the zone definitions.
After completion of the last question of the Trouble Type sequence this display will appear
with the next sequential Trouble Type as the selected value.
Trouble Type Description
130 DESCR TR x
__________
The Trouble Type descriptions are used to provide English language text on the first line of
the LCD keypad. The descriptions are not transmitted to the Central Station.
Enter up to a ten-character description to be associated with this Trouble Type. If the system
contains an LCD display then this description will appear on the first line of the display
when a trouble condition has activated.
Examples of Trouble Type descriptions might include FIRE TRB, TROUBLE, LOW
BATTERY, SYS ERROR, etc. The Trouble Type description should apply to the general
condition rather than the specific zone. The second line of a trouble display on an LCD
keypad will contain the sixteen-character zone description entered in question 144. An
explanation of how to enter text through the LCD display can be found in section 4 of this
manual.
Trouble Type Central Station Code
131 CS CODE TR x
_ ( 0 - F )
Indicates the code transmitted to the Central Station for this Trouble type. The placement of
the code in the transmission depends on the Central Station receiver format selected.
The control panel can transmit to two separate Central Stations and these two receivers can
have different formats. NOTE: For all 2-digit reporting formats (3x1 partial or ext., 4x1
partial or ext., 3x2, and 4x2) this represents the first of the 2 digits. The second digit is the
respective CS code, ex: zone CS code, low batt CS code. etc. In a standard format (3x1 or 4x1)
