Exit Error
If enabled, the Hills Reliance will send an ‘Exit Error Report’ if an entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit delay
expires. This report will be sent along with the user number that armed the system, if the panel is not disarmed
before the entry delay expires. The alarm report will also be sent. Even if this option is not enabled, the siren will
sound if any entry/exit zone is faulted at the instant the exit delay expires. (See Feature 9 and 16)
Expander Trouble
The Hills Reliance will report expander trouble to the central station if enabled. This condition will illuminate the
‘Service’ LED on the code pad even if not reported. Note: The code pads are considered expanders. The number of
the expansion devices reported can be found in Appendix 3. (See also Feature 9 and 22)
Fire Alarm Verification
When enabled, the Hills Reliance will verify a fire alarm by waiting for a second trip on a smoke detector within a
specified time before creating an alarm (see Feature 25). To interrupt the smoke detector power (when in the
disarmed state) each time the [*] 7 keys are pressed, the corresponding LED(s) for zones designated as ‘Fire’ must
be on steady for alarm or blinking for trouble. When the ‘Fire Alarm Verification’ option is enabled, a smoke detector
will be powered down and reset automatically after the first trip, waiting for a second trip within a specified time before
creating an alarm. The communicator will delay for a specified time before reporting the alarm, if a valid code is
entered, the report will be aborted, and the smoke alarm verification option will be reset if enabled. If no valid code is
entered the alarm report will be reported to the base station. (See Zone Configuration Group Table and Feature 25)
Group Bypass
A designated group of zones can be programmed to bypass by pressing
[Bypass]
-

prior to arming.
(See Zone Configuration Group Table)
Internal Event Log
Up to 185 events can be stored in memory along with the date and time of the event. These events can later be
viewed through downloading or the LCD code pad. All reportable events report to the log.
Number of Calls and Rings to Answer
The Hills Reliance can count the number of calls and rings that must be met for automatic download answering.
(See Feature 13)
On Board Zone Disable
The zones on the main Hills Reliance control panel can be disabled in order to have a completely wireless alarm
system. (See Feature 22)
Partial Mode
Partial mode allows system owners to arm only designated partial zones (e.g. downstairs, front doors, garage),
bypassing all non-partial zones (e.g. upstairs bedroom). Partial mode encourages system owners to use their alarm
system more frequently when the premise is occupied. When armed in the ‘Partial’ mode, the opening of any zones
designated as ‘Partial Mode zone’ will initiate the code pad sounder and start the Partial Mode entry delay before
creating an alarm. All other zones will function as normal. (See Zone configuration Group Table and Features 16
and 25)
Siren Supervision
The Hills Reliance has a siren supervision circuit (Bell + and Bell -) that will constantly monitor the siren on the Hills
Reliance and can be programmed to report if the wires are cut. (See Feature 22)
Telephone Line Monitor
The Hills Reliance 128 and Hills Reliance 12 have a telephone line monitor that monitors the voltage and current of
the telephone line to detect a cut phone line. This condition can also be reported to the central station
after
the line is
restored. Not available on the Hills Reliance 8.
Twin Trip
This option requires two or more trips on a zone or zones programmed as ‘Twin Trip’ within a specified time before
reporting an alarm. During the time between trips, the Hills Reliance can be programmed to sound the code pad
and/or the siren. The Hills Reliance will also see an alarm activation if any Twin Trip zone that is continuously faulted
for longer than 10 seconds. (See Zone configuration Group Table and Features 22, 24, and 25)
