5.6.3 Low AC Reporting Delay
The Low AC reporting delay is the delay between when a low AC input power condition is detected by the
panel and when it gets reported to the central station via the DACT. To be in compliance with UL 864, it
is required that this delay be set between 1 hour (60 minutes) and 3 hours (180 minutes). The HCA panel
allows for this parameter to be set between 1 minute and 990 minutes for installations that will allow this
time to be set outside of the 60 to 180 minute UL864 requirement.
Low AC Reporting
Delay (min): 180
Enter the number of minutes for the low AC reporting delay

5.6.4 Edit Accounts
There are 4 reporting accounts within the DACT which can be used for reporting the various reportable
events to different receivers and/or phone numbers. See table 6.1 for a list of all events that can be
reported to the central station and which reporting filter is associated with each possible event.
To edit any of the accounts, select Y (yes) and then enter. To skip past the edit accounts menus select N

5.6.4.1 Account Number
Each account has a 6 digit string called the account number that is sent to the central station to identify
which account is sending the event(s). The DACT allows up to 6 digits to be used for the account number.
If less than 4 digits are used, leading zeros are padded in front of the number to make the account number
have a minimum of 4 digits. Contact ID uses only 4 digits. The 4 least significant digits of the account
number are used for Contact ID; the upper 2 digits are not used with contact ID, even when more than 4
digits are entered for the account number. Account numbers for SIA can be 4-6 digits in length.
