9. Event Log
The IDS 805 automatically keeps an internal log of all events which may be communicated through the
onboard communicator. 200 of the most recent events will be retained. Once the event log is "full”, the
oldest event will be overwritten by the most recent event. An event is logged regardless of whether or not
the panel is programmed to communicate the event.
The event log can only be retrieved by means of the Windows based download/upload software and
appropriate modem.
The time of each event is not logged in absolute terms i.e. time of day and date but relative to the
previous event. The date and time indicated on an uploaded event log is calculated by the PC using the
PC clock time. Since the time at which the upload event was initiated is known, all other times can be
calculated relative to this event.
The IDS 805 does not contain an onboard battery to maintain the clock time in the event of a total power
failure (AC mains failure and discharged battery) therefore in the event of a total power failure it will not be
possible to calculate the absolute time at which an event took place. The relative time of each event will
still be indicated
10. Dialler Progress Mode
When the panel sends data to a central station, the keypad zone LED's may be used to display the
"progress" of such communication. To view the communication status, proceed as follows:
1. Hold down the [0] key until the keypad buzzer sounds once.
2. Press the [9] key. The ARMED, READY and AWAY LED’s will flash simultaneously indicating that
the Dialler Progress Mode has been selected. Using the zone indicators, the following table will
provide the communication status.
3. To exit this mode, press the [#] key.
