Recommendations for Reducing False Alarms
The recommendations contained in this section are designed to assist you in reducing false alarms. The first column contains
the Command Locations and Digit Positions in parentheses ( ). The second column is the recommended program option followed
by a brief explanation.

Arming/Combination 08 (5)
Combination
This feature is enabled to prevent unauthorized users from
Options
Command
activating certain keypad functions. When activated, this com-
mand will require a valid User Combination to perform such
functions as Bypassing a Zone, Group Bypassing, Keypad
Activated RPS, Central Station and Bell Testing, and Instant
Arming. For more help with commands requiring User Combina-
tions, see page 22 (Command Summary).
Loop Control
1D - 22 (1) Loop Response
This option determines the response time of the loop itself. It acts
Time
as a buffer on the loop to minimize the possibility of fast acting
sensors, such as swingers or window foil, producing false alarms.
Loop Control
1D - 22 (3) Loop Restore
This option is used in conjunction with CL 15 Digit Position (5),
Type
Restore Reporting Code, and CL 15 (1), Event Report Receiver
Select. The panel can be programmed to send a Restoral Report
only when the loop is normal and the system is disarmed. With
this arrangement, any loop which is triggered multiple times while
armed will only send one alarm report until the system is dis-
armed. This prevents the system from tying up the phone line
with continuous alarm and restoral reports.
Loop Control
1D - 22 (4) Loop Arming
There may be occasion where it is desirable to program all doors
Type
and interior points as delayed. Or you may need to program
interior zones to be delayed only during the Entry/Exit Delay
Time. This Command Location allows a variety of Arming Types
to help minimize false alarms.
Event Reporting
15 (1 & 3) Cancel Report
This feature should always be enabled on reporting systems,
Code/Cancel
especially if the system does not send Opening and Closing
Report Receiver
Reports. A Cancel Report is sent to the monitoring station in
Select
the event that an Authorized User clears the alarm while the bell
is still active. The Cancel Report Code (Digit Position 3) is actually
a two-digit code with the first digit being programmed by the
installer and the second digit being the User ID # when the report
is sent. Digit Position (1) determines which receiver gets the
Cancel Report.
Loop Switches
25 (1 - 6)
Delay Before
This option programs the loops to have a delay after they are
Dial
triggered to allow the User time to shut down the system in the
event of an accidental triggering of the zone. The amount of time
is determined by the value programmed into CL 1B Digit Position
(4). The time delay may be between 10 and 60 seconds, in 10
second intervals.
