nuisance prevention circuitry
™
NPC™ requires that you change the way you test the system as NPC™ will bypass an input zone for 60 minutes.
If the system “sees” the same zone trigger three times AND the triggers are spaced less than an hour apart, the
system will bypass that input zone for 60 minutes. If that zone does not attempt to trigger the system during
the 60-minute bypass period, the zone’s monitoring will begin again at the end of the hour. If it does attempt
to trigger while bypassed, the 60-minute bypass starts over again.
Disarming and rearming the system does not reset NPC™. The only way to reset NPC™ is for the 60 minutes to
pass, without a trigger, or for the ignition to be turned on. This allows the system to be repeatedly triggered,
disarmed and rearmed, and still allow NPC™ to bypass a faulty zone.
When disarming the system, 5 chirps indicate NPC is activated. The LED will report the zone that has been
bypassed. (See
Diagnostics
section of this guide.)
