UL AA
At the
UL AA
prompt, select
YES
to enable AA Mode or
NO
to disable AA Mode.
NO
is the default setting.
UL AA
involves check-in reports. Check-in reports are a
method of supervising the panel's communication with the receiver. To be UL AA
compliant, panels must check-in with the receiver every 6 minutes when armed.
The SCS-1 Receiver verifies that the next Check-in report is received at the
appropriate time. SCS-1/805 or higher firmware is required in the SCS-1 Receiver.
When AA is selected and the check-in fails after one minute, the panel sends a
WARNING: NETWORK TROUBLE
(S72) report on the
2ND LINE
. The next time the
HST report is successfully sent, the panel sends a
NETWORK RESTORED
(S73)
report over the
2ND LINE
.
If you select
YES
for
UL AA
, the
DISARM CHKIN
prompt displays. Press any
Select key to display
MINUTES: - RND
. Enter the number of minutes, from 1 to
6, between disarmed check-in reports. If any area is armed, the report is
automatically sent every 6 minutes.
To select
RND
(Random), press the top right select key.
RND
is the default
setting. Selecting
RND
causes the panel
to send the Check-in report at random
times. When all areas are disarmed, the panel sends the report randomly but
always between 5 to 60 minutes. If any area is armed, the panel sends the
report every 6 minutes.
Note
:
NET TRBL
, Network Fail Notification, is automatically enabled when
UL
AA
is enabled.
NET TRB
L allows the panel to detect a failure of the primary
host, send an S72, Network Trouble message, through the DD if it is
programmed as the second line. When the primary host restores the panel will
send an S73, Network Restored message.
If you select
NO
for
UL AA
, the
SUB CODE
prompt is displayed. Select
YES
if
the panel will send a Panel Substitution Code when communicating with the
receiver. The Panel Substitution Code increases the level of security by helping
to ensure that the panel sending the message to the receiver has not been
substituted by another panel. By default,
SUB CODE
is
NO
. When
UL AA
is
YES
,
the substitution code is always sent.
At the
CHECKIN: -
prompt, enter the number of minutes, from 0 to 240,
between check-in reports when the panel is armed or disarmed. Check-in
reports are a method of supervising the panel for communication with the
receiver. Enter 0 (Zero) to disable the check-in. The default
CHECKIN
is
1
.
Note:
When used for Fire Protective Signaling, the Check-in Time should not
exceed 1 minute.
Entering a
FAIL TIME
allows the receiver to miss multiple check-ins before
logging that the panel is missing. For example, if
CHECKIN
is 10 and
FAIL TIME
is 30, the receiver only indicates a Panel Not Responding after 30 minutes. The
FAIL TIME
must be equal to or greater than the
CHECKIN
time: If the
CHECKIN
is 10 minutes, the
FAIL TIME
must be 10 or more. The maximum
FAIL TIME
is
240 minutes. The default
FAIL TIME
is
1
(one).
Select
YES
at the
NET TRBL
prompt to Enable Network Fail Notification. When
UL AA
is enabled, this feature is automatically enabled.
When
NET TRBL
is
YES
and the panel detects a failure of primary host
communication, the panel will send an S72, Network Trouble message, through
the DD if it is programmed as the second line. Also, the trouble keypads will
sound a continuous tone and display “NETWORK -TRBL.” Press any key to
silence the tone.
When the primary host restores the panel will send an S73, Network Restored
message, through the DD if it is programmed as the second line. The
“NETWORK -TRBL” display will be removed from the keypad and the tone will
automatically silence.
