General
The XL-4 and XL-5 Series Control-Communicators are fully programmable devices with
remote communication and control capabilities. Each control contains 8 hardwired zones
located on the main control panel with multiplex and hardwired expansion capabilities. The
expansion options include:
•
8 zone hardwire expansion (through 7105 module), providing a total of 16 hardwired zones,
or
•
XL–4 Multiplex polling loop expansion (through 7120 module), providing two wire
multiplex loop of 64 zones (total system capacity of 72 zones)
•
XL–5 Multiplex polling loop expansion (through 7126 module), providing two wire
multiplex loop of 120 zones (total system capacity of 128 zones)
The system can also be setup in a partitioned configuration. Partitioning allows the control
to look like as many as eight different protected locations to the Central Station. Each
partition will be assigned zones, users and keypads. The account numbers transmitted for
each partition are definable. Partitions can be setup to protect different functional areas of
the same location (example, office area vs. warehouse) or different premises within close
proximity (example, shopping center or multifamily complex).
UL
If a partitioned or double area installation is configured, UL requires that the following installation
requirements be observed.
1. All partitions or areas
must be
owned and managed by the same person(s).
2. All partitions or areas
must be
part of one building at one street address.
3. The audible alarm device(s)
must be
placed where it/they can be heard in all partitions or
areas.
4. The control cabinet itself
must be
tamper protected and connected to a 24-hour type zone so
that any unauthorized access to the control cabinet will cause an alarm.
The system also contains an event log that stores the past 128 events in time stamped order.
This event log can be viewed by the installer through a LCD keypad, retrieved remotely from
the PC Downloading software or automatically transmitted to a remote or local printer at a
specified time.
Programming of the control can be accomplished either through the LCD keypad locally, or
remotely from the Alarm Company location using the EZ-MATE PC Based Downloader. In
addition, remote operations can be performed.
