it automatically attempts to transmit the event when communications are restored.
Remote Firmware Upgrade
Firmware upgrades can be automatically pushed to the alarm panel and modules from Connect 24
or DLS. A message is displayed on LCD keypads indicating a firmware upgrade is available. On all
keypads, the blue proximity tag bar flashes one second on - one second off.
Users authorize the firmware upgrade through [*][6][Master Code][17].
During the update, a message indicating that a firmware upgrade is in progress is displayed on the
LCD keypad. If the firmware update fails, an error message is displayed on LCD keypads.
Firmware updates are performed under the following conditions:
• The system is not armed
• No AC trouble is present
• No low battery trouble is present
• No FTC trouble is present
• Every alarm in memory has been viewed
