Solution

Sked Functions COMMAND 52

The Skeds feature tells your security system to automatically initiate certain system tasks at scheduled times. Each Sked instructs your system to initiate a specific task like disabling Opening/Closing Reports, controlling Relays, bypassing specified zones, etc.

COMMAND 52 lets you review and/or change certain aspects of the Skeds feature in your security system. Each Sked is programmed with either a time and/or date (January 01 to December 31) or day(s) of the week (Sunday to Saturday). The time is specified by the exact hour and minute with a 24-hour clock. The day or date of execution can only be changed by your alarm technician. You can only use COMMAND 52 while your system is disarmed.

COMMAND 52 will NOT operate while the system is Armed, Perimeter Armed, or during Entry or Exit Delays.

Before you can use COMMAND 52, you must enter a passcode beginning with the digit "8" that was programmed into your security system by your alarm technician Please consult your alarm company before making any changes to the Skeds functions.

Sked functions associated with each Alpha II Function Key (A, B, C, D): In the COMMAND 52 Mode, the function keys (A, B, C,D) are used for selecting functions related to the Skeds feature and are different from their normal operation.

This function displays the Number and Type of each active Sked. There are two Sked Types: Type 1 (Date of Year) and Type 2 (Day of Week). You can review each Sked Type as it appears on the display of your Alpha II Command Center. After each active Sked has been displayed once, your security system automatically exits the "Active Skeds Review" function.
