Issue How can the calendar be adjusted on the D8112? Solution Perform the following steps: Your security system has an internal calendar which it uses to schedule automatic test reports and other functions. This calendar can be programmed to run a weekly or monthly time schedule. If programmed for a weekly schedule, the display shows the day of the week followed by the number of the day (for example, MON 2). If programmed for a monthly schedule, the display shows the month, followed by the day of the month (for example, MAR 20). To use COMMAND 46: 1. Ensure that the security system is disarmed. 2.

Issue Arming 8112 without delays.   Solution   COMMAND 2 is used to arm only the perimeter of your building, leaving the interior of the building disarmed. This command allows no exit or entry delay time through the perimeter, including the designated delay door. Although this command does not send a "Closing Report" to the Central Station, it will still send alarms. Enter your personal passcode to cancel COMMAND 2. This arming command is useful in residential systems at night when everyone is home and ready to retire for the evening. In commercial installations, this arming command is useful when you are working late and you want the perimeter of the building armed until you are ready to leave. To use COMMAND 2: 1. Ensure all perimeter zones are secure. (Interior zones are not armed with this command and may remain faulted while arming with COMMAND 2. All faulted zones will be shown in the display.) 2.

NOTE: If you leave the building after the exit time expires,you may begin the entry delay, or initiate an alarm. If this happens,disarm your system by entering your personal passcode. If yoursystem reports to a Central Station, you may need to call themif an alarm occurs. COMMAND 1 is useful in applications where you want yourcleaning service, a serviceman or anyone to arm your system whenthey leave, but you don't want them to have the passcode to disarmthe system.
