How do I turn on perimeter watch mode?
Solution
Perimeter Watch Mode
COMMAND 6 is used to monitor the perimeter of your building when the system is disarmed. This is called the Perimeter Watch Mode. In this mode, the Command Center emits a short tone to alert you of entry or exit through the perimeter of your building. No alarms are generated by this mode except 24-hour alarms (e.g., fire, panic, duress, etc.). There is no tone for interior movement.
Application
This command is useful in a residential system when you want to monitor entrances or exits in your home. In commercial installations, the Perimeter Watch Mode can be used as a door chime to alert you when a customer or delivery person has entered your business.
To use COMMAND 6:
1. Ensure that your security system is disarmed. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The Command Mode indicator light comes on. 3. Press the 6 key. The system is now in the Perimeter Watch Mode. 4. To exit the Perimeter Watch Mode, press the COMMAND bar, and then press the 6 key.

How is point expansion configured, addressed and wired on the D6112 panel?
Solution
Connections:
1.) Install the First Device to the D6112 control by connecting one of the two White leads to terminal 11 (Data- first device). The Black lead will land on terminal 14 (common) and the Red on terminal 15 (+ 12Vdc). This device will be programmed as DEVICE 1.
2.) Install the Second Device to the D6112 control by connecting one of its White leads to the remaining White lead from Device 1. The Black and Red leads of the second device will connect to Common and +12Vdc respectively. This device will be programmed as DEVICE 2.
3.) Each additional device will be installed by connecting its White wire to the previous device remaining white wire until the last device. The remaining White wire on the last device will connect to the D6112 control terminal 13 (Data- last device).
Programming:
1.) Go to the Devices Module part of the D6112 handler and on line 4.1 Device#, select 1 for the first device.
a) On line 2 D1 Model, select the device model code (1=D610/611, 2=D620/D626, 3=D630/D636A, 4=D640) that pertains to the first device.
2.) Continue by selecting 2 on line 4.1 Device# for the second device and on line 4.2 D1 Model, enter that device model code. Continue until all devices are programmed.
3.) Address the points according to the device they are expanded off of. The zone location is comprised of the Device model code and the zone. The zones are identified by letter starting with A for the first zone and counting up alphabetically.
a) Onboard zones 1-8 use a device code of 0 and are addressed as 0A-0H.
b) Zones 9 and up would be addressed 1A, 1B and so on.
Note: It is not required that zones 1-16 be located on any particular device or in any particular order. It is advisable that the system be laid out in a logical order for future reference.
