Security: Intrusion

Issue How can a REX sensor such as the DS150i or DS160 be used to shunt an armed point? Solution  The REX sensor can be used to shunt a normally closed contact by connecting the REX relay contacts that will provide closure when motion is detected in parallel with the door point to be shunted. When these contacts close, a short will be placed across the door point. The panel will see the door as closed for the duration of the REX relay time. Note: The REX relay Common to Normally Open and Common to Normally Closed contacts will reverse when changing from Fail Safe to Fail Secure mode. See NOTES for further clarification. Notes DS150i: In Fail Safe mode, use the Yellow and Violet wires on the first relay or the Gray and Green wires on the second relay. In Fail Secure mode, use the Yellow and Blue wires on the first relay or the Gray and Orange wires on the e second relay. DS160: In Fail Safe mode, use the relay contacts designated Normally Open to Common. In Fail Secure mode, use the relay contacts designated Normally Closed to Common.

Issue How do I Force Arm the System?   Solution   Force Arming the System Under normal conditions your Command Center cannot be master armed while there is a faulted zone. Force arming allows you to arm the system with any zone faulted other than priority zones. (Priority zones are zones that must be normal when the system is armed.) Force arming arms only those zones that are ready to arm; any zone faulted at arming time is bypassed (not armed). When force arming, a trouble report may be sent to the Central Station indicating that the system was force armed and which zone was faulted. A closing report may also be sent by those systems that are programmed for opening and closing reports. Force arming can be programmed to apply to most arming commands as well as your personal passcode. Your alarm technician will check the boxes below to indicate which arming commands can force arm your system. To arm with zones faulted: 1. Enter your personal passcode and press the ENT key, or enter an arming command (COMMANDs 1, 2, or 3). The Command Center then emits a "beep" tone with each keytouch indicating that a zone is faulted. 2. Press the COMMAND bar and then the ENT key. The system now arms all zones which are normal. NOTE: If the fault is restored (returned to normal) while arming, the zone will be armed. If the fault is restored after arming, how your system is programmed determines whether or not the zone will be armed with the rest of the system.

Keypad programming is available in GV3 panels with firmware revision 8.10 or higher.  NOTE: Keypad programming is not available during while an RPS programming session is active, or when any area is armed. Enter from normal operation: Press [9]+[9]+[Enter]. Select Keypad Programming. The keypad displays Enter Passcode. Enter the service passcode (default= 123). Enter from service mode (reset pin closed): D1255: Set the address to 16 with dipswitch: 1-5= OFF and 6= ON. The keypad displays Enter Passcode when the reset pin is closed. Enter the service passcode (default= 123). D1260: Set the address to 8 with dipswitch: 1-3= OFF and 4-6= ON. The keypad displays Enter Passcode when the reset pin is closed. Enter the service passcode (default= 123). The following options are available upon entering keypad programming: Phone Numbers – Phone 1 thru Phone 4 Phone Format - Phone 1 thru Phone 4 Enhanced Comm – Path 1 thru 4 Routing Route Groups 1 thru 4 RPS Parameters RPS Passcode RPS Phone Number RPS IP Address RPS IP Port Area Parameter – 1 thru 32 Account On – Yes / No Account Number Command Center 1 thru 16 Enhanced Command Center – Yes / No Command Center Scope – User Pass Code User 0 (Install Passcode) User 1 (User Passcode) Point Parameters D9412GV3: 1-247 D7412GV3: 1-75 D7212GV3 1 -40 Point Index Disable Keypad Programming
