Security: Intrusion

How to supervise the DX4020 on the SDI bus.

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. Press the COMMAND bar. The display should show SYSTEM COMMAND. 3. Press and release the 4 key, then press and release the6 key. The display should show SET DATE=(date disply). To set a new date display, simply enter the desired date with the number keys on the Alpha II keypad. See the directions on right for month mode or day of the week mode display adjustments.< /FONT> 4. When the display is correct, press the COMMAND bar to exit from this mode. If the COMMAND bar is not pressed, the new date will not be entered and the Alpha II will revert back to the original date displayed. If no keys are pressed for 20 seconds, the Alpha II automatically exits from this mode. Day of Month Schedule: EXAMPLE: To set a date of May 17, you would enter the following: Press the 0 + 5 keys ("05" is the code for May, the fifth month of the year), then press the 1 + 7 keys. The display shows SET DATE= MAY 17.

Issue D7112 Panel battery will not hold a charge. Solution A slow flashing (1 sec on, 1 sec off) yellow LED with the green CPU LED off indicates a power supply overload condition.  The panel detects the battery as missing and the power supply cannot meet the power demand of the devices on the panel. The panel is shut down.

Issue How can I tell a B series panel from a non B seies panel?   Solution   There are few ways. Look at the main eprom chip on the board, version 3.17 and under are a B series panel. It will also be labeled D9112B or D9112B1. Press CMD59 at a keypad, versions 3.17 and under are B or B1 series panels. Latch and unlatch the reset pin on the cpu. If it beeps for 8-10 seconds it is a B or B1 series panel.

Issue When uploading a program with a D5200 from a D8112 I get a message on the D5200 of AUX HAS BAD DATA. Solution This can be caused by one of two things: There is corruption in the AUX part of the program caused by uploading or downloading the control panel using a D5200 and not removing the keypad data wires off of terminals 30 and 31. This can be corrected by first removing the keypad data wires off of terminals 30 and 31 then receiving a copy of the program again if the D5200 still displays AUX HAS BAD DATA in the program go to AUX->ABCD and there will be strange characters in those prompts. Simply clear them out and send the program back to the panel then receive it again the error message should now be gone. The last time the panel was programmed it was programmed with a D5100 programmer. There are prompts in the control panel that can only be seen or programmed by the D5100. The prompts were masked off in the D5200 in order to reduce the amount of errors in programming. This error message would indicate that one of the prompts were set incorrectly when programmed with the D5100. This can be corrected by sending the program back to the control panel the receiving it again this will automatically change those prompts to the correct settings by the D5200 and the error message should no longer be displayed on the D5200. Procedure for sending or receiving the panel program: Connect the D5200 program cable between the D5200 Communicator port and the RJ-11 connector in the upper right corner of the D8112. Select the 8112 handler in the D5200 and press ENTER GROUP. Place the cursor on the correct 8112 version: D8112E, D8112E1, D8112G, D8112G1, D8112G2 or D8112A. Momentarily short Disable Restart (terminal 32) to Common (terminal 29). While the cursor is blinking beside the correct panel version, press RECV(COPY) to receive programming or SEND(LOAD) to send programming to the panel.  If the D5200 programmer has difficulty sending or receiving programming: Try removing serial data connections from the panel. Remove devices from terminals 29-32 by either removing wires from terminals, or remove the terminal strip from the right side of the control panel. Place a momentary short between Disable Restart (terminal 32) and Common (terminal 29). If the terminal strip has been removed, carefully place a jumper wire across the holes where terminal 29 and 32 would be.  If still receiving errors during attempts to copy the D8112: Check the D5200 programmer for adequate free memory and verify the 8112 handler is not corrupted. Turn on the D5200 and enter passcode Press the up arrow until DISK STAT displays and press ENTER GROUP. The following screen will appear: DISKSTAT Current Disk: A SizeKilobytes: 512 FreeKilobytes: XXX The number by “FreeKilobytes” should be 60K or greater to effectively operate the D5200.  Less than 60K could result in erratic operation of the programmer and possible corruption of panel programming. Check for corrupted handler:       Place the cursor on the panel type (8112E, 8112E1, 8112G, 8112G1, 8112G2 or 8112A) and press ENTER GROUP. Continue pressing ENTER GROUP on several levels of the program. If the message "BAD DATABASE FILE" appears, the 8112 handler is corrupted. Delete the 8112 handler immediately and use the update feature to obtain a new copy.

Issue How to arm entire system with delays.   Solution   To arm the entire system with delays, follow the steps below: COMMAND 1 is used to arm the entire system, both perimeter and interior zones. Once you have entered COMMAND 1, the exit delay time starts. You now have a predetermined amount of time to exit the protected area before the system arms. During the exit period, you may move through motion detectors or any protected area on your way to the exit door without causing an alarm. To cancel COMMAND 1, enter your personal passcode and press ENT. 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 and press ENT . If your system reports to a Central Station, you may need to call them if an alarm occurs. Application COMMAND 1 is useful in applications where you want your cleaning service, a serviceperson or anyone to arm your system when they leave, but you do not want them to have the passcode to disarm the system. COMMAND 1 arms the system, but it will not disarm the system. Arming with COMMAND 1: 1. Ensure that all zones are secure. All of the Zone Status indicator lights on the Command Center should be off. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The Command Mode indicator light comes on. 3. Press the 1 key. The PERIMETER indicator and the INTERIOR indicator lights begin to flash on and off. This indicates that the system has begun exit delay time. 4. To disarm your security system or cancel COMMAND 1, enter your personal passcode and press ENT before the delay time expires.

Issue How can the D8112 clock be set? Solution COMMAND 45 is used to adjust the time display on your Alpha II Command Center. When you enter COMMAND 4 the Alpha clock is shown in the display momentarily. By entering COMMAND 45, the clock is displayed and may be adjusted with the Alpha II keypad. IMPORTANT: The time should be checked and adjusted at least once a month to insure accuracy. 24-Hour clock settings 1:00pm = 13:00 5:00pm = 17:00 9:00pm = 21:00 2:00pm = 14:00 6:00pm = 18:00 10:00pm = 22:00 3:00pm = 15:00 7:00pm = 19:00 11:00pm = 23:00 4:00pm = 16:00 8:00pm = 20:00 12:01am = 00:01 To use COMMAND 45: 1. Ensure that the security system is disarmed. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The display should show SYSTEM COMMAND, press 4, 5. 3. Press and release the 4 key, then press and release the 5 key. The display should show SET TIME=(time disply). To set a new time display, simply enter the desired time with the number keys on the Alpha II keypad. (Remember, the clock is set in military time standards, also known as the 24-hour clock. Enter four digits for a complete time setting.) The new time scrolls into the display from right to left, replacing the old display. For example, to set a time of 1:15 a.m. you would enter the following: Press the 0 + 1 + 1 + 5 keys. The display shows SET TIME= 01:15. 4. When the display is correct, press the COMMAND bar to enter the time and exit from this mode. If the COMMAND bar is not pressed, the new time will not be entered and the Alpha II will revert back to the original time displayed. If no keys are pressed for 20 seconds, the Alpha II automatically exits from this mode. Part numbers D8112, D8112A, D8112E, D8112E1, D8112G, D8112G1, D8112G2, D1252, D1252A
