Verify points are programmed as 'onboard' points.  If programmed as an expanded device which is not added to the panel the point(s) will show as missing. In keypad programming, verify nibbles 0706, 0711, 0716, 0721, 0726, 0731, 0736, 0741 are programmed as 1. Other options would indicate either an expansion device or disabled. Using RPS, verify the device is set to On Board in Point Configuration.  Other settings would cause a point intended to be used on board to show missing. ... View more

The panel should be programmed to respond to a short for faulted RF points and an open for RF points with open Tamper switches. With the exception of the FA113, faulting any Inovonics wireless point will cause the D8125INV to send a short to the control, regardless of the normally open or normally closed configuration of the wireless point. For example, an FA210 using external contacts programmed as MODE 1, 2, 8 or 9 would fault when the external contacts were opened. Faulting the FA210 by opening the contacts would still cause the D8125INV to send a short to the control. Controlled Instant Points should be programmed with a response of 1 to generate an instant alarm on short and a trouble on open when disarmed. Delay points should use response 7 to generate an entry delay on short and trouble on open when disarmed. 24 hour points should use a response 1 to generate an alarm on short and trouble on open, unless it is deemed necessary to initiate an alarm should a tamper switch be opened in which case a response 0 should be used. The FA113 Universal Transmitter is programmed to point 74 or 194 for arming and disarming, and to point 75 or 195 for the panic feature. These points are not supervised and will allow the FA113 to leave the panel site and not cause supervision troubles. The D7212G is only capable of 40 points and therefore is not compatible for use with the FA113. For the arm/disarm function program point 74 or 194 with Point Type 4 and Point Response 2. When both alert buttons are pressed together the D8125INV sends a short to the control for point 95 or 195. Program the panel accordingly so that the Point Response provides the appropriate response. ... View more

 The DS7420i is compatible with the DS7400, DS7400X or DS7400Xi, however its telephone wiring connections to the DS7400 or DS7400X are different than to the DS7400Xi. When using the DS7420i with the DS7400 or DS7400X, wire terminals 21 through 24 as follows: Terminal 21 to Terminal 14 Control Panel Line Ring Terminal 22 to Terminal 13 Control Panel House Ring Terminal 23 to Terminal 16 Control Panel House Tip Terminal 24 to Terminal 15 Control Panel Line Tip  All other wiring connections shown in the DS7420i Installation Instructions are correct for all panels. ...

Select a Test Interval of 1, 7 or 28 days. Automatic Test Reports are initiated on 2000 Series control panels at the end of the combined 'Hours to Next' and 'Minutes to Next' settings in the Test Timer area of programming. The system will adds the entries in the Hours to Next and Minutes to Next parameters and waits that period before it sends the next test report to the receiver. From that report on, the system sends reports at the interval set by the Test Interval parameter. The time period count-down begins at the moment the panel is reset after sending the program changes.  The Test Interval parameter provides settings for: No Report: This selection disables the test report feature. 1 Day: This selection transmits test reports every 24 hours. 7 Days: This selection transmits reports every 7 days. 28 Days: This selection transmits reports every 28 days. ...

Version1 or 2 Panel types only allow Zone Test  to be used from a keypad assigned to the partition where the point is assigned.  When attempting to perform Zone Test on DS7400 version 1 or 2 panels by pressing Pin + #81 the keypads return the message 'Error Please Try again'. Attempting to perform Zone Test while in single partition mode results in the same error. DS7400 Version 3 and 4 panels do allow Zone Test to be used from a Master keypad provided Single Partition mode is selected. For further information of the DS7400 operation see the below documents. 22232G Reference guide for DS7400 ver1 panels pg.35 28995B Reference guide for DS7400 ver2 panels pg.35 ... View more
