Use the Auto Door option to unlock an access door automatically upon disarming the assigned area. The door automatically re-locks upon arming the area (All-On or Part-On). A programmed "Lock Door" schedule does not override the Auto Door function.  When Auto Door is set to Yes and the area is disarmed: If a "Lock Door" sked executes, the unlocked state of the door does not change.  The panel logs the sked as executed but the unlocked state of the door does not change. Note:  The panel will not allow a door to become unlocked at any time when the assigned area is armed.  If an "Unlock Door" sked executes when the assigned area is armed, the locked state of the door does not change.  The panel logs the sked as executed but the door remains locked, regardless of the Auto Door setting. ...

The DX2010 has the capacity to provide 12 VDC at up to 100 mA from the Auxiliary Output (+) OUT (-) terminals to power external devices such as motion detectors (see Figure 6). If a trouble condition occurs on the DX2010 (such as an overcurrent condition), it sends a data bus trouble message to the panel. When using the auxiliary output on the DX2010, the maximum distance between the control/communicator and the module must be limited to 250 ft. (76 m) using #18 AWG (1.2 mm) wire or 100 ft. (30 m) using #22 AWG (0.8 mm) wire. The maximum distance from the DX2010 output terminals and the external devices (PIRs, smoke detectors, etc.) must be limited to 50 ft. (15 m) for #22 AWG (0.8 mm) or 100 ft. (30 m) for #18 AWG (1.2 mm) wire. ... View more

There are 2 tests performed on the FA206i, Walk Test and Transmission Test. Walk Test: With cover in place, quickly (less than 1/2 second) pass a magnet near the Test Mode reed switch. This will activate a 1 minute walk test mode where the LED will light with each trip but no alarm signals will be transmitted. Transmission Test: With cover in place, hold a magnet near the Test Mode reed switch for at least one second. This will activate a one minute transmission test mode where the device will transmit alarm and restoral cycles at regular intervals for 1 minute. Note:  The FA206i LED only lights when in test mode. ... View more

The CHECK DIAL TONE trouble message is generated  by 2000 series panels which are failing to communicate.  The trouble may be generated by panels intended to communicate or even when the panel was intended to be local. See below for details. For panels displaying CHECK DIAL TONE which are intended to communicate. Verify proper phone voltage on the phone line. Correct phone issues when required. Note that digital compression (commonly used in modern phone systems) adversly affects alarm panel phone communications. In these cases a network communicator such as the B465 will be required to convert phone communications to network. Send a successful report to the monitoring company to clear the trouble. For panels displaying CHECK DIAL TONE which are not intended to communicate. The panel has a number programmed into the Phone 1 or Phone 2 parameter. The panel will supervise the phone line regardless of Route Groups programmed as Local. Remove all phone numbers from programming when the panel is intended to be Local Only. 2000 Series panel types: D2212B D2212BE D2412U D2412UE D2812 ... View more

Unable to arm the system, and the user code is valid. Determine if any points in the system are faulted, correct as required. If an AC failure exists, you must force arm the system. Enter the arming sequence, then press the bypass key during the 5 second beep. ... View more
