The D4412 and D6412 can use point expansion using: On-Board Doubling DX2010 8 point wired expander DX2010 8 point wired expander using point doubling Important Notes: Never use Normally Open wiring for doubled points. Faulting either point will generate a short on both doubled points. Point 1 is a powered point for 2-wire smoke detectors and cannot be doubled with point 9. Only points 2 thru 8 can be doubled with points 10 thru 16. Access programming with Keypad: Ensure no areas are armed and close the installer switch. Enter the installer code (default=6543) into a command center. Press Command+4+1. Select 8 from the menu list. Enter the ‘Nibble’ as described and press CMD. The Nibble appears. Enter the data-digit and press the star key ( * ) to save the data entry. Return to step ‘e’ to continue with the next data entry. When programming is complete press and hold the Cmd button to exit programming and open the reset pin to return to normal operation. Example: Go to Nibble 1026 and enter 4 for Point Doubled, 2.2k & 3.65k EOL. Press 1026 and Command, the keypad displays:  Nib:1026 D=x  (where X= the current data value; default =2). Press 4 and [ * ]  (star key) to save the data entry. Access programming with Keypad: Ensure no areas are armed and close the installer switch on the panel board. Enter the installer code (default=6543) into a command center. Press Command+4+1. Select 8 from the displayed menu list. Enter the ‘Nibble’ as described and press CMD. The Nibble appears. Enter the data-digit and press the star key ( * ) to save the data entry. Return to step ‘5’ to continue with the next data entry. On-Board Point Doubling: Go to Nibble 1026 and enter 4 for Point Doubled, 2.2k & 3.65k EOL. Program the points to be doubled as On-Board. Select the correct Nibble from Figure 1 for the location to program and enter 1 for On-Board. Program and address for the Wired Point Expander (not using point doubling): Select Device. Select the correct Nibble from Figure 3 for the point location and enter 2 for Wired Point Expander. Address the DX2010 for the correct group of points. Program and address for the Wired Point Expander using point doubling: Select the correct Nibble for the point location to be programmed from Figure 3 and enter 3 for Doubled Wired Point Expander.  Also use the EOL shown in figure 3 when doubling points. Set the DX2010 dipswitches for address 106 or 107: Note: Never use Normally Open wiring for doubled points.  Faulting either point will generate a short on both doubled points ... View more

 Question Can the D9210C be used on a panel that has a D9210B on it? Answer  Yes, it is ok to use both the D9210B and the D9210C on all panels except for the GV4.   GV4 control panels can only use the D9210C. ... View more

Enter a valid passcode and [#89] to view the log in the DS7400 series control panels. Pressing # will cycle through the previous events in the panel. If there are multiple areas in the panel this entry will return an error and single partition mode needs to be used.  Enter a valid passcode and [# #] to enter single partition mode, then press [#89] to view the panel log.  DS7400Xi, DS7400X, DS7400, Detection Systems, DS. ...

Program network communications in legacy 9000, G and GV2 series control panels using parameters in four areas;      1.  Panel Wide Parameters > Routing      2.  Panel Wide Parameters > Enhanced Routing      3.  RADXAUX1 > Enhanced Communications      4.  RADXAUX1 > Miscellaneous > Enable Anti-replay Set the supervision time according to your local requirements:      200 Seconds: UL 1610      300 Seconds: NFPA 72 2010      90 Seconds:  UL 2050 Supervision time is calculated as follows:      Poll Rate + Ack Wait + (Ack Wait x Retry Count) = Supervision Time      For example, to set a 300 second supervision time:                Poll=240                Ack Wait=10                Retry Count=5           240 + 10 + (10 x 5) = 300 seconds or           250 + 50 = 300 seconds 1. Panel Wide Parameters > Routing: Enter a number (1-4) to indicate which path the panel will use for network communications, or which phone number to dial if using the dialer.  The settings in the selected path will contain the receiver IP address, and supervision settings (Poll Rate, Ack Wait time & Retry Count, see step 3).  The Phone number is programmed in Panel Wide Parameters > Phone and Phone Parameters. 2. Panel Wide Parameters > Enhanced Routing: - Select YES to communicate using a network device addressed SDI 88.  The Path selected in step 1 (routing) contains the Receiver IP address, and supervision settings (see step 3). - Select NO to communicate over phone.  The Phone number selected in step 1 determines which phone number to dial. (Panel Wide Parameters > Phone Parameters)        Yes= Communicate by Network        No= Communicate by Phone  3. Enhanced Communications: Figure 3 below shows the settings in Path 1.  1) Enable Enhanced Communications: Set to Yes to enable enhanced communications over the SDI bus.  (default= No) 2) Enter the receiver IP address. 3) Enter the Poll Rate, Ack Wait Time and Retry Count as required.  See supervision settings in the Overview section. 4. RADXAUX1 > Miscellaneous > Enable Anti-replay Set Enable Replay to YES.  (Default setting = No) Below is an example of Network Communications in a G series control panel. 1. Item 1:  RG1 Primary = 1, RG1 Backup = 2.  Settings in Enhanced Routing determine if these numbers indicate Path or Phone numbers. 2. Item 2:  RG1 Pri SDI=YES: entry in Routing>RG1 Primary directs to which Path to use.  RG1 BU SDI=NO: entry in Routing>RG1 Backup directs to which Phone number to dial. 3. Item 3:  Setting of YES enables Enhanced Communications.  Set the network receiver IP address here. 4. Item 4:  Example for 300 second Supervision.  (Poll=240, Ack=10 and Retry=5).  See the overview section for programming supervision. 5. Items 5:  Anti-Replay setting set to Yes   B420, B426 ...
