• For central station and police connected systems
the U.L. dialing option (including closing ring back
feature) must be turned ON – (refer to System
Simplified Configurations: “Audible Ringback” and
select Yes).
• Initiating circuits for residential Grade A burglary or
fire must be supervised with a standard end of line
2.2 KΩ resistor PN 705-4250. Furthermore, all fire
initiating circuits must be programmed for no delay
– (refer to Points Simplified Configurations: Fire -
immediate).
• For commercial installations, the control box
actuator must be programmed for full reporting
and siren activation; Equipment Simplified
Configurations: E01, all fields must be turned ON.
This will allow the control unit that contains the
DACT (Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter)
to be fully protected 24 hours a day.
• The control panel battery must be supervised for
failures. Activate the battery monitoring in
Equipment Simplified Configurations: E02 and
enable all fields for the keypad tone and

• Remote programming must be disabled. U.L. does
not list systems with active upload / download
capabilities. For listed installations in the
“Powering on the System for the First Time” –

instruct your customer to use the TEST feature.
For an LCD keypad enter a valid code, select the
TEST menu and then select the SYSTEM option.
Yearly testing of communication formats is required.
This is done by enabling the communications test a
minimum of one year or a shorter duration. Set the
“Comms Test Delay” in Simplified Configurations for
the desired time.
Partitioned Systems
For partitioned systems the protected area must be
under the responsibility of one ownership and
management. This may be a group of buildings
