or at least the trouble zone must be able to be put on a delay as the above text seems to mention. but not a 'trouble zone' for a power failure. This DSC when a Fire alarm or sump pump flood is detected should ring till someone puts in the access code yes. It does show a memory light that an incident occured. My own PARADOX home alarm will beep intermittently during a power failure, but when power is restored IT DOES reset itself so I dont have to run around putting in my password. seem to loose the paper I send to them every six months and then they start calling again.Īlso, I do not understand why this modern DSC panel would not reset itself once the trouble ( which is a power failure) has been put back to normal. I ask you because my monitoring station suggested that I reprogram the panel so that the trouble zone is on a 5 minute delay. This is a global feature - the transmission delay time will be the same on both partitions. If the panel is not disarmed in time the panel will communicate normally. If the panel is disarmed before the delay time expires the panel will not report the alarm to central station. If Transmission Delay is selected for a zone the panel will delay reporting the alarm for the number of seconds programmed for Transmission Delay Time. Thank you for your comments, however, could you explain the following text taken from the power 832 manual: How do I change that ?Īlso is it possible that for the line or circuit that sends a 'trouble' alarm to be delayed by ten minutes before calling the alarm company ? so if power comes back before that, no alarm is sent ? am fed up with 3 am calls.Am very new at this and still trying by the way to figure out if I can get software so I can change these features from my computer. So I asked them to ignore it till I got there later.I had to put in the four digit code to get it to reset and stop ringing. However, I noticed that when we completed a fire test and also when we lost power fin the building for a minute the fire panel reset properly all back to normal in both cases but.the DSC keypad did not and kept buzzing until the the four digit code was entered and recently the power failed in middle of night and I got a call from the alarm company saying we had a trouble. In either case the DSC is never actually 'armed', but all the contacts were programmed to trip though the system is not armed ie: sump pump, fire alarm or trouble will send a signal. My DSC 832 is used to call a monitoring station if our fire alarm goes off or we loose power.
