VBUS Outputs and Parallel STU 
Outputs (xL Panels) 
xL panels support one 8-output STU 
(w/configurable base value), plus 
three 8-output VBUS boards (with 
contiguous output numbers starting at 
a single programmable base value).  
A total of four VBUS boards are 
supported if a parallel STU is not 
present. 
In addition to the settings pertaining to VBUS 
and parallel STU outputs, the "Panel onboard 
outputs" value must include the number of 
STU and VBUS outputs--plus the two on the 
panel itself for a grand total. 
This is selectable as multiples of 4 only (4, 8, 
12, etc), so select the next higher value if 
necessary. 
Attention: VBUS and STU outputs will NOT 
be recognized if the panel onboard outputs 
value does not account for all of these outputs 
as described here.

your preferred view-mode (forms view is recommended 
here). 
Things You Can Do

specific panel (see the selection-descriptions). 
Pick-List (bottom of the form) 
- Panel: If the tree is not set to show items on 
a panel-by-panel basis, you will be able to 
select a panel here (for systems that have 
more than one). 
A "Panel Group" reference may also be shown here, 
or
 you can set the 'tree' to list configuration topics 
separately for each panel. For more information, refer

 Standard  
- Input Point Fast Restore: Whether or not a 
point restoral (return to normal) is to be sent 
within 1 minute (versus only at siren time-out); 
- Maximum number of alarms per point: 
This allows limiting the number of consecutive 
alarms from an input point (sensor/zone) that 
the system will monitor.  For a selection of 1, 
2, or 3, any additional consecutive alarms will 
be ignored. 
Note: This typically pertains to UK/European 
installations. 
- Multi-tenant system (UK/ACPO): Future use. 
- Area group mode (V4.4): This determines 
whether or not arming and disarming of
