Point Types
Custom Input Point Types
In addition to the extensive list of pre-
defined point types, custom input
point types can be set up to tailor
input-point characteristics to meet
your specific needs. Once defined,
these are referred to as Point Types
80-99.
Custom point types allow setting up:
 Garage/extended-delay sensors;  Vault/safe inputs;
 Command Points;  Activity-monitoring inputs; -- plus
special functions including:  Guard tour" checkpoints
(stations);  WorkLate" buttons;  Area arm/disarm
keyswitch.
As with doors, points, etc., custom point-types pertain to
an individual panel, and must be set up for each panel
requiring the selected input-monitoring characteristics.
