For Command Points: This selection does 
not apply to command points (do not select 
'Pre-Alarm Warning' for command points). 
Transmit 
- Off / Stay / On: The (applicable 
area’s) arming levels for which an 
alarm message will be transmitted to 
the monitoring station whenever the 
point is triggered; 
For Command Points: Other than issuing 
the specific action, command-points are 
monitored only for 'Tamper' conditions. 
Sonalert 
- Off / Stay / On: The (applicable 
area’s) arming levels for which keypad 
sonalerts will be sounded for 1 second 
when the point is triggered; 
Siren 
- Off / Stay / On: The (applicable area’s) arming 
levels for which siren outputs will be sounded 
when the point is triggered. (The “Siren Time” is 
set through the System screen.) 
For Command Points: Other than issuing the specific 
action, command-points are monitored only for 
'Tamper' conditions. So, the Transmit, Sonalert, and 
Siren selections will take effect only for tamper 
conditions. 
Custom Circuit-Types for 
Input Points
 (V4.4) 
Custom Circuit-Types 
Newer styles of modules support custom 
circuits for input points, while any older-style 
modules will continue to support the standard 
circuit-types. 
Tip: Suitable default values are provided here for north 
America, Europe, and UK-ACPO (per panel mode). 
The defaults typically need to be changed here only for 
sites that require custom/different values. 
Note
: The specific circuit-type for each input point is 
selected when setting up an input point (or suite-
security keypad).
