Installation manual

Main Options

Areas

The Hills Reliance 128 can have up to a maximum of eight separate systems (areas) with distinct reporting codes,

user codes, and operating options for each system (see Features 16-21 and 37-58). The Hills Reliance 12 has up to

two areas, and the Hills Reliance 8 has one area.

Arm / Disarm Codes

The Hills Reliance 128 can have 99 four-digit codes or 66 six-digit codes to arm/disarm the control. All codes must

have the same number of digits. User codes are programmed and viewed from the code pad functions [*] 5 and [*] 6.

The factory default for user 1 is [1]-[2]-[3]-[4] when using a 4-digit code, or [1]-[2]-[3]-[4]-[5]-[6] for a 6-digit code.

This code can then be used to enter the new arm/disarm codes (see Feature 0). The Hills Reliance 12 can have up to

40 users, the Hills Reliance 8 up to 8 users.

Auto-Arm in Partial

The Hills Reliance can be armed automatically in the partial mode. This option can only be used for area one. If Auto-

Arm in Partial is enabled, area one cannot have full mode Auto-Arming selected. (See Feature 22)

Automatic Arming

If programmed, the Hills Reliance will Auto-Arm at a specified time. At this time, the code pad will beep for 50

seconds before the panel arms. The auto-arming process can be stopped by a valid code entry during Exit Time.

The Auto-Arming of an area can be programmed to be silent. If closing reports are sent, the user code will be 97.

(See Features 16, and 33-36)

Auxiliary Outputs

The Hills Reliance 128 has two (2) programmable relay outputs and two (2) programmable open collector outputs that

can be used to activate a strobe and two internal sirens. (See the terminal description Features 26-29). The Hills

Reliance 12 has 4 programmable open collector outputs, and the Hills Reliance 8 has two.

Auxiliary Power Over Current

The Hills Reliance will illuminate the ‘Service’ LED on the code pad whenever too much current is drawn from any

device powered by the system. This condition can be reported to the central station. (See Features 9 and 22)

Box Tamper

The Hills Reliance has an input for a normally closed tamper switch (see wiring diagrams on p7, p9, p11). The Box

Tamper can be programmed to report and/or sound the siren and/or the Code Pad. These terminals can be enabled

or disabled in programming. (See Features 22 and 23)

Code Pad Start Zone

The Hills Reliance LED Code Pads can be programmed with a starting zone from 1 to 64. The starting zone

programmed into the LED Code Pad via function [*][9][2] will tie the system zone to zone one (1) of the Code Pad.

I.e. If you wish to start displaying zone 25 as the zone one (1) on a LED Code Pad, program a 25 as the start zone

into the Code Pad that will function in this manner. When system zone 25 is faulted, zone LED one (1) will illuminate

on the programmed Code Pads. Zone bypasses will be tied to the Code Pad LED number; however reporting will

follow the system zone number.

Configuration Group

The Hills Reliance has 20 programmable and 10 fixed zone configuration groups (i.e. zone types) that determine how

each zone will function and report. The first 20 groups can be reprogrammed.

Dual End of Line

All Hills Reliance zones can be enabled for tamper monitoring if the Dual End of Line option is enabled. Zone

Doubling cannot be used if the option is enabled. (See Feature 22)

Dynamic Battery Test

The Hills Reliance can be programmed to perform a dynamic battery test to verify the condition of the battery for a

selected duration the first time the panel is armed or disarmed every day. The Hills Reliance can also be programmed

to perform a missing battery test every 12 seconds. (See Features 22 and 25)
