Zone Mode

• When the GSM is programmed for zone mode, there
  are six input zones available.
• The first zone input (TB1, pin 5) can detect a
  pulsed signal (reported as zone 1) or a steady
  signal (reported as zone 2).
• When using zone trigger mode, messages are sent
  in ADEMCO high-speed format.

30
Zone Mode Programming Options

• Trip Inputs 1or2 w/Bell out (N)

• Enable this option when wiring zone 1/2 input
  (terminal 5) to control panel positive bell
  output.
• This will help prevent false alarms caused by
  supervision voltage on the bell circuit.
• This will also prevent the radio from causing
  bell circuit faults on the control panel.
• Note Enabling this feature will raise the trip
  voltage on zones 1, 2, and 3 from 2VDC to
  5VDC.

This option should not be enabled with negative
trigger inputs on zones 1, 2, or 3.
31
Zone Mode Programming Options

• Zn1 Trigger Type
• (V)

This selects the triggering method for this zone
input. Options are (V), (V-), or (EOLR)
If zone is set for (V), the zone will report an
alarm when voltage input is 2VDC-14VDC. Trigger
levels above 14VDC may damage the unit and
trigger levels below 2VDC may not trigger the
zone. Remember Enabling Trip Inputs w/Bell
out increases minimum trigger requirement for
zones 1, 2, and 3 to 5VDC.
32
Zone Mode Programming Options

• Zn1 Trigger Type
• (V)

This selects the triggering method for this zone
input. Options are (V), (V-), or (EOLR)

• If the zone is set to (V-), the negative
  triggering voltage must be less than 1.0VDC.
• If the zone is set to (EOLR), the zone will
  report an alarm when the EOLR is removed from the
  zone.
• Recommended EOLR is 2K ohms.

33
Zone Mode Programming Options
Restore Zn1 Y/N (Y)
This enables the zone to report when it is
restored.
Delay Zn1 (secs) (00)
This option defines any delay in reporting for
this zone input (from 0 to 15 seconds).
This option will disable this zone from reporting
unless the conditional zone is triggered. (The
conditional zone is zone 7 when radio is in zone
mode.)
Rpt Zn1 ONLY if Armed (N)
34
Zone Mode Programming Options
This option inverts the alarm and normal states
of the zone trigger.
Invert Zn2 Y/N (N)
This option is enabled only when radio is
connected to a Lynx, LynxR, or LynxR-EN. This
enables a silent panic alarm to be sent when a
single pulse is detected on zone 1.
Lynx Panic Y/N (N)
35
7845I-GSM Programming Options

• Basically the same as the previously discussed
  GSM flt time. In the event there is loss of
  contact with the network over the Ethernet
  connection, enter the time delay before the
  7845i-GSM notifies the Central Station of the
  problem.
• IP failure will always be reported as Primary
  Communication Path Failure

IP Flt Time (60 mins)

• Programming options are Neither Fault or
  Both IP and GSM Faults.
• If Both IP and GSM Faults is selected, the
  device will notify the control panel (via ECP bus
  or GSM fault relay) if both communication paths
  fail.

Notify Panel Of (Neither Fault)_
36
7845I-GSM Programming Options

• If enabled, all messages (including AlarmNet
  network supervisory messages) are sent over GSM
  network in the event of an internet failure.
• If disabled, all messages (except AlarmNet
  network supervisory messages) are sent over GSM
  network in the event of an internet failure.

GSM Rollover Y/N (Y)_

• If enabled, the 7845i-GSM sends a supervision
  ping over the GSM network once a day to verify
  backup communication path.
• A secondary communication path loss message is
  generated if the message is not successfully
  delivered.

GSM 24Hr Tst Y/N (N)_
37
7845I-GSM Programming Options
Use DHCP Y/N (Y)_
DHCP dynamically allocates the IP addresses
(recommended). If you select No, then you must
program the following fixed (static) IP addresses
NIC IP Address 255.255.255.255_
Gateway IP Addr 255.255.255.255_
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.255_
DNS Server IP Addr 255.255.255.255_
38
7845I-GSM Programming Options
Enable Pwr Save (Y)_
For 24 UL battery backup requirement, this
feature must be enabled, or the unit must be
powered by an appropriate UL listed UPS.
What does it do?
If the feature is enabled, the communicators NIC
card will power down and will power up every 20
seconds to send a test ping (to test internet
path) then power down again. The NIC will also
power up anytime the unit needs to transmit
information over the internet. If connectivity
problems occur with certain routers or switches,
disable this option.
