Skyroute Test Rates:  Sub-section [13]
• Option 1- Not used.
• Option 2- Daily Test: If this option is ON, the Skyroute will
self-generate a ‘Skyroute Test Transmission’ signal (TX-00
or E603-000) every day.
• Option 3- Weekly Test: If this option is ON, the Skyroute
will self-generate a ‘Skyroute Test Transmission’ signal
(TX-00 or E603-000) every week.
• Option 4 – Keybus Tests Enabled: If this option is ON, the
Skyroute will send a ‘Periodic Test Transmission’ signal
(RP-00 or E602-000) at the same time the main panel sends
its ‘Periodic Test Transmission’ via the land line.
Backup FTC Options: Sub-section [18]
All FTC or Trouble conditions must be restored for the Sky-
route to return to backup mode. All trouble conditions that
caused the Skyroute to switch to Temporary Full Reporting
Mode must be restored before it returns to Backup Mode.
Backup Mode Timer: Sub-section [19]
This option should correlate with the timing set in the panel.
Refer to Panel Programming documentation and 3.2.4.
Generic Signal Timer: Sub-section [21]
This is the timer used by Generic Reporting. See Section 3 for
more information.
Transmission Options: Sub-section [22]
This section will enable sections of reporting codes. (See table
for different service plans.)
Refer to Appendices Aand B to find out which reporting codes
are controlled by each transmission option.
6.2.2 Advanced Programming
Individual Event: Sub-sections [30] to [78]
These sections are used to determine if an event will be trans-
mitted by the Skyroute transceiver. If ’00’ is entered, that event
will not be transmitted. If ‘FF’ is programmed, the event will
be transmitted. ‘FF’ is the default value.
The Skyroute module will send these events when they occur
in the system unless they are programmed as ‘00’. Refer to
Appendices A and B for more information.
6.3
Activating a Skyroute Transceiver
Before activating the Skyroute transceiver, ensure that the con-
trol panel is wired, programmed and operating properly. Make
sure that the Skyroute transmitter is properly connected to the
Keybus and to the bell (+ positive) circuit. When power is
applied to the system, the Skyroute transceiver will perform
self-diagnostics for a few seconds, before giving visual feed-
back by indicating signal strength on LED1, LED2 or LED3.
6.3.1 Calling Connect 24
Once the Skyroute transceiver is indicating the signal strength
of the network, and the status indicator (LED5) is blinking 6
times (not connected to the clearing house), you are ready to
call Connect 24’s Voice Response Unit. Follow the voice
prompt and when asked to perform a test, press SW1 on the
Skyroute transceiver to transmit a test signal. When transmit-
ting, LED4 blinks once. If the test is successful, the VRU will
give you a confirmation and LED5 will then blink steady every
second. Refer to the Connect 24 information package for more
information on the activation process. 
NOTE: The confirmation of a successful test from Con-
nect 24 does not guarantee proper transmission of
the event to your central station. You must perform
normal tests with your central station after activation
with Connect 24.
6.3.2 Transmitting and Receiving
LED4 on the Skyroute module will blink once (1) to indicate
the cellular tower has received  the signal. It will blink twice
(2) to indicate the alarm central station has received and
acknowledged the signal.
6.3.3 Skyroute Transceiver Trouble Supervision
The Skyroute transceiver automatically monitors its operation
and indicates trouble conditions by flashing LED5 on the cir-
cuit board. LED5 normally flashes once every 2 seconds when
the Skyroute transceiver is on standby (ready to transmit)
mode. Troubles are indicated when LED5 flashes more than
once every 2 seconds. See Section 5.1 ‘Location of the Sky-
route Unit’ for the number of flashes used to indicate each
trouble condition in order of importance.
