Digital Monitoring Products Inc PC0181 User Manual

The 

Communication section allows you to configure the communication settings 

for the XTLplus panel. After choosing the Communication Type, continue through 

the list of options.

Enter the account num ber sent to the receiver.

The range of account numbers are 1 to 65535. For account numbers of four digits 

or less, you do not have to enter leading zeros. The panel automatically right 

justifies the account number.

Enter the number of seconds (15 to 45 seconds) the panel waits before sending 

burglary alarm reports to the receiver. The wireless siren and relay outputs are not 

delayed during this period. Enter 0 (zero) to disable this function. The default is 30.

This specifies the communication method the panel uses to contact the receiver. 

Press any select key to display the following communication options:

WIFI - Network communication to DMP Model SCS-1R or SCS-VR Receivers.

CEL - This option allows communication over the cellular network using the 265C 

Cellular Communicator to DMP Model SCS-1R or SCS-VR Receivers.

NONE

 - For local systems. Selecting this ends communication programming.

Note: If automatic cellular activation is unsuccessful, cellular communication 

must be activated using the Activate Cell option provided in Diagnostics Function 

located in the Appendix.

 

Backup Cellular option is available if COMM TYPE is set for WIFI. The Backup 

Cellular tries to send the message after the main communication fails for 60 

seconds on WIFI. If the backup dialer fails then the message is discarded.

Press COMMAND to enter the Test Time. Enter the time of day the panel sends the 

test report to the SCS-1R Receiver. Use entries between 12:00 to 11:59 and then 

choose AM or PM.

 

Enter how often the panel test report is sent to the receiver. Enter from 1 to 60 

days. Enter zero to disable the test report. Default is 1 (one) day. This option only 

displays if a test time is entered.

Check-in reports are a method of supervising the panel for communication with the 

receiver. Enter the number of minutes between check-in reports. Select from 0 or 

3-240 minutes. Enter 0 (zero) to disable the check-in option. Default is 200.

Note: If Cell Check-in option is used, additional cell charges may apply.

Fail Time allows the SCS-1R or SCS-VR receiver to miss a defined number of  

check-ins before logging that the panel is missing. For example, if CHECKIN is 20 

and FAIL TIME is 30, the SCS-1R receiver only indicates a Panel Not Responding 

after 30 minutes. The FAIL TIME must be equal to or greater than the CHECKIN 

minutes: If the CHECKIN is 20 minutes, the FAIL TIME must be 20 or more. The 

maximum FAIL TIME is 240 minutes. Select from 0 or 3-240 minutes. The default 

FAIL TIME is 240 minutes.

Closing Wait operation: Closing Wait operation is activated if Fail Time is set 

to 3 minutes and O/C Reports in System Reports is YES and O/C User reports in 

Communication Programming is set to YES.

Closing Wait provides a delay time before a monitored system arms until the 

panel receives an acknowledgment of the closing report from the central station 

receiver. During the delay, the keypad displays ONE MOMENT .  .  .

Once the closing is acknowledged from the SCS-1R receiver, the keypad buzzes 

for one second and then displays an armed status message. If the primary 

communication fails, the message LOCAL ALARM ONLY appears.
