The D6112 utilizes an intuitive menu display system for easy programming. Press [Enter] to execute any command and [Backspace] to erase errors or move back one character.
Programming Option [12] to “01” allows the ‘ACK’ button to manually acknowledge each alarm and silence its internal buzzer, and also sets up COM1 Diagnostics so the screen displays data coming through COM1.
Basics
The D6112 alarm panel, like other Radionics models, uses a standard set of commands for arming and disarming, programming functions, and alarm functions. Customers (and installers) learned these once across all models – making the learning process simpler than ever! Unfortunately, some older panels may require special programming software in order to change or add features.
Prior to undertaking any programming tasks, referring to Appendix F’s “DRL2A Programming Commands” and “DRL2A Reference Sheets” will help ensure you have access to the appropriate options and programming settings. When entering commands always ensure that you use the correct hex code; depending on their programming status the DRL2A displays options either as hex codes or decimal numbers – simply choose which option from its keypad menu or press HEX/DEC button as needed to switch.
When the “ACK” light illuminates, the system acknowledges a message received from COM1. In order to facilitate audio communication, option [49]AUDIO MIN. must be set and DRL2A equipped with account range and zone codes activated for 2-Way Audio feature. Once this occurs, event codes can initiate audio playback via event code trigger. To program specific event codes as initiators of audio, program them as ASCII codes 0-9 instead.
The DRL2A can be programmed to send line fault reports directly to both computers and printers, providing valuable monitoring capabilities against issues like power outages, paper jams and communication failure. Furthermore, its RS232 port can also be monitored for communication troubles; simply switch on/off [39] LINE FAULT REPORT in its configuration options either as 01 for enable or as 00 for disable mode to take full advantage of this monitoring ability.
The DRL2A can be set for 24-hour fire panic alarm monitoring. This feature will activate sirens and keypads while sending reports directly to a central station if subscribed to home alarm monitoring service.
System Setup
Radionics (now Bosch) panels may be durable, but they’re not easily customizable by DIY enthusiasts. You’ll require both a programmer and dealer code to gain entry, and even then it may not allow you to delete zones; all depending on how your system is wired. Switching out for a 20P won’t be simple either – either physically replacing it or fixing its zone loop would likely be required for success.
Keypad Setup
The keypad provides an accurate representation of the current status of your system and controlled points through lights numbered 1-8. Additionally, tones and flashing lights provide alerts regarding various system events; depending on its nature, alarm or trouble conditions may be displayed depending on their severity.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) displays are backlit for easier viewing and provide keypad users with information regarding incoming data, programming information and status. Keypad buttons located within Line Card 1 use half of an LCD while pressing and holding one registers as one keystroke; repeatedly depressing one will register as multiple input or keystrokes.
A 4-digit Password is used to secure the keypad. The default password is “CAFE.” Once entered, entering this Password will activate a display which reads: “Ready”, before showing next Configuration Option.
Opening any designated entry door prevents an instant alarm condition and begins exit delay timer; exiting before this period expires triggers alarm conditions.
This option displays the number (in hexadecimal format) of printer messages in the Line Card buffer. To toggle this function back to Stand-By Mode and exit this function altogether, press [Escape].
Programming
Programming procedures vary depending on which options are selected during programming. Please refer to the DRL2A Reference Sheets at the back of this manual for a listing and description of these options as well as programming techniques used to set them up for use. Once all options have been programmed and reset back to default configuration, verify all calls and alarms are coming through successfully before checking cable connections and whether your panel has an active analog line if alarms do not.
Once the incoming call information has been verified, programming should begin. Changing programming via keypad can be completed quickly; therefore it’s recommended that all changes be entered through it if possible. After you finish programming your system with real calls to ensure all features work as intended.
Here are the main programming procedures for the D6112:
1. Audio Minimiser The D6112 can be configured to initiate audio via its account range or event code options [4A/4B/4C], providing two-way communications during an alarm situation with central station operators. This feature ensures up-to-two way communications during burglary alarm events.
2. COM1 Diagnostics
With Option [16] enabled, the screen will display data being communicated through COM1. This feature can help with troubleshooting communication issues between CPM2 and line cards.
3. Acknowlencing Alarm Signals
Pressing the “ACK” button on a CPM2 will display an incoming ACK signal from a line card and activate an internal buzzer, then manually acknowledge this incoming signal by pressing it again; once acknowledged, CPM2 will return to stand-by mode and resume operations as usual.
4. AUX EVENT CODE
An auxiliary event code alerts the central station that requires immediate action by the SYSCO operator, such as sending out an alarm event code in either SIA format or as ASCII characters when used with radionics gx systems.
