Radionics D8112 Manual gives an introduction to its basics and security options such as setting up custom displays, viewing faulted points, silencing fire alarms, etc. Additionally, this document includes operating instructions for Alpha Command Center Keypad; time tested lithium battery is included along with 90 day warranty support.
Function Keys
Radionics security systems traditionally employed a set of “Commands” for arming and disarming functions, programming functions and other system operations. This format was consistent across older panels such as the 6112, D8112 and D4112. Newer models use different numbers as commands which may cause confusion for customers and installers; this page can provide assistance in understanding newer Radionics panels and keypads’ command sequences.
COMMAND 4 – Smoke Detector Reset
This feature resets the 2-wire smoke detector loop, restoring any tripped detectors back into normal operation while your system is armed. For specific instructions on resetting smoke detectors and trouble events related to Radionics systems, refer to their specific manuals for guidance.
Command 5 – Partially Enable Perimeter Lights
Master Arm
When entering a command with the master keypad, the panel can display a MASTER ARM message with a time delay indicating how long the system will remain armed after you exited its protected area. You can disable this feature by entering COMMAND 1.
The MASTER ARM display indicates whether or not your system is monitored for power outages, battery problems and communication failures. It will also display whether or not its battery connection has been incorrect or has not been replaced in time – you can even switch this display off by pressing CMD 4. You can temporarily turn this off by pressing CMD 4.
If the panel detects communications failure, it will send out a PARAM FAIL report to its receiver. When you reload new copies of programs onto it, this display clears.
At an alarm event, the panel displays current alarm and zone status on its display screen. When pressing buttons or using the master keypad to initiate alarms, pressing an alarm button activates an alarm which then starts being recorded into its history log.
The D7212 can accommodate two SDI devices simultaneously; each device must be connected to its own separate auxiliary input and be assigned a unique point number.
An unpowered auxiliary input may be connected to either of the AUX terminals 3 and 9 or POPIT module (D8125).
Referring to the tables within this manual for point assignments is highly recommended. An auxiliary input may be used for keyswitching or providing open loop signal to remote monitoring stations; an auxiliary output may then be programmed to report on open or shorted loops.
Bypass
The bypass function keys enable you to temporarily bypass a specific point on the system for short periods, often temporarily disarming faulted points until service can be arranged. They work on Radionics fire alarm panels and combination burglary/fire systems but for more comprehensive details it is recommended you refer to their respective manuals.
The Annunciator Reset button clears your panel’s memory of all recent alarms on a 4-button keypad or annunciator, and must only be done while powered up. Simply press [esc] and the next button (on numeric keypads) until “ANNUNCIATOR RESET” appears on screen, then press [enter].
The Option Menu allows you to configure various aspects of the control panel. Each option is programmed using two hexadecimal or decimal digits and displayed on the keypad display with “01” through “FF”.
Disarm
In the event of a robbery or other emergency, your Duress passcode can help arm the system quickly and efficiently. It consists of your personal passcode with one or two digits added at the end; enter it when your system is disarmed/off. After entering, it will display any points which caused an alarm before clearing its memory by tuning itself back on automatically. To reenter your code later on, first reset it by pressing and holding down on key 6.
Manually Stopping Data Reception
The [C] button sends a kissoff signal to the calling control panel, enabling an operator to manually discontinue communication between their SG-SLR and said control panel (or computer over COM1) and stop any ongoing data reception from it. This function can come in handy in cases of lost connection or when troubleshooting alarms that do not clear automatically from software.
Your SG-SLR also allows you to periodically send two-digit messages to your cell service provider to ensure a good signal, making this device especially helpful if you live in an area with poor reception or during a power outage at your home.
Programming the SG-SLR to automatically display time and date on its screen can be programmed, while setting Commanands 7 and 9 to respond to certain situations by calling your security company without sounding an alarm at your premises. They can be programmed to notify them that certain events have taken place such as doors being open or low batteries condition requiring attention.
