Menu tree showing 81 ARMING OPTIONS with sub-items: 811 Final Door, 812 Exit Flt Bell, 813 Line Flt Bell, 814 Inhib Tamper, 815 Forced Arm, 816 Dpy Armed, 817 Ext. Blk Exit, 818 Rearm Always, 819 Rearm Count, 81 10 Arm Squawk, 81 11 Infinite Exit.
Used to select options for arming the panel.
| # | Option | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 811 | Final Door | When selected will terminate the exit buzzer 6 seconds after all exit routes and access routes have closed. |
| 812 | Exit Flt Bell | When enabled will trip the internal bell output in the event of an exit fault e.g. if an E/E zone is still open at the end of exit time. |
| 813 | Line Flt Bell | When enabled will trip the strobe, internal & external bell outputs in the event of a line fault (when the system is Armed). |
| 814 | Inhib Tamper | When enabled allows the user to inhibit tampers. |
| 815 | Forced Arm | When enabled, allows the user to inhibit all open inputs using ** and all open tampers (if Inhib Tamper is enabled) using ##. |
| 816 | Dpy Armed | When enabled will display "System Armed" when the panel is armed otherwise only date and time will be displayed. |
| 817 | Ext. Blk Exit | Normally the Common Area (i.e. Block 0) immediately arms when all the other blocks are armed i.e. arms simultaneously with the last block. With Ext. Blk Exit set to YES the system exit time is added to the final block's exit time giving the user more time to vacate. |
| 818 | Rearm Always | When enabled the panel will always rearm after an alarm activation when the panel is armed i.e. the sounders will re-trigger each time a new activation occurs. |
| 819 | Rearm Count | The number of times the panel will rearm if Rearm Always is not enabled. The sounders will re-trigger as many times as the rearm count is set for. |
| 81 10 | Arm Squawk | When enabled, briefly makes the internal bell squawk and flashes the strobe when the system is fully armed or set. |
| 81 11 | Infinite Exit | When enabled, overrides the Full Set Exit Time - it becomes infinite. The Exit Time only stops when an Exit Terminator zone closes. This would typically be something like a roller shutter or external push button. Arming can also be terminated with the "Final Door" option and the shunt lock zone closing. |
The Arm Squawk feature overrides the RF-Keyfob Arm Squawk setting.

89 Garda Policy / BS8243 Options
The menu structure for section 89 differs between Ireland and the UK.
Ireland: 89 Garda Policy Options
Menu tree showing 89 GARDA POLICY OPTIONS with sub-items: 891 Pre-Alarm, 892 BellTam Ver.AL, 893 Al Abort Time, 894 Restrict Ind.
| # | Option | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 891 | Pre-Alarm | Any subsequent alarm activation, after a pre-alarm, generates a full alarm condition. In other words, the initial alarm is "verified" by the secondary alarm. Selecting Pre-Alarm enables this feature. In the SIA protocol the initial alarm is reported as a BA (Burglary Alarm) and the verified alarm as a BV (Burglary Verified). |
| 892 | BellTam Ver.AL | If Bell Tamper -> Verified Alarm is enabled then a bell tamper generates a full, verified alarm when the system is armed. |
| 893 | Al Abort Time | In minutes, is the time allowed for a subsequent alarm event to be flagged as a confirmed alarm. For instance, if a second alarm event falls within the time it is a "confirmed" alarm. If it falls outside the time it will be treated as a new pre-alarm event. |
| 894 | Restrict Ind | If Restricted Indication is set to YES, system faults (e.g. panel battery fault, fuse fault etc.), are latched. Faults are only displayed on the keypad when a User Code is keyed-in; so mainly during the setting/unsetting sequence. Also, system faults will have no audible warning. |
In Contact ID, BA = 130 and BV = 139.
Note 1: Section 8.5.2 of EN 50131-1 was amended so that the fault & alarm indications (including Mains faults) are restricted to people who key-in their User Code. Casual observers may only be permitted to see a non-specific "Alert" indication. Setting Restricted Indication to NO allows the fault & alarm indications to be seen by everyone whether a User Code is keyed-in or not.
Note 2: The Red & Yellow LEDs flash simultaneously as an Alert Indication.
UK: 89 BS8243 Options
Menu tree showing 89 BS8243 OPTIONS with sub-items: 891 Police Options, 892 Technistore Options.
There is a different menu structure in the UK. The BS8243 Options menu has two sub-menus: Police Options and Technistore Options.
891 Police Options
There are 9 sections in the Police Options menu.
| # | Option | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alarm Conf | Shorthand for confirmed alarm. When set to YES means that the system needs to send two or more alarm activations in order to get a police response i.e. a pre-alarm and a confirmed alarm. |
| 2 | AL Conf Time | Shorthand for alarm confirm time. Used as a window to handle pre-alarms and confirmed alarms. Set to 30 minutes by default. |
| 3 | Auto Inhibit | When set to YES, the system will automatically inhibit the pre-alarm or pre-panic alarm zone should it still activate at the end of its confirm time. It will be reinstated the next time the system is armed. |
| 4 | Panic Conf | Shorthand for confirmed panic alarm. When set to YES means that the system needs to send two or more panic alarm activations in order to get a police response i.e. a pre-panic alarm and a confirmed panic alarm. |
| 5 | PA Conf Time | Used as a window to handle pre-panic alarms and confirmed panic alarms. Set to 8 hours by default. |
| 6 | Prox Entry | When set to YES, the system must be disarmed using a proximity tag. When set to NO, the user can use their user code instead. |
| 7 | Access / BV | By default set to NO. This means that zones assigned with the Access attribute will never flag a confirmed alarm (a BV in the SIA protocol) to the monitoring station when activated. |
| 8 | Engineer Reset | When set to YES means that an engineer must visit and key-in their code after a confirmed alarm or panic alarm activation otherwise the end user cannot arm their system. As an alternative to this method you can use the Technistore option. |
| 9 | Restrict Ind | If Restricted Indication is set to YES, system faults (e.g. panel battery fault, fuse fault etc.), are latched. Faults are only displayed on the keypad when a User Code is keyed-in; so mainly during the setting/unsetting sequence. Also, system faults will have no audible warning. |
AL Conf Time conditions:
- Two separate detectors activating within the confirmed alarm time window will generate a confirmed alarm.
- If the second detector activates after confirmation timer has expired, pre-alarm output re-triggers but no confirmed alarm is generated.
PA Conf Time conditions:
- Two separate panic activations activating within the PA Conf Time window will generate a confirmed panic alarm.
- If the second detector activates after confirmation timer has expired, pre-alarm output re-triggers but no confirmed alarm is generated.
Zones with Access / BV set to NO can still flag unconfirmed or pre-alarms to the monitoring station.
Note 1: Section 8.5.2 of EN 50131-1 was amended so that the fault & alarm indications (including Mains faults) are restricted to people who key-in their User Code. Casual observers may only be permitted to see a non-specific "Alert" indication. Setting Restricted Indication to NO allows the fault & alarm indications to be seen by everyone whether a User Code is keyed-in or not.
Note 2: The Red & Yellow LEDs flash simultaneously as an Alert Indication.
892 Technistore Options
There are 2 sections in the Technistore Options menu.
| # | Option | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Technistore | When Enabled (i.e. set to YES) the system generates a random "quote code" in the event of an engineer reset condition. The keypad displays "Call Alarm Centre" and indicates the quote code. The user then contacts the central station and tells them this code. In turn the central station gives the user a reset code which is then used to perform the engineer reset. By default this feature is not enabled. |
| 2 | Code Version | This needs to be setup during installation. Please contact your monitoring station for details. |
