Feature Definitions
ALARM HISTORY
Five seconds after pressing the [0] key, the keypad will annunciate “Freeze Frame” alarm history. The zone LED’s will indicate which
zone(s) caused the last alarm, regardless of the number of times the Ranger 8600E has been armed or disarmed since that alarm. It
annunciates by blinking the zone LED(s) that caused the alarm, andlights steady those that were bypassed when that alarmoccurred.
The annunciation will continue for 5 seconds. Alarm History is erased when the Ranger 8600E is put into the program mode. A
burglary zone that has been bypassed due to “Swinger Shutdown” will alternate between continuous and blinking.
AUTOMATIC ARMING
The Ranger 8600E can be programmed to Automatically Arm at a predesignated time of day, if it has not already been armed. See
location 202, page 24.
AUTOMATIC BYPASS / INSTANT ARMING
When enabled, the control panel can automatically bypass interior follower zones if an exit is not detected during the delay time, and
delayed zones can be made instant. See location 131 on page 16 of this manual for the different combinations of this feature.
BUILT IN SIREN DRIVER
TheRanger 8600E has a built-in112dbsirendriver. When desired, this built-indrivercan be easily converted toa1amp voltageoutput
through programming. See location 132, page 16.
CHIME
If so programmed, this feature can be turned on and off by entering the first digit of the Master code. When the system is in the
disarmed state, the opening of selected zones will create a one-second tone through the keypad sounder. This lowest level of security
can be enabled by zone in locations 186-193:
Assigning Audible Characteristics For Zones
, page 23.
DUAL/SPLIT REPORTING
The Ranger 8600E can be programmed for dual and/or split reporting.
DYNAMIC BATTERY TEST
When enabled in location 203, the 8600E can be programmed to perform a dynamic battery test for a selected duration, at 6:00 AM.
ENTRY-GUARD
This unique low level arming mode hasbeen developed to reduce the most common sourceof false alarms. When armed in this mode,
theopening of any zones designatedas"EntryGuard zones" will initiate thekeypadsounder and start a delay(seelocations244-251&
255)beforecreating an alarm. This arming modewillencouragesystemowners to use their system more frequentlywhenthepremises
are occupied.
FIRE ALARM VERIFICATION
When enabled in location 143, the Ranger 8600E has the ability to verify a Fire alarm by requiring more than one trip on a smoke
detector before creating an alarm.
FORCE ARMING
When enabled in location 197, the Ranger 8600E can be armed with zones violated, lacking a green "Ready" light on the keypad.
Under this condition, all zones that are not secure at the end of the exit delay will become bypassed. All zones that become secured
before the end of the exit delay will become active in the system.
GROUP BYPASS
Zones can be programmed to bypass as a group when the [U] button is pressed during the exit delay. This feature is enabled in
Locations 244-251:
Assigning Special Characteristics For Zones
on page 26.
INTERNAL EVENT LOG
Up to 80 events can be stored in memory along with the date and time of the event. These events can later be viewed through
downloading.
KEYSWITCH ARMING
Keyswitcharming/disarming can be accomplished byusingtheremote arming input on thePCboard, and the auxiliary outputs. It is not
necessary to waste a hardwire zone to accommodate Keyswitch arming/disarming.
QUICK ARM FEATURE
The Ranger 8600E has a one button "Quick Arm" code, which can be used to arm the system by pressing one digit at the keypad. The
"Quick Arm" digit is programmed in location 139 on page 16.

SECONDARY EXIT DELAY
Used most often for garage doors, this zone type is a second entry/exit delay that has its own delay times, independent of thestandard
entry/exit delay zone.
TELEPHONE LINE MONITOR
The Ranger 8600E has a telephone line monitor that monitors the voltage and current of the telephone line for a detection of a faulted
phone line. See locations 194 & 195, page 23.
COMMENTS ABOUT THE 8600E
 The Fire, Panic, Burglary options for the auxiliary outputs can be programmed for momentary, or to follow the siren.
Programming a "2" in location 132 will activate the auxiliary outputs when these events occur. Programming a "0" in
location 132 will cause the Burglary and Panic outputs to activate when the yelping siren is on and the Fire auxiliary
output to activate when the steady siren is on.
 Location142has been enhancedto include abelltest at armingby programming a"2".For a belltest at exitdelay
expiration, program a "4". For a bell test at closing kissoff, program an "8".
 The 8600E allows downloading of custom information to 9050 LCD keypads.
 The 8600E has a "Fire Alarm Verification" feature which can be enabled by programming a "2" in location 143.
 TheAC powerlossdelayfeatureis nowprogrammable in2-minute incrementsfrom 0-14minutes. Itwill alsodelay
the same time when reporting an AC power restore.
 The 8600E has an 80 event log which stores all events and can be viewed through the download software.
 Keyswitch arming is allowed through the remote arming input on the PC board. Armed and Ready LED's can be
obtained through the auxiliary outputs.
 Instant zones are delayed during the exit delay time. This can be changed by programming a "2" in location 197
(see page 24, Location 197: Force Arming, NOTE).
 The entry delay pre-alarm will no longer override the pulsing keypad sounder, which notes a previous alarm.
 The PCB remote arming pins can be converted to a remote keypad panic zone (see page 17, Location 141).
 A Supervised 24-hour Silent zone has been added to the available zone types (see zone type chart, page 11).

HOW TO PROGRAM THE RANGER 8600E
The Ranger 8600E can be placed into the "Program" mode by either of the following methods.
 Enter the 4 digit "Go To Program" access code (locations 28-31). At initial power-up the code in these slots is
[9][7][1][3]. The Ranger 8600E must be disarmed to gain access to programming with this code.
 Plug the optional Caddx Model 8950 programmer into the 4-pin male outlet marked "Program" on the Ranger 8600E
P.C. Board. See figure 3 on page 8.
When the system keypad is utilized for programming (as described by method 1 above), the Ranger 8600E will be in the
"Program" mode, and the yellow LED's will display the data in location 000. The data is displayed using a Binary system.
With this system:
 The zone 1 LED equals "1" when illuminated.
 The zone 2 LED equals "2" when illuminated.
 The zone 3 LED equals "4" when illuminated.
 The zone 4 LED equals "8" when illuminated.
Examples:
1. If the data in location 000 is "9", the LED for zone 1 (=1) and zone 4 (=8) would be illuminated. By adding the two
values together, (1+8=9) you would determine that the data in location 000 is "9".
2. If the data in location 000 is "6", the LED for zone 2 (=2) and zone 3 (=4) would be added (2+4=6) indicating the
data in that location to be "6".
3. If no LED's are illuminated, the location contains a "0".
To advance from location 000 through 255, press the [#] key. To go to a specific location, enter the location number
followed by the [#] key. The yellow LED's will then display the data in that location. Data is changed by entering a number
from 0 to 15 followed by [U] (U= data enter). Review the examples in figure 2 on page 8.
Whenusing theoptionalCaddxModel8950 Programmer,the programmingkeystrokes willbe thesameas withthe system
keypad.The Caddx 8950,however, has theability todisplaythe locationnumber and thedata onthenumeric display.See
figure 3 on page 8.
IMPORTANT FUNCTION CODES
[9]-[1]-[0]-[#] Wheninthe Program Mode, thisfunction code can beused to write originalfactorydefault codes into
the 8600E.
[9]-[3]-[0]-[#] This function code is used to exit the Program Mode after it was accessed via the keypad.
[2]-[3]-[0]-[#] This function code is used to exit the Program Mode from the 9050 LCD keypad only.

PROGRAMMING PHONE NUMBERS AND FORMATS
(REQUIRED PROGRAMMING FOR CENTRAL STATION REPORTING)
This section describes all the locations that must be programmed for the Ranger 8600E to
function and report to a central station. Other programming can be found in the section
“Programming Instructions” starting on page 10.
LOCATIONS 032-047: PROGRAMMING THE PRIMARY TELEPHONE NUMBER
Theprimarytelephone number is programmedin successive locations beginningwith location 032. Anyzero(0) within
the telephone number, must be programmed as a "10". A "0" indicates the end of the phone number. Delays of four
seconds can be programmed at any point in the phone number by programming a "13" in the appropriate location. If
tone dialing is desired, program a "15" in the location where tone dialing should begin. If the entire number should be
tone dialing, program a "15" in location 032. Program an "11" for a "DQGDIRUD:KHQXVLQJVSOLWUHSRUWLQJ
the primary number always takes priority over the secondary telephone number.
LOCATIONS 048-051: PROGRAMMING THE ACCOUNT CODE FOR THE PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER
The account code sent when the PRIMARY phone number is dialed is programmed in locations 048-051. Any zero (0)
withinthe account codemustbe programmedas a"10",and thecommunicator willreporta zero(0). Iftheaccount code
isthree digits long,use locations048, 049, and050, andprograma "0"in location051to indicatethe endofthe account
code.
LOCATION 052: PROGRAMMING COMMUNICATOR FORMAT FOR THE PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER
Location 052 contains the communicator format used to transmit to the receiver connected to the primary phone
number. Consult the instructions for your central station receiver to determine which format is compatible. To select
Ademco/Silent Knight Fast, program a "2" in location 052. Radionics 1800HZ/2300HZ Fast w/Parity and Hex
Capabilityrequires a "9" in thislocation. For a Pager format,program a"15"in this location,along with theappropriate
data in locations 208 and 209. If you need another format, choose from those listed in the format table located on the
following page, and program the data in location 052. If this location contains a "0", the built-in communicator will be
disabled, and the Ranger 8600E will function as a local only control.
LOCATION 053: DISABLING THE SECONDARY TELEPHONE NUMBER AS A BACKUP
Location 053 is used to disable the secondary phone number as a "backup". This feature can be used with split
reporting (locations 176-177) to prevent a report from going to the secondary telephone number after unsuccessful
attemptsto theprimaryphone number. Programminga "0"will make thesecondary phonenumber backuptheprimary,
and the primary phone number backup the secondary. Programming a "3" will make the control alternate from the
primary to the secondary number (2 calls each) for the number of attempts programmed in location 134. If location 053
contains a "1", only the primary phone number will be called.
LOCATIONS 054-069: PROGRAMMING THE SECONDARY TELEPHONE NUMBER
Locations054-069 contain thesecondary telephonenumber. This numberallows certaincommunicatorreports togo to
another number, or to cause the communicator to dial a second number if the primary number does not respond after
the number of attempts programmed in location 134 have been tried unsuccessfully. The same number of attempts is
made with the back-up number. Tone dialing and delay instructions are the same as for the primary number.
LOCATIONS 070-073: PROGRAMMING THE ACCOUNT CODE FOR THE SECONDARY PHONE NUMBER
Locations 070-073 contain the account code for the secondary phone number. Any zero (0) within the account code
mustbe programmed asa "10", andthe communicatorwillreport azero (0). If theaccount codeisthree digitslong, use
locations070, 071, and072, and programa "0"inlocation 073to indicate theend oftheaccount code.If these locations
are left blank, the account code in locations 048-051 will be reported.
LOCATION 074: PROGRAMMING COMMUNICATOR FORMAT FOR THE SECONDARY TELEPHONE NUMBER
Location 074 contains the communicator format for the secondary phone number. Consult the instructions for your
central station receiver to determine which format is compatible. To select Ademco/Silent Knight Fast, program a "2"
in this location. Radionics 1800HZ/2300HZ Fast with Parityand Hex Capabilityrequiresa "9" inthislocation. For a
Pager format, program a "15" in this location, along with the appropriate data in locations 208 and 209. If you need
another format, choose from those listed in the following Table 1.1, and program the appropriate data in this location. If
location 074 is "0", the format programmed in location 052 will be used.

LOCATION 172: PROGRAMMING USER 7 OR MAINTENANCE CODE OPENING COMMUNICATOR CODE
The Ranger 8600E has the ability to give an opening report each time user number 7 disarms the control. The desired
opening code should be programmed in this location. This feature can be used in conjunction with the rotating
maintenance code to give an opening report each time the maintenance code is used to disarm. When using an
extended format, the extended code will always be a 7.

to give a closing report each time the maintenance code is used to arm. When using an extended format, the extended
code will always be a 7. CAUTION! If a "Quick Arm" code has been selected, and the first digit of the rotating
maintenance code is the same digit as the "Quick Arm" code, the maintenance closing code will not be reported.
LOCATION 174: PROGRAMMING ZONES 3 THRU 6 FOR NORMALLY CLOSED OPERATION ONLY
Location 174 is used to program zones 3,4,5 & 6 for normally closed operation only, eliminating the need for the end of
line resistors on that zone. When a zone is programmed for normally closed operation only, a short will not change the
loop condition, and an open on that zone will produce a faulted condition. This feature will be ignored by any Priority
zone. To program a zone for normally closed only, refer to Table 3.1 and program the appropriate data in this location.
NOTE: FOR U.L. GRADE A INSTALLATIONS, ALL ZONES MUST BE PROGRAMMED AS SUPERVISED.
