6.0 Glossary
6.1 General Control Programming
•Normal Arming - [PIN] + [On]: If programmed, arms the entire
system while allowing entry delays for entry/exit zones.
•Perimeter Instant Arming - [PIN] + [No Entry] + [Perimeter Only]:
If programmed, arms only the perimeter of the system and does
not allow entry delays for entry/exit zones.
•Perimeter Arming - [PIN] + [Perimeter Only]: If programmed,
armsonly the perimeter of the system while allowing entry delays
for entry/exit zones.
•Custom Arming -[PIN]+[#] + [4]: If programmed, allows custom
arming of the system and bypasses the zone functions specified
in data address 0183.
•Maximum Security Arming - [PIN] + [No Entry] + [On]: If
programmed, arms the entire system and does not allow an entry
delay for entry/exit zones.
•General“Arm-Only” Authority by Partition
A general (level 2) authority can be programmed to have arm-
only authority by partition. This is done at addresses 0198 and
0199.
-Arm-only access by partition allows someone with a General
Authority to arm and/or bypass zones in a partition he can not
disarm.
-This level can still be used to arm, disarm, and bypass zones
in the other partitions that it has access to.
•Closing Ring-Back: If programmed, the keypad sounders and
Bell will activate for 2 seconds after the system is armed and the
closing report is successfully sent. This requires Closing Ring-
Back and Closing Report to be programmed.
-If a closing report is not programmed, the control will test for a
dial tone when the system is armed. If the test passes, the
system will arm normally. If the test fails, the system will arm,
but will indicate a trouble condition.
-The DS7447 keypad will display “Communication Err” after [#]
[8] [7] is entered.
•Siren on Comm. Fail for Silent Zone: If programmed, a silent
zone will sound the alarm outputs if the zone is in an alarm
condition and the system fails to communicate with the central
station.
•Restore when Sounders Silence: Ifprogrammed, a zone sends
a restoral report and is ready to activate again only after the
burglary bell cut-off time expires or the bells are silenced.
-The zone can alarm multiple times per armed period.
•Restore when Zone Restores: If programmed, a zone sends a
restoral report and is ready to activate again as soon as it
physically restores.
-This zone can alarm multiple times per armed period.
•Restore when System Disarms: If programmed, a zone sends
a restoral report when the system is disarmed.
-It can only alarm once per armed period.
•Allow Swinger Shunts: If programmed, a zonecanonly alarm or
trouble up to three times per armed period. After the third alarm
or trouble, the zone will be bypassed and a trouble report will be
sent.
6.2 Zone Function Programming
•Zone Function
A Zone Function is the description of how a particular zone will
behave (e.g. steady alarm output, bypassing allowed, alarm on
short, trouble on open, perimeter instant).
-Zone functions may be custom made, but 8 default zone
functions already exist.
-There are many possible zone functions, but only up to 15
different zone functions are allowed per control.
-Each zone must be programmed as a specific zone function.
Any number and combination of zones may be programmed
as particular zone functions.
•Invisible Alarms: This is a zone programmed not to have an
alarm output or an alarm display at any keypad when activated.
An alarm signal will be sent, but the DS7447 keypad display will
read “Not Ready” while this zone is violated.
-Invisible Alarm zones are recommended for holdup alarms.
•Silent Alarms: This is a zone programmed to activate the visual
display at the keypad, but not audible signals.
-Ifthiszone is also an entry zone, an entry tone will sound when
this zone is activated.
•Bypassing Allowed: This is a zone programmed to allow
bypassing (shunting). This is done using the bypass command
or the force-arming sequence.
•Alarm on Short: Thisisa zone programmed to activateanalarm
when its loop is shorted.
•Alarm on Open: Thisisazoneprogrammedtoactivate an alarm
when its loop is opened.
•Trouble on Open: Thisis azone programmedtoactivateatrouble
when its loop is opened and the system is disarmed.
-Ifthesystem is armed, thiszonewillactivate an alarm ifshorted
or opened.
-For 24-hour zones, regardless of the arming state of the panel,
this always remains as a Trouble on Open.
•Trouble on Short: Thisis azone programmedtoactivateatrouble
when its loop is shorted and the system is disarmed.
-Ifthesystem is armed, thiszonewillactivate an alarm ifshorted
or opened.
-For 24-hour zones, regardless of the arming state of the panel,
this always remains as a Trouble on Short.
•Interior Delayed: This is a zone programmed to be ignored
duringtheentry/exitdelay period. If it is violated when the system
is armed, it will activate a delay for the programmed entry delay
time. The keypad pre-alert sounders will activate and the system
may be disarmed during this delay period. If the system is not
disarmedduringthis delay period, this zone will activateanalarm.
This zone is bypassed by Perimeter Instant or Perimeter Armed.
•Perimeter Instant: This is a zone programmed to activate an
alarm even during the entry/exit delay period.
•24-Hour: This is a zone programmed to activate when its loop is
faulted, even if the system is disarmed.
•Entry/Exit Delay #1: This is a zone programmed to be ignored
during the entry/exit delay period.
-If it is violated while the system is armed, it will activate a delay
for the amount of time programmed for entry delay time #1
(address 0191). The keypad pre-alert sounders will activate
and the system may be disarmed during this delay period.
-If the system is not disarmed during the entry period, this zone
will activate an alarm.

DS7400Xi-AT (Ver. 3+) Reference Guide Copyright © 1995-2000 Detection Systems, Inc. Page 16
•Entry/Exit Delay #2: This is a zone programmed to behave
identical to the Entry/Exit Delay #1 zone function except that it
uses entry delay time #2 (address 0192).
If both entry delays have been activated, the control will
use the shorter entry delay.
•Entry/Exit Delay Cancel Zone Functions: Entry/Exit Delay
Cancel 1 and Entry/Exit Delay Cancel 2 Zone Functions cause
the exit delay, for the partition the zone is in, to expire as soon as
the premises are vacated.
-If a zone is programmed as an Entry/Exit Delay Cancel zone,
and it is activated during the exit delay, the exit delay will expire
as soon as the zone has been restored.
-Entry/Exit Delay Cancel 1 follows entry delay 1.
-Entry/Exit Delay Cancel 2 follows entry delay 2.
-They are programmed at addresses 0001-0015.
•Interior Entry/Exit Follower: This is a zone programmed to be
ignored during an entry/exit delay and then become an interior
instant zone.
-If this zone is violated while the system is armed and no entry/
exit zones have been violated, it will activate an alarm.
-If this zone is violated after an entry/exit delay zone is violated,
it will follow that entry/exit delay time.
-Thiszone is bypassedbyPerimeter Instant or Perimeterarming.
•Interior Home/Away: This is a zone programmed to become an
interior instant zone if the system is armed and an entry/exit
delay zone is violated during the exit delay time.
-If the system is armed and an entry/exit delay zone is not
violated, this zone will be bypassed.
-Thiszone is bypassedbyPerimeter Instant or Perimeterarming.
•Interior Instant: This is a zone programmed to activate an alarm
even during the entry/exit delay periods.
-It is bypassed by Perimeter Instant or Perimeter arming.
•Day Monitor: This is a zone programmed to be a perimeter
instant zone when the system is armed.
-When the system is disarmed, any violation of this zone will
activate the keypad sounders which will sound continuously
until a disarm command sequence is entered.
-The alarm outputs for this zone will not activate and there will
be no report for this zone when the system is disarmed.
•Keyswitch Input: Thisis a zoneprogrammedto allow thesystem
to be armed or disarmed using a Normally Open momentary
keyswitch.
-Outputs for keyswitch LEDs and sounders are available using
the programmable outputs or the Octal relay outputs.
-An output is needed for each LED and sounder.
-A keyswitch will only control the partition that these zones are
assigned to unless programmed as a master, then they will
control all at once. See Program Address 0001, Data Digit 1.
-Keyswitches and keypads may be used in the same partition,
if desired.
•Fire Zone: Thisisazoneprogrammedtoactivateifthesystemis
armed or disarmed.
-It can be silenced (not reset) by entering a valid [PIN] + [Off].
-The display will indicate a Fire Alarm for this zone on all
keypads in every partition.
-Afire reset command must be entered after silencing the alarm
to re-enable this zone.
-If this zone is programmed for trouble on open and the loop
opens, the DS7447 keypad will display “Fire Trouble” and
“Control Trouble” and the keypad sounders will beep once
every ten seconds.
-If the system is a combination fire and burglar alarm, the fire
alarm has priority over the burglar alarm.
•Fire Zone withVerification: This zone is identical to a Fire Zone
exceptthatafterthefirstalarm,itwillperform a fire reset and then
wait up to two minutes for a second alarm.
-If a second alarm occurs within this two minute period, the
system will indicate a fire alarm.
-If there is no second alarm within this two minute period, the
control panel will reset back to its normal condition.
Use of this control’s alarm verification feature is not
permitted for applications in the state of California.
•Water Flow Zone: This is a zone programmed to operate like a
Fire Zone, but is specifically intended for water flow switches.
-An optional retard timer can be programmed to compensate
for changes in water pressure. If the timer is used, the water
flow zone must be activated for the complete time period; an
alarm will be initiated at the end of the timer period.
-The maximum combined water flow delay of the control panel
and the device must not exceed two minutes.
Any zone can be a water flow zone, but only zones 1
through 4 may be programmed as delayed water flow
zones.
•Supervisory Zone: Thisisazone programmed to accommodate
shut-off valves.
-It will indicate a supervisory condition at the keypads when
activated.
6.3 Zone Programming
•Zone
A Zone is an input to the DS7400Xi Control/Communicator.
-There are 8 hardwired zones on the main circuit board.
-Additional zones may be added by using the DS7433 (8 zone
expansion module), the DS7430 (multiplex loop module), and/
or other modules.
•Single Zone Input: This is an individual zone such as the zones
1-8 on the control, multiplex contacts, sensors, RF zones or a
DS7457.
•Multiple Zone Input: This is a zone connected to one of the 8-
Input Modules (DS7432 or DS7433), to a Dual Zone Module
(DS7460) or to one of the Wireless Receiver Modules (RF7434
or RF7435).
-The inputs are programmed separately (see the separate
Programming Addresses Worksheet, P/N 29802).
-When using the Dual Zone Module (DS7460), loop A is always
programmed as an odd numbered program address (ending
in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9). Loop B is the even numbered program
address that follows loop A.
•DS7465: This is the input zone or the output relay on a DS7465.
The odd numbered zone is programmed for the input zone
function and the even numbered zone is programmed for the
output function.
•Multiplex Smoke: This is a multiplexed input zone (zones 9-
128) that is used with a MX280 series smoke detector.This zone
must have a Zone Function of Fire Zone and Trouble on Open
applied to the multiplex smoke zone.

DS7400Xi-AT (Ver. 3+) Reference Guide Copyright © 1995-2000 Detection Systems, Inc. Page 17
•Multiplex Smoke with LowTemperature: Thiszoneisusedwith
theMX280 series smoke detectors with a low temperature alarm.
Making this selection requires the programming of two zones as
follows:
-Smoke Alarm. This must be the odd numbered zone of the
zone pair required for these devices. The zone must be
programmed with a zone function that is set for Fire Zone and
Trouble onOpen.
-Low Temperature Alarm. This must be the even numbered
zone of the zone pair required for these devices. This zone
must be programmed with a zone function that is set as
Supervisory and Trouble on Open.
6.4 Output Programming
•Latch on Any Zone Alarm: This is an output programmed to
activate upon any zone alarm (including invisible zones) and
will latch until the system has been disarmed.
-If this output responds to a fire zone, it will remain latched until
the fire reset command is performed.
•ON during Entry Pre-Alert: This is an output programmed to
activate when an entry/exit zone is violated while the system is
armed.
-It will remain activated until the system is disarmed, or until the
entry delay time has expired.
•ON for 10 seconds after [PIN] + [System Reset] is entered: This
is an output programmed to activate for 10 seconds after the fire
reset command is entered at the keypad or if a Fire Zone with
Verification activates.
-This output is intended to be used to power 4-wire smoke
detectorsoranyotherdevicethatrequiresapowerinterruption
to reset an alarm condition.
When Programmable Output 2 is programmed this way, it
will normally supply auxiliary power and will turn OFF for
10 seconds when the fire reset command is entered.
•ON when System is Armed: This is an output programmed to
activate when the system is armed or partial armed.
-Armed Full: Ifselected,only fullyarming thesystemwill activate
the output.
-Armed Partial: If selected, only thefollowingarmingconditions
will activate the output: arming with bypasses, custom arming,
force arming, any form of partial arming and perimeter arming.
-Armed Any: Ifselected,any armingstate willactivate theoutput.
-The output will remain activated until the system is disarmed.
•Ground Start: This is an output programmed to activate for 3
seconds when the phone line is seized. It is intended for use with
ground start phone systems that require a momentary short to
ground to obtain a dial tone.
-Connect a separate 12 VDC, DPDT relay.
-Connect both relay contact commons to ground, and connect
the Normally Open of each contact to terminal positions 13
and 16 (one to terminal 13, the other to 16) of the DS7400Xi.
-This output follows all partitions regardless of how data digit 2
of the output programming address is programmed.
-Not intended for U. L. Listed systems. Not for use with phone
line monitors.
•System Status (ready to arm): Thisisan output programmed to
follow the Status LED of the keypad.
-It will activate when the system is ready to arm with no zones
violated.
•Zone Alarm: This is an output programmed to activate when a
zone is in an alarm condition.
-It will remain activated until the system is disarmed or the bell
cut-off time expires.
-This output is intended to activate alarm bells and sirens.
-This will not activate from Silent or Invisible Zones.
•Zone Alarm Delayed by 20 sec.: This is an output programmed
to wait 20 seconds after a zone enters an alarm condition to
activate.
-It will remain activated until the system is disarmed or the bell
cut-off time expires.
-This output is intended to activate alarm bells and sirens, but
provides a delay to allow the user to silence the system before
it activates.
•Output Functions
Output Functions can be programmed to follow system events or
to follow one or two specific zones in a “cross-matrix” fashion
(see Input/Output Cross-Matrixing).
-These Output Functions can be programmed to control Octal
Relay outputs or Multiplex Bus outputs.
-Output Functions are programmed at addresses 1472 through
1516.
•Input/Output Cross Matrixing
Input/Output Cross Matrixing allows Output Functions to follow
the status of specific input zones (zones 1 through 99 only).
-Outputs can be programmed to follow any combination of one
or two zones, open or closed, with the system armed or
disarmed.
-If programmed to latch, the output will latch until a valid PIN is
entered at the keypad.
•Keypad Sounder Output: Thisisan output programmed to follow
the keypad sounder.
-Activates during the entry pre-alert, during the exit warning
andduringany day monitor alarm. It does notfollowmomentary
keypad beeps such as keystrokes, chimes, etc.
•Access Output: Thisisanoutputprogrammed toactivatefor 10
seconds when an access control PIN is entered at the keypad.
-Not U. L. Listed for Access Control (UL294).
•Panic/Duress Output: All outputs, including the three on-board
outputs, the Octal Relays, and the Output Functions, support a
Panic/Duress function. To assign an output as a Panic/Duress
Output, program the first data digit as “*1”and data digit two for
the appropriate output: burglar, fire or both. This output will follow
Duress activations, Keypad Emergency Keys B and C, and
Invisible and Silent Zone alarms. It will reset after being
acknowledgedbya user or after theburglarybelltime-out expires.
•Multiplex Bus Outputs
The DS7400Xi supports up to 20 or 40 (when using a DS7436
Multiplex Module) DS7465 Input/Output Modules.
-Thesemodulesare connected to the multiplex bus and provide
one input loop and one Form “C” output relay.
-The input loop operates the same as all other multiplex inputs.
-Theoutput loop can beprogrammedto follow OutputFunctions.
-Multiplex Bus outputs can be bypassed using the bypass
function. If an output zone is bypassed while it is ON, it will turn
OFF.The bypass willnotbe removed whenthesystem is armed
andthendisarmed;itmust be cancelled by entering the bypass
command again or by cancelling all bypasses.
DS7465Moduleoutputs will not pulse,evenifprogrammed
to do so.
•Octal Relay Modules (DS7488)
The DS7400Xi can support two Octal Relay Modules.
-Each relay can be programmed to follow system-wide events
or Output Functions as described above.

DS7400Xi-AT (Ver. 3+) Reference Guide Copyright © 1995-2000 Detection Systems, Inc. Page 18
•Solid State Output Modules (DS7489)
The DS7400Xi can support two Solid State Output Modules.
-Each output can be programmed to follow system-wide events
or Output Functions as described above.
6.5 Partition Control Programming
•Partition Control Programming: Up to eight partitions may be
used. They are assigned (program address 0165) in order.
-For example: When using only one partition, it is partition one.
When using three partitions, they are partitions one, two, and
three.
-Partitioningallows the systemtoact asupto 8 differentsystems.
-Zones, keypads, outputs, and other items may be assigned to
particular partitions.
-Access to partitions may be through each partition’s keypad or
through a Master keypad (see the operating section for more
details).
•Common Area: Partition 1 can be programmed as a common
area, that is, common to other partitions. This allows it to be used
in an installation with one common entry area such as a foyer or
vestibule.
-When Partition 1 is programmed as a common area, it will only
arm when all the partitions it is common to are armed.
-The common area will disarm when any of the partitions it is
common to are disarmed - only if the user has access to the
common area.
-When using a common area, a Master keypad should be used
and assigned to the common area (see keypad assignment
programming).
6.6 Keypad Assignment Programming
•Keypad Assignment: The keypad type and the partition it is
assigned to must be programmed.
-Eachprogramaddress(0173-0180)programsthekeypad type
for two keypads. For example: data digit 1 of address 0173 is
for keypad 1, data digit 2 of address 0173 is for keypad 2.
-Each program address (0208-0215) programs the partition
assignment for two keypads. For example: data digit 1 of
address 0208 is for the partition assignment of keypad 1, data
digit2ofaddress0208isforthepartitionassignmentofkeypad
2.
-Usersmusthaveaccessto the partition the keypad is assigned
to in order to use the keypad.
•Master Keypad Programming : A Master keypad can be used
to access all the partitions.
-It will display the arm/disarm status of all the partitions and can
beusedtoindividuallycontroleachpartition(seetheoperating
section for an explanation of the keypad displays).
-A Master keypad can be assigned to any of the partitions.
-Any number of the 15 allowable keypads can be a Master
keypad.
-When using the common area, it is suggested that a Master
keypad be used and that it is assigned to the common area.
6.7 Emergency Key Programming
Do not label these keys if they are unprogrammed. Only
the “A” key may be programmed and labeled as the Fire
key. These keys are not intended to substitute for Listed
manual pull boxes.
•Fire Key: The emergency key (key A) at the bottom left of the
keypad entry area is the Fire Key. If programmed, the key will
activate a fire alarm when pressed for 2 seconds.
-It may be programmed for a steady or pulsed alarm.
The Fire Key will generate the fire alarm sounders in the
partition that activated the Fire Key. Any other partitions in
use will only have their keypad sounders activated. All
keypad displays will be the same.
•Special Emergency Key: The emergency key (key B) at the
bottom center of the keypad entry area is the Emergency Key.
-If programmed, the key will activate a supplementary or an
auxiliary type alarm when pressed for 2 seconds.
-It may be programmed for a silent, steady, or pulsed alarm.
•Panic Key: The emergency key (key C) at the bottom right of the
keypad entry area is the Panic Key.
-Ifprogrammed, the keywillactivate a panicalarmwhen pressed
for 2 seconds; nothing will display at the keypad to indicate an
alarm.
-It may be programmed for a silent, steady, or pulsed alarm.
The Special Emergency Key and the Panic Key will
generate the alarm sounders only in the partition of the
keypad that activated that Key.
6.8 Custom Arming Programming
•Custom Arming - [PIN ] + [#] [4]: If programmed, the [PIN] + [#]
+[4]commandsequencemaybeusedtocustomarmthesystem
by arming only certain zone functions.
-For example: All interior zones plus some perimeter zones
may be bypassed while leaving some of the perimeter armed.
6.9 Force Arming
•Force Arming: Ifprogrammed, allows violated zones to be force
armed. When force arming, the user must enter the usual arming
command followed by the [Bypass] key. This automatically
bypasses zones that are violated and programmed as
bypassable.
-Fire zones, supervisory zones, keyswitch zones, and non-
bypassable zones can not be force armed.
-Not available in U. L. Listed systems.
-See Program Address 0185.
6.10 Ground Fault Detect Programming
•Ground Fault: If programmed, this function will allow the system
to detect ground faults. This function is required for fire panels
and will be forced on when the panel is in the commercial fire
mode.
-See Program Address 0185.
6.11 Commercial Fire Mode Programming
In a system that includes both fire alarm and burglar alarm
devices, the system must produce distinct sounds for fire
and burglar alarm conditions either by using different
indicating appliances or by using distinct cadences for
the same appliance.
•Commercial Fire Mode: When in Commercial Fire Mode, the
control panel will perform some functions (e.g. communications)
differently to conform with commercial fire regulations.
-See Commercial Fire Mode Programming, program address
0186.
•Water Flow Zone Delay: This is the amount of time a water flow
zone must be violated before the control panel will initiate an
alarm.
-The delay is necessary to accommodate normal changes in
water pressure.
-If the water flow initiating device incorporates its own time
delay, do not program the control panel unit to exceed 120
seconds combined time delay.

DS7400Xi-AT (Ver. 3+) Reference Guide Copyright © 1995-2000 Detection Systems, Inc. Page 19
•Pulsing Fire Zone: This is a zone programmed to output a pulse
forafire alarm in thenormalmanner(one second ON, onesecond
OFF).
•California MarchTime: This is a zone programmed to output a
pulse for a fire alarm in the California Time cadence (ten 1/2
second pulses, followed by one second of quiet time).
•Temporal: This is a zone programmed to output a pulse for a fire
alarmintheTemporal cadence (three1/2second pulses,followed
by one second of quiet time).
•Single Keypad Use: The keypad should be used on the keypad
bus and be mounted to the front of the control enclosure OR if
within the same room as the control equipment with the wire run
in conduit (or equivalently protected against mechanical injury)
within 20 ft. (6.1 m) of the control equipment.
-This keypad should be assigned as address 1.
•Multiple Keypad Use: One keypad only must be used on the
option bus, at any address from 11 - 14, and must meet the
following requirements:
-The keypad must be mounted to the front of the control
enclosure OR mounted within the same room as the control
equipment and the wire is run in conduit (or equivalently
protected against mechanical injury) within 20 ft. (6.1 m) of the
control equipment.
-All other keypads should be connected to the keypad bus and
may be placed as needed (within the noted wiring limitations
in the installation manual).
-One keypad must be assigned as address 1.
6.12 Open/Close Report Control Programming
•Open and Close Reports: Ifprogrammed, thesereportsaresent
when the system is armed or disarmed. They may be sent
independently for the opening and closing of each partition, or
the first partition to open and the last partition to close may send
the reports.
•Alternate between both Phone Numbers: Ifprogrammed, open
and close reports will be sent to phone number one first. If phone
number one does not pick-up, the control panel will alternate to
phone number two. If phone number two does not pick-up, the
control panel will alternate back to phone number one. It will
alternate between both phone numbers until successful.
6.13 Report Programming
•Reports: Forpulseformats,reportsareprogrammedbyentering
data in the reporting and extended digits. The report will send the
data programmed for each event. For SIA and Contact ID, the
