2.1 Installer’s Programming
Installer’s Programming is used to program all communicator and panel options. The Installer’s Code is
[5010] by default but may be changed to prevent unauthorized access to programming.
Installer’s programming steps are as follows:
1. Enter [✱] [8] [Installer’s Code].
The Armed light will turn ON and the System light will flash to indicate that the panel is waiting for the 3-
digit programming section number.
2. Enter the 3-digit section number corresponding to the section you wish to program.
The Armed light will turn OFF. The Ready light will turn ON and the System light will flash to indicate that
the panel is waiting for the information required to complete programming the selected section. For
example, enter [006] to change the Installer’s Code. If the 3-digit section number entered is invalid, the
control unit will sound a two second error tone.
3. Enter the information required to complete section programming (ie: numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF
options). For example, enter [4 digits] for the new Installer’s Code.
If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that
section again and re-enter the information correctly.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Installer’s Code .............................................................................. Section [006]
2.2 Programming Decimal Data
A set number of programming boxes are allotted for each section requiring decimal data (e.g.: codes,
telephone numbers). If a digit is entered for each program box, the panel will automatically exit from the
selected programming section. The Ready light will turn OFF, the Armed light will turn ON and the System light
will continue to flash.
You can also press the [#] key to exit a programming section without entering data for every box. This is handy
if you only need to change digits in the first few programming boxes. All other digits in the programming
section will remain unchanged.
2.3 Programming HEX Data
On occasion, hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required. To program a HEX digit press the [✱] key. The panel
will enter HEX programming and Ready and System lights will begin to flash.
The following are the numbers which should be pressed to enter the appropriate HEX digit:
1 = A 2 = B 3 = C 4 = D 5 = E 6 = F
Once the correct HEX digit has been entered, the Ready light will continue to flash. If another HEX digit is
required, press the corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press the [✱] key again. The Ready
light will turn ON, the System light will flash, and the panel will return to regular decimal programming.
Example:
To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, you would enter:
[✱] [3] [✱], [1]:
•[✱] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
• [3] to enter C
•[✱] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
• [1] to enter digit 1
If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter will be programmed as the HEX equivalent.
If you are using a pulse format, a decimal zero [0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the panel not to
send any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To transmit a zero [0], it must be programmed as a
Hexadecimal ‘A’.
Example:
For the three digit account number ‘403’, you would enter:
[4], [✱] [1] [✱] [3], [0]:
• [4] to enter the digit 4
•[✱] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
• [1] to enter A; [✱] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
• [3] to enter the digit 3
• [0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.

H o w t o p r o g r a m
2.4 Programming Toggle (ON/OFF) Option Sections
Some programming sections contain several toggle options. The panel will use zone lights 1 through 8 to
indicate if the different options are enabled or disabled. Press the number corresponding to the option to turn
it ON or OFF. Once all the toggle options have been selected correctly, press the [#] key to exit the section
and save the changes. The Ready light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON.
Refer to Section 5 in this manual to determine what each option represents and whether the light should be ON
or OFF for your application.
2.5 Reviewing Programming
Programming sections can be reviewed from the desktop control unit. After you have programmed a section,
when that programming section is entered, the control unit will immediately display the first digit of information
programmed in that section.
The control unit will display the information using a binary format, where:
Zone Light 1 = 1 Zone Light 2 = 2 Zone Light 3 = 4 Zone Light 4 = 8
Add up the values for the zone lights to determine the digit being displayed (for example, no zone lights = 0,
all 4 zone lights = 15 HEX ‘F’).
To view the next digit without changing the programming, simply enter the same digit as is being displayed
(example: control unit displays zone lights 1 and 2, representing the digit 3. Enter 3 and the next digit will be
displayed.).
When all the digits in a section have been viewed, the panel will exit the section; the Ready Light will turn OFF
and the Armed light will turn ON, waiting for the next two digit programming section number to be entered.
Press the [#] key to exit the section.

3.1 Hardwire Connections (Power and Telephone)
There are four jacks located at the back of the unit: one TYPE jack for the AC connector, two telephone jacks
(one Telephone In; one Telephone Out) and one RJ-38A jack for a hardwired telephone connection.
To connect the power, plug one end of the AC power adaptor to the round jack at the back of the unit. Plug the
other end into a wall. This connection will provide power to the unit.
To connect the telephone line, run a telephone cable from the wall to the Telephone In jack on the unit. To
connect a telephone to the unit, run another telephone cable from the Telephone Out jack to the telephone.

After a Delinquency Code has been transmitted, it will not send again until the system has been
armed and disarmed.
4.5 Reporting Formats
Each central station communication phone number can be programmed to report using any one of the 4
formats available. A 20 BPS pulse format is supported in addition to Contact ID, SIA and a Pager format.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Communicator Format Options ......................................................Section [360]
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Communicator Call Directions ......................................... Section [361] to [368]
The following is a description of each reporting format:
Pulse Formats
Depending on which pulse format is selected, the panel will communicate using the following specifications:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 20 bits per second
• non-extended
Additional Notes on Pulse Formats
1. The digit ‘0’ will send no pulses and is used as a filler digit.
2. When programming account numbers, enter four digits. When programming a three digit account number,
the fourth digit must be programmed as ‘0’.
• 3 digit account number [123] - program [1230]
3. If an account number has a ‘0’ in it, substitute a HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’. For example:
• 3 digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
• 4 digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
4. Reporting codes are two digits. When programming single-digit Reporting Codes, the second digit must be
programmed as a ‘0’. If a ‘0’ is to be transmitted, substitute HEX digit ‘A’. For example:
• 1 digit Reporting Code [3] - program [30]
• 2 digit Reporting Code [30] - program [3A]
5. To prevent the panel from reporting an event, the Reporting Code should be programmed as [00] or [FF].
Contact ID
Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate information using tones rather than pulses. This
format allows more information to be sent faster than other formats. For example, in addition to reporting an
alarm in zone one, the Contact ID format will also report the type of alarm, such as an Entry/Exit alarm.
To program Contact ID, a two digit number from Appendix A must be entered in order for every event to be
transmitted. The two digit number determines the type of alarm. The panel will automatically generate all other
information, including the zone number.
Additional Notes on Contact ID
1. Account Numbers must be four digits.
2. All Reporting Codes must be two digits.
3. Substitute the HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
4. To prevent the panel from reporting an event, the Reporting Code should be programmed as [00] or [FF].
Please refer to Appendix A for a list of Contact ID Identifiers.
SIA
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) rather
than pulses. The SIA format will automatically generate the type of signal being transmitted, such as Burglary,
Fire, Panic etc. The two digit Reporting Code is used to identify the zone or user code number.

10
c o m m u n i c a t i o n s p r o g r a m m i n g
If the SIA format is selected, the panel can be programmed to automatically generate all zone and
user code numbers, thus eliminating the need to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s Reporting Code is programmed as [00], the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the Reporting Code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FF], the panel will
automatically
generate the zone or user code number.
The Communicator Call Direction options can be used to disable the reporting of events such as Openings
and Closings. If all of the Opening and Closing Reporting Codes are programmed as [00], the panel will not
report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is disabled, the panel will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s Reporting Code is programmed as [00] or [FF], the panel will not attempt to call central
station.
2. If the Reporting Code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the
programmed Reporting Code.
Please refer to Appendix B for a list of SIA identifiers.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes...................................Section [381]: [3]
Pager Format
The Communicator Format option for either phone number can be programmed as the Pager Format. If an
event occurs and the Communicator Call Direction options direct the call to a phone number with the Pager
Format selected, the panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager, extra digits will be required in order for the format to function properly. The following is a
list of Hex digits and the functions they perform:
• Hex [B] - simulates the [✱] key on a touch tone phone
• Hex [E] - two second pause
• Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone phone
• Hex [F] - marks the end of the phone number
• Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager once. Once the appropriate phone number is dialed, the panel will
send the account number and Reporting Code followed by the [#] key (Hex [C]).
The panel has no way of confirming if the pager was called successfully; a Failure To Communicate trouble will
thus never be generated.
The pager format will not cause any form of ringback.
Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when using Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C will
be interpreted as a [#], which will terminate the page before it has finished.
Pager Format will not force dial, but will check for busy tone.

11
Zone Programming
section5
5.1 Zone Definitions
Program section [001] to select how each of the zones will operate. Each zone requires a two digit entry. In
addition to zone definitions, six different attributes may be programmed by zone (see Section 5.2 – “Zone
Attributes”).
[00] Null Zone
The zone is vacant. Unused zones should be programmed as Null zones.
[01] Delay 1
This zone type, normally used for entry/exit doors, can be violated during the exit delay time without causing
an alarm. Once the exit delay has expired, opening the zone will start the entry delay timer. During the entry
delay time, the buzzer will sound steadily to advise the user that the system should be disarmed. If the panel is
disarmed before the entry time expires, no alarm will be generated.
[02] Delay 2
The Delay 2 entry delay time can be set independent of Delay 1 in programming section [005] (System Times).
[03] Instant Zone
This zone type will cause an instant alarm if it is violated when the panel is armed. Typically, this zone is used
for windows, patio doors or other perimeter zones.
[04] Interior Zone
This zone will not cause an alarm if violated during the entry delay. If the zone is violated before the entry
delay has begun, it will cause an instant alarm. Typically, this zone is used for interior protection devices, such
as motion detectors.
[05] Interior Stay/Away Zone
This zone type works similar to the Interior zone type except that it will be automatically bypassed under the
following conditions:
• When the panel is armed in the Stay Mode, i.e. when the panel is armed with a user code and a Delay type
zone is NOT tripped during the exit delay.
• When the panel is armed without entry delay, see section 6.11 “[✱] Commands”.
The automatic bypass prevents the user from having to manually bypass interior type zones when arming at
home. This zone is typically used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors.
[06] Delay Stay/Away Zone
This zone type will operate similar to Interior Stay/Away zones except that it will always provide an entry delay.
Typically, this zone is used for interior protection devices, such as motion detectors. This zone option will help
prevent false alarms since it always provides an entry delay time for the user to turn off the panel.
[07] - [09] Not used
[10] 24 Hour Supervisory Buzzer Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or disarmed, the panel will immediately latch the
buzzer until a valid user code is entered and will immediately communicate to the central station.
[11] 24 Hour Burglary Zone
If this zone is violated when the system is either armed or disarmed, the panel will immediately latch the alarm
output and communicate to the central station. The alarm will sound for the Bell Cutoff time programmed in
Section [005] (“System Times”) or until a valid user code is entered.
[12] 24 Hour Holdup/Panic Zone
This zone is similar to the 24 Hour Burglary zone type, except for the SIA identifier.
[13] - [24] Not used
[87] Not used
[88] Standard 24 Hour Fire Zone
When this zone is violated, the panel will immediately latch the alarm output and communicate to the central
station. The alarm will sound for the Bell Cutoff time programmed in Section [005] (“System Times”).
A violated Fire zone will be displayed.

System Programming
section6
6.1 Programming Access Codes
There are 9 access codes programmable by the end user. All codes have the ability to arm and disarm the
system. Instructions for programming access codes are located in the WLS920 Instruction Manual.
The user-programmed codes are as follows:
Master Code – Access Code (40)
By default, the Master Code is enabled to perform any keypad function. This code can be used to program all
User Codes. This code can also be programmed by the installer in programming section [007].The Master
Code can only be changed by the Installer.
General Access Codes – Access Codes (01) to (08)
General access codes can arm and disarm the system. By selecting the No Code Required for Bypassing
option, each user can also have the ability to bypass zones without entering an access code. To limit the
bypassing ability for a user, disable the bypassing attribute for that user code (see “Programming Access
Codes” in the WLS920 Instruction Manual).
The Master code and the Installer’s code are programmed in Installer’s programming.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

Master Code ...................................................................................Section [007]
6.2 Telephone Line Monitor (TLM)
The panel will supervise the presence of the phone line and will indicate a trouble condition if the phone line is
disconnected. If the TLM Enabled option is selected, the panel will wait for the TLM Trouble Delay time
period before indicating the trouble so that a momentary interruption of the phone line will not cause a trouble
condition.
If the TLM Trouble Only When Armed option is enabled, the panel will indicate a TLM trouble only at the
control unit if the system is armed. To activate the bell output in the case of a TLM trouble while the system is
armed, the TLM Audible When Armed option must be selected.
When the trouble condition is restored, the panel can send a TLM Restoral Reporting Code. Any events which
occur while the phone line is down will also be communicated.

6.4 Test Transmission
To ensure that the communication link with the central station is functioning properly, the panel can be
programmed to send a test transmission signal on a regular basis.
The panel can send a Periodic Test Transmission Reporting Code at the programmed Test Transmission
Time of Day. The Test Transmission Cycle determines the number of days (001 to 255) between tests. If the
test transmission cycle being programmed is of a lesser value than the previous value, the system will wait the
original period before the next test transmission is sent, and then begin reporting with the new interval.
The end user can generate a communicator test. If the System Test Reporting Code is programmed, the
panel will send the signal when the System Test command is entered (see the WLS920 Instruction Manual for
information on performing a System Test).

6.5 Transmission Delay
If Transmission Delay is being used, the Opening After Alarm code must be programmed. See
Section 4.4 “Reporting Codes”
If the transmission delay zone attribute is selected for a given zone, the panel will delay reporting an alarm for
that zone for the number of seconds programmed for the Transmission Delay Time. If the panel is disarmed
before the delay time expires, the panel will not report the event.

6.6 Arming /Disarming Options
If the Quick Arm option is enabled, the panel can be armed without a user code by entering [✱] [0] or by
pressing the Stay or Away function key.
The Quick Exit option, if enabled, will allow someone to leave an armed premises through a Delay type zone
without having to disarm and rearm the system.
If the Arm/Disarm Bell Squawk option is enabled, the panel will squawk the alarm output once upon arming
and twice upon disarming. The Opening After Alarm Keypad Ringback option will give you the ability to
beep the keypad 10 times rapidly if the panel is disarmed after an alarm occurred. The Opening After Alarm
Bell Squawk option will give you the ability to squawk the bell output 10 times rapidly if the panel is disarmed
after an alarm occurred.
Closing Confirmation, if enabled, will cause the keypad to beep 10 times rapidly after the closing Reporting
Code has been transmitted to central station.
If the Bypass Status Displayed While Armed is chosen, the System light will be ON while the system is
armed to indicate any bypassed zones.
To prevent false alarms on exit, use the built-in feature Audible Exit Fault. A fault will be indicated when the
user has failed to secure the system once they have exited the premises (see the WLS920 Instruction Manual
for a full description of this feature).

6.7 Entry/Exit Delay Options
Two different entrydelays can be programmed: the first entry delay will be enabled for Delay 1 type zones and
the second for Delay 2 type zones. Only one exit delay can be programmed.
Since two Delay zones – and therefore two different Entry Delays – are programmable, when the
panel is armed, the Entry Delay will begin when the first delay zone violated.
Upon arming, the panel will begin the exit delay. If the Audible Exit Delay with Urgency option is enabled,
the control unit will beep at one second intervals until the exit delay expires. The control unit will beep rapidly
for the last 10 seconds of exit delay to warn the user that the system is about to arm.
The Audible Exit Fault will notify the user if they failed to secure the premises upon arming.
For commercial applications, the Bell Squawk on Exit Delay option may be enabled. The panel will squawk
the alarm output once every second when the exit delay is initiated and three times per second for the last 10
seconds until the exit delay expires.
Upon entry, if a Delay type zone is violated, the panel will begin the entry delay. The control unit will emit a
steady tone. The control unit will pulse the sounder during the last 10 seconds to warn the user the system is
about to go into alarm. If there was an alarm during the armed period, the control unit will pulse for the entire
entry delay to warn the user of the previous alarm.
For commercial applications Bell Squawk on Entry Delay may be enabled. The panel will squawk the alarm
output once every second until the entry delay expires or the system is disarmed.
If the Bell Squawk During Auto Arm option is enabled, the bell will squawk when the system is auto-armed in
order to notify anyone on the premises that the system is being armed.
If the Exit Delay Termination option is enabled, the panel will monitor the Delay zones during exit delay.
During the exit delay, if a Delay type zone is violated and then secured, the exit delay will be terminated and
the panel will be armed immediately.

6.8 Lockout
The panel can be programmed to ‘lockout’ if a number of incorrect user code entries are made. After the
Number of Invalid Codes Before Lockout has been reached the panel will lock out the keys for the Lockout
Duration and log the event to the event buffer. For the duration of the lockout the panel will sound an error
tone when any key is pressed.
Lockout will reset every hour.
To disable Lockout program the Number of Invalid Codes Before Lockout as [000].

6.9 Swinger Shutdown
The swinger shutdown feature is designed to prevent a “runaway” communicator from tying up the central
station. After the panel has communicated the programmed number of transmissions for an event, it will no
longer report that event until the swinger shutdown is reset. Different swinger shutdown levels can be set for
zone alarms, zone tampers and maintenance signals.
By default, each Swinger Shutdown limit is set to [003]. The panel will not send more than three signals for
each zone until the swinger shutdown is reset.
Swinger shutdown will be reset every day at midnight or when the panel is armed. Once reset, the panel will
again communicate normally.

the specific trouble.
To view the type of trouble condition, press [✱][2]. The System light will flash and one or more zone lights will
turn ON, indicating the various trouble conditions:
Trouble [1] - Low Battery
The main panel backup battery is low. The trouble will be generated if the battery drops below 5.8 volts under
load and will restore when the battery charges over 6.1 volts.
Trouble [2] - AC Failure
This trouble indicates that AC power is no longer being supplied to the control unit. If it is required to
communicate this to a monitoring station, program reporting codes in sections [349] and [350]. To inhibit
reporting of short duration power outages, a delay can be programmed in section [370].
Trouble [3] - Telephone Line Trouble
The telephone connection to the control unit is continuously monitored. If there is a problem with the telephone
connection, a trouble will be indicated after the delay programmed in section [370].
Trouble [4] - Failure to Communicate (FTC)
If the communicator fails in an attempt to communicate with any of the programmed telephone numbers, this
trouble will be generated. If a later attempt is successful, the FTC reporting code(s) programmed in section
[351] will be transmitted along with any other unreported events that occurred while the panel was not able to
communicate.
Trouble [5] - Zone Fault (including Fire Zone)
This trouble will be indicated if any zone on the system is in a trouble condition, i.e. it could not provide an
alarm to the panel if required to do so. When a trouble condition occurs, the control unit will start to beep.
Press [5], while in Trouble mode, to view which zones have a trouble condition.
Trouble [6] - Zone Tamper
This trouble is generated when a tamper condition is present. When a tamper condition occurs, the control unit

[✱]+[9] Arming Without Entry Delay
When the system is armed with the [✱][9] command the panel will remove the entry delay. After the exit delay,
Delay 1 and Delay 2 type zones will be instant and Stay/Away zones will remain bypassed.
(See Section 5.1
“Zone Definitions”).
A valid access code must be entered after pressing [✱] [9].
[✱]+[0] Quick Arm/Quick Exit
Quick Arm
If the Quick Arm Enable option is enabled the panel can be armed by entering [✱][0]. This is a useful method
of arming the system when someone without a User Code will be required to arm.
Quick Exit
Quick Exit will allow someone to leave an armed premise through a Delay type zone without having to disarm
and rearm the system.
When [✱][0] is entered, if the Quick Exit Enabled option is enabled, the panel will provide a two minute window
to exit. During this time the panel will ignore the first activation of a Delay type zone. When the Delay zone is
secured the panel will end the two minute time period.
If a second Delay zone is tripped, or if the zone is not restored after two minutes, the panel will start entry delay.
