Alarms >Miscellaneous Settings
These miscellaneous settings normally do not need to be changed.



Battery Test Interval (hours)
This is the interval in hours between Battery checks from the last time the test was done (keypad F,3,1) or from Reset. If this value is 0 or 255, the automatic timed battery test is disabled. Default is 24 hours.

Battery Test Duration (minutes)
This is the time in minutes when the mains power to the system is disconnected during  a Battery test. During this time, if a low battery condition is detected, the system will reconnect the mains power and generate a Low Battery Alarm. Battery test is activated in  Test menu (F,3,1). Default is 2 minutes.

Zone Auto-Shunt Count
This is also known as "swinger shunt", to help prevent false alarms. The number programmed here is the number of successive triggers at the same zone which causes the zone to be automatically bypassed until the system is disarmed. This minimizes calls to a central station or phone if a zone continuously gets triggered, due to a fault or swinging door. Default is 3.

Alert Time (minutes)
This is the window of the alert time started by the activation of an Alert or Perimeter zone type. During this time window another zone activation may cause an Intruder Alarm (see the flowchart for Alert and Perimeter zone activation in the Programming Manual). the Alert time is programmable up to 60 minutes. Any number greater than 60 minutes will cause a 60 minute alert time. Default is 10 minutes.

Line Cut Timer (seconds)
This determines how long a telephone line cut is detected before Comfort reports it as a line cut alarm. Setting too short a time could cause false line cut detection due to momentary telephone line problems or tests performed by the telephone company. Default is 60 seconds.

Siren Delay (minutes)
This is the delay time in minutes before the siren starts when an alarm is triggered. Setting a value here does not cause a siren delay. Each Alarm Type has a setting for Siren Delay on or off, i.e. you can decide which alarm should have a siren delay. The Siren delay will be the same for all Alarm Types which have the Siren Delay setting on. If the telephone line is cut during the Siren Delay, the siren is turned on immediately. Default is 3 minutes.
