About the 7720 PLUS

The 7720PLUS self-contained synthesized subscriber radio is the subscriber end of a Long

Range Radio alarm reporting system. As a communications link, by analogy to a telephone-

based system, the 7720PLUS is comparable to a digital communicator connected by

telephone line to a central monitoring station.

Installer, please read this Installation and Setup Guide all the way through and become completely

familiar with it before attempting to install a 7720PLUS Synthesized Subscriber Radio.

System Features

Synthesized Frequency Selection

The 7720PLUS can be programmed to operate on any authorized radio frequency. It is not

necessary to stock a separate radio for each frequency the installer supports.

Wireless Reporting

All alarm and status messages are transmitted to the master station network via radio

signals, which means faster and more secure reporting.

Integrated Electronics

The entire radio link equipment, except for the AC power supply unit, including interface,

transmitter, battery and antenna, is housed in a single package, requiring only alarm

inputs from a compatible alarm panel.

Selection of Input Interfaces

The 7720PLUS can monitor alarm inputs from the ADEMCO ECP interface, discrete 4 zone

contact closures or their electrical equivalent.

NOTE: ECP features are compatible only with 685 software revision 4.7 and higher, and

685-5 software revision 8.1 and higher.

Compatibility

The 7720PLUS is compatible with existing installations using ADEMCO equipment or other

control panels. The 7720PLUS can be used in conjunction with digital communicators on the

same system, both acting as backup to each other (use an ADEMCO 659-EN Line Monitor

connected to a zone input to report a line cut to backup a digital dialer), while connecting the

radio fault output to a zone on the dialer.

Built-in LED Indicators

Three LEDs are used to indicate message transmissions, and radio faults (refer to Tables 1

and 2). A blinking yellow LED indicates normal operation.

Section 5: Testing the 7720PLUS

for additional status

information.

Built-in Tamper Protection

For added protection, built-in cover tamper switches trigger an alarm whenever the chassis

cover is removed, thus protecting against unauthorized access to the 7720PLUS. The tamper

zone number must be entered during programming to enable tamper reporting. A radio

configured for ECP automatically reports the tamper status to the control panel, as well as to

the central station

Antenna

The 7720PLUS can use either the supplied omni-directional wire antenna, or can use a 7825

outdoor antenna, 7625 omni-directional antenna, 7625-3DB antenna (if additional gain is

required), or a 7674 (if a directional antenna is required), by using the optional 7720ANT

connector kit. For wall mounting, an optional 7825DP can be used. The supplied antenna

mounts directly to the7720PLUS. The antennas (other than the wire and the dipole) can be

mounted remotely using the following pre-assembled coaxial cable available from ADEMCO:

5ft coax (P/N 7626-5), 12ft coax (P/N 7626-12), 25ft coax (P/N 7626-25HC), and 50ft coax (P/N

7626-50HC).

Section1. System Features and Operation

1-3

Programmable Features

The 7720PLUS utilizes EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)

technology that allows the 7720PLUS to be programmed with a 7720P Programming Tool.

The programming options include:

• radio frequency channel number (1 to 14)

• Telco channel assignments for fault input

• inverted trigger inputs

• delayed reporting channels (1-127 seconds delay, if selected), and

• open/close/restore reporting channels.

Self -Diagnosing Transmitter

Malfunctions of the transmitter, including antenna fault, radio transmitter fault, loss of

external power, and low internal DC voltage can be displayed on the 7720P Programming

Tool or reported on the ECP interface, as well as being transmitted to the master station, if

the fault does not prevent such transmission. Faults can also trigger contact closures on a

Form “C” relay to indicate radio faults.

Power Supply

The 7720PLUS is powered by an AC wall transformer, part number (1324), which provides

12VAC to the radio on pins 1 and 2 of the terminal block. An internal rechargeable battery

provides power to the radio in the event of AC power outage. This battery is charged from the

AC power supply during normal operation of the radio.

Low Battery Monitoring

The 7720PLUS tests its battery under 200mA load approximately every 4 hours. During this

test, the 7720PLUS notifies the central station of a low battery condition if the battery

voltage drops below 9.93V (± 5%). Low battery restore messages are reported during

successive tests if the battery voltage reaches 10.03V (± 5%). During an AC failure condition,

the periodic battery test is not performed, but the battery voltage is tested during each

regular transmission, and a detected low battery condition is transmitted as described. A

radio configured for ECP reports the battery status to the control panel as well as to the

central station (most current controls do not annunciate this condition unless it occurs in

conjunction with a more serious fault).

Low Battery Shutdown

In the absence of AC power, if battery voltage drops below 9.45 volts, the 7720PLUS will

automatically shutdown and all LEDs will be off. However, so long as there is AC power, in

the normal range of 102 to 138VAC at the wall outlet, the radio will operate properly,

regardless of the condition of the battery.

General Operation

The 7720PLUS receives alarm and restore signals from the control panel and converts these

signals to radio messages. These messages are transmitted to the master station network,

which in turn relays the messages to the central station. The 7720PLUS can monitor 4

traditional zone inputs or an ECP signal line from an appropriate control panel. The first

two zones may be configured by the use of a jumper, to activate on either 0 volts or 4.5-

14.2VDC; zones 3 and 4 are hard-wired to activate on 4.5-14.2VDC. Zones 1-4 can also be

programmed to invert the sense of their input signals. (Zones normally are activated when

the signal goes to a positive voltage. Inverting the zone trigger means that the zone is

activated when the signal goes to ground. The pull-up voltage for zones 1 and 2 can be

supplied by changing a jumper. Pull-up voltage for any of the zones can be supplied from the

radio through external resistors or from a control panel.)

7720PLUS Installation and Setup Guide

1-4

Upon detecting an alarm or restoral, the 7720PLUS transmits the messages to the master

station network. The transmissions repeat for approximately 6 minutes (total of 60

messages) to ensure that the alarm or other report is received by the central monitoring

station.

The 7720PLUS periodically transmits supervisory status messages to the AlarmNet

network. The supervision period (window) is a programmable feature. If no messages are

received during the supervisory window, the network will generate a communication failure

signal to the central station.

Radio faults that may prevent communication are indicated locally via the Radio Fault LED

(refer to Table 2) and they are reported to the control panel via the fault relay in zone mode

or via the ECP Status message in ECP mode. The fault relay, which is only available in zone

mode, is a contact closure that can be either normally open or normally closed. In addition it

can be selected to be “fail-safe” by programming the fault relay to be “on” (i.e., the relay is

powered unless there is a fault). The fault output is between TB1-11 and TB1-12, which float

with reference to the rest of the circuit.

When using ADEMCO's low-end control panels (VISTA-10SE, VISTA-20SE, VIA-30P), the

ECP Status code is displayed on the control panel's keypad as “Long Rnge Fail” followed by a

4-digit code. When using ADEMCO's high-end control panels, a description of the fault is

displayed in conjunction with a “CHECK 8xx” message where “xx” is the ECP address of the

7720PLUS.

Also available only in zone mode is the ability for the 7720PLUS to provide status

information via its serial port, thus allowing radio status to be displayed on command, using

either a 7720P Programming Tool or a computer terminal. Refer to Section 5: Testing the

7720PLUS for information regarding the “S” command and status messages.

Low Battery Detection and Restoral

Low Battery Detection

The radio tests the condition of the battery periodically. If the radio finds that the battery is

low, a low battery warning message is transmitted. When the battery voltage restores, the

radio transmits a battery restore message.

The battery is under continuous float charge whenever the AC power is connected and

sufficient.

(J2) Zone Inputs Activate on High or Low

NOTE: See Figure 2 when setting jumpers.

If using zone input connections, set the zone sense select jumper so that zone 1 and 2 inputs

are activated either with a ground or with a positive voltage, whichever is required.

If the trigger level is set for positive voltage, +4.5 to +14.2 volts must be applied to zones 1

and 2 to trigger an alarm. If the zone is connected to a normally high voltage trigger (i.e.,

goes low on alarm), invert this zone when programming (Questions 13 and 14).

If ground is selected zones 1 and 2 are internally pulled up to 5 volts through a 10k-ohm

resistor. This voltage should normally be pulled down (closed contact to ground) and released

for alarm (opening the contact). If a normally open contact is being used, invert this zone

when programming (Questions 13 and 14).

(J3) Fault Output Select (Zone Mode Only)

The radio fault output relay may be programmed for either Fail-Safe mode (relay always

energized) or Low Current mode (relay normally de-energized) by selecting Yes or No to

programming Question 27: FLT REL ON (Y/N). In addition, the relay can be set for either

N.O. or N.C. operation (in either Fail-Safe or Low Current modes) using the fault relay sense

jumper. When Fail-Safe mode is selected, the relay will change states (and trigger a dialer, if

connected) in the event of power loss.

NOTE: Fail-Safe mode increases the standby current by about 10mA, which results in lower

battery backup time (about 15%) in the event of power loss.

Set J1 to short pins 1-2 or short pins 2-3 as follows:

Trigger voltage outputs: A current-limited source of approximately 12 volts DC is available

at pin 3 of the terminal block, for external contacts, etc., that require a pullup voltage.

NOTE: Use color-coded wires for the power connections; it is recommended that the positive

connection be red and the negative connection be black.

Wiring at the Control Panel

1. Connect ground wire to the auxiliary power ground on the control panel.

2. Run the alarm wires to the transmitter location.

Wiring for ECP Communication with a Control Panel

Only certain control panels support ECP data communication. Check the Installation and

Setup Guide of your control panel to see if Long Range Radio is supported.

ECP data connections are the Data In and Data Out terminals that the keypads and other

peripheral devices (RF Receiver, VIP module, etc.) use for communication with the control

panel. To wire the radio for ECP communication, do the following:

1. Connect TB1-4 (Ground) of the 7720PLUS to the ground of the control panel.

2. Connect TB1-5 (ECP IN) of the 7720PLUS to “data out to consoles” connection on the

control panel.

3. Connect TB1-6 (ECP OUT) of the 7720PLUS to “data in from consoles” connection on the

control panel.

Determine the best antenna location for strong radio communication with the Master Station

network using the 7715DF Microfast Installation Tool. Mount the 7720PLUS to a horizontal

or vertical surface, depending on the antenna used. Be sure to allow access to the

programming port when mounting. The 7720PLUS is intended to be mounted to a horizontal

surface, preferably on a ceiling, or in an attic location on top of a joist when using the

supplied wire antenna. If using the 7720ANT antenna kit, the 7720PLUS can be mounted to

a vertical surface such as a wall or beam.

Powering Up

After all wiring is complete and the unit is mounted, plug the battery cable of the 7720PLUS

into the connector next to the terminal block, then apply AC power to the radio. The radio

will rapidly blink each LED consecutively for a total time of about 2.5 seconds. During this

time, the user can configure the radio to operate in zone mode (four zone inputs) or in ECP

mode, where alarm input is received from the control panel via the ECP interface. Refer to

the “Selecting a Mode” paragraph in Section 3.

Using a 7720P Programming Tool

The 7720P Programming Tool is powered by the 7720PLUS, and connects to the telephone

connector on the 7720PLUS PC Board.

NOTE: The 7720P Programming Tool is not functional when the radio is running in ECP

mode; it is functional only during power-up of an ECP radio.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some older 7720P Programming Tools (shipped prior to mid-1998)

will not function if the line voltage is too low. These can be modified using instructions

supplied on request, or they may be returned to ADEMCO for factory modification. All 7720P

Programming Tools currently shipping work without difficulty.

Each key of the 7720P Programming Tool has two possible functions; a normal function and

a SHIFT function. To perform a normal key function, simply press the desired key. To

perform a SHIFT key function, press the SHIFT key (the green SHIFT LED will light), then

Selecting a Mode

After connecting the 7720P cable, power up the 7720PLUS (plug in a fully charged battery in

the battery connector and apply power to the control panel). If the radio has already entered

normal operation in Zone Mode, pressing X (<SHIFT><9>) will reset the 7720PLUS to its

initial power up phase. If the radio has entered normal operation in ECP Mode, it must be

powered down completely before re-applying power (no other reset method is

available).Using the 7720P Programming Tool, enter the configuration set-up by pressing the

<ENTER> key while the LEDs blink rapidly in sequence. This causes the radio to display

the following prompt on the 7720P display:

ECP Radio[Y/N]

The radio will wait 10 seconds for a response. If the radio receives no response or something

other than a “Y” or an “N” (followed by the <ENTER> key), the radio will use the

configuration stored in EEPROM. The default configuration is Zone mode.

NOTE: If the configuration has changed, the EEPROM must be reprogrammed.

If the new configuration is ECP mode, the display on the 7720P will go blank. Press the

<ENTER> key again to get into programming mode, if desired (refer to the “ECP Mode

Programming” paragraph in this section). Please note that the ECP 7720PLUS sign-on

message (described in the “ECP Programming” paragraph) is displayed for 1 second before

the first programming prompt is displayed.

Some control panels support the programming of the 7720PLUS radio as part of the device

programming session (e.g, VISTA-128 Family). Refer to the Installation Instructions of the

Control Panel to see if it supports this feature.

If the new configuration is zone mode, the display on the 7720P will show the 7720PLUS

sign-on. Press the <ENTER> key again to get into programming mode, if desired (see below).

If the 7720PLUS has not been programmed, regardless of configuration, the LEDs will blink

in unison indefinitely.

Zone Mode Programming

After the LEDs blink rapidly in sequence (and the mode selection is Zone Mode), the

following is displayed:

7720PLUS x.xx

x.xx = current software revision level

While the LEDs are blinking consecutively (the initial power up period), enter programming

mode by pressing <ENTER> on the 7720P. Pressing X (<SHIFT><9>) will reset the

7720PLUS to its initial power up phase if it has already entered normal run-time mode.

Programming is accomplished by answering displayed questions. Most questions require

only a [Y]es or [N]o response, while others require a numerical response (ID numbers, etc.).

Press ENTER to accept each response and proceed to the next question. A “?” indicates an

invalid entry. The current value is displayed on the second line in parenthesis (). To accept

the current entry, simply press the ENTER key. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll

through the programming questions without changing any values.

When it powers up, the 7720PLUS reads its EEPROM to determine its pre-programmed

parameters. A CRC of the EEPROM locations is also read. If the computed CRC does not

match the one read from EEPROM or if the programming parameters are invalid, the 7720P

LCD displays “NO PROG” and the three LEDs will blink in unison. While the three LEDs

blink in unison, press ENTER to begin programming.

Pulse/Delay Zone Selection

By configuring a zone as a pulsed zone, it is possible to use the output of a panel bell/siren

driver to activate the radio directly when the signal from this driver is a pulsed output for

fire and a continuous output for Burglary. To implement a Fire/Burglary detection at the

radio, connect the driver output directly to two zones on the 7720PLUS. Program the Fire

zone as a pulsed zone and the Burglary Zone as a delayed Zone (this is to prevent this zone

from reporting an alarm when the pulsed signals are detected). The number of pulses and

the length of delay will be dependent on the particular control panel or siren driver being

used and is therefore a programmable feature.

NOTE: Zones programmed for pulse cannot be designated as open/close or Telco zones; an

invalid entry message will occur, since the pulse zone takes priority over open/close and Telco

programmed zones.

UL The control panel total delay shall not exceed 14 seconds in UL Listed applications if “yes”; 0.30

seconds if “no”.

Selecting a Location

For Non UL Installations an antenna location which has reliable communications with at

least one base station with an uplink signal strength reading of 3 or greater may be used.

NOTE: Place a check mark [4] in the “Single Site Supervision” box on the Subscriber

Contract.

For UL Grade “A” or Grade “B” Installations find an antenna location which has reliable

communication to at least two AlarmNet Base Stations with a minimum uplink signal

strength reading of 3.

After determining the type of installation required (UL, Non UL) find an antenna location

within the premises. Locations can be found by utilizing the test mode of the 7720PLUS

(refer to Section 5: Testing the 7720PLUS), or the 7715DF FAST Tool.

ANTENNA MOUNTING NOTES:

• Optimum RF performance can usually be found at the highest point within a building,

with the fewest number of walls between the radio and the outside of the premises.

• Avoid mounting the antenna near other electronic devices. The following table provides

minimum distances. Highest RF energy is in the direct, horizontal line of the antenna.

Therefore, vertical separation (moving electronic devices either higher or lower on wall)

provides a higher level of isolation from the radio.

Radio Transmission Test

The 7720PLUS is capable of sending a test message, which can be received by the central

station to confirm the radio’s communication link to the central station.

For AlarmNet users, the test message causes the master station network to send a “Field

Triggered Diagnostic Message” to the Central Station. This message provides network

information as well as signal strength and frequency characteristics of the transmitted

messages. Refer to the AlarmNet User Guide for detailed information concerning these

messages. The test message can be transmitted in any of three ways.

NOTE: Methods 2 and 3 are available in Zone Mode only. Check the control panel’s

Installation and Setup Guide to see if LRR Test Mode feature is supported.

1. The TEST INPUT of the 7720PLUS can be triggered by shorting the two pins of the test

connector together using a screwdriver, dime, etc. This will initiate a 90-second cycle

(total of 60 messages) of test message transmissions.

NOTE: Once this cycle has been initiated by a voltage trigger, it can be turned off, in Zone

Mode only, by using the “T” command. Otherwise, the messages will not stop until the end of

the cycle.

2. A 7720P Programming Tool can be used, if the radio is operating in Zone Mode. To begin

the cycle of test message transmissions, press shift-8 (“T” command). This is a toggle

function. To end the transmissions before the end of the cycle, enter the command again.

3. A computer terminal can be used, if connected to the programming connector of the

7720PLUS. To begin a cycle of test message transmissions, press “T.” This is a toggle

function. To end the transmissions before the end of the cycle, enter the command again.

System Test

Trigger an alarm by any convenient means and observe the LED indicators on the radio. The

yellow LED should be lit, followed by the green LED blinking every 1 to 3 seconds at first,

then slowing during the 6-minute cycle. This indicates that an alarm message has been

received at the radio (yellow), and the transmitter has been activated (green). The red LED

should not light.

If the radio is configured for Zone Mode and the zone is programmed for restore, restore the

circuit. The yellow LED should be lit, and the green LED should blink again, indicating

transmission of the restore message. The central station receiver should display

alarm/restore messages for each triggered alarm/restore performed.

If at any time the red LED lights, a radio fault has been detected. This could be caused by a

faulty antenna connection, or might be caused by low internal battery voltage or a failure in

the radio’s power circuits (refer to Table 1: LED Indications in Section 1).

7720PLUS Installation and Setup Guide

5-2

If the radio is in Zone Mode, the 7720PLUS can display diagnostic data (“S” command)

related to the status of these conditions. Refer to the “Status Display Interpretation for “S”

Command” paragraph in this section.

If the radio is in ECP Mode and is connected to one of ADEMCO’s low-end control panels

(VISTA-10SE, VISTA-20SE, VIA-30P), the status is displayed on the control panel’s remote

keypad in the lower right-hand corner. This display is in the form of a four-digit numeric

output (usually preceded by “Long Rnge Fail”). Refer to the “ECP Status Codes” paragraph

in this section. If the radio is connected to one of ADEMCO’s high-end control panels (VISTA-

128FB), the description of the fault is displayed in conjunction with a “CHECK 8xx” message

where “xx” is the ECP address of the 7720PLUS.

Replace the cover (if it was removed) and perform a control panel system test.

Status Display Interpretation for “S” Command

The status of the 7720PLUS can be viewed on either a 7720P Programming Tool or an

appropriate terminal when either device is connected to the serial port of the 7720PLUS

(available in Zone Mode only). The status display includes zone input status, test terminal

status, tamper status, battery condition, charging voltage status and radio fault status, the

2-line display takes the following form:

1234 TeTmBaAcFlt

5555 5 5 + + 0

1 2 34 The numbers 1-4 represent the 4 zone inputs, and follow ADEMCO

high-speed format codes:

power supply and antenna connections does not correct problem.

ECP Status Codes

When the 7720PLUS radio is set up in ECP Mode, it sends the status of its battery, the

incoming AC voltage, the tamper, and any RF failures to the control panel. When using one

of ADEMCO’s low-end control panels (VISTA-10SE, VISTA-20SE, VIA-30P), the status is

displayed on the control panel’s remote keypad in the form of a four-digit numeric usually

preceded by the label “Long Rnge Fail”. These codes will not clear from the remote keypad

until a code-off sequence is entered and the fault condition has cleared. The status codes are

broken out as follows:

Table 9. ECP Status Code Explanations

Code Explanation

0000 Control panel lost communication with the 7720PLUS radio

0400 7720PLUS Power On/Reset

3000 7720PLUS lost AC power input

0880 7720PLUS tamper detected (cover removed from radio)

0060 7720PLUS Battery is Low

NOTE: The following codes will never be combined; each is mutually exclusive

0001* 7720PLUS has internal radio fault and cannot transmit.

0005 7720PLUS Radio Fault (bad VSWR or low RF output). Check antenna,

connections, and cable

0006* 7720PLUS EEPROM and/or RAM is corrupt (internal CRC is bad)

0007 7720PLUS had not been programmed

* Codes 0001 and 0006 require factory service.

When using one of ADEMCO’s high-end control panels (VISTA-128FB), the description of the

fault is displayed in conjunction with a “CHECK 8xx” message where “xx” is the ECP

address of the 7720PLUS.

7720PLUS Installation and Setup Guide

Last Detected Fault “E” Command

The last detected radio fault and the last reported radio fault can be viewed by pressing “E”

on a 7720P Programming Tool or an appropriate terminal when either device is connected to

the serial port of the 7720PLUS (available in Zone Mode ONLY).

The message is a 2-line display where the top line identifies the last fault that the 7720PLUS

detected and the second line identifies the last fault that the 7720PLUS actually reported to

the monitoring network. The last detected fault represents a fault that occurred on at least

one transmission, but did not necessarily trip the fault relay. The last reported fault is a

fault that was present for a number of transmissions (typically at least 4 consecutive

transmissions) and which tripped the fault relay. The possible fault numbers are described in

the “S” command paragraph above. If the detected fault does not match the reported fault

value, and the transmission cycle has finished, it indicates that the fault was not present

long enough for the radio to report the condition.

These values are stored in EEPROM and are retained even when the 7720PLUS is powered

down. To erase the numbers from memory, press ESC (shift BS) as the next keystroke after

pressing “E”. The fault value is also erased automatically upon exiting program mode.

NOTE: Since the execution of this command requires access to the RJ11 connector, the

antenna and cover must be removed. By doing so, the radio will detect an RF fault as well as

a tamper. To prevent this fault from overwriting a previous fault, the radio does not write

the last reported fault to EEPROM if a tamper is detected.

SECTION 10

Limitations of the System

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Limitations of the System

While this 900 MHz Long Range Radio communications system is part of an advanced and

sophisticated security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire,

nor does it guarantee communication of burglary or fire warning signals to a central station.

Any alarm system, or any communications system, whether commercial or residential, is

subject to compromise, or failure to warn, for a variety of reasons. Examples of some of these

reasons are:

• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have technical sophistication

to bypass an alarm sensor, and then disconnect an alarm communicating radio

transmitter.

• Signals sent by 900 MHz radio transmitters may be blocked by metal, mountains, hills,

foliage and other natural and man-made obstructions before they are received by a

master receiving station or sent to a central station. Even a path previously verified as

acceptable may periodically change its characteristics.

• Long-range radio communication transmitters will not work without power. Radio

transmitters require a battery to work properly in the absence of AC power. A weak or

dead battery or improperly installed batteries may prevent these devices from

functioning properly if AC power is disrupted for any reason.

• Radio communication systems are subject to external interference, natural or man-made,

intentional or coincidental, that may keep a signal or group of signals from being

successfully received by a master receiving station or a central station. In addition, one-

way radio communication devices receive no acknowledgment from a master receiving

station that their signals are being successfully received. Signals transmitted may clash

with those transmitted from other systems. While statistical estimates predict successful

operation, if the guidelines in the system manuals are followed, the operation of this

system is still probabilistic in nature and may be subject to random signal failures.

• Radio communication devices may change their characteristics over time. Such

parameters as frequency, modulation and power should be properly monitored

periodically, with required adjustments made by qualified personnel.

• Qualified personnel must install radio communication devices. Improper installation or

selection of a transmitter’s location may cause intermittent or unreliable performance.

Any electronic or mechanical device can fail. The most common cause of an alarm system or a

radio communications system not functioning properly when an intrusion or fire occurs is

inadequate maintenance, maintenance that is intended to find such failures as soon as

possible. This alarm and communication system should be tested weekly to be sure all

sensors and transmitters are working properly.

Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm

system is not a substitute for adequate insurance. Homeowners, property owners, business

owners and renters should continue to insure their property and lives.
