INSTALLATION MANUAL
General Description
The DAS DL250 is a versatile 8 expandable to 16 zone security control. Its microcomputer design gives some of the most
versatile, yet easy to use features available for most security applications today. Some of the features of the DL250
include; Partitionable up to three separate systems, dual reporting, Partial Arm (for at home monitoring), 15 user codes,
internal log, domestic dialling, dynamic battery test, plus many more. Each of the 8 zones can be programmed to be one
of nine different types including 24 Hour, Handover, Day Zone, and secondary entry. The system can be used with LCD
or LED Code Pads, key switches, or radio remote arming. Each zone is individually annunciated and can be isolated from
the Code Pad if so enabled. See page 11 for a description of all zone types. Read the OPERATORS MANUAL before
you begin the installation for the best overall description of how the DL250 functions. After installation of the security
system, complete the information on page 1 of the operators manual and explain the system operation to all security

FEATURE DEFINITIONS
Smart Buss
The DL250 must be converted from the Standard Buss to a more advanced communication buss protocol called “Smart
Buss” when Partitioning and or Expansion devices are utilised. When the DL250 is set to Smart Buss, only Smart Buss
compatible code pads and accessories can be used. A parts list is available on the previous page.
Partitions
The DL250 can be partitioned into a maximum of three separate systems with distinct user codes per system. See page
25 for complete instructions.
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 the standard entry/exit delay zone.
Group Isolate
Zones can be programmed to isolate as a group when the [U] button is pressed during the exit delay. This feature is
enabled in Locations 167-174: Assigning Special Characteristics For Zones beginning on page 15 of this manual.
Partial Arm (Entry Guard)
This unique home level arming allows you to remain inside your home and only arm areas that are not occupied. For
example, Night Arming.
Chime
This lowest level of security can be enabled by zone (see page 16, Locations 175-182: Assigning Audible
Characteristics For Zones) to create a time programmable tone through the Code Pad sounder when the system is
disarmed and a zone is violated. If so programmed, this feature can be turned on and off by a one digit keypress
programmed in Location 213: Assigning The Chime Code on page 20 of this manual.
Auto Isolate Enable
When enabled in location 196, the DL250 can be armed with zones violated, lacking a green "READY" light on the Code
Pad. Under this condition, all zones that are not secure at the end of the exit delay will become isolated. All zones that
become secured before the end of the exit delay will become active in the system.
Dynamic Battery Test
When enabled in locations 218, the DL250 can be programmed to perform a dynamic battery test for a selected duration,
at a selected time.
Internal Event Log
Up to 256 events can be stored in memory along with the date and time of the event. These events can be viewed through
the LCD Code Pad or the Dasload Download Software Package.
Twin Trip Zones
A twin trip zone requires two trips within the time programmed in location 191 or a continuous trip for more than ten
seconds for an alarm activation. If a single trip on a twin trip zone is initiated, an alarm would only occur if any other zone
has been in alarm, still is in alarm or any other zone is tripped with in the delay time set in location 191.
Radio Remote Arming
The Radio Remote Arming feature for the DL250 will cause the siren to pulse for a single burst, when the DL250 is
disarmed. The speaker output will also pulse two bursts when the DL250 is armed.
Zone Tamper
The DL250 can monitor any one of its zone for a short or open circuit. If any one of these conditions occur the DL250 can
report these events as Zone Tamper. With zone tamper enabled, zones only require one pair of wires to monitor both
alarms and tamper.
Pager Format
The DL250 can report any alarm via the Pager Format to a compatible pager.

PROGRAMMING
The DL250 can be placed into the "Program" mode by use of the new FS4610 Smart Programmer, or the original FS4597
programmer, or for Code Pad programming, by utilising the FS4534 LCD Code Pad (the preferred method) or the FS4531
LED Code Pad. These methods are described below.
Using a Programmer
The FS4610 Smart Programmer has been designed to make programming of the DL250 simpler as well as more efficient
for users. The FS4610 programmer features up to 16 resident standard programs to allow for separate system
standardisation. Plug the optional model FS4610 programmer into the 4-pin male outlet marked "program" on the DL250
P.C. Board. We have also created a method that allows owners of the original FS4597 programmer to use this programmer
with the DL250. The FS4597 will program all locations of the DL250 but requires additional care for locations 400 and
above. When the 400 location is reached, the two right 7 segment numeric displays will begin to flash on and off and the
left side numeric display will change to "0". The flashing is a signal to add a 4 to the left side number to determine which
location you are now programming. For example, if you are in location 435, the left (100's column) will be displaying a "0",
the middle (10's column) will be flashing and displaying a "3", and the right (one's column) will be flashing and displaying
a "5". By adding a 4 to the "0" displayed in left column, it is determined that the location number is 435.
Using The LCD Code Pad
The most straightforward method of Code Pad programming is to utilise the FS4534 LCD Code Pad in the programming
mode. To access the programming mode enter [C] [0] [0], followed by the four digit "Go To Program" access code which
is factory default [9] [0] [5] [0] (this code can be reprogrammed), and follow the Code Pad prompts.
Using The LED Code Pad
The DL250 can also be programmed by the standard binary method of Code Pad programming described below.
However, with over 400 locations, this method will be difficult except for the most experienced programmer. When the
FS4531 LED Code Pad is used for programming, enter the factory default four digit "Go To Program" access code of [9]
[7] [1] [3]. NOTE: The DL250 must be disarmed to gain access to programming with this code. After entry of this code, the
DL250 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 yellow 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. Thus 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". If the data in location 000 is "6", the LEDs for
zone 2 (=2) and zone 3 (=4) would be added (2+4=6) indicating the data in that location to be "6". If no LED's are
illuminated, the location contains a "0". To advance from location 000 through 463, press the [#] key. To go to a specific
location, press 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 0 to 15 followed by [U] (U = data enter). Review the examples in figure 1 on the following
page.
Important Function Codes
[9]-[5]-[0]-[#] When in the program mode, this function code can be used to write original factory default codes into the
DL250.
[9]-[3]-[0]-[#] This function code is used to exit the programming mode after it was accessed via the Code Pad.
! ! ! IMPORTANT ! ! !
Before programming the DL250 for the first time, enter the "Go To Program Code" [9][7][1][3] from the Code Pad,
followed by the factory default function code [9][5][0][#]. The panel defaults will now match this installation manual
and you may begin programming the control panel. When using an optional plug-in programmer which
automatically enters the programming mode, the only entry necessary is [9][5][0][#] to load factory defaults.

LOCATIONS 000-003: PROGRAMMING THE MASTER ARM/DISARM CODE
Locations 000-003 contain the master arm/disarm code (user number 1). Location 000 contains the first digit of the code;
location 003 contains the fourth digit of the code. THE CODE MUST CONTAIN FOUR (4) DIGITS. The master code can
then be used in the RUN mode to enter arm/disarm codes 1 - 15. The factory default code is [1][2][3][4].
LOCATIONS 004-055: PROGRAMMING THE ARM/DISARM CODE FOR USERS 2 THROUGH 14
Locations 004-055 contain the arm/disarm codes for users 2 through 14. To program these codes, follow the instructions
in the paragraph above. To disable these codes, program a "15" (factory default) as the first digit of the code. These
codes can be changed in the RUN mode using the master code (refer to operator's manual).
LOCATIONS 056-059: PROGRAMMING THE ARM/DISARM CODE FOR USER 15 (DURESS CODE)
Locations 056-059 contain the arm/disarm code for user number 15 (Duress Code). To program this code, follow the
instructions in the paragraph above. This code can be used as a duress code if so programmed in locations 288 - 291.
Factory default for this code is "15", disabled.
LOCATION 060-063: GO TO PROGRAM CODE
Locations 060-063 contain the "Go To Program" access code. Location 060 contains the first digit of the code and location
063 contains the fourth digit of the code. THE CODE MUST CONTAIN FOUR (4) DIGITS. With the DL250 disarmed, the
"Go To Program" access code can be used to enter the program mode. To disable the "Go To Program" access code,
program a "15" in location 060. The factory default setting is [9][7][1][3]. NOTE: The first digit of this code should not match
the Quick-Arm digit. NOTE: If a "15" is programmed into location 60 to disable this code, programming can only be
accessed through the downloading software , a plug in programmer or using the program code on a LCD code pad.
LOCATIONS 064-079: PARTITION SELECT FOR CODES 1-15 AND PROGRAM CODE
PARTITIONED SYSTEMS:
If partitions are utilised, codes may be assigned to a specific partition by using locations 064-079. This is done by disabling
each individual code (code 1 is location 064, code 15 is location 079) for each of the four partitions that code should not
have access to. Codes are selected by adding the binary equivalents for each partition together and placing that number
in the proper location. Partition One = 1, Partition Two = 2, and Partition Three = 4. For example, if code 2 should only
be valid for Partition Three, program a "4" in location 065. If code 10 is valid for Partitions Two, and Three, a "6" would
be programmed in location 073. Factory default is "7", code valid for all partitions.

LOCATION 095: DIAL ATTEMPTS FOR PHONE #1
Location 095 is used to enter the number of dial attempts (1 to 15 attempts) the communicator will try for phone number
one before ending the notification process. Factory default is "6" and the communicator will make 2 attempts to the first
number, and then 2 attempts to the second number alternating until the “6" attempts in total are made. If no second number
is programmed all “6" attempts are made to the first number. If the factory default is modified in location 146, this dial
sequence can be altered, refer location 146.
LOCATION 096: DIAL ATTEMPTS FOR PHONE #2
Location 096 is used to enter the number of dial attempts (1 to 15 attempts) the communicator will try for phone number
two before ending the notification process. NOTE: Dial Attempts for Phone 2# will only be valid if SPLIT or DUAL
REPORTING is enabled in location 146.
LOCATIONS 097-112: PRIMARY PHONE NUMBER
Phone # 1 is programmed in successive locations beginning with location 097. Delays of four seconds can be programmed
at any point in the phone number by programming a "13" in the appropriate location. If tone dialling is desired, program
a "15" in the location where tone dialling should begin. If a "U" or "#" are required in your phone number then a "11" = "U"
and "12" = "#". If the entire number should be tone dialling, program a "15" in location 097. Factory default is "14" in each
location and the phone number is not enabled. When using split or dual reporting, phone #1 always takes priority over
phone #2. A "14" indicates the end of the phone number. Example: If phone number 02 is to be 7244211, and must be
touch tone dialling, phone number 02 would be programmed as
[15][U][#][0][U][#][2][U][#][7][U][#][2][U][#][4][U][#][4][U][#][2][U][#][1][U] [#][1][U] [#][14][U][#]. The "15" selects touch tone
dialling, and the "14" ends the phone number.
LOCATIONS 113-117: PRIMARY ACCOUNT CODE
The account code sent when phone #1 is dialled is programmed in locations 113-117. If the account code is three digits
long, use locations 113-114-115, and program a "0" in locations 116 and 117. If the account code is four digits long,
program a "0" in location 117. If a zero "0" is part of an account code, it should be programmed as a "10". Program a "0"
to indicate the end of the account code. To make this account code the account code for "Partition One", see location 146.
Example: Account number of 2090 would be entered as [2][U][#] [10][U][#] [9][U][#] [10][U][#] [0][U][#] (starting at location
113). Account code of 209 for low speed would be entered as [2][U][#] [10][U][#] [9][U][#] [0][U][#] (starting at location 113).

Location 118 contains the communicator format used to transmit to the receiver connected to the phone #1. Consult the
instructions for your central station receiver to determine which format is compatible. Select a format from the 14 listed
above. If you require a format other than those listed, review the override options described in locations 252-255, to build
the appropriate format. A "15" must be programmed in location 118 in addition to the entries into locations 252-255 in
order to create a special format. If this location contains a "0", the built-in communicator will be disabled, and the DL250
will function as a local only control. When using pager format for domestic dialling, program the primary account code to
"1717" and program a "1" in location 192 (all abort enable). Your telephone number will also require at least four (4) pauses
("13"s) added at the end of the phone number. Note The dial attempt counter must not be less than “4" attempts if the
second phone number is programmed.
LOCATIONS 119-134: SECONDARY PHONE NUMBER
Locations 119-134 contain phone #2. This number allows certain communicator reports to go to another number (split
reporting), or to cause the communicator to dial a second number if the primary number does not respond after the number
of attempts programmed into location 95 have been tried unsuccessfully, or for dual reporting. The same number of
attempts are made with the second phone number unless split or dual reporting is selected were the dial attempts in
location 96 are used. Tone dialling and delay instructions are the same as for the primary number. A "14" indicates the
end of the phone number.

12
LOCATIONS 135-139: SECONDARY ACCOUNT CODE
Locations 135-139 contain the account code for phone #2. The second account code can be programmed as per the
primary account code. This account code is reported when partition two is programmed or split or dual reporting is enabled.
If the account code is three digits long, use locations 135, 136, and 137. If a zero "0" is part of the account code it must
be programmed as a "10". Program a "0" to indicate the end of the account code. If these locations contain a "0", the
account code in locations 113-117 will be reported.
LOCATION 140: SECONDARY FORMAT
Location 140 contains the communicator format used to transmit to the receiver connected to phone #2. The second
format is used when split or dual reporting is required. Consult the instructions for your central station receiver to determine
which format is compatible. Select a format from the format chart. If you require a format other than those listed, review
the override options described in locations 252-255 to build the appropriate format. A "15" must be programmed in location
140 in addition to the entries into locations 252-255 in order to crate a special format. If this location contains a "0", the
format programmed into location 118 will be selected.
LOCATIONS 141-145: ACCOUNT CODE 3
Locations 141-145 are utilised to assign an account code for partition #3 if a unique code is desired. The third account
code can be programmed as per the primary account code . If these locations contain "0", the account code listed in
locations 113-117 will be used.
LOCATIONS 146: COMMUNICATOR DIALLING SEQUENCE OPTIONS
The number programmed into this location determines the sequence and method the communicator will utilise when
reporting an event code. Use the table below to build the appropriate number. Add the number(s) associated with the
desired features and program the sum in this location. Factory default is "3 programming the characteristics for data 1 and
data 2 (1 + 2 = "3")
DATA DESCRIPTION
"1" Alternates between phone number #1 and phone number #2 in increments of two (2)calls to each, until
the selected number of dial attempts has been made to each number.
"2" The communicator attempts the number of dial attempts programmed into the number of dial attempts
location to phone number #1 and if unsuccessful, it will delay 5 minutes and attempt the same number of
dial attempts programmed into number of dial attempts to phone number #2. (see locations 095 and 096
dial attempts to phone number 1 & 2)
"4" Force the communicator to tie the account code to the phone number. If this feature is not selected the
account code will correspond to the partition. Select for split or dual reporting.
"8" The communicator attempts the number of dial attempts programmed into the number of dial attempts
location to phone number #1 and if unsuccessful, tries the same number of dial attempts programmed into
number of dial attempts to phone number #2. (see locations 095 and 096 dial attempts to phone numbers
1 & 2)
"0" If a "0" is entered, the account code corresponds to the partition.
SPLIT REPORTING:
Split reporting is when one group of zone or system events report to a selected destination via the primary phone number,
primary account code and primary format. A second group of zone or system events report to a separate destination via
the second phone number, the second account code and the second format.
DUAL REPORTING:
Dual reporting is when all zone or system events report to a selected destination via the primary phone number, primary
account code and primary format. The same events report to a separate destination via the second phone number, the
second account code and the second format.
NOTE: For most installations, default data "3" is required. Program a "4" for split or dual reporting.

LOCATION 147: NUMBER OF RINGS TO ANSWER A DOWNLOAD CALL
Location 147 contains the number of rings a DL250 must detect before answering the telephone when initiating a download
session. If a number from "1" to "15" is entered in this location, the DL250 will answer after the number of rings entered
in this location times two (2) has been detected ("1" = two rings through "15" = thirty rings). If a "0" is programmed into
this location the DL250 will not answer the call and rings to answer is disabled. Default for this location is "0" disabled.
LOCATION 148: ANSWERING MACHINE DEFEAT
The number of rings (maximum 3) or less the control must see before it starts a 45 second defeat timer. To defeat an
answering machine, or fax two telephone calls must be made to the premises. On the first call, let the phone ring the
same number of times (or less) as the number programmed in this location (maximum 3). The control panel will detect
these rings and start a 45 second timer. If a call comes in during that 45 second time frame the control panel will answer
on the first ring. There must be at least five seconds delay between the first and second call to allow the DL250 to
determine that there are no more ring coming from the first call. To disable this feature program a "0" into this location.
Options for this location are "1" "2" or "3". (Default "0" disabled) Note: this feature must not be used when the control is
connected to a phone line which may experience call traffic such as described above, which may cause the control to
answer normal incoming calls .
LOCATION 149: TELEPHONE LINE MONITOR
Location 149 determines the action the DL250 will take when a phone line fault is detected. The options available are listed
in the table below. Program one or any combinations of these characteristics in location 149. Factory default is "0" and
the Phone line monitor is disabled. If Enable silent (Value = 1), is programmed then no code pad sounders or sirens are
activated but the auxiliary output option Category 3 and event 9 may be used. If Enable sirens (Value = 3) is
programmed, then the system siren will activate for the set siren time on a telephone line trouble condition. Note: A siren
can only be activated once per telephone line trouble condition, the telephone line trouble condition must restore be for
the siren can reactivate for a new telephone line trouble condition. If Enable sirens (Value = 5) is programmed, then the
system code pad sounder will activate until a valid code is entered, on a telephone line trouble condition. In the event of
a Phone line fault the "Ready LED" on the led code pad will flash to indicate Phone line fault. The LCD code pad will
display "PHONE TROUBLE".

LOCATION 150: TELEPHONE LINE MONITOR DELAY
Location 150 contains the number of 10 second increments in the Telephone line monitor delay before phone line fault
is activated. The Telephone line monitor delay is used to overcome unnecessary telephone line faults caused by the
momentary removal of the DL250 phone line socket. The Telephone line monitor delay can be programmed in 10 second
increments from 0 to 150 seconds ("0" = 0 seconds through "15" = 150 seconds). For example, programming a "2" in this
location will produce a Telephone line monitor delay of 20 seconds. Programming a "6" in this location will produce a
Telephone line monitor delay of 60 seconds. The phone line fault condition will not restore until the phone line is restored
for the same period of time as programmed in this location. Factory default is "1" for 10 seconds delay.
LOCATION 151: DIAL ATTEMPT COUNTER
The number programmed in location 151 (1 to 15) will represent the number of failed dial attempts made by the DL250
before the action programmed in location 149 is activated. Factory default is "0" and this feature is not enabled. This
feature can be used with a normally silent alarm activation that may require an audible action after a number of failed dial
attempts.

14
LOCATION 152: PRIMARY ENTRY TIME
Location 152 contains the number of 5 second increments in the entry delay. The entry delay can be programmed in 5
second increments from 5 to 75 seconds ("1" = 5 seconds through "15" = 75 seconds). For example, programming a "2"
in this location will produce an entry delay of 10 seconds. (Note: A "0" entry is treated as 0 seconds). Programming a "6"
in this location will produce a delay of 30 seconds. The initiation of the entry time will produce a steady code pad sounder
for the period of the entry delay. Factory default is 30 seconds.
LOCATION 153: PRIMARY EXIT TIME
Location 153 contains the number of 10 second increments in the exit delay. The exit delay can be programmed in 10
second increments from 10 to 150 seconds ("1" = 10 seconds through "15" = 150 seconds). For example, programming
a "2" in this location will produce an exit delay of 20 seconds. (Note: A "0" entry is treated as 0 seconds). Programming
a "6" in this location will produce an exit delay of 60 seconds. At the end of the exit delay a one (1) second beep will sound
at the code pad indicating the end of the primary exit delay. Factory default is 60 seconds.
LOCATION 154: SECONDARY ENTRY TIME
Location 154 contains the number of 10 second increments in the entry delay, when an entry delay is initiated by a zone
type 7. This entry delay can be programmed in 10 second increments for 10 to 150 seconds ("1" = 10 seconds through
"15" = 150 seconds. (Note: A "0" entry is treated as zero (0) seconds). Programming a "6" in this location will produce
an entry delay of 60 seconds. The initiation of the entry time will produce a steady code pad sounder for the period of the
entry delay. Factory default is 60 seconds.
LOCATION 155: SECONDARY EXIT TIME
Location 155 contains the number of 10 second increments after arming, before zone trips will be recognised on a zone
type 7. The exit delay can be programmed in 10 second increments from 10 to 150 seconds ("1" = 10 seconds through
"15" = 150 seconds). For example, programming a "2" in this location will produce an exit delay of 20 seconds. (Note:
A "0" entry is treated as zero (0) seconds). Programming a "6" in this location will produce an exit delay of 60 seconds.
At the end of the exit delay a one (1) second beep will sound at the code pad indicating the end of the secondary exit delay.
If the secondary exit delay time in this location is less than, or equal to that of the primary exit delay in location 153, then
the secondary exit delay time will follow the primary exit delay time. Factory default is 90 seconds. Note: To achieve a one
(1) second end of exit delay warning beep at the code pad, program this location with a value that is less than the primary
exit time by the warning time required. I.E. If a warning beep is required 10 seconds before the end of a 60 second primary
exit time, then program this location with a value of "5" for 50 seconds.
LOCATION 156: SIREN CUT-OFF TIME
Location 156 contains the number of 2 minute increments in the automatic cutoff time. The automatic cutoff time can be
programmed in 2 minute increments from 2 to 30 minutes ("1" = 2 minutes through "15" = 30 minutes). For example,
programming a "2" in this location will produce an automatic cutoff time of 4 minutes. (Note: A "0" entry is treated as the
factory default of 8 minutes). Programming a "5" in this location will produce an automatic cutoff time of 10 minutes.
NOTE: Please check your state regulations for the maximum siren time allowed by law, E.G. NSW EPA law currently
allows 10 minutes maximum.
LOCATION 157: TAMPER SOUNDER CONTROL
Location 157 controls the audible characteristic of the DL250 for any zone tamper, or box tamper activation. Zone tampers
can be individual enabled in locations 183-190. The box tamper is located at the top left side of the DL250 P.C.B, is a
normally closed circuit and must be open circuit for activation. To select one of the options available program one of these
characteristics listed in the table below in location 157. Factory default is "0" (silent characteristics). Note: the box tamper
circuit must be sealed if not used.

LOCATIONS 159-166: PROGRAMMING THE ZONE TYPES FOR ZONES 1-8
Locations 159 through 166 contain a number identifying the characteristics of zones 1 through 8. Location 159 corresponds
to zone 1 and location 166 corresponds to zone 8. These zones have been factory defaulted to the zone type shown in
the below chart. Other zone characteristics can be found in the table on the this page.
ZONE # DEFAULT CHARACTERISTICS
1 "3" = ENTRY/EXIT DELAY ZONE
2 "5" = HANDOVER ZONE
3 "5" = HANDOVER ZONE
4 - 8 "6" = INSTANT
DATA AVAILABLE ZONE TYPES
"1" DAY ZONE - When armed, a trip produces an instant alarm. When disarmed, a trip activates
the code pad sounder.
"2" 24 HOUR - A trip on a 24 Hour zone produces an instant alarm when armed or disarmed.
"3" ENTRY/EXIT - A trip will start entry delay. The lack of a trip during exit delay will enable the
Auto Home mode if so programmed.
"4" INTERIOR DELAY - A trip on Interior Delay zone will initiate an entry delay. It will be ignored
during exit delay and when disarmed . This zone type is used with the "Auto home/Instant"
mode.
"5" HANDOVER - Interior zone that follows delay zones. It can be bypassed before arming, or
automatically bypassed in the "Auto home /Instant" mode if so programmed.
"6" INSTANT - Produces an instant alarm if tripped when armed. Ignored when disarmed.
"7" SECONDARY DELAY - Like an Entry/Exit zone but has its own independent delay time.
"8" FIRE - A short on a FIRE zone will create an alarm condition when the DL250 is armed or
disarmed. An open will create a Trouble condition. The code pad zone LED is steady for a fire
condition and flashing for a trouble condition. After a fire activation the # key must be pressed
on the keypad to clear the condition and reset the fire zone.
"9" KEY SWITCH - A zone attached to a momentary key switch will cause the DL250 to arm or
disarm when the zone is momentarily shorted from a sealed condition I.E. a 3.3K resister must
be used to seal the zone for the feature to work. NOTE: Check the corresponding "Special
Characteristics” for the selected Zone, If the zone programmed to operate as a key switch type
also has Partial Arm selected, I.E. a "4" in “Special Characteristics” then the key switch will then
arm/disarm Partial Mode.

LOCATIONS 167-174: ASSIGNING SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR ZONES 1-8
Locations 167 - 174 are used to assign zone characteristics for zones 1 through 8. Location 167 is for zone 1 and location
174 is for zone 8. Each zone can have any or all of the following characteristics regardless of the zone type selected in
locations 159-166 excluding Fire zones, which cannot be Isolated. Factory default is "12" for each of these locations,
meaning that Zone Isolate Capability & Partial Arm is enabled, and the other characteristics are not enabled. When
Partial Arm is enabled, that zone is active in Partial mode. Remove this option from the zone(s) which are to be isolated
in Partial mode. Note: zone will not isolate in partial mode or group isolate if (8) Zone Isolate Capability is not enabled.

LOCATIONS 175-182: ASSIGNING AUDIBLE CHARACTERISTICS FOR Zones 1-8.
Locations 175-182 are used to assign the audible characteristics of zones 1 through 8. Location 175 is for zone 1 and
location 182 is for zone 8. Each zone can have one, or a combination of the following audible characteristics. To determine
the appropriate data for these locations, refer to the chart below and add the sum of the corresponding values to arrive
at the correct data for these locations. For all zones the factory default is "1". This means that all 8 zones will create a yelp
siren output when an alarm is created. NOTE: If a Fire zone type is selected in locations 159-166, standard fire zone
characteristics will override any selection made for a zone in this section I.E. a steady siren will be generated for a sort
circuit and a code pad sounder for an open circuit. Zones with a steady siren characteristic will over ride zones with a yelp
siren characteristic. If a chime zone is selected, then refer to locations 213 and 214 for more detail.

LOCATIONS 183-190: REPORTING / SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR Zones 1-8
Locations 183-190 are used to assign communicator characteristics to individual zones 1 through 8. Location 183 is for
zone 1, and location 190 is for zone 8. Each zone can have one, or a combination of these characteristics. Factory default
for all zones is (1 + 2 = "3"). This means that each zone has Restore Reporting (Value = 1), Isolate Reporting (Value
= 2) enabled. It should be noted that these locations are used to enable individual zone report capability by zone. A
reporting code must be programmed in the appropriate location to enable overall reporting capability of Restore reports
(location 332) Isolate reports (location 334). Double EOL tamper and Twin trip zone 1 through 8 are also enabled in these
locations. Program Double EOL (Value + 4) and Twin trip (Value = 8) to enable these features. Double EOL Tamper
reports is selected in location 338.

TWIN TRIP:
A twin trip zone requires two trips within the time programmed in location 191 or a continuous trip for more than ten
seconds for an alarm activation. If a single trip on a twin trip zone was initiated, an alarm would only occur if any other
zone has been in alarm, still is in alarm or any other zone is tripped with in the delay time set in location 191. The DL250
may have a combination of an audible alarm or code pad sounder after the first trip, but before the second trip, the twin
trip sounder control is programmed in location 158. Reporting can only occur after the full alarm activation. Default for
these locations will be "3" Restore + Isolate Reporting. Note: Entry/Exit zone types can NOT be set for twin trip zones.
LOCATION 191: TWIN TRIP TIME PERIOD
Location 191 contains the number of 1 minute increments in the Twin Trip Zone Time Period. The Twin Trip Zone Time
Period can be programmed in 1 minute increments from 1 to 15 minutes ("1" = 1 minute through "15" = 15 minutes). The
time programmed in this location will set the time period whereby two or more zones must trip before an alarm condition
will be registered or the one zone must trigger twice within this time period. Default is 5 minutes.
LOCATION 192: ALL ABORT ENABLE
Programming a "1" in location 192, will cause the communicator to abort its report at the end of an attempt in progress or
instantly if an attempt has not begun, if a valid code is entered. All 24 hour zones and code pad activated events will also
abort. This feature is recommended for pager dialling only. Default for this location is "0", all abort disabled.
LOCATION 193: RESERVED
LOCATION 194: RING DETECT ADJUST
Programming a (6 thru 12) in location 194 may assist, if difficulties are experienced with the DL250 answering the an
incoming call. This will make the ring detect window wider so that a grater number of exchange type and ring frequencies
can be catered for. Note: "6" is most sensitive and “12" is least sensitive. Caution must be taken when programming this
location that the DL250 dose not become to sensitive to incoming calls.

18
LOCATION 195: RESTORE / SIREN CONTROL
Location 195 is used to assign the restore/siren control characteristic for the DL250. If immediate restore (Value = 1) is
enabled the DL250 will report communicator event restores as they occur, if the restore communicator code in location
332 is selected and Report limited to once per arming (Value = 4) in this location is not enabled. If immediate restore
(Value = 1) is disabled the DL250 will report communicator event restores at the end of the siren time of the zone that
generated event. If Siren limited to once per arming (Value = 2) is enabled, the DL250 will only allow one siren activation
per zone, if this feature is disabled then each zone can activate unlimited siren attempts. If Report limited to once per
arming (Value = 4) is enabled, the DL250 will limit the communicator to reporting only one alarm event per zone, the
restore for that event (if enabled) will occur on a valid disarm. Note: Regardless to when restores have been programmed
to report the DL250 will only report restore if the alarmed condition physically restores. The DL250 can have one or a
combination of the characteristics listed in the restore/siren control table below. Factory default for the DL250 is "3" (1+2
= 3). This means that the DL250 has immediate restore (Value = 1) and siren limited to once per arming (Value = 2)
enabled. If restores where to report only at disarm and siren were to be limited to once per arming then a "6" (2+4=6)
would be programmed in this location.

LOCATION 196: AUTO-ISOLATE ENABLE
Location 196 is used to enable the Auto Isolate feature. If a "1" is programmed in this location, the DL250 will allow the
user to enter a valid code to arm, when one or more zones are not sealed. If these zones seal before the end of either
the primary or secondary exit delays, they will arm with the remainder of the zones when the exit delay time expires. All
zones which are not sealed at the end of the exit delay will be automatically isolated. If isolated reporting has been
enabled in location 334, all automatically isolated zones will be reported to the monitoring station. When partitioning is
enabled the above table would be referred to for the correct value required in this location. For example if a "7" (1+2+4=7)
was programmed in this location and partitions were selected. Then auto isolate for partition one (Value = 1), Auto isolate
for partition two (Value = 2) and Auto isolate for partition three (Value = 4) would be enabled. Default is an "0" which
disables this feature.

LOCATION 198: BELL TEST CONTROL
Location 198 is used to assign the BELL TEST Control characteristics for the DL250. There are four options in this
location, each of which will cause a siren output on a different system condition. You are able to program one of these
options or any combination of. If Set for (1) + (7) Bell test (Value = 1) is enabled, then the simultaneous pressing of keys
[1] + [7] on the code pad will case an audible alarm activation for the period of the siren time. This feature should be used
to test your system sirens and/or strobes, an entry of a valid code will switch off this feature. A 500 ms siren output will
be generated when the following feature are enabled; Activate on arming (Value = 2) (whenever a valid code is entered
to arm the DL250 or a partition of), Activate on exit delay- expiration (Value = 4) (activates at the end of the primary exit
delay), Activate at closing kissoff (Value = 8) (activates upon a communication of a closing report).

LOCATION 199: RESERVED
LOCATION 200: ISOLATED ZONE BEEP ENABLE
If a "1" is programmed in location 200, the Code Pad sounder will create a pulsed output if a valid code is utilised to arm
the DL250 when one or more zones are isolated. The code pad sounder can be silenced by re-entering a valid used code
or waiting until the end of the primary exit time. If a "0" is programmed in this location, the control can be armed with one
or more zones isolated with no Code Pad sounder output. Factory default is "1" and Code Pad sounder will sound when
arming occurs with a zone isolated.
LOCATION 201: AC OFF BEEP ENABLED
If a "1" is programmed in location 201 the Code Pad buzzer will create a pulsed output if a valid code is used to arm or
disarm the DL250 with the AC power removed. The code pad sounder can be silenced by re-entering a valid used code
or waiting until the end of the primary exit time. If a "0" is programmed in this location, the control can be armed with the
AC power removed with no Code Pad sounder output. Factory default is "1" and the Code Pad sounder will sound if the
control is armed with no AC power.
LOCATION 202: PARTIAL ARM SECURITY FEATURE
If a "1" is programmed in location 202, a valid user code must be entered to disarm the control from the Partial Arm mode.
Factory default is "0", Partial Arm mode can be disarmed with the one digit code programmed in location 215.
LOCATION 203: FIRST TO OPEN LAST TO CLOSE ENABLE
If a "1" is programmed in location 203 a closing report will only be reported when all partitions have closed and an opening
report will be reported only when the first partition has been opened . The opening and closing communicator codes must
have enabled in the appropriate locations if opening/closing reports are to be reported. Note: If a common area is enabled
in location 246 the common area will always be the last area to arm. Therefore the closing report will be generated with
user 28 and the primary account code to indicate a common area closing. Factory default is "0" and partitions will report
opening and closing individually.

20
LOCATION 204: SILENT ENTRY ENABLE
Programming a "1" in location 204 will disable the pre-alarm during entry delays. The silent entry time applies to all
entry/exit and Partial Arm zones. Factory default for this location is "0", making the entry delay pre-alarm audible.
LOCATION 205: PARTITION SIREN INHIBIT / CONTACT I.D GROUP DIGIT REPORTING
Factory default is "0" this feature is disabled, meaning a valid code entered from a Code Pad in any partition will silence
the siren regardless of what partition caused the alarm. If a "1" is programmed, only the Code Pad set for the partition
which the alarm was activated or an LCD code pad set for master mode can silence the siren. Programming a "2" in this
location will cause the DL250 to report the partition group information when reporting in Contact I.D. (When using the
Contact I.D group information, only one account code is required to be programmed for the individual reportion of partition
information). A "3" will enable partition siren inhibit and partition group information to be reported.
LOCATION 207: RADIO REMOTE ARMING
Location 207 enables the Radio Remote arming feature for the DL250. If a "1" is programmed in this location, the siren,
the 12 volt siren and the strobe outputs will pulse for a single 50 ms burst, when the DL250 is disarmed. The speaker
output will also pulse two, 50 ms bursts when the DL250 is armed. This output will not activate in the partial arming or
disarming. Factory default is a "0" and the Radio Remote Arming feature is disabled.
LOCATION 210: AUTO HOME ENABLE
Location 210 is used to enable the unique Auto Home feature. This feature can not be utilised when the Partial Arm
feature is enabled and must be left at its default of "0". If a "1" is programmed into this location, it will cause the DL250
to automatically enter the Auto Home mode and isolate handover zones (Zone Type 5). If a fault is not detected on an
entry/exit zone during the exit delay, I.E. entry/exit zone will be instant.

Programming a "2" into this location will cause the DL250 to automatically enter the Auto Home mode and isolate handover
zones if a fault is not detected on an entry/exit zone during the exit delay, but will not change the status of the entry/exit
zone, I.E. entry/exit zone will still be delayed.
If a "4" was to be added to the value in this location, then pressing the [U] key when the system is armed will cause the
partial light to toggle. When the partial light is on, the entry/exit zones are instant; when off, the entry/exit zones are
delayed. This option can be used in conjunction with options 1 and 2 of this feature only.
LOCATION 211: SWINGER SHUTDOWN COUNT
Location 211 is used to enable the burglary zone swinger shutdown. The number programmed in this location will
determine the number of trips the DL250 will allow before isolating all burglary zones (1-16) which have tripped during the
arming cycle. The isolated zones will not report trips to a base station, and the local siren or bell will not sound for these
zones. A zone trip will not be added to the number count until the zone has tripped more than once. For this feature to
be valid, sirens and or the communicator must be set to unlimited in location 195. Factory default is "0" disabled.
LOCATION 212: QUICK ARM DIGIT
The DL250 can be programmed to Quick Arm with one digit by programming a digit (1-9) in location 212. This number
cannot be the first digit of the Go To Program code or the Chime enable digit. If enabled the Quick Arm digit will arm the
DL250. When reporting Closing, the Quick Arm digit will report user "13". Factory default is "0", no Quick Arm.
LOCATION 213: CHIME ENABLE DIGIT
Location 213 is used to program the Chime mode digit. The Chime digit can be any digit between 1 and 9. Factory default
is "1" and this feature is enabled. If you do not wish to enable the Chime feature at this installation, program a "15" in this
location. NOTE: The appropriate zones must be enabled for Chime mode in the Audible Characteristics Locations 175-
182. The Chime digit must not be the same as the Quick Arm digit or the Partial Arm digit.

21
LOCATION 214: CHIME TIME
Location 214 is used to program the Chime activation time. The number programmed in this location represents the
amount of time that the Chime sounder will remain activated. This duration time is selectable in 1 second increments from
1 to 14 seconds. For example, programming a "5" in this location will cause the Chime sound to last for 5 seconds (1 x
"5" = 5 seconds). Programming an "0" will cause the sounder to follow the condition. Programming a "15" will latch the
sounder until a valid code is entered. Programming selections for this location are the numbers "0" through "15". NOTE:
Zones that will activate the Chime Sounder are enabled in locations 175-182.
LOCATION 215: PARTIAL ARM DIGIT
Location 215 is used to program the Partial mode digit. This digit can be any digit between 1 and 9. Factory default is "2"
and this feature is enabled. NOTE: The first digit of the code must not match the Quick-Arm digit, or the Chime enable
digit. Location 210 must contain a "0" for Partial Arm to work.
LOCATION 216: PARTIAL ARM TIME
Location 216 contains the number of the 10 second increments in the Partial Arm entry delay time. The delay time can
be programmed in 10 second increments from 10 to 150 seconds ("1" = 10 seconds through "15" = 150 seconds). For
example, programming a 4 in this location will create a delay time of 40 seconds. Factory default is "2" (20 seconds).
An "0" equals zero seconds, or instant.
LOCATION 217: POWERUP DELAY
The number programmed in location 217 represents the number of 10 second increments the DL250 will delay before
accepting faulted zones. Factory default is "0", feature disabled. If a 6 is selected, the delay will be 60 seconds. This
delay period would also be initiated after a watchdog circuit reset condition or when exiting from the program mode.
LOCATION 218: DYNAMIC BATTERY TEST CONTROL
Location 218 is used to assign the Dynamic Battery Test Control for the DL250, which can be programmed for one of or
a combination of four options. If a "1" is programmed in this location the battery voltage will be tested every 6 seconds
for 50 ms for a missing or totally discharged battery, (This option does not perform a dynamic battery test). If a "2" is
programmed in this location, the battery will be dynamically tested at arming for the time programmed in location 219. If
a "4" is programmed in this location the DL250 will inhibit arming with a low or lost battery. Factory default is "0" and
Dynamic Battery Test will be performed at disarming for the period programmed in location 219. Note: Dynamic Battery
Test can only occur once every 24 hour period, the beginning and end of this period is “00:00" hours. If location 219
contains a “0" then no Dynamic Battery Test will be performed.

The number programmed in location 219 will determine the number of minutes the DL250 will go into the dynamic battery
test mode during each 24 hour period. This test removes the AC power input and causes the control to function with the
system battery, thus verifying that the battery is capable of performing as designed during an actual power failure. This
location is programmed in 1 minute increments from 1 to 15 minutes ("1" = 1 minute through "15" = 15 minutes). For
example, if a "5" was programmed in this location the Dynamic Battery Test will occur for 5 minutes if enabled in location
218. Factory default is "0" and this feature is disabled.

LOCATIONS 220-235: PROGRAMMING THE AUXILIARY OUTPUT OPTIONS
Locations 220 through 235 control the output options for the four auxiliary outputs. Each of the four outputs have four
individual programming locations that will be referred to in this section as DATA 1, DATA 2, DATA 3, and DATA 4. There
are 60 events or conditions that can be programmed to activate these four auxiliary outputs. The following descriptions
of these data locations will help you to understand how to program each of these locations. Refer to the worksheet for a
full list of individual locations.
DATA 1 (Partition)- The number programmed in the Data 1 location is used to direct the control as to which partition(s)
will be the source to initiate the trigger output on each of the four auxiliary outputs. When partitioning is not being used,
program a "0" in this location (factory default = "0"). When partitions are being used, programming selections are as
follows: "0" for all Partitions, "1" for Partition ONE, "2" for Partition TWO, and "3" for Partition THREE. Programming
selections for this location are "0" through "3".
DATA 2 (Duration)- The number programmed in the Data 2 location represents the amount of time that a trigger output
will remain activated. This duration time is selectable in 2 second increments, from 2 to 28 seconds. For example,
programming a "5" in the data 2 location will create a voltage trigger that would last for 10 seconds (2 x "5" = 10 seconds).
Programming a "0" will cause the output to follow the condition. Programming a "15" will latch the trigger output and a valid
user code must be entered to reset this condition. Programming selections for this location are the numbers "0" through
"15". NOTE: If you want to change the increments from seconds to minutes, follow the programming instructions for
location 245 to do so, and the duration time will be selectable from 2 to 28 minutes.
DATA 3 (Category)- The number programmed in the Data 3 location will determine the category from which you will select
an activation event. Refer to the following event table to select which category number to program in this location.
Programming selections for this location are "0" through "15".
DATA 4 (Event)- The number programmed in the Data 4 location will determine the actual event in which you wish
to have the trigger activate upon. Refer to the event table to select which event number to program in this location.
Programming selections for this location are "0" through "15".

LOCATION 236-239: AUXILIARY OUTPUT OPENING WINDOW
To enable the auxiliary output to activate on a pre-determined time a 24 hour (military) opening time must be programmed
into locations 236-239. For example, to enter a opening time of 8:15am (08:15) program a "0" into location 236, an "8"
in location 237, a "1" in location 238 and a "5" in location 239. Also see aux output option - category 3 event 7 (open time
aux open time).

24
LOCATION 240-243: AUXILIARY OUTPUT CLOSING WINDOW
To enable the auxiliary output to activate on a pre-determined time a 24 hour (military) closing time must be programmed
into locations 240-243. For example, to enter a closing time of 6:30pm (18:30) program a "1" into location 240, an "8"
in location 241, a "3" in location 242 and a "0" in location 243. Also see aux output option - category 3 event 7 (open time
aux open time)
LOCATION 244: AUXILIARY OUTPUT INVERSION
The auxiliary outputs of the DL250 are normally POSITIVE (+) going NEGATIVE (-). They can be changed to a normally
NEGATIVE (-) going POSITIVE (+) by programming the appropriate number in this location. Auxiliary output 1 has a
value of "1", Auxiliary output 2 has a value of "2", Auxiliary output 3 has a value of "4", and Auxiliary output 4 has a value
of "8". The values for the outputs that you wish to change to NEGATIVE going POSITIVE must be added together and
the total programmed in this location. For example, if you wished to make outputs 2 (=2) and 3 (=4) NEGATIVE going
POSITIVE, you would program "6" (2+4=6) in this location. The output for pin 1 is automatically tied to the on board form
A relay (Terminal locations 20 & 21), and pin 2 is tied to the form C relay (Terminal location 22, 23 & 24). You should
take this into consideration when planning auxiliary output operation. If you need a relay output on pins 3 or 4 you must
add a relay that can be tripped with the voltage and current available at these pins. NOTE: THE PINS ARE CURRENT
LIMITED TO 250 MICRO AMPS POSITIVE AND 20 mA NEGATIVE.

PROGRAMMING FOR PARTITIONS
Locations 246, 247 and 248 are used to program and control the DL250 partition feature. The number of zones in
partitions 1 and 2, can be programmed in locations 247 and 248 with the remaining zones automatically assigned to the
next numerical partition, which would be 3 if both locations are programmed. If only the first location 247 has a number
programmed in it, all remaining zones will automatically go to partition 2. You can program any number of zones per
partition up to a maximum of 15. All zones must be in numerical sequence. For example, if you choose to have five
zones in partition 1 and 2 zones in partition 2, you would program a 5 in location 247 and zones 1-5 would be assigned
to partition 1, while zones 6 through 8 would be assigned to partition 2. You cannot assign zones out of sequence such
as placing zones 1-3-5-7 in partition 1 and 2-4-6-8 in partition two. Factory default is no partitions are enabled.
LOCATION 246: COMMON AREA ENABLE
If a "1" is programmed into location 246, partition 1 will become a common area for all selected partitions. When enabled,
partition 1 will automatically disarm when any other partition is disarmed, and will automatically arm when all partitions
have been armed. Care should be taken to allow sufficient entry delay time for partition 1 to allow the user to reach his
designated partition Code Pad and enter a code. Exit delay time is the combination of the delay for the last partition to
arm and the delay entered for partition 1. Factory default is '0" and this feature is disabled. In the factory default mode
the common area will not send open/close reports. To enable open/close reports for the common area, program a "3"
in this location. If “First To Open / Last TO close” is enabled in location 203 then open/close reports for the
common area must be enabled for closing reports to be reported. The Common area closing code is user code 28.
LOCATION 247: NUMBER OF ZONES IN PARTITION 1
Factory default is "0", and the control is not partitioned. Thus all 16 zones assigned to the one group. NOTE: When
no partitions are enabled, all features or characteristics associated with partitions are contained within one group. If only
two partitions are required then do not program location 248. Any leftover zones will automatically flow over to the next
partition.
LOCATION 248: NUMBER OF ZONES IN PARTITION 2
Factory default is "0", and Partition 2 is not enabled. If three partitions are required then any leftover zones after
programming location 248 will automatically flow over to the third partition.
LOCATION 249-251: RESERVED

COMMUNICATOR CODES
Each of the following communication codes contain four (4) locations referred to as Data 1, Data 2, Data 3 and Data 4.
The first three locations are used for either enabling or disabling and or determining the reporting channel or event number
for the selected communication code. Data 4 is used to determine which phone number(s) is used when Dual or Split
reporting is enabled and or whether that communication event is recorded into the internal event log. Refer to the Data
1, 2, 3, and 4 listing below for more detail. Only Ademco High Speed and Contact I.D. are covered in this manual, for
detail on other formats please refer to the nearest sales branch.
DATA 1 - When Contact I.D is enabled, Data 1 is used to enable and or select the communicator code for the selected
communicator event. Program in Data 1 the required digit from appendix 1 (options 1 thru 15) to select the required
Contact I.D event report code. Not all communicator codes are programmable in this manner, and only require a “1" in Data
1 to enable the communicator event report. Refer to the individual communicator code location for further detail. When
Ademco High Speed is programmed, Data 1 is used to enable the communicator code for that event. Program a “1" to
enable the communicator event and a “0" to disable the communicator event. This process is valid for all the communicator
event other than Zones 1 thru 16 communicator event which are automatically enabled. The event report code is
predefined when Ademco High Speed is selected and can only be enabled or disabled. However, Zones 1 thru 16 can
have their Channel numbers changed in Data 3. Refer to the individual communicator code location for further detail.
DATA 2 - When Contact I.D is enabled, Data 2 is used to program the 10's digit of the point number. When Ademco High
Speed is programmed, Data 2 is not used.
DATA 3 - When Contact I.D is enabled, Data 3 is used to program the 1's digit of the point number. When Ademco High
Speed is programmed, Data 2 is used to program the channel number for Zones 1 thru 16. Note: only channel numbers
1 thru 8 are valid for Ademco High speed.
DATA 4 - Is used to select phone number (1 = “1"), phone number (2 = “2") , and the (internal log = “4") or any combination
of the three (3). When Dual or Split reporting is enabled in location 146 then the telephone number programmed in Data
4 for the selected communicator event is used to report that event. If Dual or Split reporting is not enabled then program
Data 4 to follow telephone number 1 for normal communicator event reporting. I.E. Report via telephone number 1 and
if unsuccessful try telephone number 2. If no Telephone is selected for a given communicator event that communicator
event will not be reported. If (internal log = “4") is enabled then each time that communicator event is reported it is also
recorded into the internal event log for future reference via a LCD Code pad in the smart buss mode or via the download
software. Note: The event log can only record communicator events when those communicator event s are enabled to
report. If the event log is required without communicator event reporting, enable the internal log by programming a “4"
in Data 4, and enable the communicator event in Data 1.
LOCATION 256-259: PROGRAMMING THE COMMUNICATOR CODE FOR ZONE 1
Locations 256-259 are used to control the communicator code for zone 1. Zone 1 is automatically enabled and when
contact I.D is selected the default report is event "130 - Burglary" with point “01" when in alarm. Refer to appendix 1 if a
different event type is required. When using Ademco High Speed, Zone 1 is defaulted to report, a "1555 5555 7" when
in alarm. Ademco High Speed is a predefined format and only the Channel number can be programmed in Data 3. The
defaults are “3:0:1:5" with telephone number 1 and the event log enabled.
LOCATION 260-263: PROGRAMMING THE COMMUNICATOR CODE FOR ZONE 2

To determine when the first Auto Test will be reported, locations 452-453 “Number of elapsed hours since last autotest
“ must be set. The minutes setting for this Auto Test report can be programmed in locations 382-383. Factory default is
“2"-”4". Note: The Autotest communicator code must be enabled in locations 308-311 for Autotest to report.
LOCATION 380-383: TIME TO PERFORM AUTOTEST
In these locations you program the time that you want the autotest to report. The time must be entered in a 24 hour
(military) format. For example, if the autotest time will be 23:50 the location 380 contains a '2", location 381 contains a
"3" location 382 contains a "5" and location 383 contains a "0". If an autotest time of midnight is required then set these
locations to 00:00. The minutes locations (382-383) will be used to determine the minutes setting when Hourly Auto Test
is used in locations 378-379. Factory default is "02:00". Note: The Autotest communicator code must be enabled in
locations 308-311 for Autotest to report.
LOCATION 384: NUMBER OF EXPANSION DEVICES
Location 384 is programmed with the number of expansion devices that may be connected to the DL250. A total of seven
(7) expansion devices can be connected to the DL250, therefore, to connect 2 expansion device to the DL250 a “2" must
be programmed into this location. When expansion devises are used, the DL250 will automatically switch to the Smart
Buss mode. This means the standard 8 Zone LED code pad cannot be used with this system, and only Smart Buss
compatible code pads can be used. If a “8" is programmed in this location, the DL250 will switch to the Smart Buss mode
without requiring to see expansion devices. This feature is used when the features of the Smart buss are required ( such
as viewing the event log and change the panel clock via the LCD code pad and other Smart Buss related features) without
the programming of partitions or expansion devices. Note: expansion devices include; Wireless zone expander, 8 way
relay board, 16 way aux board, X10 interface, Printer interface, Telephone control interface (Release date: late 95), and
System event interface. Factory default is "0" no devices enabled.
LOCATION 385: EXPANDER TROUBLE COMMUNICATOR CODE
Location 385 is used to program reporting Trouble communicator code for expander devices (1 thru 7), when Contact I.D
and Ademco High Speed is selected. The Expander Trouble communicator code can be reported when an expansion
device dose not respond to the DL250 after a short period of time. When contact I.D is selected, program a one (1) in this
location to enable this report, an event "333 - Expander Trouble" will be reported. When using Ademco High Speed,
program a one (1) in Data 1 to enable this report, a "????5555 5555 9" Auto Test is reported. Default for Expander Trouble
code is “0" disabled.
LOCATION 386: EXPANDER TROUBLE PHONE SELECTOR
If a phone number other than phone #1 is desired, I.E. for dual or split reporting. A binary number must be programmed
into this location. This is derived by adding a "1" for phone #1, a "2" for phone #2 and a "4" for the internal log. Factory
default is "1" which causes Expander Trouble to report on phone #1 and internal log if the communicator event is enabled.
LOCATION 387: EXPANDER TROUBLE RESTORE COMMUNICATOR CODE
The 250 has the ability to report to the base station when the an expander device has been restored. Once the expander
device has been restored to the 250, there will be a short delay time before the restore code will be sent to the base
station. Program a "1" into this location to enable expander device restore reports. Program a "0" into this location to
disable restore reports. Default for expander device code is “0" disabled.

403 is for zone 16. Each zone can have any or all of the following characteristics regardless of the zone type selected in
locations 388-395 excluding Fire zones, which cannot be Isolated. Factory default is "12" for each of these locations,
meaning that Zone Isolate Capability & Partial Arm is enabled, and the other characteristics are not enabled. When Partial
Arm is enabled, that zone is active in Partial mode. Remove this option from the zone(s) which are to be isolated in Partial
mode. Note: zone will not isolate in partial mode or group isolate if (8) Zone Isolate Capability is not enabled. Other special
characteristics can be found in the table on page 16.
LOCATIONS 404-411: ASSIGNING AUDIBLE CHARACTERISTICS FOR Zones 9-16.
Locations 404-411 are used to assign the audible characteristics of zones 9 through 16. Location 404 is for zone 9 and

determine the appropriate data for these locations, refer to the chart below and add the sum of the corresponding values
to arrive at the correct data for these locations. For all zones the factory default is "1". This means that zones 9-16 will
create a yelp siren output when an alarm is created. NOTE: If a Fire zone type is selected in locations 388-395, standard
fire zone characteristics will override any selection made for a zone in this section I.E. a steady siren will be generated for
a short circuit and a code pad sounder for an open circuit. Zones with a steady siren characteristic will over ride zones with
a yelp siren characteristic. If a chime zone is selected, then refer to locations 213 and 214 for more detail. Other audible
characteristics can be found in the table on page 16.
LOCATIONS 412-419: REPORTING / SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR Zones 9-16

zone 9, and location 419 is for zone 16. Each zone can have one, or a combination of these characteristics. Factory
default for all zones is (1 + 2 = "3"). This means that each zone has Restore Reporting (Value = 1), Isolate Reporting
(Value = 2) enabled. It should be noted that these locations are used to enable individual zone report capability by zone.
A reporting code must be programmed in the appropriate location to enable overall reporting capability of Restore reports
(location 332) Isolate reports (location 334). Twin trip zone 9 through 16 are also enabled in these locations. Program
Twin trip (Value = 8) to enable this feature. Double EOL Tamper is not available on zones 9 to 16.

the limited amount of programming locations available on the DL250, a set of Shadow Locations are employed to transfer
information from the DL250 to the wireless zone expander / receiver during programming. These shadow locations are
actual locations on the DL250, but are not used by the DL250. Instead, the DL250 wireless zone expander / receiver will
read these locations whenever a new set of programming parameter is ready to be set in the receiver. The DL250 wireless
zone expander / receiver manual must be referred to when these locations are used to program the wireless zone
expander / receiver.
THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS ARE ACCESSIBLE ONLY THROUGH DOWNLOADING
LOCATIONS 000-007: CONTROL PANEL ACCESS CODE

APPENDIX 1
This document lists the event reporting codes for Contact ID reporting in the DL-250. The event codes are programmed
by placing a number from 0-15 in the "100's" location of the communicator code for the event being reported. The 10's and
1's digit programmed are sent as the zone identifier. The following event codes will be sent for the digit programmed:
PROGRAMMED 100's DIGIT ADEMCO EVENT CODE DEFINITION
0 122 Silent panic
1 110 Fire
2 120 Panic
3 130 Burglary

APPENDIX 3
Certain older and unusual receivers have formats other than those listed on page 11. Locations 250 thru 255 provide various
methods to duplicate these unusual formats. Included in these overrides is the ability to call and report to a personal pager.
The timer adjustment options allowed in locations 250 and 255 sometimes can compensate for substandard, or older
telephone exchanges. It is suggested that you call DAS technical assistance the first time you attempt to use these override
options.
LOCATION 250 - Inter-round time of a two round parity transmission. The inter-round time will be the number contained
in location 250 times 800 mSec. If location 250 is "0", the time is determined by the individual formats in locations 118 and
140.
LOCATION 251 - Inter-digit time of a pulse format. If the number programmed in location 251 is something other than "0",
The inter-digit time will be that number divided by the PPS. For example, if the number in location 251 is "10", and the format
is a 20PPS format, the inter-digit time will be 10/20 of 0.5 seconds. For locations 252 thru 255, you must add the listed
values for the desired characteristics and program the sum in the appropriate location. If the value is not added for locations
252 and 253, the converse mode will be enabled for those locations. If the value of 1 is not added to location 252, the
transmitted frequency will be 1900 Hz. If the value of 2 is not added to location 253, the communicator will not transmit hex
digits. If neither of values 4 or 8 are added to location 253, the communicator will send messages at 40 PPS.
LOCATION 252 - The number programmed in this location will determine the selected default as desired.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
1Set for 1800 Hz pulse transmit frequency
2Set for 2300 Hz handshake frequency
4Set for single round checksum frequency
8Set for 2 digit event code
LOCATION 253 - The number programmed in this location will determine the selected default as desired.
VALUE DESCRIPTION
