Appendix A.1. Event Function or Condition Codes

When the Client driver receives an event from the panel, it stores the event’s function or condition code in the Secutron_Type=function Map Descriptor’s Data Array at the device number’s offset,

Example:

Device=3 on Circuit=1 goes into alarm – the Panel reports an event with function code A (Decimal 65) The Map Descriptor Secutron_Type=device, Secutron_Circuit=1 will set a bit and store the event function code A (Decimal 65) at offset 3 in the Map Descriptors’ Data Array.

The Secutron_Type=device Map Descriptors will set a bit if any of the events listed below occur on that circuit or zone. The bit will be cleared if the panel reports the event as cleared.

The full list of event function codes are:
