14. Event Log
The Console will log system events in its memory they occur. The log can be retrieved by the RA4200 software. Each event is tagged with the date and time that the event was recorded. The log contains the most recent 100 Console events.
Three standard reporting groups are supported:
Group 1 logging always occurs; all events related to alarms are logged:
•Sensor alarms (emergency, fi re, CO)
•Temperature alarms
•HELP button alarms
•
•Alarm reset/cancel
•Central Station reports, attempts, retries and failures
•All button presses
Group 2 logging is optional; when enabled, mode changes, activity monitoring, and reminder message expiration events are logged:
•Console mode changes (off, home, away, night)
•Activity sensor activations
•Inactivity alarm window expiration
•Reminder message timeout expiration
Group 3 logging is optional; when enabled, supervisory trouble and remote access events are logged:
•Remote access (RA4200) sessions
•Console supervisory events (AC power, low battery, phone trouble)
•Sensor supervisory events (supervision, low battery)
✓NOTE: Extended event logging options for Group 2 and Group 3 events are selectable on the REPORTING OPTIONS tab.
