Restoral Method (94)
Restoral Method refers to the communication of Restoral Events to a Central Station. It has no
effect on the actual input circuit restoral itself.
• Typical Restoral Method - ‘0’ entry programs the panel to transmit each input circuit restoral,
as it occurs, to the Central Station. In Slave Mode, this means that as soon as an input restores,
the communicator will immediately transmit the Restoral Event to the Central Station. In
Stand-alone Mode, the restoral of inputs programmed as Autoresettable Supervisory will also
cause the communicator to transmit a Restoral Event immediately. All other input types in
Stand-alone Mode are latching and their restoral will not communicate a Restoral Event until
the Reset Switch is pressed.
• Conditional Restoral Method #1 - ‘1’ entry programs the panel to transmit each input circuit
restoral, as it occurs, to the Central Station. In Slave Mode, this means that as soon as an input
restores, the communicator will immediately transmit the Restoral Event to the Central Station.
In Stand-alone Mode, the restoral of inputs programmed as Autoresettable Supervisory will
also cause the communicator to transmit a Restoral Event immediately. All other input types
in Stand-alone Mode are latching and the communication of their Restoral Events are
dependent upon an after-reset condition.
The input circuit must be physically clear of an input short upon completion of the reset period.
If, and only if, the input circuit is normal (clear of an input short) after the reset period will the
communicator transmit a Restoral Event to the Central Station. If the input circuit remains
active after the reset period, no transmission will take place.
• Conditional Restoral Method #2 - ‘2’ entry programs the panel to transmit each input circuit
restoral if, and only if, all input circuits are normal (clear of an input short). In Slave Mode,
this means that as soon as all input circuits are restored, the communicator will transmit the
Restoral Event(s) to the Central Station. In Stand-alone Mode, the restoral of inputs
programmed as either Autoresettable Supervisory will cause the communicator to transmit a
Restoral Event if, and only if, all input circuits are normal

. All other input types in Stand-
alone Mode are latching and the communication of their Restoral Events are dependent upon
an after-reset condition. If, and only if, all input circuits are normal (clear of an input short)
after the reset period will the communicator transmit a Restoral Event(s) to the Central Station.
If any input circuit remains active after the reset period, no transmission will take place, even if
other input circuits are truly restored.
1. Latching input circuits will never restore in Stand-alone Mode until the Reset Switch is
pressed. If both an Autoresettable input circuit and a Latching input circuit are activated
and subsequently cleared, only the Autoresettable input circuit will restore, but no
transmission will occur to the Central Station since there is still an input circuit active (the
Latching input circuit).
