Standard 
- LCD Name: A shorter version of the name to be
displayed at LCD keypads. This is assigned
automatically, and can also be changed if
desired (max. 12 chars., plain text).
Command Points: For input points set as "Point Type:
Custom Type: Command Point", the LCD name will
be replaced with point-command data, and will not be
editable.
- Module: This is "Panel" (a system panel) or the
module/POD associated with the specific input
point number.
-------------------------
- Range: This is the total range of input point
numbers associated with the specific
module/POD (as defined by the software when
each module is set up).
Tip: The number in brackets, such as "(1)", pertains
to the location of the physical input-point connection
on the specific module.
- Point Type: The type of sensor and/or the type
of monitoring to be used with this point (E/E
door, PIR, etc.), and to identify the input points
that are on the perimeter of an area. The
selections include many pre-defined types, plus
‘custom types 80-99’ that can be set up
manually. Tip: Pause the mouse cursor over a
point-type in the list to view its associated
characteristics.
To set up a garage/extended-delay input, or other
custom type of sensor, refer to "Input Points--Custom
Point Types".
EE Door: This pertains to entry/exit doors that are
monitored by the system, but not electronically
controlled for personnel access. To set up an access-
controlled door (and its dedicated inputs), refer to
"Doors, Readers, and Related Settings".
FAP Timing: False alarm prevention inputs are
ignored unless triggered continuously for 10 seconds,
or if any (same/other) FAP sensor is tripped within 20
minutes. Note: If the 2
nd sensor is not FAP, this will
trigger an alarm on its own (at any time).
Battery Fail, Mains Fail: these inputs are design to
support power supply units, which are not fully
integrated - not monitored by the xL system, but have
a "battery/mains fail" outputs. The ouptuts can be
connected to the inputs in order to monitor the state of
the power supply. Preprocess Delay of these points is
taken from the corresponding pseudo points. AC
Failure and Battery trouble outputs follow these inputs.
Note: The XL Panel firmware ≥ 4.58g is required.
Similar to physical items in a system, custom point-
types pertain to an individual panel.
- Circuit Type: The type of circuit/wiring used
with the input point / sensor;
Director V4.4: Input points associated with newer-
style modules use custom input circuits. (Related
links follow).

Custom Circuit-Types for Input Points
Fire Panels with Removable Terminal Blocks: Form C
-- Dual EOL wiring/supervision is required by ULC
(Canada), and recommended for all installations. The
actual wiring must also match the selection here.
- Event Instruction: This allows assigning
instruction text to appear in the
comment/resolution screen when an operator is
acknowledging an alarm from this sensor (input
point);
Note: To be available here, instructions must be
defined first:

Instructions Associated with Specific Event Messages:
An instruction can also be associated with specific
types of event messages (although the instruction
selected here will take precedence--where applicable).

Area
- Area: The area that this point is associated with
(for doors adjoining two areas, see the next
item);
- Buffer Area (EE Door points): Where a door
adjoins two areas, select the second area here.
The system will apply appropriate entry/exit
delays whenever only one of the two areas is
fully armed (ON).
