Custom Input Point Types
In addition to the extensive list of pre-defined
point types, custom input point types can be
set up to tailor input-point characteristics to
meet your specific needs. Once defined, these
are referred to as Point Types 80-99.
Custom point types allow setting up:
 Garage/extended-delay sensors;  Vault/safe inputs;
 Command Points;  Activity-monitoring inputs; -- plus
special functions including:
 Guard tour" checkpoints
(stations);  WorkLate" buttons;  Area arm/disarm
keyswitch;  Battery Fail;  Mains Fail.
As with doors, points, etc., custom point-types pertain
to an individual panel, and must be set up for each
panel requiring the selected input-monitoring
characteristics.
