Screen Reference
Pick Lists (bottom of the form)
-Panel Group & Panel references (optional;
bottom of the form): This is where you
select a specific panel-group and panel in a
multi-panel system where the 'tree' is not
set to show items on a panel-by-panel
basis. For more information on this feature,
refer to "Other Desktop Choices".
- Custom Point Type (bottom of form):
This is where you select a custom
point-type to view or edit. This area shows a
reference number assigned by the system, and
the description, once defined;
Note: Similar to
physical items in a system, each custom point-type
pertains to an individual panel.
On This Form (Standard  )
- Name: A suitable name indicating the operation
or usage for this custom point type;
- Preprocess: Either the duration that the
point must REMAIN triggered before an
alarm will be audited, or the point type /
operation;
Door: The 'Door' selection is normally used with doors
that are monitored, but not electronically controlled for
personnel access. For access-controlled doors, a
dedicated 'Door Contact' input is provided on the door-
control module (which is set up through the Door
screen). As well, door inputs cannot be set for a 24-hr
monitoring, and cannot be bypassed (regardless of
whether "bypassable" is selected or not).
Extended: This pertains to garage door sensors, and
other applications where a longer delay time is
desired. With this setting, the area "Extended" delay
will apply, and the area can be armed while the input
is 'tripped'.
Keyswitch Arming/Disarming: With 'pre-process' set
to "Keyswitch...", the "Level" setting provides
selections for "Arm" and "Disarm". The chime
operation changes as well: If "Chime (
)", and the
area is set for "Stay on Fail to Exit", the area will be
armed to 'Stay' if no users exit after turning the switch
(not-Ok to Ok). Conversely, if the chime is not
selected, the "Stay on Fail to exit" setting will be
ignored (the area will fully arm to 'On'). Note: With an
arming keyswitch, disarming is typically done through
an LCD keypad.
Guard Tour: This pertains to guard-tour checkpoints
(stations). For this application:
+ The 'class' should be set as "supervisory";
+ The 'level' will typically be set as "24hr";
+ Any "Transmit" selections will be ignored (guard-tour
point activity is referenced locally during the
monitoring of a guard-tour).
WorkLate: This pertains to a button that can be
pressed (during the pre-arm cycle) to delay the
scheduled closing time for the area associated with
the input-point. To set the time extension for
WorkLate buttons in a specific area, refer to the "Work
Late Input Point" setting under "Areas and Related
Settings".
Notice: Outside of the 15 minute pre-arm cycle, a
worklate point acts as a standard burglary point. This
allows (for example) a motion sensor to function as a
worklate trigger during the pre-arm cycle, and as a
standard motion sensor during its monitored times.
Be careful to set the “Level” and “Transmit / Sonalert /
Siren” values as suitable for your specific application.
Command Point: This allows a button or sensor to
command a device associated with:
 Any specific
panel,  Any area or door number (ID) across all
panels, or  All panels/areas/doors of an account.
Tip: The actual command is selected when setting up
the specific sensor(s)/input-point(s).

Activity Monitor: This 'officially' detects activity in an
area. For details, refer to "
Activity Monitoring and
Auto-Arming " in the 'Area' configuration topic.
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
