purpose of maintaining a secure radio connection while the alarm system is violated, the power-
up reset message will be sent to the central station from the new radio, thereby alerting the central
station to the possibility of such a condition.
If the reasons for receiving this message cannot be immediately explained with positive
confirmation as to one of the above conditions, it is possible the radio is being tampered with and
it is recommended that it be treated as an alarm and action be taken in accordance with the central
station’s normal procedures.
If this message is received reference the central station (i.e. Account # 0000) this indicates that
the central station 685 receiver has been reset. This action would also reset the central station
radio transceiver, which would generate this message.
Redundant
supervision
warning
This message indicates a potential problem with the local AlarmNet-A network. The AlarmNet-A
networks are designed with overlapping coverage, and often two nodes are designated as being
responsible for the supervision of a subscriber radio. This message indicates that an AlarmNet-A
network node is down (not working), and that node is responsible for supervising at least one
subscriber belonging to the central station as either a primary or secondary node. Note that this
message does not indicate which node is down, or which subscribers are affected. It simply
indicates that there may be a potential problem with the supervision of one or more subscribers.
Keep in mind that many accounts are supervised by two network nodes, and alarms are repeated
multiple times and handled by any node that hears them. If the central station is equipped with an
AlarmNet Console, you may use the (N) Network Status function to determine which of the
network’s node (Master Stations) are down. Once the problem node has been identified, you may
determine which subscribers are affected by the problem by reviewing the Central Station Report
that is sent to the central station each month.
Repeating alarm
suppressed
The primary node responsible for this radio detects five separate but identical alarm reports within
an 8-minute time period. The first five alarms are reported as the network normally would deliver
them. However, instead of the sixth alarm, the “Repeating Alarm” message will be sent. Future
messages that are identical to the suppressed alarm will not be sent for the next 25 minutes. It is
impotant to note that unless the radio has been programmed to generate restore signals, the
network will be unable to produce the “Repeated alarm” message, and in this case all repeated
alarms would be reported to the central station.

Status Message Another name for A-Type diagnostic. See “A-Type diagnostic”
Supervision
interval
A time period during which the network expects to receive a signal or poll response from a radio.
The network will then check with other network nodes to determine if the radio was heard
elsewhere. If it is determined that the radio has indeed failed to respond during this interval, it
will be considered in Communication Failure, and a Comm Fail message will be sent to the
central station.
Swinger A frequent and generally unwarranted repetition of the same alarm condition. (Note, ‘swingers’
are rarely the fault of the radio itself and are almost always related to the sensors or wiring of the
alarm system.

suppression
A method to reduce unnecessary alarm reports. See “Repeated Alarm Message”
