How to set the AC fail time on the 7000/9000 series panels

 AC Fail Time default is 15

Selections: 1 - 90 seconds* (Blank and 0 are invalid)

* - In Panel versions 5.22 to 6.10, this entry is stored as minutes instead of seconds.

Parameter Description

Amount of time (in seconds) that AC power must be off before the panel responds to the AC failure. The response to restoral of AC power is delayed for the same amount of time. The panel always monitors AC.

IMPORTANT: Totally eliminate AC reporting, AC Tag Along and AC Fail/Res Report must be programmed NO.

IMPORTANT: 9000 Series panels with firmware version 6.2 or higher, AC Fail Time operates differently. If you enter an odd for the second digit, then the AC Fail Time is in minutes. If you enter an even number for the second digit, then the AC Fail Time is in seconds.

Entering 15 for AC Fail Time, will be interpreted by the panel as 15 minutes. Entering “14” for AC Fail Time will be interpreted as 14 seconds.
