        check-in signals

5 = BR (button type) – sends only fault and low battery signals; does not send restores or

         check-in signals 

- RF type transmitters must remain within range of the receiver, otherwise a

           supervision failure signal will occur.

- UR and BR type transmitters may be carried off premises (out of range without

              causing a supervision failure.

- Zones 2-25 should be assigned Input Type 3 or 4. Zones 26-41 should be

               assigned Input Type 5 only.
