Administrator’s Programming

To enter Administrator’s Programming: on a computer on the same net-work, launch a web browser and type “tl-150” in the URL entry line. You will be prompted for a user-name and password. The default administrative username is “admin” and the default password is “admin”. This password can be changed any time. The default homeowner username is “user” and the default password is “user”.
From the main page choose the “Config” hyperlink in the top right corner.
Enter the IP address of the DRL-IP where this module reports.
Enter the new Receiver Port number (if required).
Enter the Encryption Key. Enter up to 32 HEX characters, unused characters are zero padded.
Enter the customer’s account number.
Enter the test transmission period (Valid Entries: 0-99). The number you enter is the number of 15 minute increments the device will wait before sending a test transmission. A value of “0” will disable the test transmission. Enabling test transmissions also enables network supervision.
See NOTE 3.
Administrator password.
Reboot the module using the “Reboot Module” link at the bottom of page.

Reset of Admin Password

If the installer forgets the administrator password, it is possible to default the module’s administrator’s password. Defaulting the password will send a signal to the central station of a password change (SIA – JV40) .
This is to inform the central station of a possible “take-over” attempt. The installer must request the following URL to default the password: https://tl150/8328641.
Enabling test transmissions also enables network supervision. If the network connection is down at the time of a test transmission, a General System Supervisory Trouble will be triggered and the panel will go into trouble. The trouble will be restored on the next successful communication with the receiver. Setting this value to zero disables network supervision entirely.

LIMITED WARRANTY

Digital Security Controls warrants that for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase, the product shall be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and that in fulfilment of any breach of such warranty, Digital Security Controls shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective equipment upon return of the equipment to its repair depot. This warranty applies only to defects in parts and workmanship and not to damage incurred in shipping or handling, or damage due to causes beyond the control of Digital Security Controls such as lightning, excessive voltage, mechanical shock, water damage, or damage arising out of abuse, alteration or improper application of the equipment. The foregoing warranty shall apply only to the original buyer, and is and shall be in lieu of any and all other warranties, whether expressed or implied and of all other obligations or liabilities on the part of Digital Security Controls. Digital Security Controls neither assumes responsibility, nor authorizes any other person purporting to act on its behalf to modify or to change this warranty, nor to assume for it any other warranty or liability concerning this product.
In no event shall Digital Security Controls be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential damages, loss of anticipated profits, loss of time or any other losses incurred by the buyer in connection with the purchase, installation or operation or failure of this product. Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation. Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
