Caddx Ranger 8600E

General Description

The Caddx Ranger 8600E is a versatile 6-zone up/downloadable security control with a built-in digital communicator. Its microcomputer design offers versatile, easy-to-use features for most security applications. Each of the six zones can be programmed to one of nine different types, including 24-hour, Interior Follower, and Day zone. Each zone is individually annunciated and can be bypassed from the keypad. Refer to page 11 for a description of all zone types. It is recommended to read the operator's manual before installation for a complete understanding of the Ranger 8600E's functions.

Standard Parts List

* Underwriters Laboratories has not tested the software.

Feature Definitions

ALARM HISTORY

Five seconds after pressing the [0] key, the keypad will annunciate “Freeze Frame" alarm history. The zone LEDs will indicate which zone(s) caused the last alarm, regardless of the number of times the Ranger 8600E has been armed or disarmed since that alarm. The annunciation will continue for 5 seconds. Alarm History is erased when the Ranger 8600E is put into the program mode. A burglary zone that has been bypassed due to "Swinger Shutdown" will alternate between continuous and blinking.

AUTOMATIC ARMING

The Ranger 8600E can be programmed to Automatically Arm at a predesignated time of day, if it has not already been armed. See location 202, page 24.

AUTOMATIC BYPASS / INSTANT ARMING

When enabled, the control panel can automatically bypass interior follower zones if an exit is not detected during the delay time, and delayed zones can be made instant. See location 131 on page 16 of this manual for the different combinations of this feature.

BUILT IN SIREN DRIVER

The Ranger 8600E has a built-in 112db siren driver. When desired, this built-in driver can be easily converted to a 1 amp voltage output through programming. See location 132, page 16.

CHIME

If programmed, this feature can be turned on and off by entering the first digit of the Master code. When the system is disarmed, the opening of selected zones will create a one-second tone through the keypad sounder. This can be enabled by zone in locations 186-193.

DUAL/SPLIT REPORTING

The Ranger 8600E can be programmed for dual and/or split reporting.

DYNAMIC BATTERY TEST

When enabled in location 203, the 8600E can be programmed to perform a dynamic battery test for a selected duration, at 6:00 AM.

ENTRY-GUARD

This low-level arming mode is designed to reduce false alarms. When armed, opening "Entry Guard zones" initiates the keypad sounder and starts a delay (see locations 244-251 & 255) before creating an alarm. This encourages system owners to use their system more frequently when premises are occupied.

FIRE ALARM VERIFICATION

When enabled in location 143, the Ranger 8600E can verify a Fire alarm by requiring more than one trip on a smoke detector before creating an alarm.

FORCE ARMING

When enabled in location 197, the Ranger 8600E can be armed with zones violated. Under this condition, all unsecured zones at the end of the exit delay will become bypassed. Secured zones will become active.

GROUP BYPASS

Zones can be programmed to bypass as a group when the [*] button is pressed during the exit delay. This feature is enabled in Locations 244-251.

INTERNAL EVENT LOG

Up to 80 events can be stored in memory with date and time, viewable through downloading.

KEYSWITCH ARMING

Keyswitch arming/disarming can be accomplished using the remote arming input on the PC board and auxiliary outputs, without using a hardwire zone.

QUICK ARM FEATURE

The Ranger 8600E has a one-button "Quick Arm" code. The "Quick Arm" digit is programmed in location 139.

Additional Features

SECONDARY EXIT DELAY

Used for garage doors, this zone type provides a second entry/exit delay independent of the standard delay.

TELEPHONE LINE MONITOR

The Ranger 8600E monitors telephone line voltage and current for faults. See locations 194 & 195, page 23.

Comments About the 8600E

• Auxiliary outputs can be programmed for momentary or to follow the siren for Fire, Panic, and Burglary events. Programming "2" in location 132 activates auxiliary outputs for these events. Programming "0" in location 132 causes Burglary and Panic outputs to activate with the yelping siren, and Fire output with the steady siren.
• Location 142 allows bell tests at arming ("2"), exit delay expiration ("4"), or closing kissoff ("8").
• The 8600E supports downloading custom information to 9050 LCD keypads.
• A "Fire Alarm Verification" feature can be enabled by programming "2" in location 143.
• The AC power loss delay feature is programmable in 2-minute increments from 0-14 minutes, also applying to AC power restore.
• An 80-event log stores all events, viewable via download software.
• Keyswitch arming is supported via the PC board remote arming input. Armed and Ready LEDs are available through auxiliary outputs.
• Instant zones are delayed during exit delay time, changeable by programming "2" in location 197.
• The entry delay pre-alarm no longer overrides the pulsing keypad sounder.
• PCB remote arming pins can be converted to a remote keypad panic zone (see page 17, Location 141).
• A Supervised 24-hour Silent zone type has been added.

Terminal Drawing & Special Notes

The terminal drawing illustrates the main control panel's connection points. It includes terminal blocks for Zones 1-6, keypad connections (CLK, DATA, COM, POS, NEG), siren/bell output, smoke detector power, auxiliary power, AC input, and telephone connections (T1, T, R, R1). Notes specify that all zones require End-of-Line (E.O.L.) resistors, detail keypad wiring and maximum run lengths, and describe connections for smoke detectors and power outputs. Warnings are provided regarding telephone line disconnection during servicing and proper grounding for lightning protection. Compatible smoke detector models and EOL resistor part numbers are also listed.

Terminal Description

FUSE DESCRIPTION

How to Program the Ranger 8600E

The Ranger 8600E can enter "Program" mode via two methods:

1. Enter the 4-digit "Go To Program" access code (default: [9][7][1][3]) while the system is disarmed.
2. Connect the optional Caddx Model 8950 programmer to the "Program" outlet on the PC Board.

When using the keypad for programming, the system enters "Program" mode, and yellow LEDs indicate data in location 000 using a binary system (Zone 1 LED = 1, Zone 2 LED = 2, Zone 3 LED = 4, Zone 4 LED = 8). Summing illuminated LEDs determines the data value (e.g., Zone 1 + Zone 4 = 1+8=9).

Advance through locations by pressing [#]. Go to a specific location by entering the location number followed by [#]. Change data by entering a number (0-15) followed by [*].

Important Function Codes

• [9]-[1]-[0]-[#]: Write original factory default codes.
• [9]-[3]-[0]-[#]: Exit Program Mode (via keypad).
• [2]-[3]-[0]-[#]: Exit Program Mode (via 9050 LCD keypad only).
• Unplug Model 8950 Programmer to exit programming.
