The Second Edition UL® 1981 Standard requires the ability to report the number of accounts that are programmed to transmit signals to each Receiver.
The Receiver Groups Form is used to define any number of Receiver Group Names, and then assign the Receiver IDs (and the Line Card Numbers within those Receivers) as the members of each Receiver Group.
Data entry in Subscriber Panels establishes which Accounts belong to which Receiver Groups (by entering the correct Receiver and Line card information for each CSID).
So, the Receiver and Line data entered in Subscriber Panels identifies those Subscribers attached to each Line Card and Receiver within each Receiver Group.
Then use the Receiver Distribution Report to report the number of Subscriber Panels (CSIDs) reporting to each Receiver (and each Line Card within each Receiver) in each Receiver Group
The Receiver Distribution Report also lists each Receiver Group and identifies how many, and which, Accounts are reporting to each Receiver/Line combination based on data entered in this Subscriber Panels section of the Monitoring information form.
For tracking Accounts monitored for other Alarm Dealers, the Receiver Distribution Report may also be used to list (and count) how many CSIDs are on-line for each Alarm Dealer by assigning Dealer's Accounts to specific Receiver/Line combinations when they are put on-line, and defining all of the Dealer's Receiver/Line combinations as a Receiver Group.
Note: Receiver/Line Card Combinations can be assigned to more than one Receiver Group so that you could report the number of UL® Accounts on-line in one Receiver Group, and also report to the Alarm Dealer as to how many Accounts they have on-line within that other Receiver Group.
It is important to remember that, if you manually added the TOTAL Number of Accounts that are listed, that total would be incorrect, because in this case, some Subscribers would be included in more than one Receiver Group.
To view the Receiver Distribution Report, on the Main Menu Select Reports and Choose the Central Station sub-menu, then Click Receiver Distribution.
Deleted Accounts are not included in this report.
