What are the dialer delay settings for the DSC PowerSeries Neo?

Dialer delay settings

For UL/ULC listed installations or CP-01, the entry delay and dialer delay time together cannot exceed 45 seconds. 

  • Default dialer delay is 30 seconds  
  • Minimum is 0 seconds
  • Maximum is 255 seconds

Panic alarm forwarding

Note: These are panel programming-specific and cannot be changed.

On the DSC PowerSeries Neo, the following alarms send immediately with no dialer delay:

  • Duress code
  • Silent panic
  • Fire
  • Medical
  • Police panic
  • Keyfob emergency

If the Holdup Verification Timer is turned on, there may be a delay before sending panic alarms. This is not the same as a dialer delay but it does appear similarly in the Event History as awaiting Panel's programmed delay. The following is an excerpt from the DSC PowerSeries Neo manual:
