Veritas R8 Communicator pins

[DanEdge]

Hi,

 

I’ve got a Veritas R8 Panel that I have tapped in to a couple of the communicator outputs to identify through a home automation system whether the panel is armed or whether the alarm has been triggered. 

 

Is there a way I can identify if the panel has been  part set vs full set through any of the communicator outputs ?

I doubt a basic panel like the veritas can but there maybe a programmable output. On the better panels you can

It’s the R8+ I have

 

Sadly the engineer code isn’t known and it’s been changed from the default. I’m reluctant to reset the panel in case the engineer code has been locked.. but I’ve been able to use the communicator outputs for the basics of what I need... 

 

What does the line monitor output provide ?
