• Authority by area and 16‑character name for each
user

• 14 custom authority levels control user’s authority to
change, add, or delete passcodes; to disarm or
bypass points; and to start system tests

Area Configurations

Area programming offers a wide selection of different
system configurations. Each area is assigned an
account number to define annunciation, control, and
reporting functions. Multiple areas can be linked to a
shared area which is automatically controlled (hallway
or lobby). Area arming can be conditional on other
areas (master or associate). Any area can be
configured for perimeter and interior arming, not
requiring a separate area for this function.

Custom Functions

For added convenience, Custom Functions can be
programmed to eliminate keystrokes for users allowing
the installer to program an easy command for a
complicate function. For example, a custom function
can be written to bypass a group of points and arm
the system, allowing the user to perform this function
with one easy command. These Custom Functions can
be activated from a keypad, or automatically as a
scheduled event (SKED), providing further flexibility
and ease of use.

Passcode Security

For high security applications, GV4 can be configured
for several different passcode options.

• Two-Man Rule - Requires two people with two unique
passcodes to be present at the time of opening.

• Early Ambush - Allows users to verify that the facility
is safe by requiring two passcode entries at the same
keypad, sending a duress event if the user does not
enter the passcode a second time after inspecting the
premises.

Easy Exit Control

The D7212GV4 Control Panel changes from one armed
state to another armed state without disarming. For
example, if you change the state from Perimeter Arm
to Master Arm, the control panel complies and reports
the change. Easy Exit Control reduces the number of
keystrokes, simplifying system operation.

Programmable Passcode‑controlled Menu List

The system prompts users to enter a passcode prior to
viewing the keypad menu. The keypad display shows
the user the menu options allowed according to the
user’s authority level. Passcode-controlled menus
provide users only with the options and information
pertinent to them, simplifying system operation.

Flexible Control

The system provides the flexibility to select added
convenience or high security. For example, you can
restrict passcode arming and disarming to a keypad's
immediate local area, even if the user has access to
other areas. This is particularly useful for high security
areas, where a user may have access to the area, but

would prefer to only disarm the area individually rather
than with the rest of the system. Another option is to
program the system to disarm all areas the user can
access from any keypad.

Invisible Walk Test

A menu item allows the user to test invisible 24‑hour
points within the scope of the keypad without sending
a report to the central station.

System Users

The system supports up to 99 users, each can have a
passcode, and a wireless keyfob (NEW). User
passcodes contain three to six digits. Passcodes can
be assigned to one of 14 customized authority levels in
each area and can be restricted to operate only during
certain times.

Communication Formats

The D7212GV4 Control Panel prioritizes and sends
reports in Contact ID or Modem IIIa2 communications
formats to four route groups. Each group has a
programmable primary and backup destination.
The D7212GV4 provides flexible communications for
most central stations with reporting capabilities such
as:

• Individual point numbers

• Opening or closing reports by user and area number

• Remote programming attempts

• Diagnostic reports

IP Communication

The D7212GV4 uses the B420 Ethernet
Communication Module (NEW), DX4020 Ethernet
Communicator, and/or the ITS‑DX4020‑G Cellular
Communicator to communicate with the Conettix
D6600 and D6100i Communications Receiver/
Gateways. Using Conettix IP communication offers a
secure path that includes anti-replay/anti-substitution
features and provides enhanced security with
encryption. The B420, DX4020 and ITS‑DX4020‑G can
all be used for remote programming.
GV4 is the first Security Control panel to support DNS
(Domain Name System) for both remote programming
and central station communication. DNS provides ease
of use, eliminating the need to use static IP addresses
as your reporting destination, and accommodates a
simple solution for central station disaster recovery.
IP Setup is available via the installer keypad menus
and the remote programming software, eliminating the
need to use complicated internet programming tools
such as ARP and Telnet (NEW).

Communication Paths

D7212GV4 Control Panels accommodate up to four
separate destinations for primary, alternate, and
backup receivers for automatic test reports.
When resetting alarms or arming or disarming a
system, the user is identified by name and number.

Firmware Updates (NEW)

Remote firmware updates using the RPS Firmware
Update wizard through the IP connection (B420
Ethernet Communication Module) as well as an on-site
flash update key, provides for easy feature
enhancements without replacing ROM chips.

A wide variety of input options

Each point:

• Accommodates normally‑open (NO) and
normally‑closed (NC) devices with end‑of‑line (EOL)
resistor supervision.

• Is programmable for fire, fire supervisory, or intrusion
application.

• Can be hard-wired, addressable, or wireless.

Security and Fire Detection

The D7212GV4 Control Panel provides eight on‑board
points, and up to 32 additional off‑board points. You
can program individual points to monitor all types of
burglar alarms, fire alarms, and supervision devices.

Wireless Interface (New)

The B820 SDI2 Inovonics Interface Module connects
an Inovonics EN4200 Serial Receiver to the control
panel SDI2 bus, allowing this UL Listed (NEW)
wireless system to be programmed locally via the
panel keypad, as well as remotely through RPS.

Event Log

The event log stores up to 1,000 local and transmitted
events. The event log includes time, date, event, area,
point, user number, and transmission status (NEW).
View the event log from a keypad or use RPS to
remotely retrieve event information. RPS operators
can retrieve events periodically using one call, rather
than receiving several calls each day. When the event
log reaches a programmed threshold of stored events,
it can send an optional report to a receiver.

Scheduled Events (SKEDs)

The internal clock and calendar start individually
scheduled events (SKEDs). SKEDs perform functions
such as arm or disarm, relay control, or point
bypassing. The D7212GV4 Control Panel offers:

• 40 scheduled events with up to 25 different functions

• Eight opening windows and eight closing windows

• Eight user windows

• Day-of-week, date-of-month, or holiday only schedules

• Four holiday schedules of 366 days each (leap year)

Fire Test

When a user activates Fire Test Mode, the control
panel suppresses all reports to the central station. The
keypad and annunciator show all testing data. An
automatic sensor reset feature saves time; you do not
need to reset the sensors manually. At the end of test,
the keypad shows the number of untested points.

Programming, Diagnostics and Controls

Installers can program locally or remotely through RPS
as well as basic keypad programming. A programmable
system passcode prevents unauthorized remote
programming.

Two Data Buses (NEW)

GV4 provides 2 data buses which support a wide array
of components. The SDI bus supports keypads access
and communications modules and also allows
connection of existing components in a retrofit
application. The SDI2 bus (NEW) supports new input
and output devices, as well as a new wireless interface
module, and an Ethernet communicator. SDI2 allows
these devices to be mounted up to 1000 ft (305 m)
from the control panel, providing installation
convenience and flexibility.
