What is LRR?

LRR refers to a long-range radio system that sends messages to an external network.


LRR provides several advantages:

  • The User ID of the person who triggered the message is provided.
  • Ability to receive notification of a PANIC.
  • Simplifies detecting of specific alarm events with better granularity.


These messages can be made visible to the AlarmDecoder either using a physical radio device or by enabling emulation in the configuration.

How do I enable LRR?

  1. Check your panel programming, which is likely field *29.
    • If it's already enabled:
      • You're already set up for LRR. Proceed to Step #2.
    • If not:
      1. Enable the field on the panel
      2. If you don't have an LRR device then you'll need to enable emulation on the AlarmDecoder:
        1. Connect to your AlarmDecoder with a terminal. (PuTTY, screen, etc.)
        2. Send !
        3. Go through the configuration prompts and enable support for LRR emulation.
  2. Enable any reporting fields you want to receive. The ALARM_* events are always enabled. See the table below for the others.
