In order to satisfy UL and ULC requirements, the communicator can enable link supervision at preset intervals. Once the communicator is provisioned with the Link Supervision option, the TCC constantly monitors all the enabled communicator pathways and sends a specific message to the Central Station if a path is broken or a compromise attempt is made. After the initial account activation has completed, the installer must verify the Link Supervision by turning off the device and making sure an alarm with the specific code is delivered.
