Control Panels
XR150 & XR550
Version 243 | January 20, 2025
Features
Multi-Swipe Custom Actions
Multi-swipe options have been added to Custom Actions in Virtual Keypad and are now supported on XR Series Control Panels. Custom swipe actions can be enabled to allow users to Swipe Twice or Swipe Three Times to arm one area or a group of areas, unlock a door or a group of doors, initiate a Lockdown, or activate Favorites, Lights, and Outputs.
Key Fobs as Zones
XR Series Control Panels, along with the upcoming 1100XH Series Wireless Receivers Version 209 or 309 (encrypted), have been updated to allow 1-button and 2-button key fobs to be programmed as wireless panic zones. Previously, 1144 Series Wireless Key Fobs could only be programmed using the designated key fob range. Now, in addition to the existing key fob range, up to 100 key fobs on the XR150 and up to 500 key fobs on the XR550 can be programmed as wireless panic zones.
DualSIM Activation
This update allows for the activation of the upcoming 263LTE-2 Cellular Communicator, which can connect to both Verizon and AT&T cellular carriers, providing an additional backup communication method. You can choose to activate Verizon, AT&T, or both carriers on Dealer Admin. Once DualSIM is activated, carriers can also be switched to ATT, VZW, or BOTH in the panel’s DIAG (Diagnostics) menu if remote connectivity is unavailable.
Signal Strength Test
Upon being powered on, the panel selects a primary carrier. Once the primary is established, the panel tests the signal strength of the primary every hour. During the test, if the primary’s signal drops by 10db or more, the panel then tests the backup carrier. If the backup has a stronger signal, it becomes the new primary.
Every five hours, the panel automatically tests the backup’s signal strength to determine the stronger signal.
XR100 & XR500
Version 213 | November 21, 2018
Effective November 30th, 2018, all XR100/XR500 Series panels can be updated to Version 213.
Version 213 now supports the 263LTE-V5 Cellular Communication Module.

XTLplus & XTLtouch
Version 241 | September 4, 2024
Panel Improvements
Comm Trouble Message
Previously, when the panel tried to communicate with the receiver and missed the check-in minutes for NET communication, the panel sent an S72 (Comm Trouble) message before the FAIL TIME minutes elapsed. This update allows the fail time minutes to pass before the panel detects a communication failure.
XR150 & XR550 International

Keypads
5-Inch Touchscreen Keypads
Version 207 | July 10, 2024
Improvements
Faulted Zone Update
When a system is set to the Home/Away arming type and has Closing Code turned on, the keypad lists the faulted zones before displaying OKAY BYPASS STOP.
Keypad Expander Update

7830F Touchscreen Keypads
Version 101 | July 31, 2024
Improvements
Inspection Reminder
Updated Version 101 (7/31/24) supports the XF6 Version 241 (8/5/24) Inspection Reminder Update.
To remain in compliance, Fire Alarm Control Panels require an inspection every 3 months, every 6 months, or once a year. Previously, the inspection scheduling was organized by the installing or servicing company.
Now, XF6 Series panels include inspection reminders for fire systems. This allows for the panel to remind the Dealer, Monitoring Center, and End User that an inspection needs to be performed to remain in compliance.
When an inspection is due, the keypad annunciates and displays a message reminding the user that their inspection is due soon. The End User can acknowledge the reminder to silence and clear the message.
A technician can enter into the keypad menu and select that they have completed the inspection. This will reset the inspection reminder countdown.
7-Inch Touchscreen Keypads
Version 186.1.0.1175
Updated firmware is now available for 8860 Touchscreen Keypads.
Version is supported by XT30/XT50 Series panels with firmware Version 241 and XR150/XR550 Series panels with firmware Version 241.

ICOMSL Series
Version 194 | April 30, 2020
Effective April 30th, 2020, CellCom/iCOM Series Communicators updated Version 194 (4/30/20) firmware is available for download.
Communication Enhancement
When updating a CellCom or iCOM Series Communicator that was Version 182 or lower and using Dealer Admin to program the unit, the communicator would send unnecessary information in communication programming. Dealer Admin would display an error when trying to send programming to these communicators. Updated Version 194 (4/30/20) resolves this issue.
After updating the communicator to Version 194 (4/30/20), it is recommended to retrieve the programming from the communicator using Dealer Admin in order for the error to be resolved.
If you have a CellCom or iCom that is Version 183 or higher, this is not an issue.
Receivers
SCS-VR
Version 1.4.9 | November 26, 2024
SCS-VR™ software has been updated to Version 1.4.9.
Improvements
Updating to Java 17In order to be compatible with Oracle’s long-term supported versions, SCS-VR 1.4.9 and later requires Java 17.
Support for OpenJDK
For SCS-VR deployments that require a non-Java solution, SCS-VR 1.4.9 and later supports OpenJDK solutions. Installers can now direct SCS-VR to a Java or OpenJDK instance.
Removal of Duplicate Events
Previously, certain systems reported duplicate events to the monitoring center automation software when receiving more than 4,000 events in one minute. This update resolves this issue, resulting in only a single message per event being sent to the monitoring center automation software from the SCS-VR.
Upgrading or Ordering SCS-VR Software
SCS-VR Software Updates are provided to dealers who have previously purchased an SCS-VR license and are current with their support agreement.
To upgrade SCS-VR, please complete the Pre-Upgrade Checklist before contacting the Software Support Team in DMP Technical Support at 888.436.7832.
