Appendix D: Communicator Format Options

This section requires two 2-digit entries to set the communications
format that is to be used for each phone number (1 per phone number).
The 3rd telephone number uses the format programmed for the 1st
telephone number.

Reporting Codes
• SIA -0 is valid in Account or Rep Code (not 00 in a Reporting
code though)
• ADEMCO Contact ID - 0 is not valid in Account or Rep Code (A
must be used, 10 in checksum)
• BPS Formats - 0 is not valid in Account or Rep Code (A must be
used)
• SIA - This format uses 300 Baud FSK as the communication
media. The Account Code can be 4 or 6 hexadecimal digits in
length, All reporting codes must be 2 digits in length. The SIA
format will transmit a 4 (or 6) digit account code, a 2-digit identi-
fier code and a 2-digit reporting code. The 2-digit identifier is pre
programmed by the panel.

Contact ID

Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate information
quickly using tones rather than pulses. In addition to sending informa-
tion more quickly the format also allows more information to be sent.
For example, rather than reporting an alarm zone 1 the Contact ID for-
mat can also report the type of alarm, such as Entry/Exit alarm zone 1.
If Contact ID Sends Automatic Reporting Codes is selected, the
panel will automatically generate a reporting code for each event.
These identifiers are listed in Appendix A. If the Automatic Contact
ID option is not selected, reporting codes must be programmed. The
2-digit entry determines the type of alarm. The panel will automati-
cally generate all other information, including the zone number.
NOTE: If the Automatic Contact ID option is selected, the panel will
automatically generate all zone and access code numbers, eliminat-
ing the need to program these items.
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone Fault
events will not be identified when Programmed Contact ID is used.
If the Contact ID uses Automatic Reporting Codes option is enabled,
the panel will operate as follows:
• If an event's reporting code is programmed as [00], the panel will
not attempt to call the central station.
• If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically generate the zone
or access code number. See Appendix A for a list of the codes
which will be transmitted.
If the Contact ID uses Programmed Reporting Codes option is
enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
Appendix D: Communicator Format Options
• If an event's reporting code is programmed as [00] or [FF], the
panel will not attempt to call central station.
• If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything
from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the programmed reporting
code.
• Account numbers must be four digits.
• If the digit '0' is in the account number substitute the HEX digit
'A' for the '0'.
• All reporting codes must be two digits.
• If the digit '0' is in the reporting code substitute the HEX digit
'A' for the '0'.
• To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the report-
ing code for the event as [00] or [FF].

SIA (Level 2)
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly
using frequency shift keying (FSK) rather than pulses. The SIA for-
mat will automatically generate the type of signal being transmitted,
such as Burglary, Fire, Panic etc. The two digit reporting code is used
to identify the zone or access code number.
If the SIA format is selected the panel can be programmed to automat-
ically generate all zone and access code numbers eliminating the need
to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is enabled the
panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] the panel
will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from
[01] to [FF] the panel will AUTOMATICALLY generate the zone or
access code number.
3. Bypassed zones will always be identified when partial closing the
system.
The Communicator Call Direction Options can be used to disable
reporting of events such as Openings/Closings. Also, if all the Open-
ing/Closing reporting codes were programmed as [00] the panel
would not report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is disabled the
panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] or [FF] the
panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from
[01] to [FE] the panel will send the programmed reporting code.
3. Bypassed zones will not be identified when partial closing the sys-
tem.
NOTE: The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone Fault
events will not be identified when Programmed SIA is used.

Residential Dial
If Residential Dial is programmed and an event that is programmed to
communicate occurs, the panel will seize the line and dial the appro-
priate telephone number(s). Once the dialing is complete, the panel
will emit an ID tone and wait for a handshake (press a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 0,  or # key from any telephone). It will wait for this hand-
shake for the duration of Post Dial Wait for Handshake timer. Once
