Assigning Keypad Zones; Communicator - Dialing - DSC power608 Installation Manual

• Force Arm Enable – This attribute determines whether
or not the system can be armed while a zone is violated.
At the end of the exit delay, if this type of zone is violated,
it will be ignored by the panel. Once the zone is secured,
it will be monitored by the system. This zone attribute, for
example, will allow the user to arm the system with the
garage door open. Later, when the door is closed, it will
be armed along with the rest of the system. Do not pro-
gram this attribute for 24Hr zones.
• Swinger Shutdown Enable – This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will shut down the communica-
tor and bell for a zone once its swinger limit has been
reached (see section 5.19 "Swinger Shutdown" on page
24)
• Transmission Delay Enable – This attribute determines
whether or not the panel will delay communicating the
alarm reporting code for the programmed Transmission
Delay Period (see section 5.15 "Transmission Delay" on
page 23).
• Wireless Zone – This attribute determines which zones
are to have wireless devices. This allows the panel to
generate a low battery trouble and zone supervisories for
the wireless zones.
NOTE: Any zone with the wireless attribute enabled will not
cause an alarm for a fault condition when armed (or any time
for 24-hour zones).

Assigning Keypad Zones

"Z" keypads have zone inputs to which devices—such as
door contacts—can be connected. (See section 2.11 "Keypad
Zones" on page 6 for wiring information.)
Once the keypad zones are installed, assign the zone in pro-
gramming section [020] Keypad Zone Assignments.
Enter the 2 digit zone designated for each keypad (address)
from 01-08.

5.5 Communicator – Dialing
If the Communicator Disable option is selected, the panel
will not attempt to call central station. If communication is
enabled, the panel will attempt to call central station when an
event with a valid reporting code occurs (See section 5.8
"Communicator – Reporting Codes" on page 17).
The Communicator Call Direction options are used to select
which telephone number the panel will dial when an event
occurs.
If the DTMF Dialing option is enabled, the panel will dial using
DTMF (touch tone). If the Switch to Pulse Dial option is
enabled, the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the fifth
attempt to call the central station. When this option is dis-
abled, the panel will always dial using DTMF. If DTMF Dialing
is disabled, the panel will always pulse dial.
When the Force Dialing option is enabled, the panel will dial
out regardless of the presence of dial tone. Each dialing
attempt will follow this pattern:
a) the panel pick up the telephone line and search for dial
tone for 5 seconds
b) if no dial tone is found, the panel will hang up and wait for
20 seconds
16
c) the panel will pick up the telephone line again and search
for a dial tone for 5 seconds
d) the panel will then dial regardless of the presence of dial
tone
If there is no initial handshake recognized within 40 seconds
the panel will then hang up the line.
If the Force Dialing option is disabled, each attempt will still
follow the above pattern, except that the panel will not dial in
step d if no dial tone is detected.
The Delay Between Dialing Attempts timer adds a delay
before the next call is dialed.
If the Anti-Jam Feature is enabled, each dialing attempt will
work as follows: if there is no dial tone present on the initial
dial tone search, the panel will hang up the phone for 90ms,
and then perform another dial tone search. If no dial tone is
detected, the panel will hang up for 20 seconds, then perform
another five second dial tone search. The panel will then force
dial if force dialing is enabled. The whole sequence counts as
one dialing attempt.
Maximum Dialing Attempts determines the maximum num-
ber of attempts the panel will make to send a signal to the
central station before indicating a Failure to Communicate
(FTC) trouble condition. The maximum number of dialing
attempts that can be programmed is 15.
The 3rd Telephone Number can be used to back up the 1st
in the event of an FTC. (see section 5.7 "Communicator – Tele-
phone Numbers" on page 17). If a later communication
attempt is successful, the FTC reporting code(s) programmed
in section [351] will be transmitted along with the unreported
events from an earlier unsuccessful communication.
When Bell on FTC when Armed is enabled in programming
section [702], option [8], an FTC during the armed period will
sound an Audible Alarm for the length of Bell time-out or until
the system is disarmed. If FTC Trouble Only when Armed is
enabled, only the keypad buzzer will sound trouble beeps
every 10 seconds until a key is pressed.
Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of time
the panel will wait for a valid handshake from the receiver. If
the panel does not hear the handshake it will consider the call
a failed attempt, hang up and try again.
The Pulse Dialing Make/Break Ratio option can change the
Make/Break ratio to 33/67 from the North American ratio of 40/
60.
With ID Tone Enabled the panel will pulse a tone on the tele-
phone line to indicate that the panel is on the line.
The 2100Hz/1300Hz option selects the frequency of the ID
tone that is pulsed on the line.
NOTE: Contact your local telephone company to confirm which
settings should be used.
