Residential Dial
If Residential Dial is programmed and an event that is pro-
grammed to communicate occurs, the panel will seize the line
and dial the appropriate telephone number(s). Once the dialing is
complete, the panel will emit an ID tone and wait for a hand-
shake (press a 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 0,
It will wait for this handshake for the duration of Post Dial Wait
for Handshake timer. Once the panel receives the handshake, it
will emit an alarm tone over the telephone line for 20 seconds. If
several alarms occur at the same time, only one call will be made
to each telephone number the panel is programmed to call.
NOTE: The Residential Dial format will not work over the
LINKS1000/GSM1000.

Pager Format
The Communicator Format option for either telephone number
can be programmed for Pager Format. If an event occurs and the
Communicator Call Direction options direct the call to a tele-
phone number with the Pager Format selected the panel will
attempt to page.
When calling a pager extra digits will be required to make it work
properly.
The following is a list of Hex digits and what function they per-
form:
Hex [B] - simulates the [] key on a touch tone telephone Hex [E] -
two second pause
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone Hex [F]
- end of telephone number marker
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager one time. After dialing
the digits in the telephone number the panel will send the
account number and reporting code followed by the [#] key (Hex
[C]).
There is no ringback when using Pager Format. The panel has no
way of confirming if the pager was called successfully; a failure
to communicate trouble will only be generated once the maxi-
mum number of attempts has been reached.
NOTE: The Pager Format cannot be used with the
LINKS1000/GSM1000 cellular communicator.
NOTE:Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when
using Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C will be inter-
preted as a [#], which will terminate the page before it has
finished.
NOTE:If the panel detects a busy signal, it will attempt to
page again. It will make the maximum number of attempts
programmed in section [165].
Force dialing should be disabled when using Pager format.
NOTE:When using Pager format, you must program two
hex digit E's at the end of the telephone number.

Communicator - Reporting Codes

Unless you are using Automatic Contact ID or Automatic SIA for-
mats, reporting codes must be programmed in order for the
panel to report events to the central station.
Reporting codes are two digits and can use hexadecimal digits A
through F. To disable a reporting code, program it as "FF"
(default setting) or "00". For a complete description of reporting
codes which can be programmed and lists of automatic Contact
ID and SIA format codes, please see section Appendix A:
"Reporting Codes" on page 36.
Transmission Delay
The Transmission Delay feature is used to delay reporting of
alarms. When a zone is violated and causes an alarm, the Trans-
mission Delay Timer will start. When the timer expires, the
panel will transmit the programmed reporting code. If the system
is disarmed before the timer expires, the alarm will not be trans-
mitted.
The Transmission Delay zone attribute determines which zones
will start the timer.

Low Battery Transmission Delay
When using wireless devices, battery status will be monitored by
the panel. If a low battery condition exists, the panel will indicate
a general transmitter low battery trouble. The panel will delay
reporting the event for the number of days programmed as the
Low Battery Transmission Delay. This delay provides the user
with an opportunity to change the batteries on the units before
the condition is reported to central station. Instruct the customer
on how to change the batteries of wireless devices to gain maxi-
mum use of this feature.
NOTE: After the first Wireless Device Low Battery reporting
code is sent, the panel will not send additional low battery
events until the first low battery trouble is restored.

Cross Zone Police Code Reporting
The panel will transmit the Cross Zone Police Code reporting
code, if programmed, when two different zones are violated
within the same armed-to-armed period.
The Burglary Verified Timer, if programmed, will start when a
zone is violated and causes an alarm. If a second zone is violated
before the timer expires, the panel will transmit the Cross Zone
Police Code reporting code. If the timer expires before a second
zone is violated, the panel will not send the reporting code, and
the timer will start again. Valid entries for the Burglary Verified
timer are 000-255 minutes (000 to disable).
The Double Hit option allows the Cross Zone Police Code
reporting code to be sent when two zone alarms occur on the
same zone. The Burglary Verified timer, if programmed, also
applies to the Double Hit option. Only zones programmed as
Interior, Interior Delay, Interior Stay/Away, or Delay Stay/Away are
included in the Double Hit option.
