Communicator - Phone Numbers

The panel can call 3 different phone numbers for communication to the central station. The 1st Phone Number is the
primary number, the 2nd Phone Number is the secondary number and the 3rd Phone Number will back up the 1st
phone number if enabled.
The 3rd Phone Number will NOT back up the 2nd Phone Number.
Alternate Dial Alternate Dial
If Alternate Dial Alternate Dial Alternate Dial is enabled the panel will alternate between the 1st and 3rd phone numbers when attempting to call
the central station. If disabled the panel will only attempt to call the 3rd phone number after failing to communicate on
the 1st phone number.
For Alternate Dial to work properly the 3rd phone number must be enabled.
Phone numbers can be up to 32 digits which will allow you to add special digits if required. To program the phone
number enter numbers 0 through 9 as required. The following is a list of HEX digits which can also be programmed
and the function they perform:
Hex (B) - simulates the [✱] key on a tone phone
Hex (C) - simulates the [#] key on a tone phone
Hex (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone

Communicator - Account Numbers

There are two Partition Identifier Codes (or account numbers) programmable, one for each partition. The account
number is used by the central station to determine which panel is calling.
If the panel is programmed as two partitions both account numbers must be programmed. The panel will report to
the central station by partition. For example, if an alarm occurs on a zone assigned to Partition 1 the panel will report
using partition 1 account number.

Communicator - Reporting Formats

Each central station phone number of the panel can be programmed to report using any one of the formats
available. The following formats are supported: Pulse (10 and 20 BPS), Contact ID, SIA, Private Line,
Scantronics and a Pager format. The following is a description of each:
5.6.1

Pulse Formats

Depending on the pulse format selected the panel will communicate using the following:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
Additional Notes on Pulse Formats
1. The digit '0' will send no pulses and is used as a filler.
2. When programming account numbers enter four digits.
3. When programming a three-digit account number the fourth digit must be programmed as a plain '0' which will act
as a filler digit.
4. If an account number has a '0' in it, substitute a Hex digit 'A' for the '0'. Examples:
• 3-digit account number [123] - program [1230]
• 4-digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
5. When programming reporting codes two digits must be entered. If one-digit reporting codes are to be used the
second digit must be programmed as a '0'. If a '0' is to be transmitted substitute a Hex digit 'A' for the '0'.
Examples:
• 1-digit reporting code [3] - program [30]
6. To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
This communication format cannot be selected if Downlook is required.

Contact ID

Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly using tones rather than pulses. In
addition to sending information more quickly the format also allows more information to be sent. For example, rather

• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
