Pager Format

The Communicator Format option for either phone number can be programmed for Pager format. If an event
occurs and the Communicator Call Direction options direct the call to a 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 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
The panel will attempt to call the pager one time. After dialing the digits in the phone 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 maximum number of attempts has been reached.
The Pager format cannot be used with the GSM1000 cellular communicator.
Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when using Pager format. In most cases, the digit C will be
interpreted as a [#], which will terminate the page before it has finished.
If the panel detects a busy signal, it will attempt to page again. It will make the maximum number of
attempts programmed in section [160].
Force dialing should be disabled when using Pager format.
When using Pager format, you must program two Hex digit Es at the end of the phone number.
5.6.6

Scantronics Format

This is a DTMF format that sends reporting codes as:
One 6-digit account code
Eight 1-digit reporting channels (event code)
One 1-digit status channel
The software automatically generates a code for the event based on the programming of the call direction groups.

When you program the reporting codes for zones and events (programming sections [320]-[353]), program
them in the format XY, where:
X= channels 1-8 X= channels 1-8 X= channels 1-8 X= channels 1-8 X= channels 1-8
If your central station uses a Scantronics 5100 receiver, only program numbers from 1 to 6 for the event code.
Example : If you program the zone 3 alarm reporting code as [31], the panel will send event code 1 in channel 3.
The panel will send the number 5 for each of the other channels, so that the event code will look like:
The panel will send the status code (i) based on the status of the zone:
7 = Alarms, Tampers, Restorals, Openings & Closings
8 = Trouble or Trouble Restoral
9 = Test Transmission.
Example : If there is an alarm on Zone 3 the panel will send:
To disable communication for specific events, program '00' or 'FF' for the reporting code. To disable communication for specific events, program '00' or 'FF' for the reporting code.
To disable communication for specific events, program '00' or 'FF' for the reporting code. To disable communication for specific events, program '00' or 'FF' for the reporting code. To disable communication for specific events, program '00' or 'FF' for the reporting code.
5.7 Communicator – Reporting Codes
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". All reporting codes are listed and described in Appendix A "Reporting Codes."

Transmission Delay

The Transmission Delay feature is used to delay reporting of alarms. When a zone is violated and causes an alarm, the
Transmission 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 transmitted.
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
