Appendix F: Communicator Format Options

This section requires two 2-digit entries to set the communi-
cations format that is to be used for each phone number (1
per phone number). The 3rd telephone number uses the for-
mat programmed for the 1st telephone number.
Entry Communication Format
01 20 BPS, 1400 HZ handshake
02 20 BPS, 2300 HZ handshake
03 DTMF CONTACT I.D.

Reporting Codes
• SIA -0 is valid in Account or Rep Code (not 00 in a Report-
ing 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 communica-
tion 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 identifier 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 addi-
tion to sending information more quickly the format also
allows more information to be sent. For example, rather than
reporting an alarm zone 1 the Contact ID format 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, report-
ing codes must be programmed. The 2-digit entry deter-
mines the type of alarm. The panel will automatically
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,
eliminating 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 any-
thing from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically gener-
ate 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 F: 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 any-
thing 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
reporting 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 format 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 automatically generate all zone and access code num-
bers 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 clos-
ing the system.
The Communicator Call Direction Options can be used to
disable reporting of events such as Openings/Closings.
Also, if all the Opening/Closing reporting codes were pro-
grammed 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 report-
ing code.
3. Bypassed zones will not be identified when partial closing
the system.
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 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 handshake (press a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, , or #
key from any telephone). It will wait for this handshake for
