[310] System Account Number

Program the System Account Number. Only the SIA format supports 6-digit account numbers. If a 4-digit account number is required,
program the last two digits as data [FF]. When using the SIA format, this account number will be used for all reporting events. When using a
different format, this account number will be used for all events that are not partition-specific (for example, low battery, AC trouble, etc.).
For partition-specific events the system will use the programmed Partition Account Number. For all formats other than SIA, program a HEX
[A] for any digit [0] in the account number being used.
[311] to [318] Partition Account Numbers
Program the Partition Account Number for each active partition ([311] for partition 1, [312] for partition 2, etc.). When using the Automatic
SIA format, these account numbers are not used. The system will use the System Account Number for all reporting events. For all formats
other than SIA, program a HEX [A] for any digit [0] in the account number being used.
[320] to [349] Reporting Codes
Program the reporting code for all events to be transmitted. For a description of when each reporting event will be transmitted, refer to
Appendix A – Reporting Codes. The panel also supports Automatic SIA and Automatic Contact ID reporting. Program data [00] to disable
the reporting of an event. If any other data is programmed (Data [01] to [FF]), the panel will automatically generate the correct reporting
event when transmitting to the central station. For all formats excluding Automatic SIA and Automatic Contact ID, the panel will not attempt
to report an event if data [00] or data [FF] is programmed for the reporting code.
Periodic Test Transmission with Trouble - the panel can be programmed to transmit a Periodic Test Transmission with Trouble Reporting
Code in place of the standard Periodic Test Transmission if any of the following conditions exist.
• Battery Trouble (PC1616/PC1832/PC1864, PC520X)
• Fire Zone Alarm (Zones 1-64, Two-Wire Smoke
• Aux Trouble (PC1616/PC1832/PC1864)
• Fire Trouble (Two-Wire Smoke)
• Bell Trouble (PC1616/PC1832/PC1864)
• Fire Tamper/Low Sensitivity (WLS/AML Zones 1-32)
• Module Supervisory
• Fire Zones Bypassed (Zones 1-64)
• Ground Fault (PC5700)
• Fire Supervisory (Wireless/AML Zones 1-32)
• TLM Trouble (PC1616/PC1832/PC1864, PC5700 Line 1-2)
• AC Trouble (PC1616/PC1832/PC1864, PC520X)
• FTC Trouble

[350] Communicator Format

Program the 2-digit number for the desired Communicator Format for the First Phone Number and the Second Phone Number. When dialing
the Third Phone Number, the system will use the Communicator Format programmed for Phone Number 1. Refer to the Programming Work-
sheet for a list of the available Communicator Formats. See Appendix D for details.
[351] to [376] Communicator Call Direction Options
Reporting events are categorized into 5 groups: Alarm/Restore, Opening/Closing, Tamper Alarm/Restore, System Maintenance, and Test
Transmissions. Program which Phone Number the control panel will use to transmit reporting events by turning the option ON in the correct
section. Phone Number 1 and/or Phone Number 2 can be used.

[377] Communicator Variables

Program a 3-digit number for each program entry:
Swinger Shutdown (Alarms): Maximum number of alarm/restoral transmissions per zone. Valid entries: [001] to [014]. Program data [000] to
disable shutdown.
Swinger Shutdown (Tamper):
[000] to disable shutdown.
Swinger Shutdown (Trouble):
Program data [000] to disable shutdown.
Communicator (Transmission) Delay:
AC Failure Communication Delay:
Time, in 3-second intervals, before the system will consider the phone line disconnected. Valid entries: [003] to [255]
TLM Trouble Delay:
(e.g., 3 x10 seconds = 30 seconds).
TLM Restoral follows the same delay.
Test Transmission Cycle (Land Line):
Wireless Zone Low Battery Delay:
Valid entries: [000] to [255]. Program data [000] for no delay.
Maximum number of tamper alarm/restoral transmissions per zone. Valid entries: [000] to [014]. Program data
Maximum number of trouble alarm/restoral transmissions per trouble condition. Valid entries: [000] to [014].
Time, in seconds, the panel will delay reporting an alarm event. Valid entries: [000] to [255].
Time, in minutes, the panel will delay reporting an AC trouble event. Valid entries: [000] to [255].
Number of days between test transmission reporting events. Valid entries: [001] to [255].
Number of days the system will delay reporting a wireless low battery to the central station.
