from any telephone). 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 sev-
eral 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.

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 telephone number with the Pager for-
mat 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
the function they perform:
Hex [A] - not used
Hex [B] - simulates the [] key on a tone telephone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a 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 success-
fully; a Failure to Communicate Trouble will only be gen-
erated once the maximum number of attempts has been
reached.
NOTE: The Pager format cannot be used with the
LINKS1000 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
interpreted 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 Es at the end of the telephone number.
Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the panel will
communicate using the following:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 10 or 20 bits per second
• non-extended
The digit '0' will send no pulses and is used as a filler.
When programming account numbers enter four digits.
When programming a 3-digit account number the fourth
digit must be programmed as a plain '0' which will act as
a filler digit.
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]
• 3-digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
• 4-digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
When programming reporting codes two digits must be
entered. If one digit reporting codes are to be used the sec-
P r o g r a m m i n g S e c t i o n s : 5 . 6 C o m m u n i c a t o r P r o g r a m m i n g P W S S e c t 6
ond 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]
• 2-digit reporting code [30] - program [3A]
To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the
reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
NOTE: 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 than reporting an alarm zone 1 the Contact ID for-
mat 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 Appen-
dix A. If the Automatic Contact ID option is not selected,
reporting codes must be programmed. The 2-digit entry
determines the type of alarm. The panel will automati-
cally 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 Pro-
grammed 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
anything from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically
generate the zone or access code number. See Appen-
dix 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:
• 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
anything from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the pro-
grammed 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].
NOTE: This communication format cannot be selected
if Downlook is required.
