COMMERCIAL FIRE INSTALLATION
CID Dialer Connection
Directly connect both tip and ring terminals from the control panel to the communicator. See Figure 1. This
connection captures Contact ID messages from any fire panel that are based on the SIA communication standard
DC-05-1999.09-DCS. Messages are then formatted into a Serial 3 message and sent to an SCS-1R Receiver or
SCS-VR Receiver.
Communication Failure
The phone line voltage on the second tip and ring will drop when DualComNF is in a communication failure state. This
triggers the host panel to annunciate a communication failure. When communications have restored on DualComNF,
voltage will be restored on the second tip and ring terminal, allowing the host panel to see a restoral on the phone line.
