4.5 DEFINING COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS

Preliminary Guidance

This mode allows
communication parameters to the local requirements.
Compatible central station receivers are:
Osborne-Hoffman model 2000, Ademco Model 685,
FBII Model CP220, Radionics Model D6500, Sur-Gard
Model SG-MLR2-DG and Silent Knight Model 9500.
IMPORTANT: In telephone / pager number locations and
account number locations, you may be required to enter
hexadecimal digits. In telephone number locations, these
digits are used as codes to control the dialer:
Hex. Keying Code
Digit Sequence Significance
⇒
<0> Applicable only at the beginning of a
A <#>
number - the dialer waits 10 seconds
or waits for dial tone, whichever
comes first and then dials.
⇒
B <#> <1> Inserts an asterisk ( )
⇒
C <#> <2> Inserts a pound sign (#)
⇒
<3> Applicable only at the beginning of a
D <#>
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds
for dial tone and goes on hook if none
is received.
⇒
<4> Applicable only in the middle of the
E <#>
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds
⇒
F <#> <5> Not applicable in phone numbers
To enter a series of digits, use the following keys:
<Numeric keypad> - to enter the number
- moves the cursor from left to right
- moves the cursor from right to left
- deletes everything after the cursor (to the right).
4.5.1 Autotest Time
(Fig. 4.5, location 01). Here you determine the time at which
the telephone line will be tested and reported to the central
station.

4.5.2 Autotest Cycle

(Fig. 4.5, location 02). Here you determine the time interval
between consecutive telephone line test messages sent to
the central station. The control panel performs this at
regular intervals to verify proper communications.
The options are: test every 1, 5, 7, 14, 30 days and test off.

4.5.3 Area Code

(Fig. 4.5, location 03). Here you enter the system tel. area
code (up to 4 digits).

4.5.4 Out Access No

(Fig. 4.5, location 04). Here you enter the number that is used
as a prefix to access an outside telephone line (if exists).

4.5.5 First Central Station Tel.

(Fig. 4.5, loc. 05). Here you program telephone number of the 1
central station (including area code, 16 digit max) to which
the system will report the event groups defined in memory
location 11 (see note in fig. 4.5).

4.5.6 First Account No.

(Fig. 4.5, location 06). Here you enter number that will
identify your specific alarm control system to the first
central station. The number consists of 4 or 6 hexadecimal
digits (see note in fig. 4.5).
4.5.7 2 Central Station Tel
ND
(Fig. 4.5, loc. 07). Here you program telephone number of the
nd
2 central station (including area code, 16 digit max) to which
the system will report the event groups defined in memory

4.5.9 Report Format

(Fig. 4.5, location 9). Here you select the reporting format
used by the control panel to report events to central
stations (see note in Figure 4.5).
The options are:
4/2 1800/2300

4.5.10 4/2 Pulse Rate

(Fig. 4.5, location 10). Here you select the pulse rate at
which data will be sent to central stations if any one of the
4/2 formats has been selected in Location 09 REPORT
FORMAT (see note in fig. 4.5). The options are: 10, 20, 33
and 40 pps.

4.5.11 Reporting to Central Stations

(Fig. 4.5, location 11) (see note in fig. 4.5).
Here you determine which types of event will be reported
to central stations. Due to lack of space in the display,
abbreviations are used: alarm is "alrm", alert is "alrt" and
open/close is "o/c". The asterisk ( ) is a separator
between events reported to central station 1 and events
reported to central station 2.
Messages are divided by type into three groups:
GROUP
Alarms
Open/Close Arming AWAY, Arming HOME, Disarming
Alerts
"Alarm" group has the highest priority and "Alert" group
has the lowest priority.
The selectable options are as follows:
Plan name
all -o/c
all all
all-o/c
all –o/c
all (–alrt)
Alrm all (–alrm) Alarms
Disable report
all backup
Note: "All" means that all 3 groups are reported and also
trouble messages - sensor / system low battery, sensor
inactivity, power failure, jamming, communication failure etc.

4.5.12 Report CNF Alarm

(Fig. 4.5, location 12). Here you determine whether the
system will report whenever 2 or more events (confirmed
st
alarm) occur during a specific period (see par. 4.4.33 and
note in Figure 4.5).
Available options are: enable report, disable report,
enable + bypass (enabling report and bypassing the
detector - applicable to PowerMax Pro that is compatible
with DD243 standard).

4.5.13 Send 2WV Code

(Fig. 4.5, location 13). Here you determine whether the
system will send two-way voice code to the central station
(to turn the central station from data communication to voice
communication state) by using pre-selected SIA or Contact-
ID communication format only (see note in fig. 4.5). Options:
send and don't send.
