the fire panel into which the SPT is mounted. System fault indications which are notified by the line fault output

The serial data connection labelled TX, RX, B and A is configurable for RS485 or RS232 connection depending on the
panel.

These ports allow serial alarm panel connection. See Panel Upload Download section.
Dial capture
The dial capture (Dial Cap) terminals enable interfacing with an alarm panel's digital communicator. The alarm panel can
then send SIA, CID or Fast Format messages through the unit to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
Dial capture can also be used for upload download UDL allowing remote access with some types of alarm panel.
Aerial connection
Connect the supplied aerials to the MMCX connectors on the top right of the unit. The aerials should be placed in a
vertical position and slightly apart to ensure a good wireless coverage. Carry out a survey to establish the best location.
