DO NOT connect this line to the mains. The CAC input will detect AC voltages between 10 and 24V. If the CAC line is not connected, the Falcon Global should not be programmed to send AC Failure or Restoral Signals. -
Page 9: Contact Id Inputs
GLOBAL 3.1.4 Contact ID Inputs The Falcon Global can 'intercept' signals sent by the alarm panel on its telephone line (Contact ID) interface. If the Contact ID interface is to be used, the alarm panel's TIP and RING lines should be connected to the TIP and RING lines on the Falcon Global. -

Page 18: Appendix A Serial Interface
GLOBAL APPENDIX A SERIAL INTERFACE The Falcon Global uses a standard interface cable (with interchangeable ends) along with an adapter to connect to various alarm panels except for the DSC PowerSeries and the IDS805 panels which use a key-bus module and the Orisec panel which has its own serial cable whose ends are NOT interchangeable. - Page 19 Falcon Global Serial Interface Cable TEXECOM SERIAL INTERFACE Set the serial port format to Texecom on the Falcon Global (Refer to Section 3.4). Connect the Falcon Global to Com1 on the alarm panel using the serial interface cable with the TEXECOM-IDS adapter board .
- Page 20 Falcon Global’s serial port. PIMA SERIAL INTERFACE Set the serial port format to Pima on the Falcon Global (Refer to Section 3.4). Plug the adapter marked PIMA into the serial port on the Pima alarm panel. Plug the other end into the Falcon Global’s serial port.
- Page 21 DSC NEO SERIAL INTERFACE Set the serial port format to DSC PowerSeries Neo on the Falcon Global (Refer to Section 3.4). The Falcon Global can send alarms received from the PC LINK_2 header of the DSC PowerSeries Neo panel.
- Page 22 The Falcon Global can send alarms received from the keypad- bus of the IDS805 alarm panel. Set the serial port format to IDS on the Falcon Global if using an IDS-supplied key-bus module or to IDS805 FSK Key-Bus if using an FSK-supplied DSC Power Series/IDS805 FSK Key-Bus Module (Refer to Section 3.4).
- Page 23 App Set-up Guide provided, for alarm signals to be sent and/or for app connectivity. ORISEC SERIAL CABLE The Falcon Global can send alarms received from the COM 1 serial port of the Orisec alarm panel with a firmware version of 4.52 or later.
