is displayed on the top line of the display. A cursor is

The "Clear Point Label" menu performs the same function as
"Edit Point Label" described above except that it clears the
point's currently assigned label first.

Programming DACT

The panel's DACT (Digital Alarm Communicator Transmit-
ter) allows the panel to use one or two telephone lines to call
a supervising station and report a local alarm, trouble, or
supervisory condition.
This section describes programming the DACT options to
specify the characteristics of the DACT's phone connection,
communication format, and the format of the event or CID
codes used by the supervising station.
Login at Level 4 before starting DACT programming. See
Chapter 1 for information on doing this.
Note: The <Exit/Clear> key is used to back out of menus or
displays and return to the top-level menu structure. Where
possible, the <Exit/Clear> key backs out one level at a time.
There are cases, however, that the Exit/Clear key will return
the operator directly to the top-level menu.

DACT: [Options]
Use the <NEXT> and <PREV> keys to select one of the
following choices.
• Options. This choice allows you to program a wide
range of DACT parameters. (supervising station
phone numbers and account codes, dialing mode,
communications format, etc.). Refer to "Program-
ming DACT Options" below for specific informa-
tion.
Note: If no DACT is installed, use this option to
disable the DACT. See "Programming DACT
Options," below for more information.
• Event Codes. The 3/1, 4/2, BFSK, and SIA com-
munication formats support per-event reporting of
fire alarms, trouble conditions, etc. With these for-
mats, the supervising station receives a general
code for an event type that does not specify the
activated point.
Use this choice to verify and edit the codes for each
event type. Refer to "Programming Event Codes,"
below for more information.
Note: Only the 3/1 and 4/2 formats allow editing of
event codes.
• CID Points. The Contact ID communication for-
mat supports per-point reporting of system events.
The supervising station receives a code identifying
the point and the event type (alarm, trouble, etc.).
With this format, the DACT can also send a resto-
ral code to the supervising station after the device
experiencing the alarm, trouble, or supervisory
condition is restored to a normal state. Use this
choice to verify and edit the activation and restoral
codes for each point. Refer to "Programming Con-
tact ID (CID) Event Codes," below for more infor-
mation.
