Communicator - Telephone Numbers

The panel can call 3 different telephone numbers for communi-
cation to central station. The 1st telephone Number is the pri-
mary number, the 2nd telephone Number is the secondary
number and the 3rd telephone Number will back up the 1st
telephone number if enabled.
NOTE:The 3rd telephone Number will NOT back up the 2nd
telephone Number.
If Alternate Dial is enabled the panel will alternate between the
1st and 3rd telephone numbers when attempting to call the cen-
tral station. If disabled the panel will only attempt to call the 3rd
telephone number after failing to communicate on the 1st tele-
phone number.
NOTE: For Alternate Dial to work properly the 3rd tele-
phone Number must be both enabled and programmed.
telephone numbers can be up to 32 digits which will allow you
to add special digits if required. To program the telephone num-
ber enter numbers 0 through 9 as required. The following is a list
of HEX digits which can also be programmed and the function
they perform:
HEX (B) - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
HEX (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone
HEX (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds
HEX (F) - end of telephone number marker

Communicator - Account Codes

The System Account Code will be used by the panel when com-
municating System events (e.g. Low Battery, Test Transmission).
This account code can be up to six digits in length for the SIA
Communications format. Only the SIA reporting format supports
six-digit account codes. All other formats will use the first four
digits of the account code regardless.
NOTE: If the communicator is programmed for the SIA
reporting format, the system will use this account code for
all partitions.
There are eight Partition Identifier Codes (or Account Codes)
programmable, one for each partition. The Account Code is used
by central station to determine which panel is calling.
If you have programmed the system for more than one partition,
you must program an account code for each active partition. The
panel will report to the central station by partition. For example,
if an alarm occurs on a zone assigned to Partition 1 the panel will
report using Partition 1 account code.

Communicator - Reporting Formats

Each central station telephone number of the panel can be pro-
grammed to report using any one of the 5 formats available. The
following formats are supported: Pulse (10 and 20 BPS), Contact
ID, SIA, Residential Dial and a Pager format. The following is a
description of each.
Communicator Format Options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [350]
Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the panel will communi-
cate using the following:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 10 or 20 bits per second
• non-extended
With the 1600Hz Handshake option enabled, the communica-
tor will respond to 1600Hz handshakes when using the reporting
Communication Formats 01 and 02 only. When the Standard
Handshake option is enabled, the communicator will respond to
the handshake specified by the BPS format (1400Hz or 2300Hz).
