Programming Guide Overview
General
The DC58/58M digital communicator consists of a
single PCB fitted in a small polycarbonate case. It is
used to transfer status information from an alarm
system to a dedicated Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC)
via the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The
DC58M offers the same features as the DC58 but it also
functions as a V21 modem. The DC58M is required
when using the up/downloading feature on
compatible Menvier Security control panels.
Operating Modes
The D C5 8 ca n be u sed a s a s t a n d - a lon e
communicator, in this mode the communicator is
hard-wired to the control panel using the appropriate
terminal block connections. Alternatively the unit can
be plugged on to a suitable Menvier Security control
panel, such as the TS510, TS700, TS790, TS900, TS2500
or TS2200. When used in this mode the communicator

plugs on to the control panel using the lead supplied.
The DC58M can only be used in the plug-on mode.
NVM Programming
All programmed data is stored in a plug-in NVM
(Non-Volatile Memory) which will be retained for up to
five years with no power present. The NVM can be

programmed by using a Menvier Security LCD Remote
Keypad (P/No. NETLCD) and an engineer's interface
lead (P/No. NETEKI) which will plug directly on to the
DC58/58M. Alternatively the NVM can be programmed
using the desktop programmer PP5.
Your ARC will normally provide a programming service
and will supply a pre-programmed NVM on request.

Series Voltage Drop
The voltage drop introduced by the series connection
through the DC58/58M at a line current of 40mA is 0.1V.
When used with other apparatus (telephone, fax etc.)
the total voltage drop @40mA MUST NOT exceed 2.0V.

The installer must ensure that
power drawn by the DC58/58M
plus any other auxiliary apparatus is
within the rating of the control
