Digital Communicator Operation Digital Communicator Operation The 411UD has been designed to be compatible with a wide variety of fire alarm, nonfire and combination control panels. Numerous formats are also available for communication to a central station. Two modular phone jacks allow easy connection to telephone lines.
Telephone Requirements and Warnings 1.6.3 Telephone Company Rights and Warnings: The telephone company, under certain circumstances, may temporarily discontinue services and/or make changes in its facilities, services, equipment or procedures which may affect the operation of this digital communicator. How- ever, the telephone company is required to give advance notice of such changes or interruptions.
Operational Modes Operational Modes 1.7.1 Normal Mode Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation in which the 411UD digital communicator monitors the host control panel status as well as telephone line voltage and other internal circuits. In addition to locally annunciating system trouble, active channel and communication fail, the digital communicator transmits system status information to UL listed central station receivers.
Installation Installation CHAPTER 2 Mounting Options The 411UD with enclosure may be mounted in the cabinet of the Fire•Lite/Notifier control panel which is being mon- itored or in any enclosure UL listed for fire protective use. When using with other than Fire•Lite/Notifier control panels, the 411UD may be mounted in any enclosure UL listed for fire protective use.

Telephone Circuits Telephone Circuits Provision to connect two independent telephone lines is available via two telephone jacks labeled PH1 (Primary) and PH2 (Secondary). Telephone line control/command is possible via double line seizure as well as usage of an RJ31X style interconnection. (RJ31X jacks must be ordered separately). CAUTION: It is critical that the 411UD be located as the first device on the incoming telephone circuit to properly function.

UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements The four 411UD input channels are power-limited circuits. Power supplied to the 411UD must be power-limited 12 or 24 volts, filtered and nonresettable. The two Relay circuits must be connected to power-limited circuits. Do not connect nonpower-limited wiring to any circuits on the 411UD.
Modes of Operation Modes of Operation CHAPTER 3 The 411UD digital communicator has five operational modes: • Normal Mode • Real Time Clock Mode • Program Mode • Troubleshoot Mode • Default Mode The operational mode for the digital communicator is Normal Mode. The operator is able to switch between any modes of operation provided no alarm events are active in the system.
Normal Mode The 411UD can be switched from Normal Mode to any other Mode, provided no channel programmed for fire alarm or fire supervisory is active, that is, in alarm (shorted). The PRO-411 DACT Programmer, for use with the Fire•Watch 411 Series, must be connected to the 411UD in order to change from mode to mode. 3.1.1 Programmer Key Functions Programmer Keypad FIGURE 3-1:...
Real Time Clock Mode 1st EVENT KEY This key, along with the UP and DOWN arrow keys, are used only in Program Mode. Press the 1st EVENT key at any time to display the first program memory address and its content. The following may be displayed on the Programmer: 00_F (address)(data)

Program Mode Primary Central Station Number Communication Format (20) One location is needed to select the Communication Format to the primary phone number. Address 20 is used for this purpose. The factory default setting for this address is 'E', which is Contact ID Format. You may enter '0' through 'D' in place of the default, then press [ENTER/STORE].
Program Mode Ademco Contact ID Format Primary Central Station Event Codes If 'E' is entered for address 20, the following data is automatically programmed for the Primary Central Station phone number event codes. Enter '000' for the Setting to disable the report to the Central Station. The Channel # is not programmable.

Program Mode The following Tables list the data which is automatically programmed for each Format that can be selected in address 50. The addresses shown in each Table contain the event code Setting data which is automatically programmed by the 411UD. To change the value, key in the new digits and then press the [ENTER/STORE] key to save the new value.
Page 35
Program Mode Backup Reporting (61) Leaving address 61 at '0' means that reports will be transmitted to the secondary Central Station phone number only if attempts to communicate to the primary Central Station phone number are unsuccessful. Programming a '1' causes all reports to be transmitted to both the primary and secondary Central Station phone numbers. Pro- gramming a '2' causes reports to go to the first available receiver.

Program Mode Input Channel 1 Delay Timer (69 - 71) The Delay Timer is used to delay activation of the digital communicator when the Input Channel is activated. Input Channel 1 Delay Timer is factory set to '000' seconds for no delay. The timer may be programmed for a delay of from 0 to 179 seconds.
Page 37
Program Mode Output Relay Function Selections (88) The Output Relay can be programmed to activate for any one of six conditions. It can be programmed to 0, 1, 2 or 4 to match one of the input channels or it can be programmed to 6 or 7 for DACT functioning. The factory default for address 88 is '7' for activation on DACT trouble.
Default Mode Programming Event Code Settings (138 - 265) Event Code Settings, corresponding to the Formats selected for the Primary Central Station phone number in address 20 and the Secondary Central Station phone number in address 50, are automatically set to factory default values.
Troubleshoot Mode The secondary phone line may be tested by pressing the E key for touchtone dialing or the F key for rotary dialing and then following the same procedure used for the primary phone line. A handset may be temporarily connected across transformer T1 of the 411UD as indicated in Figure 3-2.
Central Station Communications Central Station Communications CHAPTER 4 The 411UD digital communicator transmits system status reports to Central Stations via the public switched tele- phone network. Two supervised telephone line connections are made to interface the communicator to the telephone lines.
Central Station Communications The digital communicator is capable of reporting detailed messages depending upon the Format in use. Table 4-1 shows the data reporting structure for each of the pulsed formats as well as the Ademco Express Formats. Ademco Express Formats allow a typical data message to be transmitted to the Central Station in under 5 seconds. Pulsed for- mats typically require 15 to 20 seconds in comparison.

Remote Site Upload/Download Remote Site Upload/Download CHAPTER 5 The 411UD digital communicator may be programmed off site via the public switched telephone network. Any per- ® ® sonal computer with Windows 3.1 or greater or Windows 95, with a 1200 Baud Hayes compatible modem and Upload/Download software P/N PK-411, may serve as a Service Terminal.
General With program address location 64 set to '1' in Program Mode, anytime a contact with callback is initiated, the com- municator will first either contact the primary Central Station or contact both the primary and secondary Central Sta- tions or contact the first available Central Station phone number to report a 'request for upload/download' message (depending upon the program entry in address location 137).
Downloading to the Communicator Central Station Acknowledge There is an option whereby the communicator will report to one or both Central Stations that a request for upload- ing or downloading has been received prior to processing the call. This is called the 'callback' option. If the Cen- tral Station(s) does not acknowledge receipt of this request, uploading or downloading is prohibited.
Simultaneous Data Transfers Once an incoming call is accepted/answered by the communicator, the 411UD will: Establish basic modem connection Verify secret code Verify callback vs. no callback request from the Service Terminal. If callback is requested, perform steps 4 through 10; if no callback is requested, perform steps 9 and 10 only. Identify the Service Terminal location Hang-up/disconnect call Call the Central Station(s) and transmit a request for upload/download message (if programmed to do so).
