Reporting Messages to a Pager

PowerMax+
control
panel
Since the PowerMax+ can be programmed to report
events to a pager, the user of the pager must be
informed on how to interpret the numerical message
that his pager displays.
Communication with a pager takes place as follows:
•
The PowerMax+ dials the pager's phone
number, waits 5 seconds and sends the
numerical message.
•
The message transmitted by the PowerMax+ to
the pager is actually a string of digits, as follows:
[ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ]
Pager's PIN No. - Up to 16 digits
Programmed by the Installer
Figure 6 . Pager Message Structure
The person receiving the message sees only the
"YYY -0ZZ#" part of the message, which he can
interpret by using the following legend:
Events types (YYY) are coded as follows:
Event Code
Alarm 919
Trouble 818
Emergency 717
Panic 616
ZZ is the zone number in which the event occurred,
or the user number in case of Close, Open and
Latchkey events.
Example 1: Message reads "919-003":
This means an alarm occurred in Zone No. 3.
Example 2: Message reads "101-008":
This means the system was closed (armed) by user
No. 8.
