System Communication

This section provides an explanation of formats this system accommodates for reporting alarms and
other system conditions to the central station. The process of a successful transmission consists of
both the method of communication between the control panel and the central station receiver, and
the actual way the information is sent and displayed at the central station.
Communication Overview
When the panel calls the central station receiver, it waits to hear a "handshake" frequency from the
receiver to confirm that the receiver is on-line and ready to receive its message. Once the panel
hears the handshake it is programmed to listen for, it sends its message. The panel then waits for a
"kissoff" frequency from the receiver acknowledging that the message was received and understood.
3
If the handshake frequency is not given or is not understood by the panel, the panel will not send its
message. Once the handshake frequency is received and understood by the panel, the panel will
send its message. If there is an error in the transmission (the receiver does not receive a "valid"
message), the kissoff frequency will not be given by the central station receiver.
The panel will make eight attempts to the primary telephone number and eight attempts to the
secondary telephone number (if programmed) to get a valid message through. If the panel is not
successful after its numerous attempts, the keypad will display "FC." If the secondary number is a
pager, "FC" displays after the first 8 attempts to the primary number.
The following chart defines the three sets of (handshake/kissoff) frequencies that the panel supports, and
the different formats that can be sent for each.
