Appendix B: Communicator Format Options

The following format options are programmable in Section
01
20 BPS, 1400 Hz handshake
20 BPS, 2300 Hz handshake
02
• BPS Formats - 0 is not valid in Account or Rep Code (A must be used).
Depending on the pulse format, the panel communicates using the following: 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2, 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake, 20 bits per second, non-extended.
Digit "0" sends no pulses and is used as a filler. When programming account numbers enter four digits. When programming a three digit account number the fourth
digit must be programmed as a "0" which will act as a filler digit. If an account number has a "0" in it, substitute a HEX digit "A" for the "0."
Examples:
• 3 digit account number [123]- program [1230]
• 3 digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
• 4 digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
Two digits must be entered when programming reporting codes. If one digit reporting codes are used, the second digit must be programmed as "0". If "0" is to be
transmitted, substitute a HEX digit "A" for the "0".
Examples:
• 1 digit reporting code [3] - program [30]
• 2 digit reporting code [30] - program [3A]
To prevent the panel from reporting an event, program the reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
03
DTMF Contact ID
• ADEMCO Contact ID - 0 is not valid in Account or Rep Code (A must be used, 10 in checksum)
Contact ID is a specialized format that communicates information quickly using tones rather than pulses. The format also allows more information to be sent. For
example, rather than reporting an alarm zone 1, the Contact ID format can also report the type of alarm, such as Entry/Exit alarm zone 1.
If Contact ID Sends Automatic Reporting Codes is selected, the panel automatically generates a reporting code for each event. These identifiers are listed in
Appendix A. If the Automatic Contact ID option is not selected, reporting codes must be programmed. The 2-digit entry determines the type of alarm. The panel auto-
matically generates all other information, including the zone number.
NOTE:If Automatic Contact ID is selected, the panel automatically generates all zone and access code numbers, eliminating the need to program these items.
NOTE:The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone Fault events will not be identified when Pulse formats are used.
If the Contact ID uses Automatic Reporting Codes option is enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
• If an event's reporting code is programmed as [00], the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
• If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FF], the panel automatically generates the zone or access code number. See Appendix A
for a list of transmitted codes.
If the Contact ID uses Programmed Reporting Codes option is enabled, the panel will operate as follows:
• If an event's reporting code is programmed as [00] or [FF], the panel will not attempt to call central station.
• If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the programmed reporting code.
Account numbers must be four digits:
• If the digit "0" is in the account number substitute the HEX digit "A" for the "0."
• All reporting codes must be two digits.
• If the digit "0" is in the reporting code substitute the HEX digit "A" for the "0."
• To prevent the panel from reporting an event, program the reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
See: Contact ID Sends Automatic Reporting Codes section [381], Option [7]
04
SIA FSK
• SIA -0 is valid in Account or Rep Code (not 00 in a Reporting code)
• SIA -0 uses 300 Baud FSK as the communication media. Account Code can be 4 or 6 hexadecimal digits. Reporting codes must be 2 digits. The SIA for-
mat transmits a 4 (or 6) digit account code, 2 digit identifier code and 2 digit reporting code. The 2 digit identifier is pre programmed by the panel.
SIA is a specialized format that communicates information quickly using frequency shift keying (FSK) rather than pulses. The SIA format automatically generates the type of
signal being transmitted, such as Burglary, Fire, Panic etc. The two digit reporting code is used to identify the zone or access code number.
If the SIA format is selected the panel can be programmed to automatically generate all zone and access code numbers eliminating the need to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is enabled the panel will operate as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FF] the panel will AUTOMATICALLY generate the zone or access code number.
3. During a partial closing, all bypassed zones are reported.
Communicator Call Direction Options can be used to disable reporting of events such as Openings/Closings. Also, if all the Opening/Closing reporting codes were
programmed as [00] the panel would not report.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes option is disabled the panel operates as follows:
1. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as [00] or [FF] the panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as anything from [01] to [FE] the panel will send the programmed reporting code.
3. During a partial closing, bypassed zones are not reported.
NOTE:The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone Fault events will not be identified when Programmed SIA is used.
