the duration of Post Dial Wait for Handshake timer. Once
the panel receives the handshake, it will emit an alarm tone
over the telephone line for 20 seconds. If several alarms
occur at the same time, only one call will be made to each
telephone number the panel is programmed to call.

Pager Format
The Communicator Format option for either telephone
number can be programmed for Pager Format. If an event
occurs and the Communicator Call Direction options
direct the call to a telephone number with the Pager Format
selected the panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager extra digits will be required to make it
work properly.The following is a list of Hex digits and what
function they perform:
Hex [A] - not used
Hex [B] - simulates the * key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [F] - end of telephone number marker
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager one time. After dial-
ing the digits in the telephone number the panel will send
the account number and reporting code followed by the [#]
key (Hex [C]).
There is no ringback when using Pager Format. The panel
has no way of confirming if the pager was called success-
fully; a failure to communicate trouble will only be generated
once the maximum number of attempts has been reached.
NOTE: Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when using
Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C will be interpreted as a
[#], which will terminate the page before it has finished.
NOTE: If the panel detects a busy signal, it will attempt to page
again. It will make the maximum number of attempts pro-
grammed in section [165].
Force dialing should be disabled when using Pager format.
When using Pager format, you must program two hex digit E's at
the end of the telephone number.
Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the panel will com-
municate using the following:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 10 or 20 bits per second
• non-extended
The digit '0' will send no pulses and is used as a filler. When
programming account numbers enter four digits. When pro-
gramming a three digit account number the fourth digit must
be programmed as a plain '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]
When programming reporting codes two digits must be
entered. If one digit reporting codes are to be used the sec-
ond digit must be programmed as a '0'. If a '0' is to be trans-
mitted 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].
Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
When the TLM Enable option is selected, the panel will
supervise the telephone line and will indicate a trouble con-
dition if the telephone line is disconnected.
If the TLM Enable option is ON, the panel will check the tele-
phone line every 10 seconds. If the telephone line voltage is
below 3V for the number of checks programmed in the TLM
Trouble Delay section, the panel will report a TLM trouble.
The default number of checks is 10. Enter a number from
(000) to (255) in the TLM Trouble Delay section to change
the number of checks before the TLM trouble is reported.
Programming a delay means that a momentary interruption
of the telephone line will not cause a trouble condition.
If the TLM Trouble Beeps When Armed option is enabled,
the panel will indicate a TLM trouble at the keypad while the
system is armed. To activate the bell output in the case of a
TLM trouble while the system is armed, the TLM Audible
(Bell) When Armed option must be selected.
When the trouble condition is restored, the panel can send a
TLM Restoral reporting code. Any events which occur while
the telephone line is down will also be communicated. If an
alternate communicator is being used, the panel can be pro-
grammed to report a TLM Trouble Reporting Code.
