Section 1 - Introduction 1.1 Features The SG-System II is a single line network receiver intended for remote monitoring of commercial fire and burglary systems. The system can be configured for “desktop stand-alone” operation (vertical stacking of up to 4 systems) or rack mounting. The SG-System II can monitor up to 1536 accounts including 512 supervised accounts.

Table 7: SG-System II Front and Rear Panel Descriptions Item No. Indicator/ Control/ Connector State/Pin Description ACK Interface Button/LED FLASHING Indicates unit is in Manual Mode and waiting for acknowledgement. There are no alarm events requiring acknowledgement. The ACK button is used to acknowledge an alarm event in Manual Mode. It cannot acknowledge all alarms with one press, but must be pressed for each individual alarm.
2.2 Set Up and Testing DSC recommends testing the receiver before actual installation. Becoming familiar with the connections and setup of the unit on the workbench will make final installation simpler. The following items are required: • IEC Power Supply cord •...
Section 3 - Operation/Operating Modes There are two main categories of operating modes, Native and Program Modes. 3.1 Active Mode Active Mode is the normal operating mode. The SG-System II is in Active mode when any of the Automation Ports are present and respond- ing to signals.
Select the Exit Menu and press the ENTER button. You will return to the View or Change Options level. Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons simul- taneously - regardless of your place within View or Change Options - will take you to the Top Level menu. View Printer Buffer The bottom line of the LCD is cleared when View Printer Buffer is entered.
3.3.5 Miscellaneous LED Indicators View Trouble To enter View Trouble, the unit must first be in Active mode or Manual mode, and have no events to be acknowledged in Manual mode. Press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously to enter View Trouble. Once there, the UP and DOWN buttons can be used to review the list of trou- bles.

4.2 System Options Option [001]: LAN IP Address Default (10.0.7.100) Enter the IP address of the SG-System II. The IP address must be entered as a dotted decimal number (e.g. 255.255.001.000). Each three-digit segment of the IP address must be within a valid range of 000 to 255. NOTE: The SG-System II must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
Option [009]: Automation Parity Default (0) This option determines the parity of serial port 1. Table 8: Automation Parity Value Degree of Parity No parity Odd parity Even parity NOTE: The number of stop bits can not be changed and will always be 2. NOTE: The SG-System II must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
Option [013]: Buzzer Tone Default (00) A tone will sound when the SG-System II, having received an alarm, is unable to forward the alarm message to either the Serial or TCP/IP automa- tion paths (while in Manual mode). You are able to manipulate this tone via Option [013]. The tone generated will continue to pulse until all unacknowledgedevents have been acknowledged by the user;...
Option [025]: Mask SG Serial Default (OFF) Use this option to enable the SG Serial trouble mask. If enabled, trouble conditions are not reported. OFF - Condition reported ON - Condition not reported (masked) UL864 Programming Requirements on page 2 Option [028]: Mask TCP Printer Default (OFF) Use this option to enable the TCP Printer trouble mask.

Option [030]: Printer Mode Default (LOOP) You can configure this option with an approach similar to the automation outputs of Option [02F] above, except that Fallback (01) and Auto- matic IP Fallback (04) are not available. The acceptable value is Loop (00). Note that Loop (00) transmits printer messages to each port in turn. The first port to respond will be used to process subsequent printer messages until it is no longer able to do so, at which point the next port in the loop will be employed.
Option [03B]: Last Message On Default (Off) When enabled, this option displays the most recent printer message on the lower line of the unit LCD. It will remain there until a new printer message replaces it. The automation condition - e.g. mode (Active / Manual) or slot (all / TCP / Serial) - does not have any effect on this fea- ture.Option [03C]: LCD Backlight Colour Default (Cyan) You can use this option to select the LCD backlight colour.
Option [043]: System Protocol ID Default (0) Use this option to determine the format that the system will use to deliver its internal messages. Automation software delivered since the year 2000 is more likely to take the ‘S’ value and to provide detailed information on events that have been generated. Older automation software will require that you input the ‘0’...
Option [10F]: Receiver Number Default: [01] The receiver number is used for sending signals to the central station software. Refer to the manuals for any central station automation software being used to determine if there are any special requirements for this number. Also, ensure that there are no duplicate receiver numbers used. Option [110]: Line Card Number - Table 1 Default (03) Use this option to provide each SG-System II line card with an identification code.
Option [11E]: Mask Unknown Account Default (OFF) Use this option to enable or disable the reporting of an unknown account report condition when the SG-System II receiver determines that it is from an invalid account (not in the Account table). The default value is appropriate in most situations, save those when a number unknown accounts are expected to be reported due to, for example, system testing or maintenance.
(up to 10 digits, depending on the status of Option [146]) and the SIM card number (21 digits). The automation soft- ware must support the protocol via the Sur-Gard output format for this option to work.
