The on-board Telecom module allows two-way communication via the telephone network. This can be used:
•
to transmit alarm and event signals to ARCs, (Alarm Receiving Centers), supporting a number of
signaling formats.
•
to remotely service the GX-Series control panel via a PC with Remote Servicing Software installed.
NOTE: When using the Telecom module as a digital communicator to signal alarms and events to ARCs or to a
PC with Alarm Monitoring software installed, the Format, Telephone Number 1 and Account Number
required to be programmed. Programming of the remaining options is either optional or not required.
56.1.01 Format
The Telecom module provides 4 signaling formats:
•
DTMF*
•
SIA*
•
Microtech*
•
Contact ID
{*Not evaluated by UL.}
Once the format has been selected, the alarm and event triggers that the panel will transmit to the ARCs
may be programmed.
1 = DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency)
When DTMF format is selected, the operation of the Telecom module is similar to that of a hardwired 8 or 16
channel communicator. The Telecom module transmits as an eight channel communicator if channels 9 - 16
are programmed as Spare.
NOTES: 1. DTMF is fast format
2. A battery low condition occurring on the GX-Series panel is always sent to the ARC as a code 8 in
the status channel. This may cause problems for some ARCs. If a channel is assigned as Battery
Low, then both the channel and the code 8 in channel 9 are transmitted.
Programming Channels
On selecting DTMF, the keypad displays 1 = Channels 1 – 16. All 16 channels can be individually
programmed. To access the Channels option press the ent key; the programming details of the first channel
are displayed. Select the required channel using the A> and <B keys or by entering the channel number
directly and press the ent key.
CHANNEL OUTPUT FUNCTION
Channels 1-16
Each channel can be programmed with the following attributes:
1 = Output function
2 = Output mode
3 = Output Polarity
4 = Diag Recording
5 = Descriptor
6 = Lighting
7 = Output Groups
1 = Output Function
Any of the system output functions (see option 53 = Program Outputs) can be assigned to each of the
channels 1 – 16. Channel 3 defaults to output function 04 = INTRUDER. All other channels default to
11=SPARE. Select the required output function using the A> and <B keys or by entering the function
number directly. Once the required function is displayed, press the ent key to assign the function to the
