5. Options for various protocols
Protoc Opt
In this section the options of the various protocols are programmed. For information on the various protocols
see Appendix 1, 'Protocols.'
5.1. Options for Fast Format
Fast Format
This is used to program the options for fast format protocols. The dialler can be set for 1400/2300
Aritech protocol (8 and 16 channels) or Scancom 1600/2300 (8 and 16 channels). These protocols are
also called Scancom 1400 Superfast and Scancom 1600 Superfast.
5.1.1. Assign a channel to an event
Channels Options
When an activation occurs it is sent to Central Station on a set channel. This option allows the
engineer to select a channel for an event. The normal settings in the UK are: Fire channel 1, PA
channel 2, Burglary alarm channel 3, and Opening/closing channel 4.
If the system is configured for more than one area, there are two ways of identifying the
activated areas: by allocating each area a different account number, or by allocating different
channels to the areas in the “Channel Areas” menu. The method selected must be agreed with
Central Station prior to programming.
