Communicator Miscellaneous
Program other options relating to the communications of the panel including DTMF attempts,
swinger shutdown limit, AC failure and zone transmission delay.
The number of attempts using DTMF dialing (e.g. a touch tone phone) before switching to pulse
dialing (e.g. a rotary phone). Enter a three digit number from 000 to 010 attempts. Note that the
PC4010 will only call a number 10 times before a Failure to Communicate trouble occurs. By
default, the panel will have 4 attempts of DTMF dialing before pulse dialing. If “DTMF DIALING” is
not enabled, the panel will only pulse dial.
Enter the number of alarm/restore pairs the panel will communicate per zone before
communications for that zone shut down. The bell will also shut down if so programmed (see
“BELL SHUTDOWN”). Valid entries are from 000 to 255. The default setting of swinger shutdown
is 003. Entering 000 in this section will disable swinger shutdown. See “SWGR SHUT DOWN” to
enable swinger shut down on each zone.
Enter the time in hours and minutes, AC trouble on the main panel must be present before the AC
trouble reporting code will be communicated. Valid entries are from 0000 to 23:59. The default
setting is 0700.
Enter the time in seconds, the panel will delay communication of an alarm zone. Valid entries are
from 000 to 255. The default setting is 000. If the panel is disarmed within the programmed time,
no alarm communication will be sent. See “TX DELAY?” under zone toggle options to enable the
transmission delay on each zone.
This option will not be supported with DVAC. Zone events programmed to follow TX Delay will be
sent immediately regardless of what the TX Delay is set for.
Test Code Transmission
Test Code Transmission. Programs items regarding the test transmission of the panel. To send a
test transmission, the time of day, the number of days between test transmissions and the test
transmission reporting codes must be programmed. Also the “PERIODIC TX?” comms toggle
options must be enabled.
Enter the number of days between test code communications. Valid entries are from 001 to 255.
The default setting is 030.
Enter the time of day the test code will be communicated. Times are entered using military format
HH:MM. The default setting is 0000.
Reporting Codes
Reporting codes are 2 digit codes which are sent to the receiver at the monitoring station along
with the customer ID code for each transmission. They identify the type of alarm to the receiver
(See “Comms Format”). Once you have selected which group of reporting codes to program, use
the arrow keys to toggle through the reporting codes, and enter in a 2 digit number. If you are
sending a 3/1 or 4/1 format where the reporting code needs to only be one digit, program the one
digit followed by a “0”. For example, if you want to send a “5” to the monitoring station, program
“50” into the reporting code. To disable a reporting code, program it with FF (default setting).
Pressing the [Q] key when entering the code will call up a menu for hex digit entry and to “Save
and Exit” from the Reporting Codes menu.
Note: When programming Hex digits, the second Q is no longer used as in previous panel
versions i.e. PC3000 and PC2550. For example in the PC4010: Q 1 Q 2 is AB
Q 1 2 is A2
Alarm Reporting Codes for Zones 01 to 64. Momentary and maintained arm zones will send the
reporting code programmed in this section for a closing.
Restoral Reporting Codes for Zones 01 to 64. See Restore on BTO and Rest on Disarm for when
the zone restoral will be sent to the monitoring station. Momentary and maintained arm zones will
send the reporting code programmed in this section for an opening.
