Contact ID Identifier Toggle Options
Partial Closing Identifier: This toggle option controls
whether the Partial Closing reporting code will be
transmitted with an identifier of 4 or 5 when using
Contact ID.
Opening After Alarm Identifier: This toggle option
controls whether the Opening After Alarm reporting
code will be transmitted with an identifier of 4 or 5
when using Contact ID.
SIA FSK
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate informa-
tion quickly using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) rather
than pulses. The SIA format will automatically generate
the type of signal being transmitted, such as Burglary, Fire,
Panic etc. The 2-digit reporting code is used to identify the
zone or user code number.
NOTE: If you use a communication format other than
Automatic SIA for any of the backup telephone num-
bers, make sure that the appropriate reporting codes
are programmed.
AutoRep SIA
Ref #: [000401] and scroll to option
If the SIA format is selected, the panel can be programmed
to automatically generate all zone and user code numbers,
thus eliminating the need to program these items.
If the ’AutoRep SIA’ toggle option is enabled, the panel
will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s reporting code is programmed as [00], the
panel will not attempt to call the central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as
anything from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically
generate the zone or user code number.
The Communicator Call Direction options can be used to
disable the reporting of events such as openings and
closings.
If the ’AutoRep SIA’ toggle option is disabled, the panel
will operate as follows:
1. If an event’s reporting code is programmed as [00] or
[FF], the panel will not attempt to call central station.
2. If the reporting code for an event is programmed as
anything from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the pro-
grammed reporting code.
For Communicator Toggle Option programming, please
see 12.4 ‘Communicator Toggle Options‘.
Zone Label Sent with Events
With this feature the installer can choose to have the zone
label transmitted along with the zone event, when using
SIA. When this option is enabled, whenever the panel
transmits an event which identifies the zone number it
will transmit the programmed label for that zone num-
ber immediately after the zone event. All fourteen char-
acters of the label will be transmitted even if the
programmed label is less than 14 characters.
The panel will do this by sending an asterisk before and
after the label.
NOTE: Installer must ensure that this feature is sup-
ported by the central station receiver(s).
SIA 1 Account#
Ref #: [000401] and scroll to option
If the ’SIA 1 Account#’ toggle option is enabled, the SIA
communication format will send the system ID code along
with the partition number with each data transmission. If
disabled, the communication format will use all eight Par-
tition ID codes to identify partition events. If this option is
enabled, partition account numbers are not required.
Please refer to Appendix A ’Reporting Codes’ and Appen-
dix B ’Zone Reporting Codes for a list of SIA identifiers.
SIA Transmission 4-Digit Option
This option controls whether the panel will transmit three
or four digits for the reporting code when using SIA. Four
digits are required to properly identify users 1000-1500.
Otherwise these users will be identified as 999.
NOTE: Before choosing this option, you must ensure
that this feature is supported by the central station
receiver(s).
Pager Formats
The Pager format can be used for latchkey operation to
notify a parent when a child comes home from school or
to notify a key holder that an alarm has occurred. In North
America, the Pager Format 3 should be used.
When programming the Pager telephone number, special
programming is required in order for the panel to transmit
the page successfully. Pauses, [*] key presses and [#] key
presses may be required. For more information about pro-
gramming these special items, see 5.1 ‘Zone Supervision‘.
The panel will only make one attempt to send a page for
each event. There are three types of pager formats:
Pager Format 1 (Semadigit) transmits seven DTMF
digits for each event. Each round transmits a 4-digit
account code followed by a 2-digit reporting code fol-
lowed by the DTMF Character [#]. Only one event is
communicated per call. This format requires an initial
handshake of 440Hz and a kissoff handshake of
1400Hz.
NOTE: Do not use this format in North America.
Pager Format 2 (Semaphone) transmits no data. The
system will call the number programmed once for every
event that occurs. This format is intended to be used
with a pager but can be used to call a private residence.
This format will sound the line every two seconds after
dialing the telephone number. Although events are not
identified, the recipient is made aware of an alarm. Only
one event is communicated per call. No handshake or
kissoff signals are required for this format.
NOTE: Do not use this format in North America. Do not
use this format with 1300 Hz ID.
Pager Format 3 is similar to Pager Format 1 except that
no handshake or kissoff signals are required.
NOTE: Do not use this format with 1300 Hz ID. UL has
only verified compatibility of the PC4020 v3.3 with the
Silent Knight model 9000, Ademco model 685, Linear
model 3060 and Radionics model D6500.
12.7 Reporting Codes
Reporting codes must be programmed in order for the
panel to report events to the central station.
Reporting codes are two digits and can use hexadecimal
digits A through F. Some communicator formats only
require one digit (see Section 12.6 ’Communicator For-
mats’). To disable a reporting code, program it with ’FF’
(default setting) or ’00’. Pressing the [*] key when enter-
ing the code will call up a menu for hex digit entry. For
instructions on programming HEX digits, see 3.4 ‘Pro-
gramming Hexadecimal Data‘.
All reporting codes are listed and described in Appendix
A ’Reporting Codes’.
