Example: If you program the zone 3 alarm reporting code as [31],
the panel will send event code 1 in channel 3. The panel will send
the number 5 for each of the other channels, so that the event
code will look like:
5 5 1 5 5 5 5 5
The panel will send the status code (i) based on the status of the
zone:
7 = Alarms, Tampers, Restorals, Openings & Closings
8 = Trouble or Trouble Restoral
9 = Test Transmission.
Example: If there is an alarm on Zone 3 the panel will send:
a a a a5 5 1 5 5 5 5 57
To disable communication for specific events, program ‘00’ or ‘FF’
for the reporting code.
Robofon Format
The control panel can use ROBOFON communication format to
transmit alarm messages to a receiver. When the panel acts as
the ROBOFON dialer, it can receive the following ASCII signals
using ODD parity:
HANDSHAKE:77 Hex, actually received as F7 Hex.
ACK:06 Hex, actually received as 86 Hex.
NAK: 15 Hex, actually received as 15 Hex.
The data is received by the receiver as 1000Hz tones at 20 ms/
bit. A “0” in the bit pattern represents tone on for 20ms, and a “1”
in the bit pattern represents tone off for 20ms. The data bytes are
transmitted least-significant-bit (LSB) first. The data is transmitted
in the following format:
S D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 EXT CHKSUM
Where:
The panel will wait the programmed “Wait for Handshake” for the
initial handshake, it will wait 20 sec for any subsequent hand-
shake during the same phone call.
200 Baud FSK (CESA)
This format transmits with the LSB first in the data stream using 1
start bit, 8 data bits, and 2 stop bits (no parity).
The information transmitted is as follows:
• Five Digit Decimal Account Code
• One Digit Event Identifier
• Two Digit Zone Number (00-99)
• Eight Zeros (filler)
After the panel dials, this format looks for a 960 ms FSK hand-
shake at 1850 Hz for 15 ms, 1650 Hz for 15 ms, and 1850 Hz for
15 ms again repeated 32 times. The panel will proceed to send
its carrier by emitting 1180 Hz for a period of 800 ms to 1 second,
followed by the event utilizing 980 Hz for a Mark (1) and 1180 for
a Space (0) at 200 Baud. The panel will send the exact same
transmission twice in a row with a 600-800 ms pause. If the two
transmissions match exactly, the receiver will give acknowledge-
ment by giving the panel the same FSK pattern as the hand-
shake. The panel can then hang up, or repeat the process
indefinitely until it has no further events to transmit.
In the event that the two transmissions do not match, the panel
will re-transmit the transmission once if no kiss-off is received
after three seconds. The panel will repeat this a total of five times
before counting the round as a failed attempt.
The Event Identifier can represent one of the following events:
• 0 = Talk/Listen Audio Event (any event type)
• 1 = New Event (Alarm, Tamper, Trouble, etc.)
• 2 = Event Restore (Alarm Restore, Low Battery Restore,
etc.)
An option exists in Section [381] Option 5 ON that allows the iden-
tifiers for 1 Arming (Closings) and 2 Disarming (Openings) to be
reversed.
The following is a list of what hex characters are actually transmit-
ted by this format and what numbers they represent:
NOTE:
The Talk/Listen Audio Event overrides any other Event
Identifier.
The first five digits of the Account Codes must be used for proper
operation.
Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
When the TLM Enable option is selected, the panel will supervise
the telephone line and will indicate a trouble condition if the tele-
phone line is disconnected.
If the TLM Enable option is ON, the panel will check the telephone
line every 10 seconds. If the telephone line voltage is below 3V for
the number of checks programmed in the TLM Trouble Delay
section, the panel will report a TLM trouble. The default number of
checks is 10. Enter a number from (000) to (255) in the TLM Trou-
ble Delay section to change the number of checks before the TLM
trouble is reported. Programming a delay means that a momen-
tary interruption of the telephone line will not cause a trouble con-
dition.
If the TLM Trouble Beeps When Armed option is enabled, the
panel will indicate a TLM trouble at the keypad while the system is
armed. To activate the bell output in the case of a TLM trouble
while the system is armed, the TLM Audible (Bell) When Armed
option must be selected.
When the trouble condition is restored, the panel can send a TLM
Restoral reporting code. Any events which occur while the tele-
phone line is down will also be communicated. If an alternate
communicator is being used, the panel can be programmed to
report a TLM Trouble Reporting Code.
[351]-[376] - Communicator Call Directions
The control panel can call 2 different phone numbers and use the
alternate communicator as backup or as a redundant communica-
tor for events from each Call Direction group. The Third phone
number can only be used as a backup or alternate of the first.
Each report falls under one of the following 5 Groups:
1. Partition X Alarms & Restores
2. Partition X Openings & Closings
3. Partition X Tampers & Restores
4. System Maintenance Alarms & Restores
5. System Test Transmissions
Each group can be assigned to the following Call Directions
Option 1 - 1st Telephone Number (and 3rd Telephone Number if
enabled for Alternate or Backup)
Option 2 - 2nd Telephone Number
Option 3 - 1st Telephone Number via LINKS (and 3rd Telephone
Number if enabled for Alternate or Backup)
Option 4 - 2nd Telephone Number Via LINKS
Option 5 -Alternate Communicator. This allows the panel control
of what types of events the alternate communicator will transmit.
This Call Direction is enabled at default.
