Section 13: Downloading
NOTE: DLS2002 or higher is required. Downloading is not to be enabled on UL/ULC Listed systems.
13.1 Downloading Options
Automatic Upload of Event Buffer when %75 full
Ref #: [000300]
This option allows the installer to choose if the panel will
automatically call the downloading computer when the
Event Buffer %75 full event occurs. This option is indepen-
dent of the actual transmission of the Event Buffer %75 full
event (the event does not need to be transmitted for the
panel to perform the automatic upload). The panel will first
transmit the Event Buffer %75 full event (if enabled) and
then perform the automatic download.
Downloading Telephone Number
Ref #: [000302]
Enter the telephone number for the downloading computer
(only applies if the User Call Up, Periodic DLS, or DLS Call-
back option is enabled). For instructions on programming
telephone numbers, see 12.1 ‘Telephone Numbers‘.
Panel ID Code
Ref #: [000303]
The 4-digit panel identifier code will identify the panel to
the downloading computer. The panel ID code must be dif-
ferent for each panel if either User Call Up, Periodic DLS or
DLS Callback is used. The default setting is 4921.
Panel Downloading Access Code
Ref #: [000304]
This 4-digit code must be programmed the same as the
downloading access code in the computer file. If the codes
are different, the panel will NOT allow any uploading or
downloading to take place. The code is used to help ensure
the security of the system. The default setting is 4920.
Double Call Timer
Ref #: [000305]
This is the maximum time between two telephone calls
when the ’Double Call’ option has been enabled. Valid
entries are between 000 and 255 seconds. The default set-
ting is 060 (see ’Downloading Toggle Options – Double
Call’ below to enable the Double Call feature).
Number of Rings
Ref #: [000306]
This is the number of consecutive rings the panel must
detect before answering the call for downloading. Valid
entries are between 001 and 255 rings. The default setting is
008.
Downloading Toggle Options
Ref #: [000300]
Downloading to the panel is not enabled by default. Select
one or more of the following options to allow the computer
to communicate with the control panel. Use the [*] key to
toggle between [Y]es and [N]o to enable or disable each
option. Use the [<][>] keys to scroll through the available
options.

Double Call: If enabled, the panel will follow the double
call procedure. If the panel detects one or two rings on
the first call and then is called again within a pro-
grammed time, the panel will answer the second call on
the first ring. To program the Double Call Timer, see
’Downloading Options – Double Call Timer’ above. If
disabled, the panel will only answer after the pro-
grammed number of rings (default=No).
•DLS Callback
DLS CallbackDLS Callback
DLS Callback: If enabled, both the computer and the
panel will hang up after a connection is made. The com-
puter will then wait for the panel to call. If disabled, the
downloading computer will have immediate access to
the control panel once accepted as valid (default=No).
NOTE: If more than one computer is used for downloading,
callback should be disabled.
• Periodic DLS
Periodic DLSPeriodic DLS
Periodic DLS: This feature can be used to have the panel
periodically call the downloading computer. Upload/
download commands programmed in advance (batch
files) will be executed. See 13.2 ‘Periodic Call-up‘ for
programming the time and days when this will occur.
The computer must be waiting for a call in order for this
feature to work (default=No).

13.3 PC-Link
Ref #: [000307]
The PC-Link is an adapter that connects the control panel to
a computer to provide on-site downloading. With the PC-
Link, no modem is required. The time that is required to
complete a successful download is significantly reduced. A
serial cable is used to link the computer with the control
panel.
A connection to the DLS software will automatically be
made when the DLS initiates the connection.
For instructions on using the PC-Link, please consult your
DLS2002 Software (’Connecting Via PC-Link’).
