ate the zone or access code number. See Appendix A for a
list of the codes which will be transmitted.
NOTE:If the Automatic Contact ID option is selected, the panel
will automatically generate all zone and access code numbers,
eliminating the need to program these items.
If the Contact ID uses Programmed Reporting Codes
option is enabled, 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 any-
thing from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the programmed
reporting code.
Additional Notes on Contact ID
1. Account numbers must be four digits.
2. All reporting codes must be two digits.
3. Substitute the Hex digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
4. To prevent the panel from reporting an event, the reporting
code should be programmed as [00].
Please refer to Appendix A for a list of Contact ID Identifiers.

SIA
SIA is a specialized format that will communicate information
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 two digit reporting code is used to identify the zone or
access code number.
NOTE: If the Automatic SIA option is selected, the panel will
automatically generate all zone and access code numbers,
eliminating the need to program these items.
If the SIA Sends Automatic Reporting Codes 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 any-
thing from [01] to [FF], the panel will automatically gener-
ate the zone or access code number and send the
reporting code.
If the SIA Sends Programmed Reporting Codes option is
enabled, 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 any-
thing from [01] to [FE], the panel will send the programmed
reporting code.
Please refer to Appendix A for a list of SIA identifiers.

Pager Format
The communication format option for either telephone number
can be programmed as Pager format. If an event occurs and
the Communicator Call Direction options direct the call to a
telephone number with the Pager Format selected, the panel
will attempt to page.
When calling a pager, extra digits will be required in order for
the format to function properly. The following is a list of Hex
digits and the functions they perform:
Hex [B] - simulates the [*] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [F] - marks the end of the telephone number
The panel will attempt to call the pager once. Once the appro-
priate telephone number is dialed, the panel will send the
account number and Reporting Code followed by the [#] key
(Hex [C]).
The panel has no way of confirming if the pager was called
successfully. A Failure To Communicate trouble will only be
generated if the panel detects a busy tone on all dialing
attempts, or if no dial tone is detected on all dialing attempts.
The pager format will not cause any form of ringback.
NOTE:Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when using
Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C will be interpreted as
a [#] which will terminate the page before it has finished.
NOTE:If the panel detects a busy signal, it will attempt to page
again. It will make the maximum number of attempts pro-
grammed in section [160].
NOTE:Force dialing should be disabled when using Pager for-
mat.
NOTE:When using Pager format, you must program two hex
digit E’s at the end of the telephone number
NOTE:The Pager Format cannot be used with the GSM1000
cellular communicator.
Residential Dial Format
The Residential Dial format allows the communication of
events directly to a user over a telephone line. When an event
occurs that the panel is programmed to communicate, the
panel seizes the line and dials the programmed telephone
number(s). The panel then emits a double beep on the line
every 3 seconds. This indicates to the user receiving the call
that the control panel is calling.
The user must acknowledge the call by pressing 1, 2, 4, 5, 7,
8, 0, * or # from any touchtone telephone. The panel will wait
for this acknowledgment for the duration of Post Dial Wait for
Handshake timer.
Once the panel receives the handshake, it will emit an alarm
tone over the telephone line for 20 seconds. If several alarms
occur at the same time, only one call will be made to each
telephone number the panel is programmed to call.
NOTE: The keys 3, 6 and 9 are not valid handshakes.
NOTE: If the panel fails to communicate in Residential Dial
mode, the FTC trouble will not latch.
5.6.1 Robofon Format
When the PC5015 acts as a Robofon dialer, it can receive the
following ASCII signals using ODD parity:
1. HANDSHAKE: 77 Hex, received as F7 hex
2. ACK: 06 Hex, received as 86 Hex
3. NAK: 15 Hex, received as 15 Hex
The data is received as 1000Hz tones at 20ms/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 trans-
mitted least-significant-bit first.
The data is transmitted in the following format:
S D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 EXT CHKSUM
Where
S = 55 hex as start signal.
D1 = 30 hex, as the first digit of the account code.
D2 = 30 hex, as the second digit of the account code.
D3 - D6 = 3X hex, as the following four digits of the
account codes, X = 0 - 9
D7 - D8 = 3X hex, as the two digits of the report codes.
X= 0 - 9, A - F.
