Operation
The SA-DACT provides communications between the control
panel and the central station over a telephone line system. The
DACT transmits system status changes (events) to a
compatible digital alarm communicator receiver over the public
switched telephone network. The DACT queues messages and
transmits them based on priority (alarm, supervisory, trouble,
disable, test, monitor, and system). The dialer is capable of
single, dual, or split reporting of events to two different account
and telephone numbers. The modem feature of the DACT can
also be used for uploading and downloading panel
configuration, history, and current status to a PC running the
configuration utility. The modem feature uses line 1 only.
Note: The SA-DACT is compatible with Contact ID (CID) only.
Installation
The DACT is installed on the plastic assembly and connects to
the main circuit board via a ribbon cable.
To install the DACT:
1. Power down the panel and disconnect the batteries.
2. Locate the dialer card slot on the plastic assembly behind
the main circuit board and connector J8 on the main circuit
board (at the top-center of the main board).
3. Slide the DACT into the slot on the plastic assembly as
shown in the diagram.
4. Attach the DACT to the plastic assembly using two #6
plastite screws as shown in the diagram.
5. Connect the ribbon cable (P/N 7140188) from the DACT to
connector J8 on the main circuit board.
6. Connect the phone lines. See “Wiring.”
7. Power up the panel and connect the batteries.
