4.2 DACT-E3 Contact ID Event Reporting Codes in CAMWorks
In the CAMWorks program, there are two types of formats used to configure the DACT-E3 Contact ID Event Reporting Codes.
4.2.1 Standard Formats
The DACT-E3 can be configured to allow each SLC device to report an event by selecting the DACT Reporting Feature. To
define the Standard format for the ILI-E3/ILI95-E3 Series panel or SLP-E3 panel, enable the Standard Reporting Codes in
the DACT Report Format Section of the DACT Settings screen in CAMWorks. The Custom DACT Reporting Feature is
usually disabled by default. If you disable the Custom DACT Reporting Feature, the system uses the Standard Codes. For
information on the DACT-E3 Contact ID Event Reporting Codes for Standard Formats, refer to Table 4.2.1.1. Figure 4.2.1.1
illustrates an example of the DACT-E3 Contact ID Reporting Codes for Standard formats used to configure the following
types of systems.
