APPENDIX F
CENTRAL-STATION OPERATION
The ARIES™ Fire Alarm/Suppression Control Unit can be programmed for central-station
operation through the application-specific configuration software. Refer to the ARIES
Programmer's Guide to set up a control unit or a networked system for central-station operation.
Use a UL Listed and compatible digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT) to transmit the
alarm, supervisory, and trouble signals off-premises to the central station. The typical
interconnections between the ARIES Control Unit and the DACT are shown in Figure F-1.
Refer to the DACT installation manual to interface the DACT to the ARIES Control Unit and to
connect this equipment to the public switched telephone network for off-premises signal
transmissions.
