DACT Compliance report
The VM-DACT module provides dialer communications between the VM-1 control panel and remote locations
over telephone lines. During system programming, the VM-DACT can be automatically configured as an NFPA 72
compliant modem or manually customized (non-compliant). The DACT Compliance report lists the compliance
level of VM-DACT modules in a given panel.
Note: If “Fully Programmable” was selected in the VM-CU for the VM-DACT setting, the panel will report that the
module is noncompliant. However, individual correlations could have been written in the configuration utility that
make it compliant. In this case, check the VM-CU or contact the installer to determine settings.
To view the DACT Compliance report:
1. Access the Main Menu, and then select Reports.
2. Select DACT Compliance, and then enter the panel address.
3. Select Display.

Disabling and enabling devices
Devices include input and output circuits, detectors, and modules. Disabling a device isolates it from the system.
While the device is disabled, the VM-1 logs the status change signals but is prevented from processing the
signals from the device until the device is enabled. For example, the VM-1 does not activate an alarm event when
you activate a disabled detector, but it will after the detector is enabled.
The VM-1 keeps track of how many times you disable a device without enabling it. You must enable a device the
same number of times you disable it in order to return the device to its original condition.
Device addresses are listed in Appendix B “Addresses” on page 189.
Notes
• You cannot disable a device configured as a common alarm output.
• Disabling all of the devices in a zone group automatically disables the zone group. Enabling each device in a
zone group automatically enables the zone group.
