required to properly identify users 1000-1500. Otherwise these
users will be identified as 999.
NOTE: Before choosing this option, you must ensure that this feature
is supported by the central station receiver(s).
Pager Formats
The Pager format can be used for latchkey operation to notify a
parent when a child comes home from school or to notify a key
holder that an alarm has occurred. In North America, the Pager
Format 3 should be used.
When programming the Pager telephone number, special pro-
gramming is required in order for the panel to transmit the page
successfully. Pauses, [*] key presses and [#] key presses may be
required. For more information about programming these special
items, see
5.1 ”Zone Supervision’.
The panel will only make one attempt to send a page for each
event. There are three types of pager formats:
• Pager Format 1 (Semadigit) transmits seven DTMF digits
for each event. Each round transmits a 4-digit account code
followed by a 2-digit reporting code followed by the DTMF
Character [#]. Only one event is communicated per call. This
format requires an initial handshake of 440Hz and a kissoff
handshake of 1400Hz.
NOTE: Do not use this format in North America.
• Pager Format 2 (Semaphone) transmits no data. The system
will call the number programmed once for every event that
occurs. This format is intended to be used with a pager but can
be used to call a private residence. This format will sound the
line every two seconds after dialing the telephone number.
Although events are not identified, the recipient is made aware
of an alarm. Only one event is communicated per call. No
handshake or kissoff signals are required for this format.
NOTE: Do not use this format in North America. Do not use this for-
mat with 1300 Hz ID.
• Pager Format 3 is similar to Pager Format 1 except that no
handshake or kissoff signals are required.
NOTE: Do not use this format with 1300 Hz ID. UL has only verified
compatibility of the PC4020 with the Silent Knight model 9000,
Ademco model 685, Linear model 3060 and Radionics model D6500.
12.7 Reporting Codes
Reporting codes must be programmed in order for the panel to
report events to the central station.
Reporting codes are two digits and can use hexadecimal digits A
through F. Some communicator formats only require one digit
(see Section 12.6 ’Communicator Formats’). To disable a report
-
ing code, program it with ’FF’ (default setting) or ’00’. Pressing
the [*] key when entering the code will call up a menu for hex
digit entry. For instructions on programming HEX digits, see
3.4
”Programming Hexadecimal Data’.
All reporting codes are listed and described in Appendix A
’Reporting Codes’.
