Using the Configurator
19.11 UDACT
A UDACT (Universal Digital Alarm Communicator/Transmitter) is a device that communicates
alarms to a central monitoring station using the Contact ID or SIA communication formats.
The dialer can dial out on two phone lines. You must configure an account and specify the line
attributes for both. Line 2 can dial a cell phone. If this is the case the auto test can be reduced
from daily to monthly.
Node Group
Applies only to common control switches. The column displays the Node
Group to which the common control operation is to be limited. Global
means that the operation is system wide and is the default. If the user has
created Node Groups, then one of those groups can be chosen. The
common control then applies only to the member nodes of that group.
Priority
Specifies the priority to be given to digitized messages correlated to
correlatable switches. Choose from a range or priorities. -95% (lowest)
through Normal (default) to +95% (Highest). Activation of a switch with a
higher priority will cause its message to be played, and any lower priority
message will cease to play.
In a combined fire and Mass Notification System (M.N.S.) installation,
choose appropriate priorities. For example, if risk analysis has determined
that M.N.S. has priority over fire, assign a higher priority to all M.N.S.
digitized message switches. Within M.N.S. relative priorities can be set, so
that higher priority messages will have precedence over lower priority
messages.
Code
If the Type is Zone Switch and Coded System is specified, then Code is
displayed and editable as for an Input Circuit.
F1
If the item is a switch, then this column can be set to ER (enable required),
meaning that it requires a passcode.
F2
For bypass and manual switches, this column can be set to AR (Aux Reset
Required). For correlatable switches it can be set to NS (non-silenceable)
F3
For correlatable switches this column can contain GA (stage two, general
alarm device). For bypass and manual push switches, it can be set to SR
(System Reset Required).
Tag 1
Except for Common Controls, System Status and Man Ena, a 20 character
tag can be entered. It will be used to identify the control in messages. For
some Type/Assignment combinations the tag cannot be edited.
Tag 2
Correlatable Switches (being analogous to Input Zones) accept a second
line of 20 characters.
