Option 172: SIA Option
Default (00000)
Use this option to convert incoming signals to SIA - Security Industry Association - protocol in order to read their contents. The values of
this option are bit selectable, meaning that more than one setting may be enabled. Each digit in the five-digit display corresponds to a partic-
ular setting. You can use the Up and Down arrow buttons to enable a bit by setting it to 1, or disabled by setting it to 0. After setting one
digit, the cursor will advance to the next digit to the right. For example,
The selectable possibilities are listed below:
Bit0 - Force SIA Zone Number
The unit will decode SIA alarms sent without zone numbers and add ‘00’ before it is sent to the automation software output.
E.g. [#1234|NriBA] becomes [#1234|NriBA00]
E.g. [#1234|NBA/BH] becomes [#1234|NBA/BH00]
Bit1 - Convert SIA Account A’s
Any account digits received as an ‘A’ will be converted to 0.
E.g. [#A123|NriBA01] becomes [#A123|NriBA01]
Bit2 - Convert Pulse Formats to SIA
All Pulse format printer and computer outputs will be converted to SIA, in a two-step conversion process. The automation output will use the
protocol ID of ‘R’.
First, the type of alarm is determined by Options 30 - 5F, 70.
Second, the type of alarm is mapped to a SIA output as per the table below.
E.g., 12341 becomes 1234 A 1, then [#1234|NBA1]
