Communicator Call Direction Options . . . . . . . Section [361] to [368]
Pager Format
The Communicator Format option for either telephone
number can be programmed for Pager Format. If an event
occurs and the Communicator Call Direction options
direct the call to a telephone number with the Pager Format
selected the panel will attempt to page.
When calling a pager extra digits will be required to make it
work properly.The following is a list of Hex digits and what
function they perform:
Hex [A] - not used
Hex [B] - simulates the [] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [E] - two second pause
Hex [C] - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone telephone
Hex [F] - end of telephone number marker
Hex [D] - forces the panel to search for dial tone
The panel will attempt to call the pager one time. After dial-
ing the digits in the telephone number the panel will send
the account number and reporting code followed by the [#]
key (Hex [C]).
There is no ringback when using Pager Format. The panel
has no way of confirming if the pager was called success-
fully; a failure to communicate trouble will only be generated
once the maximum number of attempts has been reached.
NOTE: Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when using
Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C will be interpreted as a
[#], which will terminate the page before it has finished.
NOTE: If the panel detects a busy signal, it will attempt to page
again. It will make the maximum number of attempts pro-
grammed in section [165].
Force dialing should be disabled when using Pager format.
NOTE: When using Pager format, you must program two hex
digit E’s at the end of the telephone number.
Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the panel will com-
municate using the following:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 10 or 20 bits per second
• non-extended
The digit ‘0’ will send no pulses and is used as a filler. When
programming account numbers enter four digits. When pro-
gramming a three digit account number the fourth digit must
be programmed as a plain ‘0’ which will act as a filler digit.
If an account number has a ‘0’ in it, substitute a HEX digit ‘A’
for the ‘0’. Examples:
• 3 digit account number [123]- program [1230]
• 3 digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
• 4 digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
When programming reporting codes two digits must be
entered. If one digit reporting codes are to be used the sec-
ond digit must be programmed as a ‘0’. If a ‘0’ is to be trans-
mitted substitute a HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
Examples:
• 1 digit reporting code [3] - program [30]
• 2 digit reporting code [30] - program [3A]
To prevent the panel from reporting an event program the
reporting code for the event as [00] or [FF].
Telephone Line Monitoring (TLM)
When the TLM Enable option is selected, the panel will
supervise the telephone line and will indicate a trouble con-
dition if the telephone line is disconnected.
If the TLM Enable option is ON, the panel will check the tele-
phone line every 10 seconds. If the telephone line voltage is
below 3V for the number of checks programmed in the TLM
Trouble Delay section, the panel will report a TLM trouble.
The default number of checks is 10. Enter a number from
(000) to (255) in the TLM Trouble Delay section to change
the number of checks before the TLM trouble is reported.
Programming a delay means that a momentary interruption
of the telephone line will not cause a trouble condition.
If the TLM Trouble Beeps When Armed option is enabled,
the panel will indicate a TLM trouble at the keypad while the
system is armed. To activate the bell output in the case of a
TLM trouble while the system is armed, the TLM Audible
(Bell) When Armed option must be selected.
When the trouble condition is restored, the panel can send a
TLM Restoral reporting code. Any events which occur while
the telephone line is down will also be communicated. If an
alternate communicator is being used, the panel can be pro-
grammed to report a TLM Trouble Reporting Code.
