10.2 VDR RS422 Output Sentence Structure
The C1714 VDR interface module sends various sentences to the VDR regarding the status of the panel. These
sentences are detailed in the following subsections.
A ‘fire status’ sentence is transmitted every 10 seconds, which shows the current number of zones in alarm
(number of zones can be 0 to 32). This is used primarily to indicate to the VDR that the Interface module is
connected & transmitting data.
When a fire, fault or isolation event occurs on a zone, the appropriate sentence is transmitted. The clearing of
the fire, fault or isolation is also transmitted unless the panel is reset, in which case zonal fire clear & zone fault
clear messages are not sent; only the RESET message is sent.
Each sentence consists of a number of data fields separated by a comma. A checksum of the transmitted data
is attached to the end of the sentence.
