4.5 DEFINING COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS 
Preliminary Guidance 
This mode allows you to adapt the telephone 
communication parameters to the local requirements.  
Note: For all UL-certified systems, it is up to the 
installer to completely verify the compatibility between 
the DACT format and the receivers. 
Compatible central station receivers are: 
Osborne-Hoffman model 2000, Ademco Model 685, 
FBII Model CP220, Radionics Model D6500, Sur-Gard 
Model SG-MLR2-DG and Silent Knight Model 9500. 
IMPORTANT: In telephone / pager number locations and 
account number locations, you may be required to enter 
hexadecimal digits. In telephone number locations, these 
digits are used as codes to control the dialer: 
Hex.
Digit 
Keying 
Sequence 
Code 
Significance 
A <#> 
⇒
 <0> Applicable only at the beginning of a 
number - the dialer waits 10 seconds 
or waits for dial tone, whichever 
comes first and then dials. 
B <#> 
⇒
 
<1>  Inserts an asterisk (J)  
C <#> 
⇒
 <2>  Inserts a pound sign (#) 
D <#> 
⇒
 <3> Applicable only at the beginning of a 
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds 
for dial tone and goes on hook if none 
is received. 
E <#> 
⇒
 <4> 
pplicable only in the middle of the 
number - the dialer waits 5 seconds 
F <#> 
⇒
 <5>  Not applicable in phone numbers 
 
To enter a series of digits, use the following keys: 
<Numeric keypad> - to enter the number 
 - moves the cursor from left to right  
 
- moves the cursor from right to left 
 - deletes everything after the cursor (to the right). 
4.5.1 Autotest Time (fig. 4.5, location 01) 
Here you determine the time at which the telephone line 
will be tested and reported to the central station. 
4.5.2 Autotest Cycle (fig. 4.5, location 02) 
Here you determine the time interval between consecutive 
telephone line test messages sent to the central station. 
The control panel performs this at regular intervals to verify 
proper communications.  
The options are: test every 1, 5, 7, 14, 30 days and test off. 
4.5.3 Area Code (fig. 4.5, location 03) 
Here you enter the system tel. area code (up to 4 digits). 
4.5.4 Out Access No (fig. 4.5, location 04) 
Here you enter the number that is used as a prefix to 
access an outside telephone line (if exists). 
4.5.5 First Central Station Tel. (fig. 4.5, loc. 05)  
Here you program telephone number of the 1
st
 central station 
(including area code, 16 digit max) to which the system will 
report the event groups defined in memory location 11 (see 
note in fig. 4.5). 
4.5.6 First Account No. (fig. 4.5, location 06) 
Here you enter number that will identify your specific alarm 
control system to the first
 central station. The number 
consists of 4 or 6 hexadecimal digits (see note in fig. 4.5). 
4.5.7 2
ND
 Central Station Tel. (fig. 4.5, loc. 07) 
Here you program telephone number of the 2
nd
 central station 
(including area code, 16 digit max) to which the system will 
report the event groups defined in memory location 11 (see 
note in fig. 4.5). 
4.5.8 Second Account No. (fig. 4.5, loc. 08) 
Here you enter number that will identify your system to the 
2
nd
 central station. The account number consists of 4 or 6 
hexadecimal digits (see note in fig. 4.5). 
4.5.9 Report Format (fig. 4.5, location 09) 
Here you select the reporting format used by the control panel 
to report events to central stations (see note in figure 4.5). 
The options are:  Contact-ID  SIA  4/2 1900/1400  
4/2 1800/2300  Scancom (see Appendix C - code lists). 
4.5.10 4/2 Pulse Rate (fig. 4.5, location 10) 
Here you select the pulse rate at which data will be sent to 
central stations if any one of the 4/2 formats has been 
selected in Location 09 REPORT FORMAT (see note in 
fig. 4.5). The options are: 10, 20, 33 and 40 pps. 
4.5.11 Reporting to Central Stations 
(fig. 4.5, location 11) (see note in fig. 4.5). 
Here you determine which types of event will be reported 
to central stations. Due to lack of space in the display, 
abbreviations are used: alarm is “alrm”, alert is “alrt” and 
open/close is “o/c”. The asterisk (J) is a separator 
between events reported to central station 1 and events 
reported to central station 2. 
Messages are divided by type into three groups: 
GROUP
  EVENTS REPORTED 
Alarms  Fire, Burglary, Panic, Tamper 
Open/Close  Arming AWAY, Arming HOME, Disarming  
Alerts  No-activity, Emergency, Latchkey 
"Alarm" group has the highest priority and "Alert" group 
has the lowest priority.  
The selectable options are as follows: 
 
Plan name  Sent to center 
1 
Sent to center 2 
all -o/c J backup  All but open/close  All but open/close if center 1 
doesn’t respond 
all J all  All   All 
all-o/c J all -o/c   All but open/close  All but open/close 
all –o/c J o/c   All but open/close  Open/close 
all (–alrt) J alrt  All but alerts  Alerts 
Alrm J all (–alrm)  Alarms  All but alarms 
Disable report  Nothing Nothing 
all J backup  All  All if cent. 1 doesn’t respond
Note: “All” means that all 3 groups are reported and also 
trouble messages - sensor / system low battery, sensor 
inactivity, power failure, jamming, communication failure etc. 
4.5.12 Report CNF Alarm (fig. 4.5, location 12) 
Here you determine whether the system will report whenever 
2 or more events (confirmed alarm) occur during a specific 
period (see par. 4.4.32 and note in figure 4.5).  
Available
 options are: enable report, disable report, enable 
+ bypass (enabling report and bypassing the detector - 
applicable to PowerMax+ that is compatible with DD423 standard). 
4.5.13 Send 2WV Code (fig. 4.5, location 13) 
Here you determine whether the system will send two-way 
voice code to the central station (to turn the central station 
from data communication to voice communication state) by 
using pre-selected SIA or Contact-ID communication format 
only (see note in fig. 4.5). Options: send and don't send. 
4.5.14 Two-Way Voice Central Stations 
(fig. 4.5, loc. 14). (See note in fig. 4.5). 
Here you select the timeout for 2-way voice communication 
with Central Stations, or enable the central station to ring 
back for 2-way voice function. This option is applicable only 
after reporting an event to the central station. (The central 
station person can press [3] for listen-in", [1] for "speak out" 
or [6] for listening and speaking). 
The options are: 10, 45, 60, 90 seconds, 2 minutes, ring 
back and disable (no two-way voice communication). 
 
In UL installations, this function must be disabled.  
Note: If "Ring Back" is selected, you should select "Disable 
Report" for private telephone (see par. 4.5.20 - Reporting to 
Private Telephones), otherwise the central station will 
establish communication with the PowerMax+ (after an 
event occurrence) in the normal manner (and not after one 
ring).
