Dialer- Communicator; explanation and Programming
Series 2000 Defining the Communicator and Dialer feature
Communicator
The Communicator is in essence, a dialer that enables communications with a central station
digital receiver. The Communicator reports (upon programming) panel events such as Opening,
Closing, Alarm, and Low Battery.
The Communicator's programmable features enable compatibility with different central station
receivers. The receiver’s most important features are the Format (Radionics, Sescoa, etc.) and
Data Transfer Mode (1 x 3, 2 x 4).
The four programmable telephones in the 2000 Series (telephones 1 to 4) act as dialers, while Tel.
2 and 3 (Tel. 3 is backup for Tel. 2) are optional as communicator or dialer.
Program the communicator and dialer options at addresses 201 and 202. Do not program only
Telephone 3 as communicator. At alarm, Tel. 2 and 3 are in priority, if programmed as
communicator. The communicator phones are first to communicate (before dialer phones).
In the ‘Communicator’ mode, the panel will dial several times until the central station sends a
confirmation signal (Kiss-Off) that all events received. The Kiss-Off signal turns the
communicator off until the next event occurs. If the CS telephone number is busy, panel will re-
dial automatically. The number of dialing attempts (cycles) is programmable at address 087.
In case first central station telephone number (Tel. 2) does not get Kiss-Off after several attempts,
the system will dial the back-up number - Tel. 3. Program both Tel. 2 and Tel. 3 as communicator.
Program the same reporting format for Tel. 2 and Tel. 3. When the system is disarmed, AC Fail is
reported 30 minuets after power fail to prevent false alarms.
To cancel the communicator dialing: Enter to Program Mode and Exit program.
Dialer
The Dialer acts similarly to the communicator, except that the panel sends a recorded alarm tone
or vocal message with SVM-40/60, (not a digital signal) to a regular or mobile telephone. Unlike
the communicator, the dialer does NOT identify busy signals; program the dialer to re-dial several
times (default is 3 cycles). This feature is programmable at address 087. A ‘Follow-Me’ feature
(see explanation in Glossary section) is applicable only with the dialer, in alarm the Follow-Me
number dialed first if communicator not selected.
To cancel the dialer dialing: Arm and then Disarm the system.
Note: Upon alarm, the communicator has dialing priority over the dialer.
Programming Telephone Numbers
1. Enter Program mode as described in programming description.
2. Select Dialer or Communicator mode (addresses 201, 202). For dialer selection, enter 00 in
address 201 for Tel. 2, and in address 202 for Tel. 3. (Tel. 1 to 4 is in Dialer mode by default).
If communicator is selected, use both Tel. 2 & 3 (not Tel. 03 only). Tel. 3 is backup for Tel. 2.
