Figure 18 - Typical ARC alarm log for Redcare Secure dial capture alarms during
commissioning
Actual alarms will be dependent on panel type and protocol.
If the ARC receives a Bad Panel Checksum Error, the panel is not transmitting in a
format known to the Redcare Secure unit
If the ARC receives a Panel Type Mismatch Error, the Redcare secure unit is not
configured for the correct panel format.
Communication fault testing
Disconnect the wireline path connection and confirm that the correct alarm is received at the ARC
Secure 2 & 3
Pin 955 after 120 seconds, Restore after 30 seconds
Secure IP
Pin 1023 after <60 seconds, restore after < 60 seconds
Notes
A PSTN voltage fail alarm (955) will be generated by the unit, and generally signalled over
the GPRS path, if the PSTN voltage stays below 1.5V for 120s. A restore will be signalled
after 30s of the PSTN voltage returning to normal. (Default settings)
The transmission path of messages can be identified at the ARC by looking at the receiver
number, generally within the raw message data. (13 = Wireline, 23 = GPRS).
Configuring the panel to communicate with the Redcare Secure dial capture port
If the alarm panel is being connected to the unit using the Dial Capture port, then the following
configuration should be entered into the alarm panel:
