Cut-over Fire Alarm Panel lines to new DRI-9080 device.
PHASE 3
– (continued)
1. If the cable runs coming from the Fire Alarm Panel terminate in the telco closet/demarc/SNI to
an RJ-11 or RJ-45 patch-panel or surface-mount (SMT) jack:
a. Determine which jack is associated to the primary or secondary line from Fire Alarm
Panel and mark them respectively with new DataRemote DRI-9080 device telephone
numbers as noted in your checklist during
Step 1
tasks for DRI-9080's phone 1-2 ports
respectively.
b. Remove what's plugged into the Primarily marked jack now and plug one end of a
phone cord included in the kit into that jack and the other end into phone jack of the
DataRemote DRI-9080 device respective line for Fire Alarm
– primary dialer connection.
NOTE: Mark this phone 1 port's Phone cord w/ a "1" or "P" to reflect it connects to the
DRI-9080 device's Phone Alarm port.
c. Repeat with other included phone cord for secondary marked jack into phone 2 jack of the
DataRemote DRI-9080 device for Fire Alarm
– secondary dialer connection
NOTE: Leave it unmarked or place a "2" or an "S" on its Phone cord.
d. If cable runs coming from the Fire Panel terminate in the telco closet/demarc/SNI onto a
66 or 110 block, check the following:
• Determine which jack is associated with the primary or secondary line of Fire
Panel and mark them accordingly it if not already visible.
• Isolate the telco side connection from those two (2) pairs (i.e. lift bridging clips on
66-Block). Punch-down the two pairs of the new cable run to a dual SMT jack or
two (2) single-port SMT jacks (a.k.a. biscuit jacks)
• Determine and label each SMT jack cover with its DataRemote DRI-9080 device’s
telephone number plus some primary or secondary suffix - e:g.
678.555.1234 678.555.2468
FIRE PNL-Prim FIRE PNL-Sec
2. Mount the SMT Jack(s) somewhat near the DataRemote DRI-9080 device depending on 5' long
phone cord's reach and distance between 66-Blk & SMT box(es)
3. Using your cable tester, test both SMT jack terminations and take PHOTO of test results to add
to deliverables
(REQUIRED).
4. Using included phone cords with RJ-11 terminations, connect FXS alarm ports from DRI-9080
device to the FIRE-Primary & FIRE-Secondary SMT box respectively
5. Mark cables:
• Mark the DataRemote DRI-9080 device’s alarm line 1 port's phone cord with a "1" or "P"
to reflect its connection to the DataRemote DRI-9080 device's alarm line if it is
inadvertently removed it is clear where to reconnect it.
• Mark the DataRemote DRI-9080 device’s alarm 2 port's phone cord with a "2" or "S“ to
reflect it connects to the DataRemote DRI-9080 device's alarm line 2 port if it is
inadvertently removed it is clear where to reconnect it.
