Pulse Formats
Depending on the pulse format selected the system will communicate using the fol-
lowing:
• 3/1, 3/2, 4/1 or 4/2
• 1400 or 2300 Hz handshake
• 20bps
• non-extended
Additional Notes on Pulse Formats
1. The digit ‘0’ will send no pulses and is used as a filler.
2. When programming account numbers enter four digits.
3. When programming a three digit account number the fourth digit must be pro-
grammed as a plain ‘0’ which will act as a filler digit.
4. If an account number has a ‘0’ in it, substitute the HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’.
Examples:
■
3 digit account number [123] - program [1230]
■
3 digit account number [502] - program [5A20]
■
4 digit account number [4079] - program [4A79]
5. When programming reporting codes two digits must be entered. If one digit
reporting codes are to be used the second digit must be programmed as a ‘0’. If
a ‘0’ is to be transmitted substitute the HEX digit ‘A’ for the ‘0’. Examples:
■
1 digit reporting code [3] - program [30]
■
2 digit reporting code [30] - program [3A]
6. To prevent the system from reporting an event, program the reporting code for
the event as [00] or [FF].
Contact ID
Contact ID is a specialized format that will communicate information quickly using
tones rather than pulses. In addition to sending information more quickly the format
also allows more information to be sent. For example, rather than reporting an alarm
zone 1 the Contact ID format can also report the type of alarm, such as Entry/Exit
alarm zone 1.
If
Contact ID Sends Automatic Reporting Codes
is selected, the system will auto-
matically generate a reporting code for each event. These identifiers are listed in
Appendix A. If the Automatic Contact ID option is not selected, reporting codes must
be programmed. The 2-digit entry determines the type of alarm. The system will auto-
matically generate all other information, including the zone number.
NOTE:
If the Automatic Contact ID option is selected, the system will auto-
matically generate all zone and access code numbers, eliminating the need
to program these items.
NOTE:
Regardless of the zone type programmed, the system will report all
zones as burglary zones when Automatic Contact ID is selected. If you need to
report other zone types, you must use Programmed Contact ID reporting codes.
NOTE:
The zone number for Zone Low Battery and Zone Fault events will
not be identified when Programmed Contact ID is used.
If the
Contact ID uses Automatic Reporting Codes
option is enabled, the system
will operate as follows:
