[C] RADIONICS
(2300 / 1400 Hz handshake*)
3/1 extended with parity format
[D] - [F] DO NOT USE
* See section [13] for Radionics handshake option.
Communications Compatibility
All these communication formats are compatible with the Silent Knight
model SK9000 and Ademco model 685 receivers. For UL installations,
ensure that the control unit is reporting to one of these receivers.
10 BPS and 20 BPS Formats
10 BPS is the standard slow format used on Silent Knight / Ademco
receivers. DATA = 1900 Hz; KISSOFF = 1400 Hz; SPEED = 10 baud
20 BPS is the standard fast format used on the DCI / Franklin / Sescoa and
Vertex receivers. DATA = 1800 Hz; KISSOFF = 2300 Hz; SPEED = 20 baud
Radionics Format
For conventional Radionics 3/1 format, the communications mode
should be set on either Radionics rounds [B] or Radionics parity [C].
The extended version of the Radionics format is normally used. The
following guidelines are provided to help in configuring the PC1550 for
Radionics format.
1. The customer account code must be only 3 digits with a zero
making up the 4th digit (i.e. Enter 1230 to program an account code
of 123).
2. The zone alarm reporting codes must all be single digit numerical
codes with no extended 2nd round being sent (i.e. Zone 1 = 10,
Zone 2 = 20... Zone 6 = 60). The zero in the 2nd digit position tells
the PC1550 not to send an extended round.
3. All other non-alarm reporting codes must be set up to send an
extended 2nd round. The 1st digit of the reporting code is used to
identify the event while the 2nd or extended digit is used to
associate the event with a particular item (i.e. A reporting code of
E3 means restore zone 3. E = restore, 3 = zone 3).
4. The following is a list of 1st digit identifiers that should be used with
the Radionics format.
Restorals “E”
i.e. E3 = restore zone 3
Openings “B”
i.e. B2 = opening by user 2
Closings “C”
i.e. C4 = closing by user 4
Troubles “F”
i.e. F5 = trouble from source 5
Miscellaneous “D”
i.e. D1 = partial closing
[24] Programmable Output Options
PGM Terminal
The PGM output can be programmed in this section to operate in
response to various panel operations. The output pulse connects the
PGM terminal to the negative power rail.
[01] Ground Start Pulse
This option provides a 2-second output pulse before dialling
begins to obtain the dial tone on Ground Start telephone
equipment.
[02] Utility Output, no Access Code
When activated by entering [
✱
][7], the PGM output will go low for
5 seconds and the keypad buzzer will sound.
[03] Utility Output, any Access Code
The same as [02], except the command is [
✱
][7] [any valid
access code].
[04] 5-Second Reset Pulse
When this option is selected, the PGM output is normally low. That
is, it is just the reverse of all other options which are normally high
and go low when activated. This option is normally used as the
negative return for power to 4-wire smoke detectors (positive
comes from the AUX + terminal). To activate this output (to reset
smoke detectors), enter the [
✱
][7] command. The PGM terminal
will go high (open circuit), and thus remove power from the
devices connected. The keypad buzzer will sound for the 5-
second period.
[05] Courtesy Pulse
This option provides an output which follows the entry and exit
times. It can be used to turn on a courtesy light near the exit door
for the duration of the entry / exit times.
[06] Keypad Buzzer Follow Mode
The PGM output will go low as long as the keypad buzzer is ON
for “24 Hour Buzzer Zone”, “Door Chime”, “Entry Delay” and
“Auto-Arm Alert”.
[07] System Status (Armed / Disarmed)
The PGM output switches to and remains at ground as long as the
panel is armed. The output goes high (open) while the panel is
disarmed.
[08] Strobe Output (Latched Alarm Output)
The PGM switches to ground on an alarm and remains low until
the panel is disarmed. It can be used to indicate that an alarm has
occurred before entering the premises.
[09] Failure to Communicate
The PGM output switches to ground if the systems fails to
communicate after 8 attempts to each phone number that will be
tried according to the communicator call direction options. The
output remains low until a successful communication takes place
or until trouble #4 is cleared from the keypad. This option can be
used to tie two systems together so that if one fails to communicate,
the other system will report the failure.
[0A] PGM ON during Entry Delay
The PGM output will be switched on for the duration of the Entry
Delay. This option may be used to provide lighting in the entrance
area, or to activate a device when the Entry Delay begins.
[0B] PGM ON during Exit Delay
The PGM output will be switched on for the duration of the Exit
Delay. This option may be used to provide lighting in the exit area,
or to activate a device when the Exit Delay begins.
[0C] LINKS1000 Interface
This option configures the system for use with the LINKS1000
Cellular Alarm Communicator. Refer to the LINKS Installation
Manual for further programming instructions.
[25] Communicator Call Directions
This section requires four single digit entries using digits 0 to 3 only.
This section defines how the communicator will call the telephone
numbers programmed in sections [01] and [03] to report the following
events:
Zone Alarms and Restorals
Access Codes Openings and Closings
Priority Alarms and Restorals
Maintenance Alarms and Restorals
Enter ONE digit from the list below for each of the above categories.
Factory default = 1 for all 4 code groups.
[0]
Disables the function (no transmission for the group)
[1]
Call 1st phone number and back-up to the 2nd phone number
when section [13] light 1 is set to OFF and the panel has made
8 unsuccessful tries on the 1st phone number.
[2]
Call the 2nd phone number only
[3]
Always call both phone numbers
If [#] is pressed during data entry, you will be returned to the installer’s
programming mode and data for this section will NOT be saved.
[26] Downloading Telephone Number
This telephone number is used by the panel to call the downloading
computer when a request to call is make by entering [
✱
][4] or for an
auto-download. See section [14] 3rd System Option Code, lights 2 and
3. See section [01] 1st Phone Number for instructions on programming
the downloading telephone number.
[27] Downloading Access Code
