4.1
Dialing
If the
Communicator Disable
option is selected, the panel will not attempt to call central station. If
communication is enabled, the panel will attempt to call central station when an event with a valid Reporting
Code occurs (See Section 4.4 “Reporting Codes”).
The
Communicator Call Direction
Options are used to select which phone number the panel will dial when an
event occurs.
If the
DTMF Dialing
option is enabled, the panel will dial using DTMF (touch tone). If the
Switch to Pulse Dial
option is enabled, the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the fifth attempt to call the central station. When this
option is disabled, the panel will always dial using DTMF. If
DTMF Dialing
is disabled, the panel will always
pulse dial.
The panel will attempt to send a signal to central station eight times before indicating a Failure to
Communicate (FTC) trouble condition. The Third Phone Number can be used as a back up for the first number
in this situation (see Section 4.3 “Phone Numbers”).

4.3
Phone Numbers
The panel can use three different phone numbers for communicating with the central station. The
First Phone
Number
is the primary number, the
Second Phone Number
is the secondary number and the
Third Phone
Number
will back up the First phone number if enabled.
The Third Phone Number will NOT back up the Second Phone Number.
If the
Alternate Dial
option is enabled, the panel will alternate between the first and third phone numbers when
attempting to call the central station. If the option is disabled, the panel will only attempt to call the Third phone
number after failing to communicate with the first phone number.
In order for Alternate Dialing to work properly, the Third Phone Number must be enabled.
Phone numbers can be up to 32 digits which will allow you to add special digits if required. To program the
phone number, enter the numbers 0 through 9 as required. The following is a list of programmable HEX digits
and the function they perform:
HEX (B) - simulates the [
✱
] key on a touch tone phone
HEX (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone phone
HEX (F) - marks the end of the phone number
HEX (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone

If no Dial Tone Detect (HEX D) is used in the phone number, a 2-second pause (HEX E) should be
inserted.

Reporting Codes
The panel can be programmed to report an event to the central station by sending the Reporting Code
programmed for that event.
Reporting codes can be one or two digits and can use HEX digits (A through F). The following is a description of
the different Reporting Codes that can be programmed and when the events will be reported to central station.
