This security system is designed to transmit data to a central station receiver when an
alarm, system trouble, or an opening/closing occurs. Due to the many different types of CS
receivers in the market, this system can transmit data in various formats. Each installing
company determines which format best suits its needs based on many factors. Of these, the
CS receiver type is a major factor.
In transmitting data to the CS receiver, the first event that occurs is that the system's digital
communicator will seize the home phone lines. It will dial the CS#1 telephone number (refer
to programming question #01). When the CS receiver picks up the ringing phone line, it will
transmit a handshake frequency, either 1400 Hz, 2300 Hz or HiLo, back to the digital
communicator. After receiving the handshake frequency, the digital communicator will
transmit the data in the format programmed in question #04, locations 1, 2, and 3 (either in
pulse or DTMF).
Assuming the CS receiver verifies the data transmission as valid (after 2 successful rounds of
data or 1 valid parity round), it will transmit a kissoff frequency back to the digital
communicator. This causes the communicator to stop transmitting, unless more data is
available, in which case additional data transmissions and kissoffs will occur. After the final
kissoff, the CS receiver will release the phone line and process the data to its display and
associated peripherals (computer and printer).
If for any reason the digital communicator does not receive the kissoff, it will dial the CS#2
telephone number; or if CS#2 is not used, redial the CS#1 telephone number. It will dial the
telephone number eight times for each CS telephone number programmed until a kissoff is
received. If a kissoff is not received, the system will display COMMUNICATION FAILURE
at the keypad. This message is cleared after the next successful transmission or by the user
at the keypad.
Standard (3X1)
The Standard Reporting Format: AAA E
Where:
AAA = Three-digit account number (PROG. QUESTS. #08 and 09)
E = Single-digit Event Code; it is the first of the 2 programmable Reporting Code digits
The standard format is transmitted in pulse mode, and involves a 3-digit account number
followed by a single-digit Event Code. It can be transmitted with parity (1 round of data) or
without parity (2 rounds of data). One disadvantage is that this format can only transmit a
total of 15 Event Codes (0 - 9, B - F) without identifying zones or users.
