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. Then, it will dial the CS#1 telephone number
(programming question #01). When the CS receiver picks up the ringing phone line, it will
transmit a "Handshake" frequency (either 1400Hz, 2300Hz 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 & 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 proceed to dial the CS#2 telephone
number or dial again the CS#1 telephone number (if CS#2 is not used). It will continue to
dial (8 times for each CS telephone number programmed) until a "Kissoff" is received. If after
dialing 8 times for each CS Telephone number programmed 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 & 09)
E = Single digit Event code; it is the first of the 2 programmable reporting code digits
Standard format is transmitted in Pulse 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). A disadvantage of this format is that it can only transmit a total of 15
event codes (0 - 9, B - F) without identifying zones or users. Examples:
3X1 W/O PARITY 3X1 W/PARITY
123 3 (1st round) 123 3 6 (single round)
123 3 (2nd round) 123 3 (resulting data)
123 3 (resulting data)
