Appendix 1
Using Point ID
The ProDigi Communicator or GardTec Modem from GardTec may, if required be used
to allow Point ID communication with the GardTec
872
. When used in this mode the
ProDigi/Modem will use the Ademco Point ID Protocol.
Point ID allows for the transmission of zone and detector types to be transmitted along
with the alarm information. This qualifies as sequential verification as recommended by
the 1995 ACPO policy.
To use Point ID the ProDigi/Modem should be connected to the GardTec
872
via the
serial lead that is supplied with it (this is shown in Fig 16 on page 25).
To use the communicator in Point ID mode and program the relevant functions, the
control panel needs to be told that it is to use the ProDigi as a Point ID communicator.
This is done via option 34 in the engineer options (Digicom Type), which should be
changed to:-
Digicom Type.....
= Point ID or Mod+PID for the Modem
If using an LED type keypad to select Point ID:-
With the display showing E- press 34 followed by YES
Then press NO 03 (or 04 for Modem) followed by YES
It should be noted that although you are able to turn on the Point ID function via an
LED keypad you will not be able to program the Digicom functions unless you are
working via an LCD keypad. This allows for a pre-programmed ProDigi to be fitted onto
an existing system with LED only keypads.
When using the ProDigi or Modem with the GardTec
872
control panel you will
be able to use the ProDigi as a Point ID communicator or fast format
communicator. It is not possible to use both formats at the same time.
