A   Contact ID Configuration

Alarm Panel Setup and Connection

Configure the Alarm Panel as follows:

®

Communicator format  

Ademco Contact ID 

    

(Automatic Reporting)

  

Primary Tel Number 

1234

Account Code 

1234

Dialing Type 

Tone

Wait for Dial Tone 

No

Note:

 The account code programmed into the alarm panel is not 

used by the alarm transmitter. The alarm transmitter is 
preprogrammed internally with the appropriate radio code, however 
for the correct functioning of the Contact ID interface, the alarm 
panel is still expected to supply an account code.

Connect the TIP (input 8) of the transmitter to the TIP input of the 
alarm panel. Connect the RING (NEG input) of the transmitter to the 
RING input of the alarm panel.

Note:

 The NEG input of the transmitter must also be connected to 

the NEG terminal of the battery, as is the case for normal transmitter 
installations. 

When programming the alarm panel, the following  must be 
observed:

 

Up to 4 partitions are supported / reported

!

 

Up to 31 zones are reported 

!

(zone 32 reserved for universal or unknown zone)

 

 

Up to 15 users / key holders are reported

!

(user 16 reserved for universal or unknown user)

 

Only battery low and AC fail restorals are reported

!

 

All standard RDC type telemetries are reported

!

B   Hardwired Input Configuration

Certain hardwired inputs are still functional while the transmitter is 
configured for Contact ID type operation. It is however highly 
recommended that these inputs should only be connected if the 
Contact ID interface is not being used. Connecting the hardwired 
inputs and using the Contact ID interface simultaneously will cause 
the transmitter to send huge volumes of redundant transmissions, 
which in turn will cause the radio network reliability to decrease. 
 

Input 1 

- Panic

Input 2

 - Alarm

NB: Inputs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 are not available for use and 
therefore have no terminal blocks. These inputs should not be 
connected under any circumstances.

Input 2 - Alarm Input

This input has a programmable delay feature to allow direct 
connection to the bell output of alarm panels. The delay prevents 
triggering when annunciation is used. The delay is programmable 
between 0 - 7.5 seconds in 0.5 second intervals.

The transmitter inputs accommodate the following alarm panels 
output voltage ranges:

Positive Trip

10.8 ~ 14V

Negative Trip

Open Collector 0 ~ 0.5V

Alarm panels which do not meet this requirement will require a level 
converter interface.
