Data type
Values
Sequence number
ASCII hex
0000 ... FFFF (4 x ASCII)
The sequence number is a number that is automatically set
to 0000 after switching on the RF182C. After sending an
alarm on the same TCPIP channel, the sequence number is
increased by 1. After FFFF, this number is also set to 0000
again.
Origin
ASCII
0 .. 9, A ... Z
Source channel TRANSM_POINT_1 or TRANSM_POINT_2
DeviceName
ASCII
Name of the device (default: RF182C)
The device name can be up to 256 bytes long.
Time
ASCII hex
00000000...FFFFFFFF (8 x ASCII)
Time of the alarm in milliseconds
This time is reset to 0000 when the RF182C is switched on.
It cannot be set by the user. It is therefore a relative time
Error code
ASCII hex
0000 ... FFFF (4 x ASCII)
The error code specifies the cause that triggered this alarm
message frame.
More information on the error codes can be found in section
