FocalPoint™ Receivers Gateway Installation & Operation Manual - P/N: 53251:Rev: A 9/8/09
Once the ADEMCO 685 is connected to the Gateway, the Workstation will auto-create an icon for
the 685 receiver. 685 site names will look similar to this: 685 DACR - #### (where #### is the
account code for the panel that is dialing in).
685 panels generate a periodic test message. The Gateway uses that test message to supervise the
site.
2.2.8 685 Device Addresses Reported by the Gateway
Device addresses reported by dialers on panels will vary when using the 685 receiver compared to
panels monitored by NIONs. The reported format is dependent on the dialer format used and the
native panel format. In most cases, the reported format will either match the native format or be
very similar. In all cases field tests should be performed to confirm the reported format of panel
devices.
2.2.9 685 Site IDs
When using dialers to communicate with the 685 receiver, each dialer is treated as an individual
site. Therefore, each panel reporting through a dialer is reported as a standalone site. The site ID
format is as follows: 685 DACR-
XXXX
, where
XXXX
is the three- or four-digit account code for the
dialer. Example: Dialer account 24 would report as 685 DACR-0024.
2.2.10 685 Device IDs
The Gateway reformats all devices reported by the ADEMCO 685 receiver to fit the standard
FocalPoint system format of an 8-character point ID:
NOTE:
Since there is no actual node or sub-node located at the panel, the Gateway always pads the
node/sub-node position with
001000
.
Each device ID reported through the ADEMCO 685 receiver will
begin this way
.
As described above, the 8-character device ID will depend on the native device format
and the dialer format used.
