PARAMETER 27:
Channel English
CHANNEL 1 CHAN ONE MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
Background:
PARAMETER 27
has been incorporated into the CP-220A so that English
language displays and printouts will be possible when subscriber messages
are received in the
ADEMCO High Speed Format
(also known as
ADEMCO
Superfast).
The
ADEMCO High Speed Format
is unique in that it provides
simultaneous information about
each
of the zones in the protected premises
– and transmits them every time an alarm is sent to the Central Station.
NOTE 1: It is
not
necessary to enter
PARAMETER 27
if there are no plans
to process messages in this format.
NOTE 2: The concepts in the
ADEMCO High Speed Format
differ from
other communication formats discussed so far.
Appendix B
provides additional information on this and any other
communication format capable of being processed by the CP-220A.
Once
PARAMETER 27
is selected, the CP-220A will display [CHANNEL 1
CHAN ONE]. The
ADEMCO High Speed
(
Superfast
)
Format
can
simultaneously process up to 8 channels of information, for which the
following English language descriptors have been assigned as defaults:
CODE ENGLISH WORD
CODE ENGLISH WORD
1 ONE 5 FIVE
2
TWO
6 SIX
3 THREE 7 SEVEN
4 FOUR 8 EIGHT
Channels 1 through 8 refer to either separate zones or
groups
of zones being
reported in the
ADEMCO High Speed Format
by a control panel or a
separate digital communicator transmitting information to the CP-220A.
Unless changed through programming (see below), the English words in the
table will be displayed on the CP-220A and its associated printer whenever a
Code 1 (representing an alarm) is transmitted on any of the 8 channels.
If desired, the English language descriptors may be reprogrammed for any
or all of the 8 reporting channels of a subscriber's account, whenever it sends
a "Code 1" (alarm) message in this format. As many as 12 characters can be
programmed for each of these channels; doing so will require movement
between the
Channel Number
and the
English Word
fields on the display. As
in
PARAMETER 28,
characters may be scrolled through the array with the
NEXT
key or the
MANUAL/PREVIOUS
key, as described in the following
section.
