Sentinel & PimaGuard
Installation Guide 17
14. PIMA style: this part is only to help you configuring the protocol, if you don’t know the format and the
system number: enter the protocol as it programmed in the PIMA alarm system (in the Control Panel’s
‘Communication’ menu, under ‘CMS 1 Options’) and press ‘Convert’.
15. Add to Account: enter a number that will be added to the account number. For example, if you enter 1500
and your account number is 7850, the updated account number will be 9350. This feature is for
distinguishing between accounts from different stations/regions that have the same number.
16. Route to: set where events in the selected protocol will be routed to. There are many possible routing
combinations for the logs, the communication channels and the repaeters. The numbers bellow ‘Route
to’ refers to the logs, the communication channels and the reapeaters. The options are:
• Log: the events will be logged in the respective log file. Up to 4 log files can be set. (see "Logs"
• Comm: the events will be routed to the respective communication channel (up to 8). The
selected channel must be in ‘Software’ mode;
• Repeater: the events will be routed to the respective logical repeater and use the selected
format, out of the 32 optional repeater’s formats (the ‘Format’ field cannot be left blank). The
selected repeater must be in ‘Output’ mode (see "Structured Communication Formats" on
page 29)
Examples for the Format as displayed on the main window
If the format follows Pima control panel programming pattern, the letter ‘P’ will be displayed with its value. Else,
the structured format will be displayed as followed: S=System, F=Flag, E=Extra.
Other information will follow: Filters, Add to Account, Structure (PLS and DTMF only), ‘Route to’ table. After saving
the format it appears as a "short line view" under its channel.
Example 1
• NPAF - the format;
• P=137 133 - Pima programming style (low\high byte);
• Route to: Comm 05 Log 01 Repeater 18 (8,12) - all incoming events will be routed to communications
channels #1 and #3 (0x05 h=101 bin), to log #1 and to repeaters #4 and #5 (0x18 h=11000 bin). The
numbers 8,12 are the formats positions, as programmed in the repeaters. Repeater #4 format is #8 and
repeater #5 format is #12.
Example 2
PLS P=1 193 4(3)x2 + 3x1 CS Route to: Log 01
• PLS - the format;
• P=1 193 - Pima programming style (low\high byte);
• 4(3)x2 + 3x1 CS - added structure
Example 3
SIA S=00 F=00 Account 100-500, 0-0, List 0 Add to Account 1000 Route to: Comm C2 Log 01
• SIA S=00 F=00 - the format. In this case SIA is programmed under a non-SIA open ACK. If PIMA control
panel programming cannot be assigned, the System & Flag data will be displayed.
• Account 100-500 - an account number filter;
• Add to Account 1000 - a number arithmeticaly added to any account number, e.g. 1563=>2563;
• Route to: Comm C2 - the transmissions will be routed to communication channels #2, #7 and #8 (0xC2 h=
11000010 bin);
• Log 01 - the log number (#1);
Example 4
DESK S=32 F=00 E=00 Route to: Repeater 02 (5)
• DESK - the format; ‘E’ serves as extra indicator;
Example 5
"SIA S=00 F=A8 Route to: Comm 01 (69) Log 01
• Decoder ID - (69) short view follows communication channels, if these exist.
PIMA style is a format conversion tool only! The PimaGuard doesn’t save its information.
The limit number is either 65535, or the outgoing format limit.
