The DRL2A will use the last digit of data received in 3/1
and 4/1 formats to determine the printer message and
computer event code. The event code will then be transmitted
to the central station computer. Refer to the DRL2A Decoding
Library for the complete set of messages and event codes
used by the DRL2A.
In Sections [00] through [0F], program ASCII codes according
to the Decoding Library. Values other than 20-7F (ASCII )
will not be accepted. Note that the old value programmed
in each Option will not be changed until a command with
valid data is received.
The
Limited English Printer Library
is provided and can be
selected by programming the event codes to the
corresponding ASCII code to the following letters.
Words available: Alarm (A; ASCII 41), Bypass (B; ASCII
42), Close (C; ASCII 43), Cancel (\ or D; ASCII 5C OR
ASCII 44 ), Open (O; ASCII 4F), Restr (R; ASCII 52), and
Trble (T; ASCII 54).
For example, if the word "Alarm" is wanted when the alarm
code 1 is received in 3/1 (or 4/1 formats), the option [01]
must be programmed as "41". The print out will be as follows:
L01-1234-X1 Alarm 10:32:54-18/09
Options [10] - [1F]: 4/2 Format Event Codes and
printer library Selection
The DRL2A will use the first digit following the account
code in 4/2, 3/1 extended or 3/2 formats to determine the
printer message and computer event code. The event code
will then be transmitted to the central station computer.
Refer to the “DRL2A Decoding Library” for the complete
set of messages and event codes used by the DRL2A.
In Sections [10] through [1F], program ASCII codes according
to the Decoding Library. Values other than 20-7F (ASCII)
will not be accepted. Note that the old value programmed
in each Option will not be changed until a command with
valid data is received.

Trble (T; ASCII 54).
For example, if the word "Alarm" is wanted when the alarm
code "12" is received in 4/2, 3/1 extended or 3/2 formats,
the option [11] must be programmed as "41". The print out
will be as follows:
L01-1234-12 Alarm 10:32:54-18/09
Options [20] - [2F]: 4/3 Format Event Codes and
printer library Selection
The DRL2A will use the fifth digit of data received in 4/3
formats to determine the message and event code. The
event code will then be transmitted to the central station
computer. Refer to the “DRL2A Decoding Library” for the
complete set of messages and event codes used by the
DRL2A.
In Sections [20] through [2F], program ASCII codes according
to the Decoding Library. Values other than 20-7F (ASCII )
and will not be accepted. Note that the old value programmed
in each Option will not be changed until a command with
valid data is received.
Words available:
Alarm (A; ASCII 41), Bypass (B; ASCII
42), Close (C; ASCII 43), Cancel (\ or D; ASCII 5C OR
ASCII 44 ), Open (O; ASCII 4F), Restr (R; ASCII 52) and
Trble (T; ASCII 54).
For example, if the word "Alarm" is wanted when the alarm
code "312" is received in 4/3 or 4/2 extended formats, the
option [23] must be programmed as "41". The print out will
be as follows:
L01-1234-312 Alarm10:32:54-18/09
Option [30]: Common Event Code and Library Selection
Some central station software packages are unable to process
the alarm using the event codes listed in the DRL2A Decoding
Library. Where a central station monitors thousands of
accounts belonging to different companies, the same reporting
codes may have different meanings between companies.
Because of this, the individual event codes in Options [00]
through [2F] and the corresponding library cannot accurately
represent the alarm condition. To overcome this, Option
[30] may be programmed as follows:
Program
Operation
00
Use Individual Event Codes to
computer, with Library enabled
on the printer
01
Use Individual Event Codes to
computer, without Library on
the printer
20, 30-39 and 41-5A
Use Common Event Codes
(space, 0-9, A-Z)
without Library on the printer
B0-B9 and C1-DA
Use Common Event Codes
(0-9, A-Z)
with customized Library on
the printer
When using Common Event Codes without Library, it is
recommended that either hexadecimal code “5A” (ASCII
“Z”) or hexadecimal code “41” (ASCII “A”) be used.
When using Common Event Codes with Library, it is
recommended that either hexadecimal code “DA” (“Z” with
the bit 7 set) or “C1” (“A” with the bit 7 set) be used. Note
that the event codes will still choose the word printed if a
common event is programmed with library. When viewing
the DRL2A configuration, this message will be displayed:
L01 #30 30
L01 #30 30
L01 #30 30
L01 #30 30
L01 #30 30
RS-232 CD: -ZL
RS-232 CD: -ZL
RS-232 CD: -ZL
RS-232 CD: -ZL
RS-232 CD: -ZL
Where “-ZL” indicates that the Common Event Code is “Z”
and that the Library is used.
The "Space" character (Hex 20) can be used as the common
event code with certain automation software packages to
avoid account code database changes when switching over
from other brand receivers to the Sur-Gard receiver.
Note that Option [30] is ignored when using SIA, ITI, Contact-
ID, ACRON, MODEM II, MODEM IIE, FBI Super Fast, BFSK,
ADEMCO Super Fast and SK FSK1, 2 formats.

Option [31]: SIA Option
The DRL2A provides SIA Protocol 1 for SIA level 1 RS-232
communication and SIA Protocol 2 for SIA level 1, 2, 3 RS-
232 communication. Refer to
"MLR2-DG Computer Interface"
for more information.
