APPENDIX-J: DACT INFORMATION OVERVIEW
The DACT (Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter) is an optional module for the FC901
control panel that allows transmission of event information to a remote receiver at a monitoring
station using a dial-up modem connection. These events are transmitted in one of the following
formats:
SIADCS 8
SIADCS 20
ADEMCO Contact ID
4/2 1400 HZ
3/1 1400 HZ
3/1 2300 HZ
4/2 2300 HZ
A few aspects of the operation of the DACT are clarified below.
Lines / Accounts
The DACT supports two independent lines and can report to two separate accounts. “Lines”
should not be confused with “accounts”. “Lines” are the actual telephone cords that plug into
the DACT module, which are in turn connected to the PSTN (Public Service Telephone
Network). If line 1 is not functioning (no dial tone, etc.), the DACT will try line 2 instead.
“Accounts” are the phone numbers that the DACT dials. Once the DACT has found a “live” line
to dial out on, it transmits the event(s) on that line, starting with the first account that is
configured to send that event. If the first account does not respond after the programmed
number of attempts (busy, account not responding, etc.), the DACT will automatically attempt
to send the event to the second account, providing the event is set to report for that account.
The DACT may be configured for connection to lines that are set up for Rotary and/or Tone
dialing. See the FC901 Programming Manual, P/N 315-0494033, for details.
Must / Can / Must Not
Each event type (Alarm, Alarm Restoral, etc.) can be configured as “Must”, “Can” or “Must Not”
report independently for each account. If configured as “Must Not” report, the DACT will not
report the event to that account. If configured as “Can” report, the DACT will only attempt to
report the event to the account if it has not reported it on the other account. If configured as
“Must” report, the DACT will attempt to report the event to the account even if it has already
reported it to the other account. In summary:
Must Report
The event will be reported to this account even if it has reported it to the other
account.
Can Report
The event will only report to this account if it has not been successfully
reported to the other account.
Must Not Report
The event will never report to this account.
