16. Reporting Formats
The Silent Knight Model 5128/29 can transmit information in several different formats (including two types of
BFSK and SIA formats). The type of format you select is determined by the type of receiver used at the central
station (see Section 15, Step 31). Note that the SIA formats are recommended for use with the 5128/29. (All
formats listed below are compatible with the Silent Knight model 9000 receiver.)
NOTE: Some formats do not distinguish between certain types of reports, such as between waterflow and fire
alarms or between supervisory and trouble reports. Central station personnel must keep records of
how the various zones are programmed at each account, so they can determine what condition is being
reported for a particular zone.
