Main Dialer Connections
To connect the main dialer, refer to the Summary of Connections diagram and perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Connect the main dialer to the telephone company lines using the RJ31X cable supplied.
2 If the dialer output is connected to telephone lines that have a telephone company MTU installed, cut the
blue jumper (W6).
Installing the 5140DLM Backup Dialer
Do not connect the main dialer and the backup dialer to the same telephone company line.
To install the 5140DLM, refer to the Summary of Connections diagram and perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Mount the 5140DLM to the main PC board shield.
2 Connect the backup dialer to the telephone company lines using the RJ31X cable supplied.
3 Connect the backup dialer to the J3 connector on the main PC board using the ribbon cable (supplied with
the module).
4 Connect the earth ground screw on the 5140DLM to the earth ground terminal (30) on the main PC board
using 16AWG wire.
5 If the dialer output is connected to telephone lines that have a telephone company MTU installed, cut the
blue jumper on the 5140DLM PC board.
Telephone Line Supervision
If the tip/ring voltage falls below approximately 25 volts (13 volts if the blue jumper is cut) or the handset current is less
than approximately 10mA, the supervision circuits for the dialer output will indicate a fault condition. Faults on the
phone lines are displayed as zones 974 (main dialer) and 975 (backup dialer).
• To prevent risk of shock, disconnect the phone lines at the telco jack before servicing the panel.
• If the communicator is connected to a telephone line inside a PABX, be sure the PABX has backup power
supply that can support the PABX for 24 hours (central station usage). Many PABXs are not power-backed
up, and connection to such a PABX results in a communication failure if power is lost.

The telephone line inputs have overvoltage protection in accordance with UL1459.
Reporting Formats
The system is shipped defaulted for Contact ID format. It is the only format capable of uniquely reporting all 32
zones, as well as openings and closings for all 75 users. This requires central stations to be equipped with the
MX8000 receiver. If you need to update your MX8000 Receiver, contact your distributor.
The system supports ADEMCO Low Speed 3+1; 4+1; 4+2; Sescoa/Radionics 3+1; 4+1; 4+2; ADEMCO 4+2 Express;
ADEMCO High Speed; ADEMCO Contact ID formats.
Dialer Operation
When only the main dialer is enabled (field 3
✳30 = 1, 0), the system attempts to route all messages over the main dialer
output. . When both the main and backup dialers are enabled (field 3*30 = 1,1), the panel will Alternate Dialers by pairs
(make two attempts to report on the Main Dialer, then make two attempts to report on the Back Up dialer). The panel
will continue to do this to the Primary Phone number until it reaches its programmed attempts in 3*21, then it will do
the same to the Secondary phone number. Test Report is always sent on Alternating dialers.
The communicator makes up to eight attempts to transmit the messages to one or both telephone numbers (primary and
secondary), depending on the report routing options programmed. After the eighth attempt, the communicator hangs up
and the system displays “COMM FAIL” on the keypad. The number of dialer attempts are programmed in field 3
✳21
(default = 8; must be restricted to 3, 4, or 5 if a secondary phone number is programmed).
