used in conjunction with an Alpha Communications® Emergency-
Call (or similar) notification system, to allow alarm indication at an
on- or off-site central station monitoring location.
The SDACT-2 shall have an RS232 port that will allow a string of
RS232 data to be converted to an industry standard SIA format
for alarm event reporting. Unit shall also be provided with 2 SPDT
relays for common alarm and common trouble indication.
The SDACT-2 shall be mountable right to the surface of the wall
when mounted in a the SDACTBX-GRAY junction box cabinet, and
shall require a customer supplied external phone line and jack.
Contractor shall observe all local and national electrical and
building codes.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION NOTESPECIAL INSTALLATION NOTE
The SDACT-2 serial dialer is typically installed adjacent or
nearby to the AlphaEntry PC Master station. If the SDACT-2
needs to be mounted in a remote location, a distance away
from the USB port on the PC Master, the installer will need to
provide a compatible serial extension cable/device.
SDACT-2 Serial Dialer and Digital CommunicatorSDACT-2 Serial Dialer and Digital Communicator
The Alpha Communications® / Keltron SDACT-2 is a unique
solution that interfaces with emergency-call, access control,
building management and other systems to enable an appropriate
and instantaneous response from personnel at a central or remote
monitoring location. The SDACT-2 provides a bridge to an on- or
off-site central station-style digital receiver through the dial-up
public switched telephone network (PSTN).
The SDACT-2 accepts pre-defined ASCIII RS232 data strings and
converts to SIA, a standard, digital receiver-compatible, alarm
reporting format.
The most common applications for the SDACT-2 is for use with our
AlphaEntry™ and AlphaEcall™ emergency-call systems and
devices, although it can be used with other similar systems.
