Section 3 - Activation of Selected Functions 31
• alarm system identifier (facility number - one or more for detailed reporting
from a big system )
• list of event codes
In order to start monitoring, the following items should be programmed:
• FS-43 – monitoring station telephone number - if there are two numbers or
two stations, the other number should also be programmed in FS-44.
• FS-45, FS-46 – station transmission formats - in case of a multi-format
station, select format which is as fast as possible (e.g. Ademco Express or
Radionics 2300 with parity).
• FS-47 – monitoring options.
• FS-48 to FS-59 – monitoring stations identifiers, an identifier should have 3
or 4 non-zero characters (characters from “1” to “F”, “0” - no character), some
stations use identifiers composed from digits from 0 to 9 - then character “A” is
to be programmed instead of digit “0” (e.g. “A1A2” instead of “0102”.
At least three identifiers should be programmed (can be identical):
- zone identifier,
- partition identifier,
- system event identifier.
• FS-60 to 66 & FS-69 to 72, FS-81,82,126 – event codes according to the list
from the monitoring station operator, the codes can be one-digit (the other
character being 0) or two-digit - as required by the station, the codes with
inappropriate length may block communication with the station.
• If reporting with event sorting to both stations has been selected in the
options, events assignment should be programmed in the functions FS-67, 68,
73 to 80, 83, 84.
• FS-5 - activate the option in “MONITORING” after the above items have
been programmed.
Typical problems with starting the monitoring:
• Control panel takes no attempts to call – not all of the above mentioned
items have been programmed – the control panel will not call the monitoring
station if the programmed data do not allow sending a correct transmission to
the station because of e.g. missing telephone number, identifier being shorter
than 3 non-zero characters, missing event code, etc.
• Problems with dialing – no dial tone or a non-standard dial tone from the
telephone exchange – find out the cause of missing signal or disable the dial
tone test option in FS-5 if the signal is non-standard.
• Control panel sends no codes when connected to the station - wrongly
selected format or low quality of telephone connection (the panel does
not “understand” the station dial tone);
• Station does not receive or acknowledge the codes sent by the panel
- wrongly selected format, inadequate identifier length (3 characters, while the
station requires 4), inadequate event code length (1 character, while the station
requires 2) or low quality of telephone connection.
• Control panel does not send codes of some events, despite of the codes
being properly entered - identifier of the particular group of events is missing,
e.g., if the partition 1 identifier is missing, no reports on this partition arming /
disarming will be sent.
• Control panel automatically changes the option „transmission to Station
1 or to Station 2” into transmission to one station only - if with this
monitoring option selected the number of identifiers for Station 1 and Station 2
is different (there are codes which have an identifier for one station, but not for
