13.4 Pager Format

13.3 Personal Dialing and Pager Format

This is a 2 pulse per second (PPS) 0/2 (no account code/2 report event digits) format intended for manual reception, i.e. the panel will call

a phone number where a person is expected to answer. After a call is made, the panel will start sending the first report. If the report was

a “Communication Test” and Program Address 0329 had a value of 12 the person answering the phone would hear 1 pulse followed by a

1 second delay, then 2 pulses followed by a 3 second delay. This sequence will repeat for 60 seconds per call. After the 60 seconds the

panel will hang up and call again if any reports still remain to be sent.

A way to expedite this report process would be to provide an acknowledge to the panel that the report was heard and understood by the

receiving party. When an acknowledge is provided, the panel will start sending the next report or hang up if no reports remain. To provide

an acknowledge, press and hold the 1 key of the telephone keypad for 2 seconds during the 3 second delay of the report transmission.

This “Acknowledge Feature” is an enhancement that will allow the panel to send all reports in one call. If the call is not acknowledged a

communication failure is sent after all dial attempts are made.

It is recommended that the reporting values for this format be the same as the Pager Format.

The Pager format allows the control panel to dial a digital pager and leave a numeric message which includes an account ID and report

type. The telephone number is dialed when a report is available. At the completion of the telephone dialing, a fixed time delay equal to 10

seconds occurs. This delay allows time to connect with the pager service, while skipping over any voice announcement. When the delay

has ended, the numeric message is sent. This message includes the account number followed by up to 5 reports. If a delay time greater

than 10 seconds is required, increments of 3 seconds can be added by programming the “*3” character (3 second delay) at the end of the

phone number in address 4028 or 4038.

For example, if you call pager number 123-4567 and it takes 20 seconds after you finished dialing before you are allowed to enter the

message, the following digits should be programmed in address 4028: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 *3 *3 *3 *3. This will give you an overall delay of 22

seconds.

For Pager format, it is not advisable to use the HEX character values (*0 = A, *1 = B, *2 = C, *3 = D, *4 = E, *5 = F) in the report

programming addresses 0256 through 0340. These characters could cause unpredictable results when sent to a pager system

that only expects numeric characters between 0-9. This is the reason that this format will not allow an associated user number

with an open and close report.

Pager Format allows the use of the digit “0” as the reporting (first) digit. Using a “0” as the reporting digit will disable

the reporting in all other formats.

The following are recommended programming values for addresses 0256 through 0340 when using the Pager format.

The Pager format is an open-loop format which has no acknowledge tone. There is no indication at the control panel that the

signal has been sent. Therefore, the Pager format is not recommended as the primary communication method.

It cannot be used for UL Fire Applications.

Refer to the worksheet on the next page for Reports with Restorals. The values for each report can be determined by the

user in conjunction with the installer. Again, the digit “0” (zero) should not be used as the reporting (first) digit as it will affect

other reports in the system. Examples have been provided for possible reporting values, but the values can be set to the

user’s preferences.
