Part # 2500-ZDACT: 
The ZDACT is used for off-premises monitoring of the fire alarm control panel. Signals are sent to a 
Digital Alarm Communicator Receiver (DACR) using either a primary or a secondary telephone line. Both 
telephone lines are supervised; if one line is operational and the other is in trouble, a report is sent to the 
supervising station and the Line Fault trouble LED (D3) is illuminated for local indication. The Panel 
Supervisory trouble LED (D2) will illuminate if communication with the control panel is lost. The ZDACT 
mounts directly on the FACP main board with earth ground lug screwed under standoff nut at top corner 
post. Programming is done through the FACP with inputs for two phone numbers and a 4-digit account 
number. The transmission format is Security Industry Association (SIA) Level 1 and is compatible with 
the receivers listed below. The ZDACT will transmit a test call every 24 hours to the DACR.
