[984] Communicator Status
The communicator status sections are intended to provide the installer with real time status of communicator’s functionality, opera-
tional readiness, failures, and potential malfunctions that may affect flawless operation of the communicator and its primary function of
sending signal to the central station in case the monitored event occurs.
The communicator status is displayed in the form of 6 digits CODE (6 hexadecimal numbers) as in the following pattern: 00000F. The
range of the all possible codes stretches from: 00000F – 22206F. Not all numbers in this range are assigned status code. (Some numbers
are skipped, i.e. not assigned the code.)
Each digit displays the status of assigned function on (or trouble with) communicator as following:
1. Digit 1 - Signal Indicator 1, displays the presence/strength of signal 1;
2. Digit 2 - Signal Indicator 2, displays the presence/strength of signal 2;
3. Digit 3 - Network Indicator, displays the presence (operational status) of network;
4. Digit 4 & 5 – TROUBLE INDICATOR displays the type of problem/malfunction on communicator or modules associated with and
connected to communicator.
5. Digit 6 – Reserved for future use.
For example status code 11103F – when interpreted means: “Signal Indicator 1 OK, Signal indicator 2 OK, Network is working,
POWER SUPPLY TROUBLE.” For details see the table below:
Table 34: Communicator Status and Trouble Coding - Hexadecimal Codes & Corresponding LED Equivalents
The communicator status codes will emulate corresponding LED status as indicated in table above. For example status code 11103F
would display following LED stats:
1 – LED On = Signal indicator 1, signal is OK (Green 1 LED)
1 – LED On = Signal indicator 2, signal is OK (Green 2 LED)
1 – LED On = Network indicator, network is working (Yellow LED)
03 – TROUBLE INDICATOR = Power supply trouble. (Red LED)
F – Future code not assigned yet. It is sixth hexadecimal digit. It could be also ‘ - ‘ (dash) instead of letter F (11103-).
[985] Radio Initialization Status
The radio initialization status is intended to provide the installer with real time status of radio communication. The radio initialization
status is displayed in 8 bit toggle option. Each digit indicates one task in radio initialization process that is complete step in entire pro-
cess of radio initialization as following:
1. Radio power up
2. Receiving the SMS from C24
3. Radio reset
4. Radio attached to network
5. Receiver 1 Initialized
6. Receiver 2 Initialized
7. Receiver 3 Initialized
8. Receiver 4 Initialize
The he following table shows each digits position in status code and each digit’s value and its assigned meaning in the eight digits code:
Digit 1 Digit 2 Digit 3 Digit 4 & 5 Digit 6
Signal indicator 1 Signal indicator 2 Network indicator TROUBLE INDICATOR Future use
