Installation Manual DATE : 09/30/97 DRAFT
Level 2 (Hardcoded)
The SIA communication format used in this product follows the Level 2 specifications of the latest SIA Digital Communication
Standard – July 1997 (Draft Only). This format will send the Partition 1 Identifier (Account Code) along with a Partition
Identifier (1 or 2) in its data transmission. At the receiver, the transmission would look like .........
N Ri01/
BA 01
XX XX
Etc.
N = New Event
Ri01 = System Area (or Partition One on partitioned panels)
BA = Burglary Alarm
01 = Zone 1
XX = Next event from the same area in the same transmission.
CONTACT I.D.
The Account Codes must be 4 decimal digits in length all reporting codes must be 2 digits in length.
This format uses DTMF touch tone as the communication media. It requires a Dual-Tone initial handshake (1400/2300) and
after sending the message, it requires a 1400 Hz kissoff.
This software has a built in Automatic Contact I.D. reporting Code table similar to SIA. This table may be found in its entirety
in Appendix C. An option exists that determines whether or not the Contact I.D. format will transmit Automatic or
Programmed reporting codes (please see Section [381] Option 7).
Contact I.D. behaves similarly to SIA with respect to reporting codes; if [00] is programmed for any event, it will not
communicate. If [FF] is programmed the automatic reporting code will be transmitted (if programmed). If the “Contact I.D.
Sends Programmed Codes” option is enabled, the panel will not send anything for the event as valid entries are [01]-[FE].
Please see both Appendices B and C for a total list of both suggested and automatic Contact I.D. reporting codes.
Note: The Australian Automatic Contact I.D. is different than that of the Standard Product. Please see Appendix C for
differences.
The format is: AAAA 18 Q XXX GG CCC P
Where: AAAA = 4 digit Account Code
18 = Unique format identifier (not programmed, displayed, or printed)
Q = Qualifier, which gives specific event information
1 = New Event or Opening
3 = New Restore or Closing
