5.5 Communicator – Dialing
If the Communicator Disable option is selected, the panel will
not attempt to call central station. If communication is enabled,
the panel will attempt to call central station when an event with
a valid Reporting Code occurs (See Section 5.8 “Communicator
– Reporting Codes”).
The Communicator Call Direction options are used to select
which phone number the panel will dial when an event occurs.
If the DTMF Dialing option is enabled, the panel will dial using
DTMF (touch tone). If the Switch to Pulse Dial option is
enabled, the panel will switch to pulse dialing on the fifth
attempt to call the central station. When this option is disabled,
the panel will always dial using DTMF. If DTMF Dialing is
disabled, the panel will always pulse dial.
Maximum Dialing Attempts determines the maximum number
of attempts the panel will make to send a signal to the central
station before indicating a Failure to Communicate (FTC) trouble
condition. The 3rd Phone Number can be used to back up the
1st in this situation
. (see Section 5.7 “Communicator – Phone
Numbers”).
Post Dial Wait for Handshake determines the amount of time
the panel will wait for a valid handshake from the receiver. If the
panel does not hear the handshake it will consider the call a
failed attempt, hang up and try again.

5.6 Communicator – Account Numbers
The account number is used by the central station to distinguish
between panels. There are two account numbers programmable
for the PC1555.
First Account Code (4 digits) ............................ Section [310]
Second Account Code (4 digits) ......................Section [311]
5.7 Communicator – Phone Numbers
The panel can use three different phone numbers for
communicating with the central station. The First Phone Number
is the primary number, the Second Phone Number is the
secondary number and the Third Phone Number will back up
the First phone number if enabled.
The Third Phone Number will NOT back up the
Second Phone Number.
If the Alternate Dial option is enabled, the panel will alternate
between the first and third phone numbers when attempting to
call the central station. If the option is disabled, the panel will
only attempt to call the Third phone number after failing to
communicate with the first phone number.
If the Third Phone Number is to be used, it must
be enabled in section [380], option [5].
Phone numbers can be up to 32 digits. This allows you to add
special digits, if required. To program the phone number, enter
the numbers 0 through 9 as required. The following is a list of
programmable HEX digits and the functions they perform:
HEX (B) - simulates the [✱] key on a touch tone phone
HEX (C) - simulates the [#] key on a touch tone phone
HEX (D) - forces the panel to search for dial tone
HEX (E) - forces the panel to pause for 2 seconds
HEX (F) - marks the end of the phone number
First Telephone Number.................................... Section [301]
Second Telephone Number .............................. Section [302]
Third Telephone Number .................................. Section [303]
Third Telephone Number Enable ............... Section [380]: [5]
Alternate Dial.............................................. Section [380]: [6]
The first digit of all phone numbers must be the
HEX digit ‘D’ for dial tone search, or HEX digit ‘E’
for a two-second pause.
5.8 Communicator – Reporting Codes
The panel can be programmed to report events to the central
station by sending the Reporting Code programmed for a
particular event.
Reporting codes can be one or two digits and can use HEX
digits (A through F). The following is a description of the
different reporting codes that can be programmed and when
the events will be reported to central station.
Reporting Codes................................. Section [320] to [353]
Do not use the digit C in a reporting code when
using Pager Format. In most cases, the digit C
will be interpreted as a [#], which will terminate
the page before it has finished.
Zone Alarm
The panel will transmit the Zone Alarm Reporting Code when
a zone goes into alarm. 24 hour type zones will go into alarm
whether the panel is armed or disarmed and report to the
central station. All other types of zones will only go into alarm if
the panel is armed.
The Cross Zone Police Code Alarm will be sent when two
different alarms occur during any armed-to-armed period.
When an alarm occurs while the panel is armed and a second
alarm occurs on a different zone during the same armed period,
or after the system is disarmed, this code will be sent. All zone
types contribute to this alarm.
The cross zone police code will be transmitted immediately
unless either or both zones have the Transmission Delay
attribute enabled. If so, the code will be delayed for the
programmed transmission delay time.
