- DIGITAL/VOICE ACCESS and CONTROL SYSTEM
Where the service is provided, the APLEX control panel may be connected to a Schedule 3A
Data Channel equipped with the DVACS
(tm)
option for on-line central/monitoring station service
with companies using the EUROPLEX Model 4100/4300 polling multiplexer. The following
connections must be established between the panel and the F1F2 subset:
APLEX F1F2 SUBSET
-ve(Gnd) <--------------------> Gnd (Yellow of six cond.)
Tx -----------------------------> Rx (White of six cond.)
Rx <---------------------------- Tx (Orange/Blue of six cond.)
Select the serial-data set-up using the procedure on page 53.
The following data configuration is required for DVACS
(tm)
:
COMMS MODE 0
SYSTEM ID # where # is the polling address, 1 to 127.
ACCESS CONTROL # where # can have values 0 to 543.
LOG FILTER # where # can have values 0 to 8191.
DIAL MODE 0
DATA BITS = 8
BAUD RATE = 150
You must obtain the polling address from your alarm company and only they can set your
customer on line. Note: When the alarm company gives you an address, it must be a three-digit
number (e.g., C4046 only uses the last three digits, 046, as the SYSTEM ID; 875022 only uses
the last three digits, 022, as the SYSTEM ID). After you have completed the data configuration,
call up the central/monitoring station personnel and ask them to set your customer on line.
A service diagnostic is available for use with the DVACS
(tm)
installation. Press the HELP key
twice within three seconds. Do not enter your user code! The display will show POLL TIME =
#. The # value indicates the time between polls. If this value is 0, then no polling is occurring.
Either the customer address is not on line, the wiring connection from the F1F2 subset to your
panel is incorrect, or the link between the customer's F1F2 subset and the central/ monitoring
station is out of service. Typical times will be 150 minus the time between polls (i.e., on a
ten-customer circuit, the poll time would show 140). This represents the difference in time
between 150 seconds and the time a poll command was received (i.e., 10 seconds). To turn this
diagnostic off, press the HELP key twice again or the poll time message will automatically
disappear after a period of time equal to the bell cut-off time [i.e., if the bell cut-off time is 15
