5.10 Adding DLC alarm contacts
i-Page provides 14 active closed alarm contacts. DLC’s are dry contacts and do not support
any drivers for load current.
The remote device contact must provide a Lo (Ground) volts point, or a logic value not
exceeding 3.3 volts on the alarm wire, to activate i-Page.
When a DLC is activated a message will then be sent to a user or group.
Refer to technical specification in Appendix 1 for DLC operational details and wiring.

A DLC cable part number 7761-8831 may be

5.11 Serial port
The serial port is designed to receive serial data from an external source such as a building
management or property management systems, serial alarms, fire alarms or other serial
alarm data.
i-Page supports a number of common serial alarm data protocols.
In the event that the protocol is not supported contact Multitone for advice and support.
Connection of a serial data input requires a standard 2 metre null-modem cable.
Multitone part number 7718-0030 is available for this purpose.
