DLC Alarm and Serial Port Technical Requirements
DLC alarm contacts
i-Page provides up to 14 alarm contacts. The cable is not supplied with i-Page and may be
ordered separately under part number 7761-8831.
The cable must be terminated in accordance with this guide.
Any damage to i-Page or customer equipment resulting from connection to high voltages is
not the responsibility of Multitone Electronics.
DLC’s are inputs only and intended for “dry” switch contacts, (no current), or simple logic
signal ports. Ideally any logic signal inputs should not exceed 3.3V.
Serial port data input
The following protocols are supported on i-Page:-
TAP MEP (Multitone protocol), ESPA 4.4.4, AUSTCO Nursecall protocol, and MSP / Morley
fires protocol.
If any other protocols are used, contact Multitone for advice and support.
We can offer a field configurable protocol converter for the majority of applications, to
convert any serial data stream into TAP or MEP protocols.
Use a standard serial Null modem cable with 9-way female connectors at each end;
Multitone part number 7718-0030.
