Installation Instructions

Spectra 1759MG 31
If Hexadecimals (0 to FF) are used to program the report codes, verify that the pager also supports
Hexadecimals. If the pager does not support Hexadecimals, use only the digits 0 to 9.
UL Note: The installer is required to verify the complete compatibility of the DAC Receiver and formats at least
once per year.
9.5.1 Standard Pulse Formats
The Spectra 1759MG can use the Ademco slow, Silent Knight and Sescoa standard pulse reporting formats (see Table
9 above).
9.5.2 Ademco Express
The Ademco Express is a high-speed reporting format, which will transmit the 2-digit (11 to FF) report codes programmed
into sections [160] to [213]. Unlike other Ademco formats, the Ademco Express does not use the Contact ID report codes.
9.5.3 Ademco Contact ID
Ademco Contact ID is a fast communicator format that uses tone reporting instead of pulse reporting. This communicator
format also uses a pre-defined list of industry standard messages and report codes that will suit most of your basic
installation needs. Please refer to the Contact ID Report Codes List in the Programming Guide for a complete list of these
report codes and messages.
9.5.4 Contact ID Options
Section [136]: Dialer Options
Option [3] OFF = Programmable Codes
Option [3] ON = All Codes (default)
When using the Programmable Codes format, use the Ademco Contact ID Report Codes List in the Spectra System
Programming Guide (version 2.0 or higher) to program the desired report codes into sections [160] to [213]. Enter FF
to use the default Contact ID report codes. Press the [
FORCE] key to enter a 0 value. When using the All Codes format,
the control panel will automatically generate Contact ID report codes for every event in sections [160] to [213]. Refer to
the “All Codes” Ademco Contact ID Report Code List in the Spectra System Programming Guide.
When using the Ademco Contact ID Programmable format, both telephone numbers must use this
reporting format.
9.5.5 Pager Reporting Format
Section [136]: Dialer Options
[6] OFF / [7] OFF: 1 call to the pager/cellular telephone
[6] OFF / [7] ON: 2 calls to the pager/cellular telephone
[6] ON / [7] OFF: 3 calls to the pager/cellular telephone
[6] ON / [7] ON: 4 calls to the pager/cellular telephone
Using this format allows the control panel to transmit report codes to a pager or a cellular telephone. Since the control panel
cannot confirm whether the transmission was successful or not, it can be programmed to call the pager or cellular telephone
up to four times and transmit the report codes each time. To ensure that the report is received, the control panel transmits
the account number, the report code and the # sign four times during each call. Also, refer to Pager Delay on page 32.
9.5.6 Pager Format Transmission Options
Section [136]: Dialer Options
Option [8] OFF = Transmit Report Code(s) after Pager Delay (default)
Option [8] ON = Transmit Report Code(s) immediately
The Pager Reporting Format can be configured to transmit immediately or to transmit after a pager delay has elapsed.
With option [8] ON, the control panel will immediately transmit (personal dialing) the report code(s) to a pager or a
cellular phone. The Pager delay in section [083] will then become the length of time that the control panel will continue
to transmit the report code(s). With option [8] OFF, the control panel will transmit the report code(s) to a pager or
cellular phone only after the Pager delay has elapsed.
