Introduction iComSL™ Series Universal Alarm Communicator Description The iComSL™ Series Alarm Communicator provides a fully supervised alarm communication path for any burglary or residential fire control panel. The iComSL Series can be connected to a control panel’s dialer output and used to capture Contact ID messages based on SIA DC-05-1999.09-DCS. The iComSLC has a built-in ethernet port to connect to a network and send messages to DMP Model SCS-1R or SCS-VR Central Station Receivers.
system components Open-Collector Outputs The two outputs, terminals O1 and O2 (see Figure 1), can be programmed to indicate the activity of the zones or conditions occurring on the system. Open-Collector outputs do not provide a voltage but instead switch-toground the voltage from another source. Maximum voltage is 30Vdc @ 50 mA.
Installation Mounting the iComSL Series Communicator 2.1 Selecting a Location Install the communicator away from metal objects. DO NOT MOUNT THE iCOMSL SERIES COMMUNICATOR INSIDE OR ON A CONTROL PANEL METAL ENCLOSURE (See Figure 5). Control Panel Metal Enclosure Figure 5: Suggested Mounting Locations Mounting the communicator on or near metal surfaces impairs Z-Wave wireless performance.
Applications S N Applications S1 The iComSL Series Communicator can be used in a variety of applications: 3.1 RESET S1 CID Dialer Connection S2 LOAD J26 MODELthe control panel to the iComSL to capture Contact Directly connect the telco phone line (tip and ring) from S2 iComSLC ID messages that are based on the SIA communication standard DC-05-1999.09-DCS. These messages are then formatted into a Serial 3 message and sent to a DMP Model SCS-1R or SCS-VR Receiver.
Applications 3.3 Zone 4 Bell Connection Zone 4 (Z4+ and Z4-) can be connected to the control panel bell output. This zone detects an alarm condition on the control panel by monitoring the voltage and cadence timing of the bell output. See Zone 4 Bell Cadence Information in the Appendix for cadence timing. To enable alarm detection operation, Zone 4 Bell Connection must be programmed as Zone Type (A2) in Zone Information programming.
remote arming/disarming Remote Arming/Disarming 4.1 DMP Virtual Keypad App / Virtual Keypad Browser Using a Smartphone with the DMP Virtual Keypad App or using a computer with the Virtual Keypad Browser (www.myvirtualkeypad.com), you can connect to the iComSL Series Communicator to arm Areas, turn Outputs on and off, and add, edit or remove Users. When using the iComSLCZ, you can control Z-Wave devices, Favorites and Rooms.
Programming Programming the iComSL Series Universal Alarm Communicator 5.1 Before You Begin Before starting to program, we recommend you read through the contents of this guide. The information in this document allows you to quickly learn the programming options and operational capabilities of the iComSL Series Universal Alarm Communicator. After this Introduction, the remaining sections describe the functions of each programming menu items along with their available options.
Programming 5.5 Special Keys The following special keys/areas are common to all DMP keypads. COMMAND (CMD) Key Pressing the COMMAND key allows you to go forward through the programming menu and through each step of a programming section. As you go through the programming, the keypad display shows any current programming already stored in the communicator memory. If no change is required for an option, press the COMMAND key to advance to the next step.
Programming 5.7 5.8 Entering Non-Alpha Characters To enter a space in an alpha entry, press the 9 digit key followed by the third Select key/area. The three characters on the 9 digit key are Y, Z, and space. You can also enter the following characters: – (dash), . (period), * (asterisk), and # (pound sign) using the 0 (zero) key and the four Select keys/areas from left to right. For example, to enter a – (dash), press the 0 (zero) key and then the left Select key/area.
initialization Initialization 6.1 Initialization Initialization This function allows you to set the communicator’s programmed memory back to the factory defaults in preparation for system programming. After you select YES to clear a section of memory, the communicator asks if you are sure you want to clear the memory. This is a safeguard against accidently erasing part of your programming. No memory is cleared from the programming until you answer YES to the SURE? YES NO prompt.
communication Communication 7.1 COMMUNICATION 7.2 Account NO: 7.3 Xmit Delay: 7.4 Comm Type: 7.5 Communication The Communication section allows you to configure the communication settings for the iComSL Communicator.
