Ask the central station which of these formats to use.
Two-Digit or 4/2 Format. Some central-station receivers require that a four-digit Account Code followed by a two-digit Alarm Code be
sent in each report. Example. In a certain installation, the Alarm Subscriber Number is "1234"; a burglary alarm occurs on Zone 1.
The Alarm Code for Zone 1 is "3". The communicator will send "1234 31" (Account No. 1234; Alarm, Zone 1). 1400Hz Handshake/
Kissoff. 1400Hz Handshake overrides 2300Hz Handshake if both are selected. 2300Hz Handshake/Kissoff. Used with the following
receiver formats: Radionics, DCI & Franklin Slow; Radionics Fast.
Zone Number on Pulse Alarm. If selected, an Alarm Code need not be programmed (the zone number will replace the Alarm Code),
however codes for restore, trouble, etc. are still required. Thus, in the foregoing example, if "E" is the designated Restore Code, and Zone 24
trips and is restored, the communicator will send "1234 24" (Account No. 1234; Alarm, Zone 24) followed by "1234 E4" (Account No. 1234;
Zone 24 Restored).
Single-Digit (Pulse Only) Format. The single digit sent for a particular digit of the zone number.
Sum-Check Format. Sum Check is a sophisticated data format used to enhance the speed and check the accuracy of the received
transmission. This format should be preferred whenever the central station is capable of receiving it. After transmitting the Subscriber
Identification Number and the Alarm Code, the communicator sends a verifying digit that is the sum of both. The receiver compares the
verifying digit with the sum of the other numbers to check transmission accuracy. This feature eleiminates the need to repeat data and saves
time.
3/1 with Extended Restores. Some receivers require a three-digit Account Code followed by a single-digit Alarm Code. Example. In
another installation, the Alarm Subscriber Number is "123"; an alarm on Zone 1 is restored. The Restore Code for Zone 1 is "E,1". The
communicator will send "123 E" (Account No. 123 Restored); followed by "EEE 1" (Restored, Zone 1).
Modem Formats. Modem formats (SIA, Point ID) are preset and automatic but require a Type for each zone. Program Zone Type as follows:
Fire* = "1"; Panic = "2"; Burglary = "3"; Holdup = "4"; Gas Alarm = "7"; Heat Alarm = "8"; Auxiliary Alarm = "A" (Keypad displays "0"); 24-Hour
Aux. Alarm = "B".
Pager Formats. The control panel has provisions for dialing a pager phone number. The panel will wait for ringing, wait for silence, then
send its data. Caution: Because there is no handshake/kissoff, this feature should only be used for Double Reporting; it may not be used for
Backup Reporting. Only one report is sent for any call. Pager digits are limited to "0" through "9". Digits represented by "A" through "F" will
be converted to "0"s for transmission purposes. Pager formats are 10 digits, arranged as illustrated by the following examples.
Alarms, restores, etc. are transmitted in a 3-2-4 arrangement representing Report Code, Descriptor and Account Number.
Example 1. Burglary, Zone 22 (Report Code = "3").
Transmits: 003 22 1234, where
003 = Report Code (always two zeros + programmable Report-Code digit, 0–9);
22 = Descriptor (2-digit descriptor, zone number: 01–64);
1234 = Account Number (4 digits, programmable).
Openings, closings, etc. are transmitted in a similar arrangement
Example 2. Closing, User 12 (Closing Code = "8")
Transmits 008 12 1234, where
008 = Report Code (always two zeros + programmable Opening/Closing digit, 0–9)
12 = Descriptor (2-digit descriptor (user number: 01–32);
1234 = Account Number (4 digits, programmable).
Keypad Report Codes and System Report Codes are transmitted in the same format.

Date/Time
A Date/Time can be set in the Keypad Dealer Program Mode or Quickloader program. "Enable Keypad Set Date/Time Message" will
automatically request the date and time at the keypad after extended power failures (if enabled).
Day Zone (Open; Short); Alarm on Day Zone; Disable Auto-Reset on Day Zone; Reset Day Zone with Arm/Disarm Only; Day
Zone Trouble on Open
A Day Zone will give an audible and visual indication at the keypad if there is a problem on the loop while disarmed. Open- and short-
circuit conditions are programmed separately, by zone. This feature may be used to warn of a problem (a break in a window foil, for
example) during the day, when the panel is not normally armed. When the Day Zone is tripped, "DAY ZONE TRBL" and the zone
number(s) will alternately display at the keypad and the sounder will pulse. Press the C button to silence the sounder and reset
the keypad. "ZONE FAULT" will be displayed until the condition is corrected. If Reset Day Zone With Arm/Disarm Only is pro-
grammed, reset the Day-Zone indication at the keypad. A User Code is required to reset the keypad display. If Alarm on Day Zone
is programmed for a zone, a Day Zone condition will cause the alarm outputs programmed for that zone (sirens, relays) to activate. If
Day Zone Trouble on Open is programmed, a zone configured as a 24 hour zone reports an alarm on short and a Day Zone trouble
