7 3. Operation (cont d) DigiCom Reporting When DigiCom is triggered it will initially attempt to dial and report to telephone number 1 using the account number (or chip number) to identify the DigiCom. DigiCom will use the DTMF Fast Format protocol to report to the receiving equipment at the ARC. Should this first attempt be unsuccessful, DigiCom will repeat the attempt to telephone number 2 after a preset pause. Should this second attempt be unsuccessful, DigiCom will repeat the attempt to telephone number 3 after a preset pause. Where a second or third telephone number has not been programmed, the repeat attempts are made in turn to the telephone numbers that have been programmed. After 3 attempts to report to a number have failed, the Fail to Communicate state will operate the fault relay. In accordance with PSTN approval requirements, a maximum of 5 attempts will be made to each number. No further dialling attempts are made once the alarm message has been successfully passed to an ARC receiver. If a Comms Successful output is specified in the NVM, this will occur at the same time. 4. Programming Numbers Select the NUMBERS button (see Fig 2) or use the VIEW menu, NUMBERS command to reach the CALLING INFO screen. This is where the numbers that the DigiCom will call are programmed. Fig. 3 The following parameters can be set from this window. Note that at least one telephone numbers must be entered. 1 PSTN 1 - this is the first telephone number at the ARC that the DigiCom will call via the PSTN. A telephone number must be entered here. Enter the digits that are to be dialled. Do not put spaces between the numbers. If you require detection of a dial-tone after dialling a prefix digit, insert the character D after the prefix. If you want a fixed 4-second dial pause, insert the character A at the point that you require the pause. E.g. 9D132A , This will grab the telephone line, dial 9 (prefix for an outside line), wait until a dial-tone is detected, then dial 132 to access the Mercury network, wait 4 seconds then dial See Section 3, DigiCom Reporting for a description of the dialling sequence. D1154 Digicom NVM Programmer V Installation Manual D1154-V4-05-IN/10B/v1 24 Page 7 of

8 4. Programming Numbers (cont d) 2. PSTN 2 - this is the second telephone number at the ARC that the DigiCom will call via the PSTN. See PSTN 1 for details. The entry of a second telephone number here is optional. 3. PSTN 3 - this is the third telephone number at the ARC that the DigiCom will call via the PSTN. See PSTN 1 for details. The entry of a third telephone number here is optional. 4. PSTN dialling - select dialling type from Pulse dial, MF (tone) dial, or MF with 3-way calling. Where the DigiCom shares its telephone line with other equipment, e.g. a fax machine, and 3- way calling is available from the telecomms supplier, this feature should be selected. Correct operation of 3-way calling requires the PSTN wiring to the DigiCom to be as recommended in the DigiCom Installation Manual. Three-way calling and correct wiring will enable a call to the other equipment, e.g. a fax machine, to be interrupted should the DigiCom need to send an alarm call on the telephone path. Note that 3-way calling may attract an additional charge from the telecomms supplier. 5. Account Number - sets the account number (sometimes called the chip number) that identifies this DigiCom site (normally 4 digits). An account number must be entered here. 6. Increment - this button simply increments the account number shown and is helpful if you are programming several NVMs with sequential numbers. 5. Input Settings Select the Inputs button (see Fig 2) or use the VIEW menu, INPUTS command to reach the Input Settings screen. The input screen sets the configuration of DigiCom inputs. The setup parameters are simply selected by clicking in the boxes relative to each particular input. Fig. 4 The following input parameters can be programmed from this window: 1. Inverted changes the input response from a positive applied start to a positive removed start. 2. Channel (1 to 8) - enter a number in each box (1-8) to determine which channel of the transmission will be controlled by which input. Active channels will be triggered when a particular input is activated. Enter 0 for those inputs that will not trigger a transmission to an ARC. Where a D1101 Plug-on DigiCom is used, it may be necessary to program that different channels are triggered from the 8 inputs. This feature allows any channel to be triggered by any input. 3. Restore selects those inputs that are required to send a restore signal to the ARC once the input has changed back to its normal state. 4. Open/Close - select those inputs that report open and closings instead of alarm and restores. When this is selected, both open and close will always be reported. The Restore selection for this input will have no effect. 5. Comms Success - select those channels that will make the output relay operate for a period after every successful transmission. See Comms Success on page 9. D1154 Digicom NVM Programmer V Installation Manual D1154-V4-05-IN/10B/v1 24 Page 8 of

9 5. Input Settings (cont d) 6. Abort selects which channel will signal Alarm Abort to the ARC. This feature enables older alarm systems to comply with the ACPO false alarms policy (see Glossary of Terms). The same channel should have its corresponding input disabled or no connection made to that input (See Channels, Fig 4). If the Alarm Abort information is not required, select the Off position (next to No.1). 7. Delayed Reporting selects a 20 second delay between triggering (and restoral) of channel 3 and sending the transmission to the ARC. This feature can be used to reduce false alarms by allowing the alarm system user to reset an alarm within 20 seconds and avoid a channel 3 call to the ARC. Example: With the delay selected and set to 20 seconds, an input signal up to 19 seconds will not start a transmission. If the input signal is applied and stays applied for 21 seconds or longer, then the alarm transmission will be triggered. 6. Monitoring and Outputs Select the MONITORING button (see Fig 2) or use the VIEW menu, MONITORING command to reach the Monitoring & Outputs screen. Monitoring is used by the DigiCom to ascertain whether the PSTN signaling path is faulty. Fig. 5 This screen has three parts. The top right quadrant of the window sets the Line Monitor for the type of monitoring. The bottom left quadrant of the window sets the OUTPUTS. The top right left of the window sets the TEST CALLS and other timing functions. The following pages describe each in detail. D1154 Digicom NVM Programmer V Installation Manual D1154-V4-05-IN/10B/v1 24 Page 9 of

10 Line Monitor The top right quadrant of the window sets the Line Monitor for the type of monitoring on the PSTN line (see Fig 5) Hour DC Voltage Check, continuously checks for a DC voltage on the PSTN line that comes from the exchange equipment. If it is below approx. 3.5 volts or absent, then the line monitor will trigger a PSTN Line Fault Hour Off-hook Detect, continuously checks for another phone (or fax, modem etc.) on the same PSTN line being off-hook. If it is, it may inhibit DigiCom from making a telephone call. If the off-hook state is detected, the line monitor will trigger a PSTN Line Fault. This option should only be selected for PSTN lines that have no other equipment connected to the PSTN line and no other equipment connected the DigiCom A1 and B1 terminals Hour Ringing Detect, continuously checks for incoming ringing on the PSTN line. Incoming Ringing may inhibit DigiCom from making a telephone call. If incoming ringing is detected, the line monitor will trigger a PSTN Line Fault. This option should only be selected for PSTN lines that are supplied as Incoming Ringing Barred (ICB), i.e. they shouldl never have ringing on them. PSTN Line Monitor Hour Dial Tone Detect, periodically checks the PSTN line by listning for dial tone, dialling the digit 5 and ensuring that the dial-tone disappears. An absent dial tone can inhibit DigiCom from making a telephone call. If the dial tone test fails, then the line monitor will trigger a PSTN Line Fault. The period is selected by Tests, 2 and 3 below. 5. Defeat Line Monitor Output - select this to disable the line monitor output on the D1101 Plug-on DigiCom. Note that this control has no effect on the D1100 DigiCom. 6. Dedicated Line selects the recommended combination of options when DigiCom is using a PSTN line that has been provided exclusively for the alarm system where no other equipment will use the same PSTN line. Other equipment may be a telephone, a fax, a modem etc 7. Shared Line selects the recommended combination of options when DigiCom is sharing a PSTN line with other equipment. A series connection to the shared equipment is recommended. See DigiCom Installation Manual. Note: it is recommended that the monitoring for a shared line is not changed from the pre-set parameters, otherwise a line fault may occur when the PSTN line is in use by other equipment, e.g. a telephone, a fax, a modem etc Tests The top left quadrant of the window sets the Test Calls for regular tests calls to the ARC and the various timing functions (see Fig 5). 1. Test Call Interval - sets the period in hours between automatic test calls. A setting of 0 turns off all automatic test calls. The period between test calls is set in periods of hours, 1 to 99. Test calls are only sent after the Test Call Interval has elapsed following the last call (the last call may be alarm, open close, test etc ). 2. Unset Dialtone Test Interval - sets the period (0 to 99 minutes) between dial-tone tests when the system is set. See Line Monitor, 4 above. A value of 0 will switch off dial-tone testing during the unset period. It is recommended that this feature is not enabled on a shared telephone line. 3. Set Dialtone Test Interval - sets the period (0 to 99 minutes) between dial-tone tests when the system is unset. See Line Monitor, 4 above. A value of 0 will switch off dial-tone testing during the set period. 4. Comm Fail Time - sets the time in seconds that the output relay will be operated when a communication to the ARC is un-successful. See Output 1 and Comm Success Time - sets the time in seconds that the output relay will be operated when a communication to the ARC is successful. See Output 1 and 2. D1154 Digicom NVM Programmer V Installation Manual D1154-V4-05-IN/10B/v1 Page 10

11 Outputs The bottom left quadrant of the window sets the OUTPUTS relay functions (see Fig 5) for output 1 and 2. Only one of the following may be selected: Line Monitor, Comms Fail, Comms Success. 1. Line Monitor - select to make the output relay operate in response to the line monitor output. 2. Comms Fail - select to make the output relay operate for a period after every failure to make a successful transmission. The period is set by the Comm Fail Time (see Tests, 4). All failed transmissions including test calls will operate the relay. 3. Comms Success - select to make the output relay operate for a period after every successful transmission for selected channels. See Comms Success on page 11. The period is set by the Comm Success Time (see Tests, 5). All successful transmissions including test calls will operate the relay. 3. Comms in Progress 4. Inverted - makes the output relay normally energised. The functions above will make the relay de-energise when operated. 5. Latched - makes the output relay stay in the operated state until the DigiCom is reset or has power removed and replaced. When this option is selected the Comm Fail Time and Comm Success Time (see Tests, 4 and 5) are not used. 7. Reading and Comparing an NVM Ensure that the Programming Socket is connected to the computer as described in the Installation, Section 2. Using the Read, Write & Compare buttons or the NVM menu options on the main screen, follow the instructions below. Fitting an NVM into the Programming Socket Lift the lever on the NVM programming socket. Fit the 8 pin NVM into the lower half of the socket (the end nearest the lever). Ensure that the end of the NVM marked with a dot or line identifying Pin 1 is towards the upper half of the socket. Lower the lever to lock the NVM in the socket. See Fig 6. Fig. 6 To read from an NVM using the Programming Socket 1. Install the D1154 Programmer software. See Section 2. Connect a Programming Socket. See Section 2.

Press the Read button or use the NVM menu, Read command. See Fig 2. When the read process is complete, the Prom read OK message will be displayed. If the NVM contains data that is invalid for DigiCom operation then the NVM Invalid Data message is displayed when the NVM is read. In addition a red warning triangle will flash on the toolbar. Invalid Data means information that DigiCom requires is obviously incorrect, e.g. no telephone numbers, an account number that has letters as well as numbers, a blank NVM etc. 4. The NVM data may now be read from each of the screens. Select each as required using the toolbar buttons or select from the View menu. See Sections 4, 5, 6 and 13. D1154 Digicom NVM Programmer V Installation Manual D1154-V4-05-IN/10B/v1 Page 11

12 To program an NVM using the Programming Socket 1. Install the D1154 programmer software. See Section 2. Connect a programming socket. See Section 2. Adjust the setup options for the programming socket. See Section 11. Note: The D0355 programming socket includes LEDs to indicate operation. See Appendix Fit the NVM that you intend to program into the programming socket. 3. Select each screen as required using the toolbar buttons or select from the View menu. Program the data required into each screen. See Sections 4, 5, 6 and 13. Note: The minimum required to test a system is: Program the telephone numbers that DigiCom will dial when reporting to an ARC, then Program an Account Number (the Chip Number). 4. Press the Program button or use the NVM menu Program command. See Fig 2. There are many other programming options. The above will program an NVM with the default values which will allow the Dualcom to operate in most cases. If the NVM already contains some data, the NVM Not Blank message is displayed before programming commences. After 1-2 seconds the Prom programmed OK message will be displayed. The Prog Fail message will be displayed if an NVM can not be programmed. Prog Fail often indicates that there is insufficient power available to program the NVM. Check the connections from the Programmer PSU. Comparing an NVM with the screen Parameters If you wish to compare the information held in the NVM with that of the programmer, click on the Compare button (see Fig 2) or use the NVM menu Compare command. If the data held in the NVM is identical with that held in the programmer, the Compare OK message is displayed. If any bit of data in the NVM differs from that on the Programmer screen, then a message will be displayed together with the location of that data in the NVM plus the NVM data and the differing data. When the data has been noted, press the OK button to see the next location that is different. Press the Cancel button to end the compare display. 8. Viewing and Printing Files Open a.prm file as described in Section 9 or read an NVM fitted in the programming socket. This will load a NVM file into the Programmer. All settings may then be viewed by selecting each screen using the toolbar buttons or by the menus as described on the preceding pages. Use the File menu Print command to print a copy of the current setup condition. This text file will represent all the settings within the Programmer at this time. 9. Loading and Saving Files to Disk Files that are created on the D1154 Programmer can be saved to disc as.prm files. This is particularly useful because a library of masters can then be stored on disc for access when required. Use the Open and Save file buttons (see Fig 2) exactly as with files in any other Windows program. Name each file to identify it to a particular site with the extension PRM, e,g, MASTER1.PRM. See Fig 7. The Save As command is available on the File menu for creating new files. Most users program an NVM as a Master NVM containing their normal setups, telephone numbers etc This may be done by saving the Master NVM as a file on the PC. Making a new NVM requires opening the Master NVM file, entering the required Account Number and pressing the NVM Write button.

19 D0355 NVM Programming Socket APPENDIX 1 The D0355 NVM programming socket connects to a USB port on the PC and is used to read and program NVM chips that can then be plugged into a DigiCom. To use this USB programming socket, requires that the D1154 programmer software that runs on the PC must be version v or later, also that the Windows version is Windows 98 or more recent. The programming socket includes 3 LEDs to indicate its operation. These are described in the table below. LED INDICATION MEANING ACTION A, B & C Red, Yellow & Green LEDs Power-up Self Test Wait 5 seconds all on for 2 seconds A, B & C Red, Yellow & Green LEDs Cannot contact Programmer Start the Programmer software all fast flashing (3 per second) software on the PC A Red LED fast flash Cannot contact Programmer Check cables (3 per second) software on the PC Restart the Programmer software A Red LED on for 3 seconds Corrupted message on USB port Check cables Restart the Programmer software B Yellow LED on Reading or Writing NVM or Wait a few seconds until the Updating the firmware in the process is completed Programming Socket C Green LED fast flash Programming Socket has no Start the Programmer software (3 per second) firmware installed C Green LED slow flash Power applied The Programming Socket is ready for (1 per second) Waiting for commands from PC use C Green LED on Power applied Waiting for commands from PC Programming Socket Firmware The Programming Socket is ready for use Whenever the D1154 programmer software detects the D0355 programming socket on the PC s USB port it will read the version number of the firmware in the D0355 programming socket microprocessor. If this requires updating then the D1154 Programmer software will send new firmware to the D0355 programming socket microprocessor. Manually Wiping the Programming Socket Firmware In the event that firmware updating fails (see above) a message will be given on the PC screen. Restart the D1154 programmer software on the PC. If the fault persists then it will be necessary to manually wipe the firmware in the D0355 programming socket. To manually wipe the programming socket firmware: 1. Unplug the USB lead from the D0355 programming socket. 2. Remove the 4 screws that hold the D0355 programming socket case. 3. Lift the programming socket board away from its case to allow access to the underside of the board. 4. Press and hold the push-button that is next to the USB connector. 5. With the push-button held down, reconnect the USB lead. 6. Continue to hold the push-button until the yellow LED starts to flash rapidly. 7. Release the push-button. 8. Unplug the USB lead from the D0355 programming socket. 9. Reassemble the case and replace the 4 screws. Reconnect the USB lead to the D0355 programming socket and restart the D1154 programmer software. The D0354 NVM Programming Socket The D0354 NVM programming socket connects to a parallel (or printer) LPT port on the computer and can only be used with Windows versions 95, 98, 98SE or ME. This item will not be available after April This programming socket has a connector that is a feed-through type which your printer can also connect to. Some printers, particularly Hewlett Packard printers, operate in a different way to the majority of printers available. If you find that printing or NVM programming is adversely affected when the D0354 and the printer are connected, only connect one or the other to the PC parallel LPT port. Switch units are available from general PC suppliers to make this selection easier. Connect the PSU to the programming socket s PSU at the rear of the programmer. Where the DC voltage from the power supply can be adjusted, ensure that the setting on the power supply is: - 6 volts DC - the plug connector tip = positive Programming NVMs without the power supply is possible on some PCs. In these cases you do not need to connect the PSU. D1154 Digicom NVM Programmer V Installation Manual D1154-V4-05-IN/10B/v1 Page 19
