INTRODUCTION

Micro Seven Model AP16 or PC300-APS, PC-Alarm Panel-CO Simulator, transmits Ademcoâ Contact-ID alarm messages to alarm receivers without telephone line. It contains simulated CO port generating ring signal and CPE port that interfaces CO. It receives ASCII commands for programming alarm messages and AP16 operation at RS232C interface in PC. It receives ASCII equivalent of alarm message without check-sum. The alarm messages and AP16 Control Register for storing programming parameters are stored in non-volatile memory in AP16/PC300-APS. A single ASCII command at RS232C interface starts alarm reporting process. AP16/PC300-APS generates high voltage ring signal. After an called alarm receiver answers the call, and conducts handshake. Then AP16/PC300-APS transmits alarm message in DTMF tone. AP16/PC300-APS hangs up the call if it receives kiss-off tone from the alarm receiver, and it sends status messages to PC. If the alarm reporting is not successful, AP16/PC300-APS transmits a different status message to PC. Transmission of alarm messages is repeated for four times if AP16/PC300-APS does not receive kiss-off tones from alarm receivers. The alarm reporting sequence, which involves calling alarm receivers, may be repeated for several times, which is programmable. AP16 contains internal audio monitor for hearing ring back tone, handshake signals, DTMF tones for alarm messages, and kiss-off tones. The PC300-APS does not contain audio monitor. Interfacing cable between PC and AP16/PC300-APS is provided. 220V AC input power is optional. PC300-16APS contains equivalent of sixteen AP16s in a 19-inch rack-mount unit. PC300-16APS provides simultaneous alarm reporting for sixteen alarm panels. AP16 contains CPE port as well as simulated CO port.

 

SPECIFICATIONS

RS232C commands from PC: Note: 10 ms delay is required between programming commands including, alarm message entry, and AP16 Control Register operations that involves with non-volatile memory.

Alarm message entry: S<fifteen digit long alarm message><CR>
i.e. S123418313101015<CR>
Note: AP16/PC300-APS prepares check sums. Do not enter sixteen digits. When sixteen digit-long alarm message including check sum is entered, checksum, which is prepared by AP16, will become a wrong one. It is stored in EEROM (non-volatile memory) in AP16. Alarm message entry command for PC300-16APS is as follows:

S<line number><fifteen digit long alarm message><CR>

Start alarm reporting: G
Start alarm reporting process by generating ring signal, receive handshake tones, transmit alarm messages, receive kiss-off tones and hang up the line if AP16 Control Register is programmed. Start alarm reporting command for PC300-16APS is as follows:

G<line number>
Note: when the line number is 99, the start alarm reporting command is applied for all sixteen lines simulating simultaneous alarm messages.

Hang-up command or Abort command: A
Sending disconnect signal (turning off loop current) to alarm receivers or stop generation of ring signal. The hang-up command or abort command for PC300-16APS is as follows:

A<line number>

Repeat alarm message command: B
It transmits alarm message again. The repeat alarm message command for PC300-16APS is as follows:

B<line number>

Reading alarm-message command: U
AP16/PC300-APS transmits programmed alarm message in sixteen digit-long including check sum to PC. The reading alarm message command for PC300-16APS is as follows:

U<line number>

Line selection command for AP16 only:

L1 for simulated CO port

L2 for CPE port

Alarm-panel polling command: C
AP15 performs the "double-dialing" operation, which goes off-hook and dials a number. Then it hangs up, waits for few seconds, goes off-hook and dials the same number. If the called line transmits 2200Hz-answer tone, AP15 transmits "POLLING SUCCESS" to PC. When AP15 does not receive the 2200 Hz answer tone, it transmits "CALL FAILED". AP15 re-dials the number that is programmed.

AP16/PC300-APS CONTROL REGISTERS

DTMF Register

DTMF Register in non-volatile memory determines on and off times of DTMF generation of alarm messages.

Each increment is 10 ms, and the factory default condition is 5 for 50ms on and off timing. Ademco specification limits 50ms minimum and 60 ms maximum. The command format is:

MA5 n1 n2

For example, MA506 selects 60 ms on/off times.

The content of DTMF Register may be done by "RA5", and AP16/PC300-APS outputs "06".

Control Register, which resides in non-volatile memory, is one byte data memory in AP16/PC300-APS. It is written by the following command:

MAC n1 n2, where n1 n2 form one byte in hexadecimal notation

Note: "MAC50" programs the factory default conditions.

Status of the control register is performed by entering "RAC", and AP16/PC300-APS generates "50".

Bit 7: "1" selects higher signal power output (0 dBm) for alarm message, and "0" selects lower signal power output (-12 dBm). The factory default is "0" to select –12dBm.

Bit 6: Not used, must be "1".

Bit 5: "1" disables storing alarm messages in non-volatile memory for alarm message input command, and "0" is for storing alarm message in non-volatile memory. The factory default is "0" for enabling non-volatile memory operation.

Bit 4: Not used, must be "1".

Bit 3: Not used, must be "0".

Bit 2: "1" disables re-starting calling procedures when "MESSAGE FAILED" is generated. "0" enables re-starting calling procedures. The factory default is "0" for re-starting calling procedures when "MESSAGE FAILED" is displayed.

Bit 1: "1" keeps telephone line off-hook without sending disconnect-signals after successful delivery of alarm messages. "0" enables disconnecting the line after successful of alarm messages. The factory default is "0" for disconnecting up the line.

Bit 0: "1" disables re-starting alarm reporting procedures when message "CALL FAILED" is displayed. "0" enables re-starting alarm reporting procedures. The factory default is "0".
