Micro
Seven, Inc. model LS100-2E contains both dtmf-Alarm-Receiver Simulator and PBX
simulator/telephone-line simulator functions. The Alarm-Receiver Simulator
function provides simulated telephone-line and alarm receiver for bench-testing
alarm panels for dtmf-based protocol including the Ademco® (registered trade
mark by ADEMCO Group, a division of Pittway) Contact ID Protocol. The simulated
telephone-line functions include generation of dual-frequency-type dial and
ring-back tones, detection of DTMF and rotary-pulse dialing pulses, and
battery-feed function. The LS100-2E provide functions of generation of
handshake tones and kiss-off tones, receiving alarm messages, check-sum
calculation, and transmitting alarm messages in ASCII format at RS232C
interface to a PC. Selections of handshake tones, kiss-off tones, alarm message
length, enabling/disabling checksum, kiss-off tone hold, enabling 2-way audio
by listen-in command, handshake tone length are provided with Windows-based
control software. LS100-2E provides testing of alarm panels for many types of
dtmf-based alarm message formats including popular Ademco Contact-ID.
Telephone-line simulator function simulates
two dial-up telephone lines for testing and demonstrating telecommunication
equipment. When a correct telephone number is dialed at line 2, ring signal is
produced at line 1. When the call is answered at other line, bi-directional
signal paths are established between two lines. The telephone-line simulator
features are very similar to ones in LS100-2A. Many features include 30HZ
square-wave ring signal, dual frequency and single frequency call progress
tones, switching extra 20 dB signal attenuation on/off, primary and secondary
telephone numbers, stutter dial tone, PBX mode, hot-line mode, distinctive
ring, network delay, and disconnect signal.
4+2 protocol option provides receiving and
displaying alarm messages with SIA pulse format.

Operation of alarm-receivers
Traditionally,
when alarm panels are tested in the manufacturing, an alarm receiver with
telephone lines is required. The Micro Seven model LS100-2E provides both
simulated telephone lines and alarm receiver in a box so that your alarm panels
are connected directly to LS100-2E. The line 1 and 2 of LS100-2E are designated
as an alarm receiver and telephone line simulator respectively.
Connect
your alarm panel to the RJ11 connector at line 1 of LS100-2E with a regular
telephone cable. The connection of
serial interface cable between LS100-2E and PC is optional. If it is connected
and the software is executed, further decoded alarm messages are displayed on
PC screen. Even emails may be generated automatically.
Create
an event at your alarm panel to report alarm condition. When your alarm panel
goes off-hook, “OFF-HOOK SIGNAL” and “DIAL-TONE ON” are displayed on LCD
displayed on LS100-2E.
Note: actual display area is
1”(2.5cm)x2.75”(7 cm).
OFF-HOOK SIGNAL
DIAL-TONE ON
When the
alarm panel is dialing a telephone number such as a toll-free 1800-555-1212 for
your alarm panel, “DIALING” and “18005551212” is shown on the LCD display. LS100-2E
accepts any telephone number for alarm receiver function unlike correct
telephone numbers are required to be dialed at a line when the line is
programmed as a telephone line simulator not as an alarm receiver. Since the
alarm receiver is internal, there is no ring signal generated.
DIALING
18005551212
LS100-2E
waits one second at the end of dialing process. Then it generates ring-back
tone at the line displaying “RING-BACK TONE” on the LCD display. There are two
ring-back tone periods.
RING-BACK TONE
Then
LS100-2E generates the handshake tones with 1400 and 2300 Hz displaying
“HANDSHAKE TONES” on the LCD display.
RING-BACK TONE
HANDSHAKE TONES
Then
your alarm panel transmits sixteen-digit digital alarm message to LS100-2E.
There
are two displaying modes. One mode displays raw sixteen-digit alarm messages on
the LCD display. The other mode displays decoded alarm messages including alarm
code, description of alarm code, account number, new/restaural/status, zone,
and partition number.
The raw
message mode displays “KISS OFF/MESS.RECV” and “567818111012223” on LCD
display. If it is the decode message mode, the display is “110 Fire Alarm” and
“A:5678 New/Open”. Where 5678 is account number and the “New/Open” is the type
of message. The display may also be either “Rest/Clos” for 3=New Restore or Closing/or “ or Status
Rp” for 6=previously-reported condition still present (Status report).
KISS OFF/MESS.RECV
5678181110122223
or
110 Fire Alarm
A:5678 New/Open
The bottom
portion of the display is then changed to : “P:12 ZON/USR:222” which indicates
the partition=12 and the zone=222. The bottom portion of the display changes
for every second between the account number with type of message and partition
with zone numbers. The decoded messages of event codes that are stored in
EEPROM inside LS100-2E may be edit by any text editor, and the changes may be
downloaded to LS100-2E by special software. Twelve maximum characters for each event
code is displayed at 16x2 LCD module.
110 Fire Alarm
P:12 ZON/USR:222
Maximum
twelve characters are only displayed on the above LCD display for a decoded
event code.
If there
was no alarm message received and LS100-2E goes on hook, it display “ON-HOOK”
shown as below.
If the
checksum in the alarm message is wrong, the “BAD MESSAGE" is shown as
below with the received message.
Specifications for alarm receiver
function:
Dialing
into alarm receiver: It accepts any numbers of any DTMF digit, but the maximum pause
time between digits should be less than one seconds. The maximum dialing digit
is sixteen. Dialed numbers are shown in the LCD display.
Alarm
message detection signal power:
-13
dBm to +5 dBm per a frequency with maximum 4 dB different between frequencies
at the RJ11-C connector
Handshake
tones:
1400:
1400+/- 1Hz, -20 dBm nominal power, -30 dBm power in the line impairment mode,
duration of 100 ms +/- 1.5 ms.
2300Hz: 2300+/-2 Hz, -20 dBm nominal power, -30 dBm power in the line
impairment mode, duration of 100 ms +/- 1.5 ms
Kiss-off
tones:

+/- 1 Hz –20 dBm nominal power, -30 dBm power in the line impairment mode with
duration of 750 ms
Alarm
receiver software: Window-based software is provided with LS100-2E for further
decoding alarm messages with date/time information. Also, all received alarm
messages are stored in a disk file as continuous file. The software may be able
to transmit emails into Internet when alarm messages are received at PC. All
communications via PC are done at RS232 interface.
Control
software that is provided: ls1002e.exe for the following:
1.
selection of alarm receiver or telephone line simulator for each line
2. selection of LCD display modes between raw alarm message and decoded alarm
message
2-way audio and listen-in command: If the listen-in command with alarm
event code of 606 is received by LS100-2E, no subsequent alarm messages are
received. Ring signal is generated at other line in LS100-2E. Ring-back tone is
generated at the alarm panel. When the call is answered at the line, voice
paths are established between the other line and alarm panel in 2-way audio
path. The hang-up timer is disabled.

Limitation
of decoded information for each event: The maximum sixteen characters for each
event code is displayed on the LCD display in LS100-2E, i.e. “101 Personal EM”
or “102 Fail-to-report” is only displayed on the LCD display because of limited
display area. Consult Micro Seven for programming your own display. Decoded
messages for the Contact-ID alarm code may be edited by using Notepad editor,
and they may be downloaded to LS100-2E for your own custom display.
Custom

Specifications as telephone line
simulators:
The
selection between PBX simulator/telephone-line simulator and alarm receiver may
be made by using the control software that is provided. The PBX
simulator/telephone-line simulator function is for testing and demonstrating of
telecommunication equipment in engineering, manufacturing, and fields. It
contains dual frequency call progress tones, 30Hz square wave ring signal,
short or programmable telephone number, stutter dial tone, and distinctive ring
signals. It also contains a pseudo line-impairment mode with 20 dB insertion losses
and random noise. The LS100-2E is also equipped with a forced-disconnect
feature where disconnect signals are sent to calling and called lines.
Programmable network response delay simulates time delay after completion of
dialing. Simulated PBX mode returns dial tone after dialing 9. The secondary
call progress tone generates a single-frequency tone instead of dual-frequency
call progress tone. The programmable disconnect signal changes duration of the
disconnect-signal.
LCD
display of 2-line of sixteen characters:
