INTRODUCTION
Micro
Seven Model AP20, PC-Alarm Panel, transmits SIA-FORMAT alarm messages to alarm
receivers by starting commands sent at RS232C interface in PC. PC sends ASCII
alarm message to AP20. PC also sends telephone number to AP20. Since the alarm
messages, telephone numbers, and AP20 Control Register for storing programming
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory in AP20, so a single ASCII command
at RS232C interface start alarm reporting process. After AP20 dials a telephone
number for a receiver, the receiver answers the call and transmits the handshake
tones. Then AP20 transmits several data blocks in FSK. If the receiver receives
the alarm message with correct column parity with acknowledge requested bit on,
it transmits acknowledge tone. AP20 sends status messages to PC. If the alarm
reporting is not successful, AP20 transmits a different status message to PC.
Transmission of alarm messages is repeated for four times if AP20 does not
receive positive acknowledge tone. The whole sequence, which involves
re-dialing of telephone number, may be repeated for three times. AP20 contains
audio monitor internally to hear dialing process, handshake signals, FSK
signals, and acknowledge tone. AC/DC adapter and interfacing cable between PC
and AP20 is provided. 220V AC/DC adapter is optional. SIA-Format alarm
receiver/simulator, model LS15SIA FORMAT, is recommended for alarm receiver.
SPECIFICATIONS
RS232C
interface: 9600 baud, no parity, and 8-bit character, RTS/CTS hardware
handshake
Telephone
number entry: D<telephone number-maximum fifteen digits><CR>
for example D5035551212<CR> for dialing 5035551212. Note <CR> is a
carriage return. It is stored in EEROM (non-volatile memory) in AP20.
Data
block entry: S(data block without column parity byte)<CR>
Note: AP20 prepares column pairty byte.
Start
alarm reporting: G
Start
alarm reporting process by dialing the telephone number, receive handshake
tones, transmit data blocks, receive kiss-off tones and hang up the line if
AP20 Control Register is programmed.
Hang-up
command or Abort command: A
Turn off off-hook relay in AP20 or abort alarm reporting process.
Repeat
alarm message command: B
It
transmits alarm message again.
Reading
telephone-number command: T
AP20
transmits programmed telephone numbers to PC.
Reading
alarm-message command: U
AP20
transmits programmed data block to PC in hexadecimal notation.
Handshake
tone detection: 2225Hz
Signal
transmission of data block: 300 baud
Pairty
bit (9th bit): enabled/disabled
Wrong
column parity: enabled/disabled
Acknowledge
tone detection: 2025Hz for positive acknowledgement and 2225Hz for negative
acknowledgement
Continuous transmitting several data blocks
without hanging up telephone line by sending “WACB2".
MESSAGE
SUCCESS
Note:
“MESSAGE SUCCESS” messages are also generated when messages do not require
kiss-off tones.

Audio
monitor:
audio speaker is included inside AP20 for hearing dialing process, handshake
tones from alarm receivers, FSK signals from AP20, and acknowledge tones from
alarm receivers. Audio monitor is to verify that AP20 is calling alarm
receivers, and it is a great tool to troubleshoot sending alarm signals to
alarm receivers.

The
demonstration program, which is available upon request, for using AP20 is shown
below with edit windows of entering messages and telephone number. It transmits
three data block messages in sequence.
How to send three data block from AP20:
1.
Transmit “D18005551212<CR>, for programming of
18005551212 for telephone number
2.
Transmit “WACB2" for not to hanging up delivering one
message.
3.
Sending address block data by transmitting “KD006KD123KD230KD330KD431KD531KD631KD731KD8DAKD9FF”
for hex codes of
06 23 30 30 31 31 31 31 DA FF
4.
Transmit “G” to start dialing and transmit messages.
5.
Wait to receive “MESSAGE SUCCESS” from AP20.
6.
Sending new alarm block with console emergency “KD044KD14EKD251KD341KD430KD530KD6E5KD7FF”
for sending 44 4E 51 41 30 30 E5 FF.
7.
Transmit “B” to deliver another data block.
8.
Wait to receive “MESSAGE SUCCESS” from AP20.
9.
Sending Listen-in command “KD042KD14CKD239KD330KD4F8KD5FF” for hex
codes of “42 4C 39 30 F8 FF”
10.
Transmit “B” to deliver another data block.
11.
Wait to receive “MESSAGE SUCCESS” from AP20.
12.
Transmit “A” to hang up the telephone.
