INTRODUCTION

Micro Seven Model AP71, PC-Alarm Panel or Alarm-Panel Simulator, transmits Contact-ID, Pulse 4X2 or SIA-FORMAT alarm messages to alarm receivers by starting commands sent at RS232C interface in PC. PC sends ASCII alarm message for Contact-ID and Pulse 4X2 or Hexadecimal messages to AP71. PC also sends telephone number to AP71. Since the alarm messages, telephone numbers, and AP71Control Register for storing programming parameters are stored in non-volatile memory in AP71, so single ASCII command at RS232C interface starts alarm reporting process. After AP71dials a telephone number for a receiver, the receiver answers the call and transmits the handshake tones. Depending on which protocol mode that is selected, AP71transmits one of three protocol messages to alarm receiver. AP71sends status messages back to PC. If the alarm reporting is not successful, AP71transmits a different status message to PC. Transmission of alarm messages is repeated for four times if AP71does not receive positive acknowledge tone. The whole sequence, which involves re-dialing of telephone number, may be repeated for three times. AP71contains audio monitor internally to hear dialing process, handshake signals, alarm signal transmission, and acknowledge tone/kiss-off tone. AC/DC adapter for 117VAC and interfacing cable between PC and AP20 is provided. International AC/DC power adapter is available as an option. Alarm receiver with FXS and FXO ports, model LS15E+TRIPLE, with all three protocols, Contact-ID, SIA-Format, and Pulse 4X2, is available for your alarm receiver/simulator.

SPECIFICATIONS

RS232C interface: 9600 baud, no parity, and 8-bit character, no handshakes
Telephone number entry: D<telephone number-maximum fifteen digits><CR>
for example D5035551212<CR> for dialing 5035551212. Note <CR> is a carriage return.
Warning: each telephone number digit must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, *, #, or , (comma). Note: comma adds two seconds delay between digits.

Alarm message entry for Contact-ID or Pulse 4X2:
S( in maximum 15 ASCII characters for Contact-ID or 6 ASCII characters for Pulse 4X2)<CR> for Contact-ID or Pulse 4X2
Note: AP71prepares checksum at the end of string for Contact-ID.

Warning: ASCII character for Contact-ID must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, B, C, D, E, or F. All other character may result in failed transmissions. Please note that ‘A’ is an illegal character for Contact-ID alarm message.

Warning: ASCII character for Pulse 4+2 must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. All other character may result in failed transmissions.

Alarm message entry for SIA-FORMAT:
Because alarm message for SIA-FORMAT contains binary number, input requires hexadecimal number. It is memory write command for storing memory address 0D0H or 0xD0. The memory address is 0D0h, 0D1H, 0D2H, 0D3H, 0D4H------. The end of message is indicated by 0FFH.
For example, sending an address block data of 46 23 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 requires the following:
KD046KD123KD230KD330KD430KD531KD631KD731.
Note: The column parity byte is automatically prepared and attached at the end of message by AP71.

New entry format is also available to enter hexadecimal notation with ‘S’ header as follows:

S(hexadecimal two character ASCII) (hexadecimal two character ASCII)-----.
For example, sending an address block data of 46 23 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 requires the following:
S0623303030313131<CR>
Note: The column-parity byte is automatically prepared and attached at the end of message by AP71.

Protocol selection:
W7F00 for selecting Contact-ID, W7F01 for selecting SIA-FORMAT, or W7F02 for selecting Pulse 4X2.

Start alarm reporting: G
Start alarm reporting process by dialing the telephone number, receive handshake tones, transmit data blocks, and receive kiss-off tones.

Hang-up command or Abort command: A
Turn off off-hook relay or abort alarm-reporting process.

Repeat alarm message command: B
It transmits alarm message again. Transmitting alarm messages must be programmed prior to sending this repeat alarm message command.

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.

Continuous message transmission mode without turning off telephone relay:
Instead of transmitting single message, multiple messages are transmitted by sending “WACB2”.

Single message transmission mode:
WACB0

Multiple message transmission mode:
WACB

Protocol selection:
W7F+(2-digit hexadecimal number):
1. Contact-ID: 00
2. Pulse: (0-5 )2, i.e. 02 for Pulse P3 mode, 32 for Pulse P4 mode, etc.
3. FSK F1: 01
4. FSK F2: 08

For example, W7F00 for selecting Contact-ID. W7F32 for Pulse P4 mode.

Programmable pulse mode: one mode is available for programming of kiss-off tone, handshake tone, etc. using AP71.exe software;
-One or two round message
-1400/2300Hz Handshake signal
-1400/2300Hz Kiss-off tone
-1800/1850/1900 carrier frequency
-checksum and verification on/off
-one/two bytes data (alarm field)-10/20/33 PPS
-3 /4 byte ID(account) field

Selection of handshake and kiss-off signals detection for SIA-FSK FOPMAT F2: selectable between 1400 and 2300Hz

SIA-FSK FOPMAT F1 mode:

Signal transmission of data block for SIA-FORMAT: 300 baud or 110 baud selectable
Pairty bit (9^th bit): enabled/disabled
Wrong column parity: enabled/disabled
Acknowledge tone detection: 2025Hz for positive acknowledgement and 2225Hz for negative acknowledgement.
