INTRODUCTION
Micro
Seven Model AP72, 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 AP72. PC also sends
telephone number to AP72. Since the alarm messages, telephone numbers, and AP72
Control Register for storing programming parameters are stored in non-volatile
memory in AP72, so single ASCII command at RS232C interface starts alarm
reporting process. After AP72 dials a telephone number for a receiver, the
receiver answers the call and transmits the handshake tones. Depending on which
protocol mode that is selected, AP72 transmits one of three protocol messages
to alarm receiver. AP72 sends status messages back to PC. If the alarm
reporting is not successful, AP72 transmits a different status message to PC.
Transmission of alarm messages is repeated for four times if AP72 does not
receive positive acknowledge tone. The whole sequence, which involves
re-dialing of telephone number, may be repeated for three times. AP72 contains
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 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: 115200 baud, no parity, and 8-bit character, no handshakes
Automatic
dialer: AP70 and AP72 are capable for stand-alone auto-dialing feature
which is effective in testing central station telephone lines. AP72monitor.exe
provides programming of protocol, telephone number and alarm message for each
incoming line of alarm central station. When app is running, emails are
transmitted to your email address when messages are not transmitted to central
station correctly and also history file is created in the same directly as
AP72moniitor.exe to record protocols, telephone number, alarm messages and
time/date. For email transmission, you need your own SMTP (email) server. SMTP
server programming is accomplished with a separate software that Micro Seven
provides. Number of line that AP72 supports is 512. Number of line that AP70
supports is 104.
Operating
features that are different between AP70 and AP72:
1.
Baud-rate: AP70: 9600, AP72: 115200
2.
Number of lines that are supported: AP70:
104, AP72: 512
3.
Programming software of auto-dialing
feature
4.
Status messages and debug messages: AP70: included,
AP72: not included
Estimated
time to test all 512 lines: (supplementary information):
Estimated
time varies depending on how soon each central station receiver generates
handshake-signal. Assuming testing one line takes one minute for Contact-ID,
Pulse 4+2 or SIA-format FSK F1, testing of 512 lines may take as much as eight
and half hours.
DTMF
tone frequencies:
Transmitting DTMF tone
frequencies at AP15 and AP72 are accurate within -0.027% of the specifications.
And their transmitting DTMF tones amplitude is selected for high or low power
output level (see AP15 control register below for programming transmission
level).
The measured DTMF frequencies
for the factory default values are as follows while the standard values are in
parenthesis:
696 Hz (697Hz), 769Hz (770Hz), 851Hz
(851Hz), 941Hz (941Hz), 1212Hz (1209Hz), 1334Hz (1336Hz), 1481Hz (1477Hz), and
1633Hz (1633Hz)
In AP72, frequencies of DTMF
tones are programmable using new “ap15progV2.0.exe” for +/- 1% to +/- 5%, i.e.
The frequency of 697 Hz is adjustable between 662 Hz and 732Hz for eleven
steps. The frequency of 1633Hz is adjustable between 1551Hz and 1715Hz for
eleven steps. The programming of DTMF tone frequencies allows evaluation of
Contact-ID alarm receivers.
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: AP72 prepares 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 AP72.
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 AP72.
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.

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:
WACB2
Handshake
