SPECIFICATIONS

 

Computer requirement for receiving alarm signal: any computer with Windows operating systems.

 

Emails are generated by special keyboard hardware and cable provided with CT300, and no special SMTP server or server software is required. Outlook software or gmail account is required to operate CT300.

Computer requirement for email:  A separate desk-top computer with regular PS/2 type keyboard in XP or Vista operating system is required.  Lap top or desk-top with wireless keyboard is not compatible.

 

Transmission of decoded alarm signal to preprogrammed email address is done during on-hook period after receiving multiple alarm messages from alarm panels. Email addresses for transmission are programmable by provided control software. Transmitted messages include account number, event qualifier, decoded event code, zone, and partition number. Selection between all alarm signals and selected event codes is provided. Email transmission to Internet is done during on-hook period of CT300 after storing received alarm messages in CT300 memory.

 

Configuration: FXS interface for connecting alarm panel directly without PBX circuit or FXO interface for connecting alarm panel via PBS circuit

 

DTMF detecting signal power for alarm messages: -23dBm to +5dBm per a frequency with maximum 4dB difference between frequencies

Alarm message DTMF signal on time (Burst ON time): 50 ms minimum

Alarm message DTMF signal off time (Burst OFF time): 50 ms minimum 400 ms maximum

Note: Contact ID protocol requires Burst ON and OFF times to be 50 ms minimum and 60 ms maximum.

Handshake tones:

1400: 1400+/- 1Hz, duration of 100 ms +/- 1.5 ms, silence period of 100 ms +/- 1.5 ms, and

2300Hz: 2300+/-2 Hz duration of 100 ms +/- 1.5 ms

 

Kiss-off tones:

1400 +/- 1 Hz with duration of 750 ms

 

Line Input Jacks: USOC-RJ11-C, standard modular phone jack

 

Characteristics for CT300 with FXO interface:

High voltage isolation: 1500VRMS between lines and RS232C connector.

Ring signal detector: opto-coupler

Signal isolation: telephone coupling transformer

Off-hook impedance: 50 ohms typical

High ON-hook impedance is obtained by off-hook mechanical relay.

Handshake tone is produced after 1.8 seconds when the off-hook relay is turned on.

 

Characteristics for CT300 with FXS interface:

Battery-feed voltage and loop current: 24 volt and 25 mA

Programmable inputting telephone number

Dial tone and ring-back tone

Disconnect signal

All other signals required for alarm receivers.

 

RS232C Interface:

Speed: 57600 baud, with one stop bit, no parity bit

The interface signals: Receive Data, Transmit Data, Data Set Ready, Clear-to-send, and ground. The Data Terminal Ready signal is forced high at CT300 meaning that a PC is always ready to receive data from CT300.

Connector: 9-pin D-sub on LS15E+ the rear panel

Cable(9-pin M/9-pin F) is provided.

Received alarm messages are computed for the checksum.

 

AC/DC Adapter: 117VAC +/- 5%, or 230VAC +/- 5%(for optional 230V AC/DC Adapter)

AC/DC Adapter or Car Battery Adapter input: 12VDC unregulated, 800mA maximum for FXO interface, 24VDC unregulated, 200 mA for FXS interface

Line Status Display: red LED for each line to indicate off-hook status (continuous on) 

Calibration: not required because digitally synthesized tones

Power-On Indicator: green LED display

Environmental: Operating temperature: 0 to 35 degree C, Humidity: 85% RH at 35 degree C

Warranty/Service: 6 months limited warranty. No warranty if any factory seal is broken. Service is performed at the factory, usually within 5 working days.

 

Reference: Digital Communication Standard-SIA DC-05-1999.09, Ademco Contact ID Protocol for Alarm System Communications
