SPECIFICATIONS

 

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

 

Front panel control:

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

OH/busy indicator (eight) LED display

Power indicator

RJ45 connector for optional Ethernet interface

 

Rear panel control:

25-pin D-sub RS232 connector

Power switch

Power connector

 

Electrical characteristics for each line:

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.

 

RS232C Interface:

Speed: Selectable between 9600 and 151200 baud, with one stop bit, no parity bit

The interface signals: Receive Data, Transmit Data, Data Set Ready, Clear-to-send, and ground. CTS signal controls for output to PC.

Cable (25-pin M/9-pin F) is provided.

Received alarm messages are computed for the checksum.

 

Dimensions: 19.0 in (48.3 cm) Wide x 3.3 in (8.38 cm) High x 12.0 in (30.5 cm) Long.

Weight: 15 lbs. (7 kg).

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.

Output signals to PC at RS232:

Output format is selectable between Micro Seven and Digital Security controls Ltd, MLR2E format by software.

1.      Micro Seven fomat:

     L<line number>sixteen digit alarm signal<carriage return signal 0xdh>

2.  Digital Security controls Ltd, MLR2E, software not provided by Micro Seven.

 

Micro Seven Receiver software which is included as no charge provided no technical support and no liability from Micro Seven for Micro Seven output format:

1.      It is Windows type.

2.      Decode events and display with date/time

3.      Email transmissions ON/OFF

4.      Output displayed data to printer port at another RS232 interface, ON/OFF

5.      Generate sounds upon receiving alarm messages, ON/OFF

6.      Store decoded alarm messages in a file

 

The main screen of the receiver software is displayed as shown below. The left hand side shows consecutive received alarm messages from line number (1-4), consecutive alarm message number, month/date/year/time, complete alarm message, account number, event qualifier, event code with decoded event, user/zone and partition.

The right hand side of the screen shows programmed modes for email on/off, printer on/off, sound on/off and programming data for email transmission, printer and sound. The decoded alarm messages are saved as history file in computer disk file and also they are transmitted to RS232 printer when enabled.

Micro Seven Software/Simultaneous receiving alarm messages at all lines for Micro Seven format:

 

CT400 supports receiving alarm signals simultaneously at all lines. Received alarm messages are shown in PC screen and are also archived in “al”. To prove that CT400 can receive alarm signals at all lines simultaneously, an incoming telephone call is connected to all four lines. The archived file showed the result below: The first line indicates that the received line number.
