Chapter 4: Dialer programming
46 FSC Series Technical Reference Manual
Before you begin
Programming the F-DACT(F) sets up the dialer for communication with the
central monitoring station. It also sets a number of other options such as date,
time, phone numbers, etc. Many of the options have default settings, which are
detailed below.
Programmable features
Here are some of the dialer’s programmable features:
• Passcode protection: Prevents unauthorized access to the panel’s
programming.
• Daylight saving time: Determines how much the system clock is adjusted for
daylight saving time and when it is adjusted.
• Dialer operating mode: Determines if the F-DACT(F) operates as a dual- or
single-line dialer, a modem, or only an LCD text display.
• Blind call dialing: Determines if the F-DACT(F) can dial out without waiting
for a dial tone.
• Callback security: Prevents someone at another location from dialing into
your control panel to access information.
You can only program this feature using the Fire Systems Configuration Utility:
• Swinger shutdown: Limits the number of consecutive identical events
transmitted for the same point.
Entering and exiting dialer program mode
Dialer program mode provides a separate set of options just for the dialer. It is
only available when a dialer is installed.
To enter dialer program mode:
1. Install the jumper on J3 (PRG).
The panel status LEDs start flashing to indicate local program mode is
activated.
2. If passcode protection is enabled, enter the passcode.
3. Select the Program DACT option. The quickest way is to press Signal Silence
& Drill then Remote Disconnect.
4. Enter Yes.
