Telephone Requirements and Warnings
Product Description
PS-Tools Programming Utility
The PS-Tools Programming Utility can be used to locally or remotely program the FACP directly
from most IBM compatible personal computers (PC), running Windows
®
XP (or newer). FACP
program files can also be created and stored on the PC and then downloaded later to the control
panel. The P/N: PK-CD includes the Windows-based Programming Utility software on CD-ROM
with on-line help file. A standard USB cable with male-A to male-B connectors, which must be
purchased separately, is required for local connection of the PC to the USB port J11 on the FACP
main circuit board. Remote programming requires that the PC have a 2400 baud (or faster)
modem.
Important: Remote modification of FACP programming requires that the panel be enabled for
remote download (refer to “Remote Download” on page 113). Remote interrogation of panel pro-
gramming, history logs, detector status, etc., is possible without enabling the remote download
option.
1.7 Telephone Requirements and Warnings
1.7.1 Telephone Circuitry
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) = 0.0B
AC Impedance: 10.0 Mega Ohm
Complies with FCC Part 68
Mates with RJ31X Male Connector
Supervision Threshold: loss of phone line voltage for 2 minutes
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone
line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line as determined by the total RENs,
contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
1.7.2 Digital Communicator
Before connecting the control panel to the public switched telephone network, the installation of
two RJ31X jacks is necessary. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty
information, please contact:

Important! The DACT must not be used to dial a phone number that is call-forwarded.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by
the ACTA. On the inside of the FACP door is a label that contains, among other
information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this
number must be provided to the telephone company.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency
situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment (telephone, answering system, com-
puter modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment must
be connected to a properly installed RJ31X jack that is electrically in series with and ahead of all
other equipment attached to the same telephone line. If there are any questions concerning these
