Annunciator Control System
DN-60686:A1
General
The Universal Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (UDACT-
2) is designed for use on Notifier Fire Alarm Control Panels and
on the NCA-2 Network Control Annunciator. When used in con-
junction with the NCA-2 network control annunciator, the
UDACT-2 can report the status of all control panels on
NOTI•FIRE•NET™. The UDACT-2 transmits system status to UL
listed Central Station Receivers via the public switched tele-
phone network. The UDACT-2 can be installed in the panel cab-
inet or remotely in a separate enclosure.
NOTE: The UDACT-2 can also be used with legacy panels.
Please refer to the UDACT-2 manual for more information.
The UDACT-2 upload/download programming and firmware
updates are accomplished with VeriFire Tools. Refer to the Pro-
gramming Section for further details.
The UDACT-2 is capable of transmitting the status of software
zones (Alarm and Trouble), System Trouble, Panel Off-Normal,
Supervisory, Bell Trouble, Low Battery, and AC Fail. The
UDACT-2 is capable of transmitting all of the zone and point sta-
tus associated with each panel.
When the UDACT-2 is used with the NFS-3030, NFS2-3030,
and NCA-2 it is capable of reporting up to 2,040 points. Report-
ing may be in the form of points or zones (refer to the UDACT-2
manual for specific reporting parameters). Points transmitted
may be programmed for a variety of types, including fire, water-
flow, supervisory, etc.
NOTE: Descriptions regarding point capacity, listed above, are for
receivers which receive in Ademco Contact ID format. See chart
on page 2 for compatible receivers.

Programming
The UDACT-2 programming is created and downloaded using
VeriFire Tools. This enables the unit to be programmed prior to
installation, be easily modified, and saved either online or
offline. A printed report with point or zone information can be
generated from VeriFire Tools for an ONYX Series panel or net-
work annunciator. The point report consists of the central station
point address, ACS point, ACS point function, panel label, panel
point, type code, custom and extended label, alarm verification,
walktest participation, presignal, and PAS information. The zone
report consists of a grid with the central station point address,
ACS point address, source, ACS point function, custom label
and panel label. This report may be sent to the Central Station
for their records. VeriFire Tools also supports upgrading the
UDACT-2 operating firmware.
