Transmitted Messages (SIA & Contact-ID)
General Message Format
Messages are transmitted to the monitoring station using either the "SIA Level II" or "Contact ID" format.
NOTICE:
The message formats described here are NOT to be confused with messages provided by the
receiver software. (Those messages will typically include the information discussed here, along with date/time
information and proprietary formatting.)
SIA Level II Format
Messages that reference an area: N riSSSS / XX PPP
System Messages (no area reference): N XX PPP
Where: Sample Messages Meaning
N This indicates a "new event". N ri2 / BA 227 Burg. alarm associated with
area 2; door 27. (Also see
"Door Activity", to follow.)
Ri This indicates "area" (i.e., the next number is
an area reference).
SSSS This is the area number/ID. N ri4 / BA 73 Burg. alarm associated with
area 4; input-point 73.
XX This is a two-character SIA alarm code (refer to
the SIA message list).
PPP This is the number/ID for the input point or user
associated with the event, or optional
information (depending on the type of event). N UX2 Digital dialer communications
test signal.
When creating an account message template: Enter only the two-digit SIA code.
(The "N" is processed automatically by the receiver.)
Account Number Information: This is sent in another message-type, and is automatically understood by the receiver software.
User IDs 998 and Higher: The SIA format supports unique user numbers up to 997 only (998 and above will appear as "998").
User ID "999" is considered to be the "automatic user"--which means an event that was triggered by the system.
Contact ID Format
All CID-Format Messages: CCCC QEEE GG ZZZ
Where: Sample Messages Meaning
CCCC The account number 1234 1110 02 003 Account 1234, Fire Alarm
detected in area 02 by
input-point 003.
Q An event qualifier: "1" is a new event (shown
as "E" in the contact-ID message list), and "3"
means a restoral (shown as "R" in the list).
EEE This is a three character CID alarm code (refer
to the Contact-ID message list). 1234 1301 01 000 Account 1234, AC trouble
(reported as Area 1 by default)
GG This is the "area" number/ID.
ZZZ This is the number/ID for the input point (zone)
or the user associated with the event. 1234 3301 01 000 Account 1234, AC restoral
(reported as Area 1 by default)
When creating an account message template: Enter only the three-digit CID code.
(The leading event qualifier is processed automatically by the receiver.)
User IDs 998 and Higher: The CID format supports unique user numbers up to 997 only (998 and above will appear as "998").
User ID "999" is considered to be the "automatic user"--which means an event that was triggered by the system.
Door Activity
Access-controlled doors report burglar or tamper alarms as regular access door input numbers 201 through 232 for Monitor ISM
systems and 501 through 532 for Monitor xL systems when an area is armed. The leading digit “2” defines the activity as a
burglary type alarm. The secondary two digits identify the door ID/numbers 1 to 32.
Door Forced alarms report as “burgs” but are identified by the leading digit: 3. If "door forced" is configured, it reports as "3" when
the area is disarmed. It will report as a "2" followed by a "3" ("door forced" if configured) when an area is armed. 301 to 332 are
door-forced alarms for doors: 1 - 32.
Door Held Open alarms report as “burgs” but are identified by the leading digit: 4. If "door held open" is configured, it reports as "4"
when the area is disarmed. Like "door forced", it is possible to receive a "2" (burg) followed by a "4" ("door held", if configured)
when an area is armed. 401 to 432 are door held open alarms for doors: 1 - 32.
However, when an area is armed, it is not possible to receive a 2, 3 and a 4. If a door is forced, a 2 and a 3 are received. If a door
is opened by an access device and held open, a 2 and a 4 are received. Similarly, restores for
these alarms report as “burg
restore” for door point alarms: 201 - 232, door forced alarms: 301 - 332 and door held open alarms 401 - 432.
