1 IPDACT - Internet Protocol Digital Alarm Communicator/
Transmitter
The IPDACT, IPDACT-2 and IPDACT-2UD are compact, Internet Protocol Digital Alarm Communicators/Transmitters
designed to allow FACP status communication to a Central Station via the internet. Using Contact ID protocol from the
FACP, the IPDACT Series convert the standard DACT phone communication to a protocol that can be transmitted and
received via the internet. They also check connectivity between the FACP and Central Station.
The IPDACT Series operate in conjunction with the VisorALARM receiver, located at the Central Station. The Visor
ALARM receives signals transmitted by the IPDACT Series over the internet, instead of the traditional public switched
telephone lines, and sends the signals through a serial port to automation software for processing.
The installer must determine whether the FACP has enough reserve auxiliary power (24 VDC nonresettable, filtered, reg-
ulated) to supply the IPDACT Series module. The following table lists the power requirements for each version of the
IPDACT.
If the FACP cannot supply sufficient auxiliary power, the IPDACT Series module requires an auxiliary power supply such
as the HP300ULX as described in Section 2.3.
