INTRODUCTION
Micro
Seven Model AP80, PC-Alarm Panel or Alarm-Panel Simulator, transmits
Contact-ID, Pulse 4X2 or SIA-FORMAT alarm messages to alarm receivers by
starting commands sent at USB interface in PC. PC sends ASCII alarm message for
Contact-ID and Pulse 4X2 or Hexadecimal messages to AP80. PC also sends
telephone number to AP80. Since the alarm messages, telephone numbers, and AP80
Control Register for storing programming parameters are stored in non-volatile
memory in AP80, so single ASCII command at USB interface starts alarm reporting
process. After AP80 dials a telephone number for a receiver, the receiver
answers the call and transmits the handshake tones. Depending on which protocol
mode that is selected, AP80 transmits one of three protocol messages to alarm receiver.
AP80 sends status messages back to PC. If the alarm reporting is not
successful, AP80 transmits a different status message to PC. Transmission of
alarm messages is repeated for four times if AP80 does not receive positive
acknowledge tone. The whole sequence, which involves re-dialing of telephone
number, may be repeated for three times. AP80 contains audio monitor internally
to hear dialing process, handshake signals, alarm signal transmission, and
acknowledge tone/kiss-off tone. AC/DC adapter for 117VAC and interfacing cable
between PC and AP20 is provided. International AC/DC power adapter is available
as an option. Alarm receiver with FXS and FXO ports, model LS15E+TRIPLE, with
all three protocols, Contact-ID, SIA-Format, and Pulse 4X2, is available for
your alarm receiver/simulator. USB interface provides power for AP80. AP80
receives power from USB port so that no AC/DC power adapter is needed.
SPECIFICATIONS
USB
interface: Employs USB/RS232 converter inside of AP80. 9600 baud, no
parity, and 8-bit character, no handshakes
DTMF
tone frequencies:
Transmitting DTMF tone
frequencies at AP15 and AP80 are accurate within -0.027% of the specifications.
And their transmitting DTMF tones amplitude is selected for high or low power
output level (see AP15 control register below for programming transmission
level).
The measured DTMF frequencies
for the factory default values are as follows while the standard values are in
parenthesis:
696 Hz (697Hz), 769Hz (770Hz), 851Hz
(851Hz), 941Hz (941Hz), 1212Hz (1209Hz), 1334Hz (1336Hz), 1481Hz (1477Hz), and
1633Hz (1633Hz)
In AP80, frequencies of DTMF
tones are programmable using new “ap15progV2.0.exe” for +/- 1% to +/- 5%, i.e.
The frequency of 697 Hz is adjustable between 662 Hz and 732Hz for eleven
steps. The frequency of 1633Hz is adjustable between 1551Hz and 1715Hz for
eleven steps. The programming of DTMF tone frequencies allows evaluation of
Contact-ID alarm receivers.
Telephone number entry: D<telephone number-maximum fifteen
digits><CR>
for example D5035551212<CR> for dialing 5035551212. Note <CR> is a
carriage return.
Warning: each telephone number digit must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, *, #, or , (comma). Note: comma adds two seconds
delay between digits.
Alarm message entry for Contact-ID or Pulse 4X2:
S( in maximum 15 ASCII characters for Contact-ID or 6
ASCII characters for Pulse 4X2)<CR> for Contact-ID or Pulse 4X2
Note: AP80 prepares checksum at the end of string for Contact-ID.
Warning: ASCII character for Contact-ID must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, B, C, D, E, or F. All other character may result in failed transmissions. Please note that ‘A’ is an illegal character for Contact-ID alarm message.
Warning: ASCII character for Pulse 4+2 must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. All other character may result in failed transmissions.
Alarm
message entry for SIA-FORMAT:
Because alarm message for SIA-FORMAT contains binary number, input requires
hexadecimal number. It is memory write command for storing memory address 0D0H
or 0xD0. The memory address is 0D0h, 0D1H, 0D2H, 0D3H, 0D4H------. The end of
message is indicated by 0FFH.
For example, sending an address block data of 46 23 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 requires the following:
KD046KD123KD230KD330KD430KD531KD631KD731.
Note: The column parity byte is automatically prepared and attached at the end
of message by AP80.
New entry format is also
available to enter hexadecimal notation with ‘S’ header as follows:
S(hexadecimal two character ASCII)
(hexadecimal two character ASCII)-----.
For example, sending an address block data of 46 23 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 requires the
following:
S0623303030313131<CR>
Note: The column-parity byte is automatically prepared and attached at the end
of message by AP80.
Protocol selection:
W7F00 for selecting
Contact-ID, W7F01 for selecting SIA-FORMAT, or W7F02 for selecting Pulse 4X2.
Start
alarm reporting: G
Start alarm reporting process by dialing the telephone number,
receive handshake tones, transmit data blocks, and receive kiss-off tones.
Hang-up
command or Abort command: A
Turn off off-hook relay or abort alarm-reporting process.
Repeat
alarm message command: B
It transmits alarm message again. Transmitting alarm messages must
be programmed prior to sending this repeat alarm message command.

AP20 transmits programmed telephone numbers to PC.
Reading
alarm-message command: U
AP20 transmits programmed data block to PC in hexadecimal
notation.
