SYSTEM FEATURES & OPERATION
Introduction
The 7720PLUS self-contained synthesized subscriber radio is the subscriber end of a Long Range
Radio alarm reporting system. As a communications link, by analogy to a telephone-based system,
the 7720PLUS is comparable to a digital communicator connected by telephone line to a central
monitoring station.
Synthesized Frequency Selection
All alarm and status messages are transmitted to the master station netwo rk via radio sign als, wh ich
means faster and more secure reporting.
The 7720PLUS can be programmed to oper ate on any authorized radio freque ncy. It is not
necessary to stock a separate radio for each frequency the installer supports.
Wireless Reporting
Integrated Electronics
The entire radio link equipment, except for the AC power supply unit, including interface,
transmitter, battery and antenna, is housed in a single package, requiring only alarm inputs from a
compatible alarm panel.
Selection of Input Interfaces
The 7720PLUS can monitor alarm inputs from the Ademco ECP interface, discrete 4 zone contact
closures or their electrica l equivalent
NOTE: ECP features are compatible only with 685 software revision 4.7 and higher, and
685-5 software revision 8.1 and higher.
Compatibility
The 7720PLUS is compatible with existing installations using ADEMCO equipment or other control
panels. The 7720PLUS can be used in conjunction with digital communicators on the same system,
both acting as backup to one another (use an ADEMCO 659-EN Line Monitor connected to a zone
input to report a line cut to backup a digital d ialer), wh ile connecting the radio fault output to a zo ne
on the dialer.
Built-in LED Indicators
Three LEDs are used to indicate message transmissions, and radio faults. A blinking yellow LED
indicates normal operation. (See LED Table Page 4).
Built-in Tamper Protection
For added protection, built- in cover tamp er switche s will trigge r an alarm whene ver the chassis co ver
is removed, thus protecting against unauthorized access to the 7720PLUS. The tamper zone number
must be entered during programming to enable tamper reporting. A radio configured for ECP will
automatically report the tamper status to the control panel, as well as to the Central Station
Antenna Included
The 7720PLUS can use either the supplied omni-directional wire antenna, or can use a 7825 outdoor
antenna, 7625 omni-directional antenna, 7625-3DB antenna (if add itional gain is required), a 7674, a
7674-13 YAGI antenna (if a directional antenna is required), by using the optional 7720ANT
connector kit. For wall mounting, an optional 7825DP can be used. The supplied antenna mounts
directly to the7720PLUS. The antennas (other than the wire and the dipole) can be mounted
remotely, if desired, using the follow ing pre-assembled coaxial cable, available from ADEMCO: 5ft
– 3 –
coax (P/N 7626-5), 12ft coax (P/N 7626-12), 25ft coax (P/N 7626-25HC), and 50ft coax (P/N 762650HC).
Programmable Features
The 7720PLUS utilizes EEPROM (Electrically Erasable ROM) technology, which allows the
7720PLUS to be programmed with a 7720P Programming Tool. The programming options include
radio frequency channel number (1 to 14), Telco channel assignments for fault input, inverted trigger
inputs, delayed reporting channels (1-127 seconds delay, if selected), open/close/restore reporting
channels, etc.
Self -Diagnosing Transmitter
Malfunctions of the transmitter, including antenna fault, radio transmitter fault, loss of external
power, and low internal DC voltage can be displayed on the 7720P programming tool or rep orted on
the ECP interface, as well as being transmitted to the master station, if the fault does no t prevent
such transmission. Faults can also trigger contact closures on a Form “C” relay to indicate radio
faults.
Power Supply
The 7720PLUS is powered byan AC wall transformer, part number (TBD), whichpro vides 12 volts AC
to the radio on pins 1 and 2 of the terminal block. An internal rechargeable battery provides power to
the radio in the event of AC power outage. This battery is charged from the AC power supply during
normal operation of the radio.
Low Battery Monitoring
The 7720PLUS will notify the central station of a low battery condition whe never the battery voltage
drops below 9.93V (+/- 2%). Low battery restore message s are reported “” when the battery voltage
reaches 10.03V (+/-2.5%). A radio configured for ECP will report the battery status to the control
panel as well as to the central station.
Low Battery Shutdown
In the absence of AC power,
automatically shutdown and ALL LEDs WILL BE OFF. However, so long as there is AC power, in the
normal range of 102 to 138 VAC at the wall outle t, the radio will ope rate properly, re gardless of the
condition of the battery.
if battery voltage drops below 9.45 volts, the 7720PLUS will
General Operation
The 7720PLUS receives alarm and restore signals fro m the alarm control panel and converts these
signals to radio messages which are transmitted to the master station ne twork, which in turn relays
the messages to the central station. The 7720PLUS can monitor 4 traditional zone inpu ts or an ECP
signal line from an appropriate control panel. The first two zones may be configured by the use of a
jumper, to activate on either 0 volts or 4.5-14.2VDC ; zones 3 and 4 are hard- wired to activate on 4.5-
14.2VDC. Zones 1-4 can also be programmed to invert the sense of their input signals. (Zones
normally are activated when the signal go es to a positive voltage. Inverting the zo ne trigger means
that the zone will be activated whe n the signal g oes to g round. The pull-up voltage for zone s 1 and 2
can be supplied by changing a jumper, if desired; pull-up voltage for any of the zones can be supplied
from the radio thru external resistors, or from an alarm panel.)
Upon detecting an alarm or restor al, the 7720PLUS will transmit the message s to the master station
network.The transmissions will repeat f or approximately 6 minutes (total of 60 messages) to ensure
that the alarm or other report will be received by the central monitoring station.
The 7720PLUS periodically transmits superviso ry status messages to the AlarmNet ne twork. Radio
faults that are indicated during transmissions may prevent communication; to prevent this, the fault
output (available in zone mode only) can be p rogrammed to also indicate radio faults (programming
– 4 –
the fault output is explained later in this chapter). If no messages are received during the supervisory
window, the network will generate a communication failure signal to the central station.
Available in zone mode only is a contact closure used to locally indicate a radio fault. This can be
either normally open or normally closed. In addition it can be selected to be “fail-safe” by
programming the fault output to be inverted (i.e. the relay is powered unless there is a fault). The
fault output is between TB1-11 and TB1-12, which float with reference to the rest of the circuit.
Also available in zone mode only is the ability for the 7720PLUS to provide status inf ormation via its
serial port, thus allowing radio status to be displayed on command, using either a 7720P
Programming Tool or a computer terminal. Refer to the TESTING THE 7720PLUS section for
information regarding the “S” command and status messages.

SETTING THE JUMPER OPTIONS (Set Before Installing)
Removing The Cover
Remove the 7720PLUS’s cover by inse rting a screwdriver into the 4 removal points at the bottom of
the unit and gently releasing the locking tabs from the cover slots as shown.
.
(J2) Zone Inputs Activate on High or Low
If using zone input connections, set the J2 jumper so that zo ne 1 & 2 inpu ts are activ ated eithe r with
a ground or with a positive voltage, whichever is required.
If the trigger level is se t for positive voltage, +4.5 to +14.2 volts must be applied to zones 1 & 2 to
trigger an alarm. If the zone is connected to a normally high vo ltage trigger (i.e. goes low on alarm),
invert this zone when programming (questions 13 and 14).
If ground is selected, zones 1 & 2 are internally pulle d up to 5 volts throug h a 10k ohm resistor. This
voltage should normally be pulled down (closed contact to ground) and released for alarm (opening the
contact). If a normally open contact is being used, invert this zone when programming (que stions 13
and 14).
(J3) Fault Output Select
Refer to the diagram on the following page when setting jumpers.

The radio fault output relay may be programmed for either FAIL-SAFE mode (relay always
energized) or LOW CURRENT mode (relay normally de-energized) by selecting Yes or No to

operation (in either fail-safe or low current modes) using the J1 jumper. When fail-safe mode is
selected, the relay will change state s (and trigger a dialer, if connected) in the event of power loss.
Note that fail-safe mode increases the standby current by about 10mA, which results in lowe r battery
backup time (about 15%) in the event of powe r loss. Set the J1 jumper to p osition A or position B, as
follows:

Wiring For ECP Communication with a Control Panel
Only certain panels support ECP data communication at this time. Check the Installation
Instructions of your panel to see if Long Range Radio is supported.
ECP data connections are the Data In and Data Out te rminals that the key pad s and o ther p erip he ral
devices (RF Receiver, VIP module, etc.) use for communication with the panel. To wire the radio for
ECP communication, do the following:
Connect TB1-4 (Ground) of the 7720PLUS to the ground of the panel.
Connect TB1-5 (ECP DATA IN) of the 7720PLUS to “data out to consoles” connection on the panel.
Connect TB1-6 (ECP DATA OUT) of the 7720PLUS to “data in from consoles” connection on the panel.
Note: add ground wire to drawing below. (See page 10a)

Mounting
Determine the best antenna location for strong radio communication with the Master Station network
using the 7715DFFAST Tool (see pages 21 - 23). Mount the 7720PLUS to a horizontal or vertical
surface, depending on the antenna used. Be sure to allow access to the programming port when
mounting. The 7720PLUS is intended to be mo unted to a horizontal surface, pre ferably on a ceiling,
or in an attic location on top of a joist when using the supplied wire antenna. If using the 7720ANT
antenna kit, the 7720PLUS can be mounted to a vertical surface such as a wall or beam.
Powering Up
After all wiring is complete and the unit is mounted, plug the
the connector nex t to the terminal block, the n

PROGRAMMING THE 7720PLUS
Using A 7720P Programming Tool
The 7720P Programming Tool is powere d by the 7720PLUS, and connects to the telephone connecto r
on the 7720PLUS PC Board. Please note the the 7720P is not functional when the radio is running in
ECP mode; it is functional only during power-up of an ECP radio.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of the older 7720P tools (those shipped prior to mid-1998) will
not function if the line voltage is too low. These can be modified using instructions
supplied on request, or they may be returned to Ademco for factory modification. All 7720
P tools currently shipping will work without difficulty.
Each key of the 7720P has two possible functions, a normal function and a SHIFT function. To
