Communication Channel Security (applicable to Commercial
Burglary/Financial installations)

Notice!
Active and passive communication

Systems are passive-only communication systems when the
only communication method is over PSTN using the B430
module.
Systems that use the on-board Ethernet, B426 module, or a
cellular module are active or passive communication systems
depending on the programmed poll rates.

Applicable for both IP and cellular communication.

Requirement Parameter

Supervision interval for IP and
Cellular communication is 200

*Check-in/polling signal required every 180 seconds.
For equipment used at the protected premises intended to facilitate
communications (hubs, routers, NIM, cable modems) 24-hour backup
power is required. Where such cannot be facilitated a secondary (backup)
communication channel is required.
For using private, corporate, and high speed data networks, network
access and domain access policies must restrict unauthorized network
access, and “spoofing” or “denial of service” attacks. Select the internet
service providers that have redundant servers/systems, backup power,
routers with firewalls enabled, and methods to identify and protect
against “denial of service” attacks.
For using public switched and wireless data networks, communication
channels must be facilitated such that the communicator will restrict
unauthorized access which could otherwise compromise security.

Refer to Wiring, page 15. The central station receiver must
receive fire alarms in 60 seconds and trouble signals in 90
seconds.

Test the transmission on each communication channel every 24 hours.

2

Check-in/polling signal required every 90 seconds.
To monitor a complete fire system, each ULC labeled intrusion system
must be connected to a ULC labeled fire alarm control panel. The system
must transmit system fire alarms, and supervisory and troubles signals to
the central station receiver.

Programming

You must follow the notes in the installation and programming
sections describing the system configurations for ULC Listed
installations.

Protecting the control panel – Burglary

The local control panel and local power supply must be
protected in one of the following ways:
– The control panel and power supply must be located within

the area of greatest protection on a tamper protected
circuit.

– When arming, each area must arm the area that is

protecting the control panel and any external power supply
running an audible device. This might require duplicate
protection armed by each area. Access to this protected
area, without causing an alarm, requires that all areas are
disarmed.

1.3.2 Fire monitoring communication systems wiring diagrams

These wiring diagrams are also representative for Commercial
Burglary Monitoring applications.

Notice!
ULC-S559 communication requirements

Passive systems must send alarm signals over both
communication devices programmed as primary.
All non-PSTN systems must send reports to the central station
using encryption.

Notice!

ULC-S559 for passive systems allows for any compatible
communication devices to be used in tandem for the
communication system (per section 5.4.2 of S559-13) with the
exceptions of S559-13, section 5.4.1. Where passive
communication systems are used, there shall be two or more
separate communication channels and at least two of the
passive communication channels shall use non-interdependent
types of communications. A communication channel is a path
extending from the protected premises.
Exception: If only one type of passive communication is
available at the protected premises, there shall be two channels
provided. Separate paths throughout the protected premises
and through any common carrier or third party communications
network to the fire signal receiving center shall be provided for
each communication channel.

Improper installation
can be a fire hazard

.

WARNING!

Incorrect wiring will
damage this
equipment.
Devices powered by
any output must be
supervised.

The equipment should be installed in accordance with the NFPA 70 (National Electrical
Code) and NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code).
Depending on the application, the installation may need to be in accordance with one or
more of the following UL standards: UL681, UL1076, UL1641 and C22.1, CEC, Part 1.

Use of a D185 is not suitable for remote station protected premises service where separate
transmissions circuits are required for fire, supervisory (when applicable) and trouble
signals.

Refer to the system wiring diagrams in the B9512G/B8512G
ULLD and to the D125B Installation Instructions for compatible
smoke detectors. 2-wire Compatible Identifier “A”. Printed
information describing proper installation, operation, testing,
maintenance, repair service and response to an alarm is to be
provided with this equipment.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
The Power Supply provides a maximum of 1.4 Amps for the Control Panel and all Accessory Devices. For System Loading,
refer to the B9512G/B8512G UL Listing Document, ULLD. Auxiliary powered devices: 11.8 to 12.5 VDC

The system is intended to be checked by a Qualified Technician at least every 3 years. The types of initiating circuits the control
panel has been approved for are A, M, WF, SS. The types of signaling the control panel has been approved for are DAC, OT, NC,
RevPol.

Battery: Replace every 3 to
5 years with one or two
Model D126 or D1218 12V
Lead Acid Batteries.
