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
seconds (UL)

Supervision interval for IP and
Cellular communication is 180
seconds (ULC)

Panel Wide Parameters > Enhanced

*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.

Fire Monitoring Communication Systems

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

1

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.
