Congratulations on selecting the Solution-16 control panel for your installation. So that you can obtain the most from
your unit, we suggest that you take the time to read through this manual and familiarise yourself with the numerous
outstanding operating and installation features of this control panel.
You will notice that in all aspects of planning, engineering, styling, operation, convenience and adaptability, we have sought
to anticipate your every possible requirement. Programming simplicity and speed have been some of the major
considerations and we believe that our objectives in this area have been more than satisfied.
This installation manual will explain all aspects of programming the
final commissioning. All system parameters and options are detailed, however, suitability is left up to the individual. Every
control panel can be tailored to meet all requirements quickly and easily. The programming simplicity will make your
installation quick, accurate and rewarding each and every time.
The
Solution range of control panels has proven very popular amongst thousands of people throughout many countries
of the world, all who have various levels of technical aptitude and ability. We have tried to aim this installation manual to
all levels of readers.
As the
Solution control panels have continued to advance over the years, they have become very powerful and extensive.
Some of its early first-time users have advanced to true "power users" and we need to address their needs too, while
maintaining the simplicity of the manual and the product.
The following steps will enable you to use the Solution-16 control panel with the factory default values.
1. Connect the AC plug pack to the control panel.
All zone indicators on the remote codepad will illuminate momentarily and then extinguish. Check the operation of
the overload LED (LD1) on the printed circuit board. In normal operation the LED will not illuminate. The MAINS
indicator will remain on, as will the AWAY indicator. The system is now in the armed state.
2. The lead acid back-up battery should now be connected. The lead acid rechargeable back-up battery should be rated
at 12v DC @ 6.5 Ah.
3. Enter the

will return to the disarmed state and is now ready for use.
8. Refer to page 42 for information on any system faults that may have occurred.
9. Using a Master Code set the date and time. Refer to "Master Code Functions" on page 50 for more information on
setting the date and time.
The factory default settings allow the control panel to communicate in Contact ID Format operating eight zones. For further
information on the factory default settings, refer to the "Programming Sheets" on page 211 at the back of the installation
manual. If sixteen zones are required, refer to "LOCATION 339" on page 112 for setting the split EOL resistor value or
"LOCATION 672" to enable the zone expansion board if required on page 163.

The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of
that device under all operating conditions.
This equipment shall not be used in any manner that could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.
Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.
The preferred method of dialling is to use DTMF tones as this is faster than pulse (Decadic) dialling. In some situations
there may be difficulties with DTMF signalling as this control panel is not fully compatible with the Telecom Telephone
Network. In this case you must use decadic dialling, and your control panel must be set up to record numbers using the
following translation table as it does not implement the New Zealand "Reverse Dialling" standard.
Number to be dialled 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Number to be programmed 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Note that where DTMF dialling is used, the numbers should be entered normally.
The transmit level from this device is set as a fixed level and because of this there may be circumstances where the
performance is less than optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the line with a standard
telepermitted telephone.
The programming options of this control panel are stored in a non-volatile EPROM. This memory will hold all the relevant
configuration and user specific data even during a total power loss.
The data retention time is as long as ten years without power, therefore, no reprogramming will be required after powering
the control panel down.
The data can be altered as many times as required without the need for any additional specialised equipment. This memory
is laid out in numerous locations, each of which holds the data for a specific function.
In general, the entire programming sequence will consist of nominating the location number required and then entering or
altering the data. You will repeat this procedure until all the data has been programmed to suit your requirements. The
factory default settings have been selected for reporting in the Contact ID Format.
Note: 15 is the maximum value that can be programmed into any location.
There are two programming modes. The Installer's Programming Mode and the Operators Programming Mode. Both
programming modes have individual access codes and these two codes must always be programmed differently. The
Master Code, as well as being able to arm and disarm the system gives access to the Operators Programming Mode. The
Installers Code only gives access to the Installer's Programming Mode and does NOT arm and disarm the system.
Programming of the
Solution-16 control panel can be carried out via any of the following five methods.
The control panel must be in the disarmed state with no flashing zone alarm memories to access the Installer's Programming
Mode. This can be achieved by entering the

Programming 21
Programming Using The Programming Key
The Programming Key (CC891) is a unique device that will allow you to easily program your control panel. Inserting the
programming key will automatically initiate a data transfer from the programming key to the control panel memory.
If you have a new programming key, you should first enter the Installer's Programming Mode, configure your control panel as per
your requirements before inserting the programming key.
To connect the programming key, locate the connections marked PROGRAMMING KEY. This point can be found on the right
hand side of the control panel. Observe the triangular markings on the printed circuit board and line them up with the markings
on the programming key.
To copy the control panel's data into your new programming key, enter command
to "Command 962 - Copy Control Panel Memory To Programming Key" on page 25 for further details.
Exit the Installer's Programming Mode by entering the command
the activity LED to return to its normal state and then remove the programming key. This programming key will now become your
standard data pattern for future programming of your control panels.
It should be noted that when entering the Installer's Programming Mode, inserting a programming key and then altering any
location would cause a simultaneous update of not only the programming keys data, but also the control panel’s data. Therefore,
you are not able to alter data in the programming key without the same location being altered in the control panel’s memory.
Note: Connecting a Programming Key (CC891) to the control panel when the programming keys memory is blank will
corrupt the control panel's memory unless the Installer's Programming Mode has been entered first. If this
occurs, then the control panel will need to be returned to Electronics Design & Manufacturing Pty Limited where a
service fee will be charged to unlock the control panel’s memory.
The DTMF Command Module (CC886) will allow you to operate and program your control panel remotely via the telephone line.
Once a communications link has been established with the control panel, you will be able to perform any system functions using
the codepad on a touch tone telephone for Master Code, User Code and Installer Code Functions as well as access into Installer's
Programming Mode.
Below will give an example of making a connection to the control panel and changing the "Exit Time" for AWAY Mode to 26
seconds on a non-partitioned system. To connect to a system, which has been partitioned, refer to "Operating The Control Panel
Using The DTMF Command Module" on page 67 for further information.
Example
How To Establish A Communication Link With The Control Panel
1. Dial the telephone number that the control panel has been connected to. When the control panel answers your call, you
will hear a short jingle.
2. After the jingle, press the 0 button on the telephone. You will now hear a second jingle and have established a
communication link with the control panel.
Programming The Control Panel Once A Communication Link Has Been Established
Once the connection has been established, enter your followed by the # button. Two beeps will be heard. If no
beeps are heard, enter a user code to disarm the system before entering the Installer's Code again.
After entering Installer's Programming Mode, follow the steps below to program the new "Exit Time " for AWAY Mode.
1. To go to "LOCATION 632", enter 632 followed by the # button.
2. Enter the value followed by the * button.
3. Press the # button to move to the next location.
4. Enter the value 1 followed by the * button.
5. Now enter command 960 followed by the # button to exit Installer's Programming Mode.
The exit time for AWAY Mode has now been programmed for 26 seconds.
To terminate the communication link with the control panel, press the
# button twice.
Programming Option Bits
When programming these locations you will notice that there are four alternatives per location. You may select one, two, three or
all of these alternatives for each location, however, only one number is required to be programmed. This number is calculated by
adding the option bit numbers together.
Example
If at "LOCATION 663" you want options 1, 2 and 4. Add the numbers together and the total is the number to be programmed. In
this example, the number to be programmed is 7 (i.e. 1+2+4=7).

The system has a feature that prevents the control panel from being manually defaulted via the default button or by using a
programming key.
Any number between 0-14 programmed into this location will allow defaulting of the control panel. If 15 has been programmed
into this location, defaulting of the control panel will not operate and the Installer Code MUST be used for further programming
of the control panel.
If the Installer Code is not known, the control panel will need to be returned to your EDM Distributor for exchange. A nominal
fee applies for this service.
Warning: Electronics Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited does not recommend the use of this feature.
If this option is required, a special programming procedure has been introduced to eliminate any possibility of accidentally setting
this option. The default button on the PCB must be held down while programming this location.
How To Prevent Manual Defaulting Of The Control Panel
1. Plug the hand held programmer to the pins provided on the PCB.
2. Disarm the system.
3. Access Installer's Programming Mode.
4. Go to "LOCATION 900".
5. Hold down the default button.

7. Release the default button.
8. Exit Installer's Programming Mode.
Defaulting The Control Panel
If the Solution-16 control panel does not have "LOCATION 900" programmed as 15, follow the procedure outlined below to
successfully default the control panel back to the factory default settings.
How To Default The Control Panel
1. Disconnect the AC mains and backup battery from the control panel.
2. Hold down and continue to hold down the DEFAULT button located at the top of the printed circuit board.
3. Reconnect the AC mains to the control panel.
4. After reconnecting the AC mains, wait for 3-5 seconds before releasing the DEFAULT button.
You will hear the dialler seize relay (RL2) on the control panel click once and two beeps will be heard on the remote codepad.
The control panel will now need to be disarmed by using the default Master Code 2580.
The control panel has now been successfully defaulted back to the factory default settings.
Note: If following the above procedure to default the control panel and you hear the dialler seize relay (RL2) click four
times, defaulting the control panel has been disabled. The control panel will need to be returned to Electronics
Design and Manufacturing Pty Limited for exchange where a service fee will be charged to unlock the control
panel's memory.
The codepad is the communications interface between you and your
alarm system. It allows you to issue commands and offers both visual
and audible indications that guide you through the general operation.
The codepad incorporates numerous indicators. There are
indicators that are used to show the condition of each zone and four
others for general status. The following is a list of situations and the
relevant indications that will be seen.

This section covers all aspects of operating and programming the Solution-16 control panel other than by a remote codepad or
the hand held programmer. There are a number of methods that can be used via the telephone line to gain access to the control
panel. These methods will prove to be time saving and easy to perform.
Remote Arming Via The Telephone
This feature allows you to arm your system from any remote location via the telephone line. For obvious security reasons, the
control panel cannot be disarmed using this method. To make use of this feature, you will require the Phone Controller (CC911).
How To Remotely Arm Your System Via The Telephone
1. Call the telephone number that your control panel has been connected to.
2. When the control panel answers the incoming call, a short jingle will be heard. Hold the phone controller to the
mouthpiece of the telephone and press the button on the side of the unit for 3 seconds.
3. After releasing the button on the phone controller, two beeps will be heard to indicate that the system has armed in the
AWAY Mode. If the control panel has been partitioned, ALL areas will arm in AWAY Mode.
4. Hang up the telephone and the system will remain armed.
If you hear a number of strange sounding tones when the control panel answers the incoming call, this means that the system has
been programmed for remote programming functions. Simply wait for a pause in the tones and follow the steps above to
remotely arm the system.
If the control panel does not answer the call, this means that the system may already be armed or remote functions have not been
enabled. Refer to "LOCATION 663" on page 152 to enable remote arming via the telephone.
Note: Where both remote arming and Upload/Download have been selected, the control panel will answer the call
expecting the remote computer. This is easily noticed as the modem negotiating tones will be heard rather than
the remote arming jingle.
Operating The Control Panel Using The DTMF Command Module
The DTMF Command Module (CC886) will allow you to operate the control panel remotely via the telephone line. Once a
communications link has been established with the control panel, you can perform any system functions as you would using the
codepad on a touch-tone telephone. Master Code Functions, User Code Functions, Installer Code Functions and the ability to
enter Installer's Programming Mode to remotely program the control panel are available options that may be performed via the
telephone. Refer to “LOCATION 671” on page 162 to enable the options required to the used when using the DTMF Command
Module.
The DTMF Command Module also allows domestic dialling to be acknowledged by pressing the

Once a communication link has been established with a partitioned control panel, you cannot toggle from area to area like you can
on a "CP5 Master Partitioned (CP500P)" codepad. To access another area, you will need to terminate the communication link,
redial the control panel and then select the required area.
You can arm and disarm all areas at the same time when linked to a partitioned control panel provided that the user code is valid
for all areas and that Option 1 - "Enable User Code + 0 + AWAY Function To Arm/Disarm All Areas" has been enabled in
"LOCATION 670" on page 161.
Once connected, any normal system function can be performed by simply entering the numbers on the telephone as you would
from a codepad. HOLD DOWN FUNCTIONS however will not work.
While you are connected to the control panel, if a button is not pressed within a sixty second period, you will hear a jingle of
decreasing pitch that will indicate that the link has been terminated.

The Solution-16 control panel can be remotely programmed or controlled via an IBM or compatible personal computer via the
Alarm Link Software (CC816). This facility will allow you to make alterations to your customers control panel without the need
to leave your office, thus improving customer service and saving you time and money. For country locations where a control
panel may be situated hundreds of kilometres from your office, the Upload/Download feature is invaluable.
When selecting the control panel type during the set up of a new customer database in the Alarm Link Software, refer to the table
below to select the software version number that corresponds to the control panel type required.
After selecting the correct panel type when adding a new customer in the Alarm Link Software, the Subscriber ID Number and
the Installer Code will need to match that of the control panel for synchronisation when making connection to the control panel.
If these two locations do not match that of the control panel, the computer and the control panel will not synchronise.

Direct Connect
The direct connect feature has been incorporated giving the installer a simple method for programming the Solution-16
control panel at the office. There is no need for telephone lines or modems that makes programming of the control panel
completed easily in minutes. It can also be used on site visits where the installer is using a portable personal computer.
All that is required is the Direct Link Cable (CC808) connected to the relevant serial port on your IBM or compatible computer
and the other end to the "Auxiliary Module" socket on the control panel.
When using the direct connect method of connecting to the control panel, Option 4 in "LOCATION 663" on page 152 does not
require to be enabled. The direct connect method of connecting to the control panel will operate regardless of this option set.
Note: If the Solution-16 has an optional Voice Module connected and enabled, the direct connect method of
connecting to the control panel will not function unless Option 15 in "LOCATION 050" has been disabled and the
Voice Module disabled prior to the connection being made.

Remote Connect With Customer Control
If you wish to configure the control panel so that a remote connection can only be established when the client initiates it through
the remote codepad, you will need to program the following information.
"LOCATION 032 - 047" will need to have the "Callback Telephone Number" programmed and Option 4 in "LOCATION 663" on
page 152 will need to be disabled. The control panel has now been set so that the client has control for when a remote connection
can be established.
To cause the control panel to dial the remote computer to establish a link, hold down the
codepad.
Remote Connect Without Callback Verification
Remote connect without callback verification can be handy where you have a need to perform Upload/Download functions from
multiple locations. It should be noted that by using this feature you are reducing the security of your control panel.
"LOCATION 032 - 047" should be cleared and Option 4 in "LOCATION 663" on page 152 will need to be enabled. The control
panel will now allow a connection of the first call without calling the remote computer back to make contact.
Remote Connect With Callback Verification
Remote connect with callback verification offers the highest degree of data security by incorporating a two level security check.
The first is the Installer Code combined with the Subscriber ID Number needs to match that of the control panel. Secondly, the
control panel will callback the programmed callback phone number to establish the valid connection. The "Callback Telephone
Number" is the phone line that the modem and computer has been connected to.
"LOCATION 032 - 047" must be programmed with the "Callback Telephone Number" and Option 4 in "LOCATION 663" on

In general, Contact ID reporting format is very simple as most of the Event Codes and Point ID Codes have been predefined. The
Event Code is programmable whereas the Point ID Codes are fixed. The base station software usually only has the ability to
identify a zone going into alarm by its Point ID Code and usually pays little attention to the Event Code.
Refer to "Table 28: Point ID Codes" on page 74 for further information on the

This table shows the different Point ID Codes and Event Codes that are transmitted to the base station receiver when using
Contact ID Reporting Format. Some event codes are fixed while others are user definable. The event codes that are fixed will
always transmit the same code as there are no programming locations made available to alter these. The other event codes may be
changed when required.
Example
If zone 8 is being used as a 24-hour medical alarm rather than a 24-hour burglary, its event code may be changed from Event
Code 133 (24 Hour Burglary) and instead programmed as Event Type 100 (Medical).
Note: Before changing any event codes, consult your base station supervisor to ensure that you select the correct
code.

The following formats may be designated to report in either Standard of Extended Formats. In all cases, the standard format will
report to the central monitoring station a Subscriber ID Number followed by an Alarm, Trouble, Restore or Open/Close codes.
The Expanded 3+1 and Expanded 4+1 Formats will report a Subscriber ID Number followed by an Expansion Code, followed by
a second line where the Expansion Code is repeated as the Subscriber ID Number followed by the Reporting Channel (Or User
ID) relevant to that report.
If 4+2 Format is selected then no second line is transmitted and the reporting channel number is transmitted directly after the
expansion code.
The Solution-16 control panel can communicate to base stations via the Securitel Network using an EDMSTU (CS800). Not
all messages can be transmitted via securitel as they can via the communication dialler transmitting in Contact ID Format. Refer

How To Program and Set Up Securitel
To connect and set up the EDMSTU, follow the procedures below:
1. Program the Subscriber ID Number in "LOCATION 052 - 055".
2. Program Output 2 as all zeros in "LOCATION 546 - 552".
3. Disable Option 1 in "LOCATION 663" if the control panel is not going to use the on-board dialler.
4. Connect the EDMSTU to the Solution-16 control panel using the table below.
5. Once the EDMSTU has been connected to the control panel, the EDMSTU will now need to be 'upped' by the monitoring
station.

Refer to your EDMSTU Installation Manual for further information.
The EDMSTU (CS800) was not designed to transmit individual Open/Close Reports for each area via the Securitel Network. It
will however transmit "First To Open/Last To Close Reporting" if Option 2 in "LOCATION 664" has been enabled.
The "Primary Telephone Number" and the "Secondary Telephone Number" locations that are normally used for base station
reporting can be added together making provision to store up to 32 digits. The 32 data locations are now used to store any
number of telephone numbers and subject to the length of each of the telephone numbers it is possible to store 3 or more different
telephone numbers for Domestic Dialling Format.
Programming Domestic Reporting
Programming the control panel for "Domestic Reporting" has been made extremely simple by the use of the Installer's
Programming Command 965. Refer to "Installers Programming Commands" on page 23 for more information.

a busy or engaged tone has been detected, the control panel will hang up and commence dialling the second telephone number (if
one is programmed). The first call however will be counted as one unsuccessful dialling attempt. If the second telephone number
is also busy or an engaged tone is detected, the control panel will hang up and commence dialling the third telephone number (if
one is programmed).
If a busy tone is not detected, the control panel will assume that the phone has been answered and will begin sending its
transmission. The transmission consists of a siren tone followed by a unit identification beep. The identification beep will allow
the customer to verify which control panel made the call if more than one control panel is reporting to the same telephone
number. The identification beep is programmed in "LOCATION 55" of the Subscriber ID Number.
Note: A maximum of 6 calls per alarm event will be made when the control panel has been set up for "Domestic Dialling

The Voice Module (CC888) has been designed so that a clear concise voice message can be transmitted by the control panel to
the telephone numbers of your choice when an alarm condition occurs. This allows the person receiving your call to easily
understand that the alarm at your home or office has been activated and that action is required. This voice message is prerecorded and can be changed as many times as necessary. The message can be from between 1-16 seconds in length.
There is no longer a need to put up with having to decipher alarm tones and trying to explain to your relatives just what the tones
actually mean. Any person can easily interpret the recorded message and then take immediate action according to your specific
message. The voice message can be recorded in any language and once programmed, it will be retained indefinitely irrespective
of power loss. No messy batteries are required.

In the RECORD mode, the crystal earpiece should not be connected. To record a message on the voice module, press and hold
the Record/Play switch. At the same time commence speaking into the microphone slowly and clearly dictating your desired
message.
The status indicator will illuminate as the Record/Replay switch is pressed and will remain on while ever the switch is being held
in or until the maximum recording time of 16 seconds has expired. If your message is less than 16 seconds long, simply release
the switch to stop recording.
For good recording results, keep all background noise to a minimum and speak clearly into the microphone approximately 30 cm
away.
WARNING
Do not press the Record/Play switch without the earpiece connected unless you want to record.
If you do, the current message will be erased and a new message recorded.
Replay The Voice Message
There are two different Replay modes available. One is to check the message and the other is used during an alarm condition.
The first replay mode is to check the message with the crystal earpiece connected. By pressing the Record/Replay switch once,
the voice module will replay the message it currently has stored so that it can be checked for accuracy and clarity. This mode will
automatically terminate as soon as the programmed message has been completely replayed.
The second replay mode occurs when an alarm condition occurs and the control panel that the voice module is connected to dials
the programmed telephone numbers. This can be achieved by triggering a zone or by sending a test report. Once triggered, the
control panel will dial the programmed telephone number and commence playing its recorded voice message.
The message consists of a 90 second period during which time the recorded voice message will be repeated continuously. The
90-second timer commences as soon as the last digit of the telephone number has been dialled. At the end of the 90 seconds, the
control panel will send two beeps followed by a pause. This will be repeated over a 20 second period. During this pause, the
control panel looks for an acknowledge tone. If it is received within the next 20 seconds, the control panel will hang up and make
no further calls.
The Voice Module plugs onto the AUXILIARY MODULE socket on the control panel. Please ensure that all power to the
control panel has been removed before connecting the voice module. Remember to align the arrows on the voice module to those
on the control panel. Reconnect the power to the control panel once the voice module has been connected correctly.
Basic Pager Format requires some interpretation of the numbers that appear on the display, however, it is possible to differentiate
between 1000 different control panels when a number of control panels are reporting to the one pager.
To use this feature, you will require to program the following software options.
1. "LOCATION 000 - 015" requires the Basic Pager's access telephone number programmed.
2. "LOCATION 049" requires "Option 5 - Pager Handshake" to be programmed.
3. "LOCATION 050" requires "Option 12 - Basic Pager Reporting" to be programmed.

there is no fault condition.
The Solution-16 control panel is capable of transmitting PET Alpha characters at the rate of 300 baud to a pocket pager using
the PET Protocol (Page Entry Terminal). Using this method of reporting will allow people who are on the move to monitor
burglary alarms, medical alarms, refrigeration alarms and virtually any other event that can be used to trigger the
control panel.
Programming and Hardware Requirements
To use PET Alpha Pager Reporting Format, the following programming and hardware options are required.
1. The EDM Modem Module (CC811 or CC811B) will be required to be fitted to the AUXILIARY MODULE socket on the
control panel.
Note: Some pager companies use the BELL communication frequencies and others use the CCITT frequencies.
2. The "Primary Telephone Number" in "LOCATION 000 - 015" will require the PET Alpha Pager's Access Telephone
Number.
3. Option 5 - "Pager Reporting" in "LOCATION 049" will need to be enabled.
4. Option 14 - "Alpha Pager" in "LOCATION 050" will need to be enabled.
5. "LOCATION 514 - 529" requires the PET Alpha Pager's network password.
6. "LOCATION 530 - 539" requires the 7 digit Alpha Pager ID Number.
Note: All Contact ID Event Codes will require any ZERO in the Event Code to be programmed to other than zero. If the

Pager Format, the control panel will transmit all alarm information using English language messages. Once the alarm message
has been received on the pager, appropriate action can be taken.
The following table lists the events that will cause the control panel to transmit to the PET Alpha Pager and the messages that will
be displayed on the pager.

The # symbol represents the zone number or user code number in the transmission.
The following example shows how a single transmission will be received on the PET Alpha Pager. A similar message to the one
below will be seen when user 1 has armed the system.
A provision has been made in the PET protocol for a mandatory six-digit ASCII character password to be transmitted before the
alarm message is transmitted. However, at the time of writing this manual, neither Telecom nor Hutchinson is making full use of
this feature. There is however an important difference in what both organisations expect to see as the password for all pagers at
the present time.
Telecom expects to see the password "passwd" sent before the message is transmitted. The password is programmed using ASCII
text.
Example
To communicate with Telecom, program "70, 61, 73, 73, 77, 64" as the password.
To program an ASCII letter character and convert that to a number to be programmed, refer to “Table 37: Hexadecimal
Conversion Table" for converting letters and numbers to decimal numbers.
Example
If you need to program an Alpha Pager Password with the letter 'L' in upper case, you would then program that letter as: 4,12.

The Pager ID Number locations are used to store the unique number that allows the network to identify individual pagers.
To program the Pager ID Number, enter the decimal characters that represent the Pager ID Number. Remember to substitute a 10
for a zero and to terminate the number with a zero as you would if you were programming the telephone numbers.
Note: If the Pager ID Number is less than 7 digits, it must be prefixed with the digit 6 until the number of digits equals 7.
This is only relevant when using the PET format.
Example
If the Pager ID Number is 123456, it must be programmed as 6123456.
A serial printer can be connected to the control panel to report all events that have occurred. The logging of an event will include
the time and date along with a description of the event that occurred.
The serial printer is required to be connected to Output 3 and programmed as follows:

This section outlines the programming information required for the Solution-16 control panel when communicating with base
station receivers. Typically these parameters specify the telephone numbers to call, the transmission formats, handshake tones
and transmission speeds.
How To Program A Phone Number
When programming the telephone number, if a '0' is required, it must be programmed as a '10'. Each location in the primary,
secondary and callback telephone numbers hold one digit of the telephone number.
Example
To program the telephone number 9 672 1055, you would program 9672155.
Programming The End Of A Phone Number
To tell the dialler when the end of the telephone number has been reached, a '0' must be inserted at the end of the telephone
number. Therefore the dialling sequence will be terminated when a zero appears.
Example
To program the number 9 672 1055 completely, you would program 96721550.
Programming A Four Second Pause In The Phone Number
To enter a four second pause in the dialling sequence, you would need to program the value '13'. This may be necessary when the
dialler is communicating through an old (slower) telephone exchange or where a PABX system is in place.
Example
To program the number 02 pause 9 672 1055, you would program 296721550.

Primary Telephone Number
LOCATION 000 - 0150000000000000000
When the control panel has triggered, the control panel will dial this number in an attempt to contact the monitoring station, pager
etc. If the call is successful, the relevant information will be transmitted and the dialler will return back to the stand-by mode.
If unsuccessful, the dialler will try twice more using the "Primary Telephone Number" after which the "Secondary Telephone
Number" will be called three times. This procedure will be repeated only once again (i.e. Maximum of 12 call attempts per
alarm) after ten minutes if none of the first six attempts were successful.
Note: When programming the telephone number, if a '0' is required, it must be programmed as a '10'.
Please contact your monitoring station or Pager Company for the relevant telephone numbers before programming this location.
Refer to the Primary Telephone Number for programming information.
Callback Telephone Number
LOCATION 032 - 0470000000000000000
This location contains the telephone number that will be called when Upload/Download is requested or the number
held down to initiate a modem call from the control panel to establish a communications link with the remote computer. The
computer must be running the Alarm Link Software (CC816) and will need to be set to "Waiting For An Incoming Call". The
“Callback Telephone Number" is also required to be programmed if "Remote Connect With Callback Verification" on page 70 is
required.

LOCATION 0481
The method for dialling telephone numbers is entered here. Options 3 and 6 will alternate the dialling sequence between DTMF
and Decadic if the call to the base station receiver was unsuccessful. Caution should be exercised when selecting the dialling
method.
Only use the Australian method if the control panel is to be connected to the Australian Telecommunications Network. The
International DTMF dialling option should only be used in those countries that allow both the caller and the receiver to terminate
the phone call. Using the incorrect format will disable EDM's patent Telephone Anti-Jamming feature.

2. 1400 Hz Handshake Tone is required when the control panel requires to communicate in Ademco Lo Speed Format,
Domestic Dialling Format or Synthesised Voice Formats.
3. 2300 Hz Handshake Tone is required when the control panel needs to communicate in Sescoa Lo Speed Format.
4. No Handshake Tone is not recommended.

Receivers and Their Formats
The following is a list of some compatible control room receivers, their specific handshake tones and transmission formats. Use
this table only as a guide when selecting the transmission format.
If your base station receiver type is not listed above, do not despair, there are many combinations of formats, speeds and
handshake tones. Try a few combinations and you will more than likely find the one that works for your receiver.
It should be noted that some formats offer much more detailed information than others, so take the time to consider the many
alternatives being offered.
This number is transmitted to identify the calling control panel. Enter the desired Subscriber ID Number in the four locations
provided. For Basic Pager Format, "LOCATION 052" is ignored and the first digit of the Subscriber ID Number required must
start in "LOCATION 053". When using Domestic Dialling Format, the number of identification beeps will be the number that is
programmed in "LOCATION 055". This gives the ability to identify between 15 different control panels calling the same
telephone number.
Ring Count
LOCATION 0638
This location sets the number of rings before the control panel will answer an incoming call. This should be set at an acceptable
level bearing in mind that one ring = "Ring, Ring - Ring, Ring" and that a ring count of 10 represents approximately 60 seconds.
This location only has an effect if remote arming and/or remote Upload/Download via Alarm Link Software have been
programmed. If this location is programmed as 'zero', then the answering of incoming calls will be disabled.
Answering Machine Bypass
Answering machine bypass has been incorporated so that it is possible to make a connection with the control panel for remote
arming or Upload/Download when there is an answering machine or facsimile machine on the same telephone line. There are
two different methods of using answering machine bypass as explained below. The secondary method should only be used when
there is a large amount of traffic on the line (eg. A home office). It will reduce the chance of the control panel incorrectly
answering incoming calls.
1. Programming the ring count as 15 will enable "Answering Machine Bypass" in the primary mode. When calling the
control panel, let the phone ring for no more than 4 rings and then hang up. If you call again within 45 seconds, the
control panel will answer the call on the first ring and the connection will be established. This will prevent the answering
machine or facsimile from answering the call. Refer to "LOCATION 664" on page 153 if you wish to enable "Answering
Machine Bypass Only When System Is Armed".
2. (From Software Version 1.37 +)
Programming a 14 as the ring count will enable "Answering Machine Bypass" in the secondary mode. In this mode, when
calling the control panel, allow the phone to ring for no more than 2 rings and then hang up. Wait a minimum of 8
seconds before calling the control panel again. The control panel will now answer on the first ring. If you don't wait the 8
seconds, the control panel will not answer the call. Refer to "LOCATION 664" on page 153 if you wish to enable
"Answering Machine Bypass Only When System Is Armed".
Note: You should set the ring count on the answering machine or facsimile machine to be higher than two rings. Four
This section describes the access codes that are used to assign privileges and access functions for user code holders of the system.
Three types of user codes exist within the system, the Installer Code, User Codes and Auxiliary Codes. Each of these codes allow
specific access and operation of the varied functions of the control panel.
Installer Code
LOCATION 56 - 62 1234
This code is used to access the Installer's Programming Mode and can be between one to seven digits long. However, after the
control panel has been powered up, the Installer Code can disarm the system if it is the first code used. The next time the Installer
Code is used, access into Installer's Programming Mode will be gained.
User Codes
LOCATION 064 - 319
The purpose of user codes is to arm and disarm the system as well as perform other specific functions as described in "Master
Code Functions" on page 50.
User codes can be any length between one to seven digits long. Each user code can have a different priority level allocated to it.
This controls the behaviour of the code, allowing it to arm only or to arm and disarm etc. This priority level of each user code is
programmed in the last location of each user code.
2580
User Code Priority
There are a total of 32 user codes available that can be altered or deleted at any time by a Master Code holder. Multiple Master
Codes can be programmed. Refer to "Master Code Functions" on page 50 for more information on adding, deleting or changing
user codes.
Note: The priority level for each user code can only be programmed or altered by the installer.
There are seven different priority levels that can be allocated to the user code. Each priority level allows or restricts the functions
that different user code holders can perform.
Note: Once user code priority levels 4, 6 and 12 have been enabled to any of the available 32 user codes, the method of

A Patrolman Code will allow you to issue a code that will only disarm the system after an alarm has occurred. This will
prevent unauthorised use of the code. A Patrolman Code can always arm the system. This code is designed to work in
conjunction with Open/Close reports to gain maximum benefit. Refer to "LOCATION 664" on page 153 to enable
"Open/Close Reports To Be Transmitted Only After An Alarm Has Occurred".
