While a fire alarm system may lower insurance
rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control panel with remote notification capability–can provide early warning of a developing
fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection
against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected premise following
the recommendations of the current edition of the National
Fire Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72),
manufacturer's recommendations, State and local codes, and
the recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use
of System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no
charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States
government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go off in
as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system
may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not
function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors
also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a
first-floor or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or "smoke" from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or
chimneys may inhibit particle or smoke flow.
• Smoke particles may become "cold," stratify, and not reach
the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air
outlets.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching
the detector.
The amount of "smoke" present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designed to alarm at
various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not
created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing
chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming
fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires
better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither
type of detector is necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate
warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with
matches (especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent
explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of
flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and
alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise
heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over
time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector
should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Heat detectors are designed to protect
property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the
same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the
system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so
located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system,
crippling its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people
if these devices are located on the other side of closed or
partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building.
Any warning device may fail to alert people with a disability or
those who have recently consumed drugs, alcohol or medication. Please note that:
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures
in people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they
hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. It is the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercise to
make people aware of fire alarm signals and instruct them
on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can
cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby
batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries
have been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment
listed for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a
premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of fire alarm malfunction is inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire fire alarm system in
excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is required per
the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be
followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt or
high air velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance agreement should be arranged through the local
manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be
scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local
fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional fire alarm installers only. Adequate written records of
all inspections should be kept.

Installation Precautions
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be con-
nected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources
of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards,
modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this unit until this
manual is read and understood.
CAUTION - System Reacceptance Test after Software
Changes. To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or
deletion of system components, or after any modification,
repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested.
In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not
directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for indoor dry operation at 0-49° C/32-120° F
RH (non-condensing) at 32 ±2° C/90 ±3° F. However, the
useful life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme
temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system and all peripherals be installed in
an environment with a nominal room temperature of 15-27°
C/60-80° F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and
indicating device loops. Refer to manual Specifications section for maximum allowable I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
and at a relative humidity of 93 ±2%
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subjected to
lightning-induced transients. Although no system is completely immune from lightning transients and interferences,
proper grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or out-
side aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased
susceptibility to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the
Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, and printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs.
Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced
terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal
removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the
body. Use static-suppressive packaging to protect electronic
assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and
programming manuals. These instructions must be followed
to avoid damage to the control panel and associated
equipment. FACP operation and reliability depend upon
proper installation by authorized personnel.

Operational Modes
1.7Operational Modes
1.7.1 Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the standard mode of operation in which the 411 digital communicator monitors the host control
panel status as well as telephone line voltage and other internal circuits. In addition to locally annunciating communication fail, the digital communicator transmits system status information to UL listed central station receivers.
Transmitted data includes fire alarm, fire alarm trouble, supervisory alarm and AC loss information. Specific digital
communicator troubles are also transmitted.
1.7.2 Real Time Clock Mode
Real Time Clock Mode allows the user to change the digital communicator’s internal 24 hour clock. Connecting an
external Programmer allows access to the various Modes of operation. While the communicator is in Real Time
Clock Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.
1.7.3 Program Mode
Program Mode is used to change the programmed functions of the 411 digital communicator. While the communicator is in Program Mode, it does not monitor channel inputs.
1.7.4 Troubleshoot Mode
Troubleshoot Mode may be used for testing the telephone line interconnect wiring. Connection from the 411’s modular jacks, through the RJ31X jacks and into the telephone network may be easily checked. In this mode, the Programmer keypad acts similar to a telephone touchpad. While the communicator is in Troubleshoot Mode, it does not
monitor channel inputs.

2.2Operating Power
CAUTION: Disconnect all power before servicing the 411. The digital communicator may be damaged by removing
!
and/or inserting components or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.
12VDC or 24VDC nominal power connections are made to TB1 on the 411 circuit board. When jumper J4 is
installed, the 11.2 to 12.4 VDC operating voltage range (UL tested range: -15%, +10%) for the digital communicator
must be power-limited, filtered, nonresettable. This 12 VDC nominal operating power can be supplied directly to the
411 by a UL listed 12 VDC power supply listed for fire protection or by a nonresettable 12 VDC output from a
control panel. Alternatively, removing J4 Jumper on the digital communicator circuit board allows the 411 to be
supplied by a power-limited, nonresettable 21.3 to 24.0 VDC (UL tested range: -15%, +10%). This 24 VDC nominal
operating power can be supplied by a UL listed 24 VDC power supply, which, in order to comply with UL 864 must
be listed for Fire Protective Signaling Systems or by a nonresettable 24 VDC output from a control panel. This nominal 24 VDC power is then internally regulated by the digital communicator to 12 VDC operating power.
Note that upon power-up, the 411 will immediately annunciate a DACT trouble since the communicator is factory
defaulted to 'communicator disabled' at program location 64.
2.3Input Channels
The 411 digital communicator has three channel inputs. Each channel is supervised for opens (trouble) and shorts
(alarm) by the digital communicator. Each channel is a Style B (Class B) Initiating Device Circuit designed to accept
any normally-open contact device. Since channels do not latch, a reset switch is not provided by the 411. The communicator transmissions to a central station track the state of the inputs. Refer to Figure 2-3, “Style B Channel Connections,” on page 16 for information on wiring Style B circuits.

Each input channel monitors a normally open device and may be programmed as follows:
• fire alarm
• host control panel trouble
• fire supervisory
•AC Loss
Programming the input channel automatically programs the transmitted event code, however, the event code can be
changed since it is fully programmable. Event code transmissions can be tailored to the specific application and
requirements of the Central Station.
AC Loss Reporting:
Any channel programmed for AC Loss, will transmit a specific AC loss signal only if the assigned
Normally Open contact provides this function. Some panels provide an option that will automatically delay the trigger of their system trouble relays upon loss of AC. If this is provided by the host panel, program no additional delay
in the 411. Be certain to verify the method employed by the host panel to be monitored.
The factory default programming for each channel is as follows:
Channel 1 - fire alarm
Channel 2 - host control panel trouble
Channel 3 - fire supervisory

Modes of Operation
CHAPTER 3Modes of Operation
The 411 digital communicator has five operational modes:
• Normal Mode
• Real Time Clock Mode
•Program Mode
• Troubleshoot Mode
• Default Mode
The operational mode for the digital communicator is Normal Mode. The operator is able to switch between any
modes of operation provided no alarm events are active in the system. It should be noted that the digital communicator will not respond to input activations while in any mode except Normal Mode.
Access to any other Mode requires connection of the optional Fire-Watch 411 Series DACT Programmer which
consists of a keypad and display. Refer to Figure 3-1, “Programmer Keypad,” on page 21:
3.1Normal Mode
Normal Mode is the standard (default) mode of operation for the 411 digital communicator. The communicator
continuously monitors and reports to a central station, the status of the three input channels as well as the status of the
digital communicator itself. If no activity is detected on the three input channels (no shorts or opens) and the communicator is operating free of internal troubles, the digital communicator will display the following conditions:
Communication Fail LED is off
Onboard piezo sounder is off
Communicator is not transmitting to the Central Station
The 411 digital communicator transmits system status reports to a central station via the public switched telephone
network. Two supervised telephone line connections are made to interface the digital communicator to the telephone
lines. Both telephone lines are supervised by the 411 for proper voltage.
The 411 is capable of line seizure on both the primary and secondary telephone line interfaces. Any time the digital
communicator detects the necessity to call the Central Station, line seizure will disconnect any local premises phones
sharing the same telephone line. Sharing of phone lines, for fire systems, must be approved by the Local Authority
Having Jurisdiction. All transmissions to the Central Station will be sent over the Primary phone line. In the event of
a noisy or faulty phone line, transmissions will be sent over the backup Secondary phone line.
Transmission options exist to:
• send reports to the secondary phone number as backup only
• send reports to both the primary and secondary phone numbers
• send reports to the first available central station phone number
If 10 total attempts to communicate are unsuccessful, the digital communicator will turn on the Communication Fail
LED.
The 411 meets NFPA 72 requirements for Remote Station Protective Signaling Service and Central Station Signaling
Service reporting requirements for: (a) the type of signal, (b) condition and (c) location of the reporting premises.
See “Central Station Communications” on page 37, for additional information.

411 Communicator Document #50921 Rev. D 11/07/2005 P/N 50921:D
Normal Mode
The 411 can be switched from Normal Mode to any other Mode, provided no channel programmed for fire alarm or
fire supervisory is active, that is, in alarm (shorted). The Fire-Watch 411 Series DACT Programmer must be connected to the 411 in order to change from mode to mode.

to
entering Troubleshoot Mode. The UP arrow, DOWN arrow and 1st EVENT keys do not function in this mode.
Telephone Line Testing
Pressing C for touchtone dialing or D for rotary dialing, followed by [ENTER/STORE] causes seizure of the Pri-
mary phone line, which in turn, lights the red LED 1 on the circuit board near the PH1 connector, signifying that the
Primary phone line is active. After a delay of three seconds, the 411 goes off-hook to acquire a dial tone.
The Programmer keypad may be used as a telephone touchpad for number dialing. Once the first digit is pressed, the
display will move the C or D character one position to the left, while placing the digit to be dialed on the farthest right
display position. Continue to press the phone numbers to be dialed. Successive depressions of the [ENTER/STORE] key hangs up and picks up the phone (places the phone on or off the hook).
The secondary phone line may be tested by pressing the E key for touchtone dialing or the F key for rotary dialing
and then following the same procedure used for the primary phone line. A handset may be temporarily connected
across transformer T1 of the 411 as indicated in Figure 3-2. The handset, when connected across T1, may be used
only as an amplifier/speaker or telephone with the keypad used for number dialing.

Central Station Communications
CHAPTER 4Central Station Communications
The 411 digital communicator transmits system status reports to Central Stations via the public switched telephone
network. Two supervised telephone line connections are made to interface the communicator to the telephone lines.
Two 7-foot telephone cords P/N MCBL-7 may be used for this purpose (not supplied - order separately).
The digital communicator supervises both telephone lines for proper voltage. A delay of two minutes will occur
before a fault in either phone line connection is reported as a trouble. When a fault is detected, an audible trouble signal will sound and the trouble condition will be reported to a central station over the remaining good phone line.
The digital communicator comes with line seizure capability provided for both the primary and secondary telephone
line interfaces. Any time that the DACT needs to make a call to a central station, line seizure will disconnect any
local premises phones sharing the same telephone line. All transmissions to central stations will be sent over the Primary Central Station phone line. In the event of noisy phone lines, transmissions will be sent over the backup Secondary phone line.
Two phone numbers must be programmed, the Primary Central Station phone number and the Secondary Central Station phone number. There are three options for transmission to the Central Station:
• All reports are always sent to the Primary Central Station phone number with the Secondary Central Station
number for emergency backup purposes only
• All reports are sent to both Central Station phone numbers
• Reports are sent to the first available Central Station phone number only
411 Communicator Document #50921 Rev. D 11/07/2005 P/N 50921:D 37
Central Station Communications
The digital communicator is capable of reporting detailed messages depending upon the Format in use. Table 4-1
shows the data reporting structure for each of the pulsed formats as well as the Ademco Express Formats. Ademco
Express Formats allow a typical data message to be transmitted to the Central Station in under 5 seconds. Pulsed formats typically require 15 to 20 seconds in comparison. Table 4-2 defines each letter code used in Table 4-1 . See
“Ademco Contact ID Format Event Code Description” on page 41 for a description of the data reporting structure for
Ademco Contact ID Format.

4.0.2 Ademco Contact ID Format Event Code Description
This section describes the various Event Codes and their messages which are available for the Ademco Contact ID
Format. The reporting structure for the Ademco Contact ID Format is as follows:
SSSS 18 QXYZ GG CCC
Where:
SSSS= Four digit Subscriber ID Account Code (addresses 21 - 24 and 51 - 54)
18= Identifies transmission as Contact ID to the receiver at the Central Station
Q= Event Qualifier where 1 = New Event and 3 = New Restore
XYZ= Event code (shown in Tables)
GG= Group number
CCC= Channel/Input number
Notes:
1. 18, which is used in the reporting structure to identify the transmission as Contact ID, is not printed out in the
alarm and trouble report.
2. Q, which is the Event Qualifier for the reporting structure, is printed out in the report as an E for New Event or
R
for New Restore.
3. GG Group Number is fixed at '00' and cannot be changed.
4. CCC Channel/Input Number is transmitted as '001' for Channel/Input 1, '002' for Channel/Input 2, '003' for
Channel/Input 3.
Ademco Contact ID Reporting Structure
