Fi re Alarm System Limitations
An auto matic fire a larm sys tem - typically made
up of smoke detectors, heat de tectors, manual pull
stations, audible warning devices and a fire alarm
control with remote not ification capability, can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against
property damage or loss of life resu lti ng from a fire.
Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of
reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where
smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in
chimneys, in walls, in roo fs, or on the other side
of closed doors. Smoke detect ors 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. Fur therm ore,
all types of smoke de tectors, both ionization an d
photoelectric types, have sensing limita tions. No
type of smoke detector can sen se every kind of
fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards
like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping
gas, improper storage of flammable materials,
overloaded electrical circuits, children playing
with matches or arson.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be
installed in the same room as the control panel
and in room s used by the sy stem f or the connection of alarm transmission w iring, com munications, signaling and/or po wer. If detectors are not
so located, a developing fire may damage the
alarm system, cripp ling its ability to report a fire.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free
installation with long-term reliability:
While insta lling a fire a la rm system may make lower insura nc e
rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insura nce
Like all solid state electronic devices, this
system may operate erratical ly or c an be da maged
when subjected to lightning induced transients.
Although no system is comple tely immune from
lightning transients and interferences, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or
outside aerial w iring is not recomm ended, du e 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 ti ghte n sc rew terminal s mo re than 9 inlbs. 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 handl ing 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 dama ge to
the control panel and associated equipment.
FACP operation and reliability depend upon
proper installation.
A udible warni ng de vic es such as bells m ay
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.
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.
Rate-of-Rise heat de tectors may be subject
to reduced sensitivity over time. For this
reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector
should be tested at least onc e per yea r by a
qualified fire protection specia list.
Equipment used in the system may not be
technically compatible with the control panel.
It is essential to use only equ ipment listed for
service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm
signals from a pr emis e to a central m onitoring
station may be out of servi ce or temporarily
disabled.
The most common cause of fire alarm
malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be
tested and maintain ed by professional fire alarm
installers following written procedures supplied
with each device. System inspection and testing
should be scheduled monthly or as required by
National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written
records of all inspections sh ould be kept

Getting Started
CHAPTER 2
The PK-411UD software provides a
conv enient and po werful t ool which can be
used to program and manipulate the
411UD/411UD AC programm ing data from
a PC or laptop. This user friendly utility
has been designed to provide many features which will enhance the communicator's programmability. In order to take full
advantage of the available features, it is
important to become familiar with the
PK-411UD functions and the environment
in which the program was designed to
operate. This chapter pro vides information
on the minimum system requirements for
the computer in which the PK-411UD will
be installed.
Some computer literacy and a rudimentary
understanding of DOS and Windows
necessary to successfully use this utility.
Even if exposure to computers is limited,
the information in this chapter along with
DOS and Windows
should provide sufficient knowledge to use
the PK-411UD program. Take the time to
read and understand the installation as
presented in this chapter.

Basic System R equireme n ts
2 . 1 Ba sic Syste m Re quire ments
The PK-411UD Program has been designed for a
specific computer en viro nment. Although most IBM AT
or compatible computers will accommodate the
PK-411UD software, specific computer requirements
and operating systems must be adhered to. In order to
ensure proper operation of the PK-411UD software, the
minimum requirements listed below must be met.
2.1.1 System Microprocessor
Most IBM AT or compatible computers with at least a
486-66MHz microprocessor may serve as a service
terminal and will accommodate the PK-411UD
software.
2.1.2 Memory and Drive Requirements
The service terminal must have a minimum of 4 megabytes of onboard RAM in order to run the PK-411UD
software. The program must be run from a hard drive
and requires a minimum of 4 megabytes of hard drive
space to store the program.
2.1.3 Monitor
A minimum of a VGA monitor is required for adequate
display of the PK-411UD menu screens.
2.1.4 Mouse
Any IBM compatible mouse or track ball should be us ed
to run the program. The program may also be run from a
standard 101-key keyboard, although certain features
will not be accessible.

About Mode ms
2 . 2 About M ode ms
A modem (modulator/demodulator) conve rts the digital data signals of a computer to audio tones in order to transmit
the serial data over standard telephone lines. The modem also converts the incoming audio tones to digital data that
the computer can use.
Two basic types of modem have been designed for IBM PCs and compatibles:
• direct connect internal modems
• direct connect external modems
The internal modem is designed as an IBM P C compati ble e xpan sion card wh ich plugs i nto the comput er's e xpans ion
slot. The main advantage of the internal modem is the relatively low cost.
An external modem incorporates its own po wer supply and RS-232 interf ace into a single package. It connects to an
IBM compatible computer through an RS-232 serial cable. The main advantages of the external modem are the simplicity of connection to an IBM compatible computer with an RS-232 serial interface and the ease with which it can
be moved from one computer to another.
Using the Configure Modem windo w, the PK-411UD can be set to operate with either an internal or external modem
with a baud rate of 1200 or higher. The PK-411UD will set it to the proper baud rate. Baud rate refers to the speed of
transmission in bits per second. Most 1200 baud modems conform to Bell 212A North American standard. Baud
rate standards set guidelines for modem manufacturers to ensure comp atibility between modems operating at the
same baud rates.
2.2.1 Compatible Modems
The following internal and external modems are supported:
• Cardinal 14400
• Cardinal 28800
• Hayes Accura 14400
• Hayes Accura 28800
• Hayes Optima 9600
• Hayes 2400 Data/9600 FAX
• Hayes 1200 Smart Modem
• Identity ID-2400
• US Robotics Sportster 1200
• US Robotics Sportster 9600
• US Robotics Sportster 14400

Ca ble Connections
2 . 3 C able Conne ctions
Direct connect modems are connected to telephone lines using standard RJ11 modular jacks and plugs.
Internal modems, which plug into the PC computer's expansion slot, connect directly to the phone line using the RJ11
connectors. An RJ11 jack is built into the modem card allowing connection to the phone line. Power for the modem
is supplied by the computer.
External modems connect to the telephone line using the RJ11 jack and plug. The modem then connects to the PC's
RS-232 serial port. A DB-9 o r DB-25 RS-232 cable is used, dependi ng on t he com puter ser ial por t con nector. Power
must be supplied to the external modem.
Note that cables are not supplied with the PK-411UD.
