INTRODUCTION
The MLR2-DG is a Multi-Line, Multi-Format Digital Receiver,
(U.L. and U.L.C. listed) for commercial fire and burglary.
The basic unit consists of a CPM2 Central Processor Module
and a DRL2A Digital Receiver Line Card Module. Additional
DRL2A Line Cards may be added to enable the CPM2 to
monitor up to 14 telephone lines. The MLR2-DG includes
many features, all designed to make the receiver more
powerful and easier to use. The MLR2-DG can decode a
variety of popular and widely used communication formats.
Refer to Appendix D, DRL2A Communication Formats for a
list of the available communication protocol.
The MLR2-DG’s real-time clock and calendar “stamps” all
information received with the time and date, and all information
is displayed on the receiver’s LCD screens and may be
printed or forwarded to a computer. To ensure security,
adjustment of the clock, calendar and other programming
is protected by password codes.
CPM2
The CPM2 Central Processing Module oversees operation
of the receiver. Along with its built-in keypad and LCD
message screen, the CPM2 features both a printer and
computer interface.
The CPM2 features a 128-event nonvolatile memory buffer.
The buffer may be examined on the LCD screen or printed.
If the printer or computer is off-line, the CPM2 will retain
events in the buffer and will automatically send the events
to the computer or printer when communications are restored.
DRL2A
Each DRL2A Line Card Module can monitor two telephone
lines. The Line Card module is equipped with a 256-event
nonvolatile memory to record events and corresponding
telephone numbers. Caller Identification (Call Display)
capability is built-in and telephone numbers can be displayed,
printed out, and stored in memory. Events and information
stored in memory may be printed at any time.
Power and Supervision
The MLR2-DG requires 16VAC from a 115V or 230 VAC 50/
60 Hz transformer. The receiver is equipped with 12V
rechargeable stand-by battery connections and an automatic
battery charger.
The stand-by battery voltage and connections are supervised.
The Line Cards are also continuously supervised to ensure
uninterrupted communication with the CPM2. Any trouble
conditions are reported on the LCD screens and may be
sent to the printer and the computer.
The DRL2A Line Card Module also verifies communications
with the CPM2. In the event of a malfunction, the operator
will be advised with an audible indication and the Line
Cards will continue to function with their individual LCD
displays and controls. Each line card will continue to receive
information, and the operator may review the event buffer
on each line card.
The printer is supervised for loss of power, off-line, paper
out and other trouble conditions. The communication link to
the computer through the RS232 port can be monitored by
the supervisory “heartbeat” test transmissions.
Compatibility
The DRL2A has one programmable output which in factory
default is used to indicate that faulty data has been received.
It can also be used for the video, audio and other applications.
Central station automation software packages such as:
• ABM• DICE• MICRO KEY • SIMS
• ALARMSOFT • GENESIS • SAMM• SIS
• APROPOS• MAS• SMS• SIMS CSM
and support the Sur-Gard interface. The receiver also provides
a basic communication protocol similar to the RADIONICS
6500 interface for other software packages that have yet to
be updated to include the Sur-Gard interface.
CPM2 Outputs
The CPM2 features three switched-negative outputs. One
output labelled “OPTION” has a corresponding LED on the
CPM2 front panel; the factory default programming slowly
flashes the OPTION LED when the “OPTION” output is
activated. Switched negative outputs are also provided for
the Acknowledge and Trouble LEDs.

The DRL2A decodes all information received and stores
the information in its Event Buffer. When a valid signal is
received, the DRL2A sends a kissoff signal and transmits
the decoded alarm signal to the computer and then to the
printer through the CPM2.
Option [3C] may be enabled to allow the DRL2A to
compensate for weak signals or noisy telephone lines; refer
to “DRL2A Programmable Features” for information on
programming is Option.
The DRL2A will send each message it receives to the printer
for review by the system operator. Two messages may be
sent to the printer to indicate reception problems: the “Fault
Data” and “Fault Call”.
Fault Data Message
When this problem is encountered, the following information
is transmitted to the printer and the computer:
Printer: L0X???????10 Fault Data *
Computer: 0000 T 10
This output for account code "0000” indicates that data has
been received, but is not valid (for example, there are
unmatched rounds or the wrong parity). The following is an
example of faulty data received by the DRL2A, and the
printer output generated:

?????10 Fault Data
Fault Call
When this problem is encountered, the following information
is transmitted to the printer and the computer:
Printer: L0X???????40 Fault Call *
Computer: 0000 T 40
This output indicates that a call was received, but no data
was detected. The call may have been a wrong number, or
the calling control panel was unable to connect with the
receiver’s handshake.
Caller ID
If a Fault Data or Fault call occurs, and Caller ID is
enabled, the printer messages will be similar to the following:
Fault Data:“??????10 5551212”
Fault Call:“??????40 5551212”
Note that “?” represents the missing data; “5551212”
represents the originating telephone number.
4.2 Stopping Data Reception Manually
To cancel communications between the DRL2A Line Card
and the calling control panel, press the [CANCEL] button.
Pressing the [CANCEL] button will hang up the line. This
feature may be used to hang up on a control panel that is
repeatedly sending alarms.
The DRL2A features two telephone line outputs. The
connections are labelled HNDSET1 for the Left Line Card,
HNDSET2 for the Right Line Card. These terminals allow a
touch-tone telephone to be connected to the DRL2A for
voice communication over the same telephone line after
digital data has been received. This feature is especially
useful for medical signalling installations and vocal alarm
verifications.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a regular touch-tone telephone is
used for 2-Way audio communication, the phone must be
left in the
off-hook position, the DRL2A will switch to an open line,
causing the line to be dropped (hang up).
off-hook
position. If the phone is not kept in the
12
If used with a PBX system, 2-Way audio communication
needs bridging resistors. Measure the handset phone
impedance and use a resistor of the same value. A typical
value is 220Ω/1 Watt.
If the impedance is incorrect, the handset terminal switchover
will behave as if switching to an on-hook phone, and the
line will be dropped.
Audio Communication Methods
Two methods are available for using the 2-Way Audio Mode:
Alarm type code Method
After the digital alarm data has been received and the
receiver has transmitted the last kissoff, the control panel
will transmit a constant tone of the data transmission
frequency for 500 ms. This signal will activate the 2-Way
Audio Mode.
The receiver compares the alarm type codes in 3/1, 4/1, 4/
2, 4/3, 10-40 BD or DTMF touch-tone formats to the value
programmed in Option [4C]. This is done to determine if
the 2-Way Audio Mode should be activated. This feature is
designed for use with medical signalling systems in areas
where privacy regulations apply.
This method of activation is recommended as it can
distinguish between different types of alarms from the same
panel, and activate the 2-Way Audio Mode only when
needed. Note that Options [49] and [4C] must be
programmed to use this method.
Reserved Account Code Range Method
The first digit of the Account Code is used to activate 2Way Audio Mode.
This method is used by some alarm panels and medical
signalling systems. The central station manager can group
these panels into a range of account codes in order to
switch on the 2-Way Audio Mode. The transmission of an
Account Code from any of these panels will trigger the
DRL2A’s 2-Way Audio Mode. Note that Options [49], [4A]
or [4B] must be programmed to use this method.
A combination of the two methods may also be used,
please refer to p.25.
Example:
800-9FF (for 3-digit formats) or 7000 - 8FFF ( for 4-digit
formats) for panels which can communicate in 2-Way Audio.
Reserve a block of account codes, such as
Audio Mode Operation
When in Audio Mode, the “Audio” light will be ON and this
message will be displayed:
-L01 Digital Rec-L01 Digital Rec
-L01 Digital Rec
-L01 Digital Rec-L01 Digital Rec
TWO WAY AUDIO ONTWO WAY AUDIO ON
TWO WAY AUDIO ON
TWO WAY AUDIO ONTWO WAY AUDIO ON
The DRL2A buzzer can be used to indicate Audio Mode
operation by programming Option [3E] MUTE BUZZER as
“02”. To silence the buzzer, press the [ACK] button.
Select Option [4D] to have a message indicating Audio
Mode operation sent to the printer and the computer.
For example, use the character “P” (for “phone”) to represent
Audio Mode operation. Program Option [4D] as “50” (the
ASCII code for “P” is 50). When Audio Mode operation has
begun, the following messages will be sent to the printer
and computer:
Printer: “L01-0000-P01 AudioLine1”
Computer: “0000 P 01”
• “L01” indicates Line Card 01
• “0000” used as the account code for internal signals
• “P” is the character programmed in Option [4D]; “01”
again is the Line Card number
2-Way Audio Mode operation may be manually cancelled
by pressing the [CANCEL] button. If not manually cancelled,
Audio Mode operation will automatically be cancelled when
the time programmed in Option [49] expires.
The Audio Mode may also be cancelled remotely through
the Ring Simulation input on the back of the receiver. Future
central station audio management equipment will be able
to use this input to hang up the line and put the receiver
in Stand-By Mode when the operator’s telephone is hung
up.
To disable the 2-Way Audio Mode feature, program Option
[49] as “00”.
An output is also available on the SG-DML2A module (TXPG1
and TXPG2) which may be used to indicate activation of
Audio Mode operation or to indicate which telephone line
should be picked up for audio operation.
For more details, please refer to the programmable options
section.

DRL2A SOFTWARE UPGRADE
PROCEDURE
To upgrade the DRL2A, you need to remove and replace
the old EPROM Chip located inside the DRL2A. The new
EPROM Chip contains the new program version for the line
card. All these instructions can be done with the receiver
powered up since all the modules are hot swappable.
Note: It is very important to print out the existing line card
configuration before doing the version update. To access
this command you have to press the “C” key on the keypad
of the receiver, then enter the password; default is “CAFE.”
The ## is the line card number. For multiple line cards wait
until one is done before giving the command to start another
print out.
Lcard:## Comd:FA
OP:04 Cd:04 Sc:
Follow the procedure describe below to perform the Version
Upgrade.
1Remove the DRL2A from the card
cage.
With a small screwdriver unscrew the four slot screws in
the front faceplate of the DRL2A. These screws do not
come all the way off. Therefore when they are about ¼
inch, 1cm, out from the faceplate they should not be holding
anymore. Gently removed the DRL2A from the card cage
by pulling on the handle located at the bottom of the line
card. If it does not easily remove make sure all the screws
are loose. (shown in fig.1)
Fig. 1
Remove the plate from the line card. The plate is still attached
to the line card through a flat ribbon wire and power wires.
Do not removed them, they hold the LCD screen data bus
and the power for the LCD screen.
3Changing the Software
Inside the line card there are 2 EPROM chips, one on the
left side for the top line card, and one on the right side for
the bottom line card.
Note: It is very important that before removing the old chip
to take note of the position the notch of the old chip. Then
put the new chip’s notch facing the same direction as the
old one, as instructed on the label inside the DRL2A. Some
sockets are bigger then the chip. If this is the case, leave
the extra pins at the notch end as shown in the fig 3.
Left SideRight Side
Fig. 3 Front of DRL2A
After finding the EPROM chips on both sides of the line
card and taking note of their orientation, very carefully proceed
to remove the chips from their sockets (do that with a small
flat screwdriver or chip puller, for example). Put the new
EPROM chips the same way the old ones were, and make
sure they are inside the socket all the way.
2Remove the top plate of the
DRL2A to get access to the
inside of the line.
There are two screws at the front of the unit they are to
hold the LCD screen. It is important not to remove these
screws. You have to remove the four screws on top of the
plate. Some line cards models have two plastic screws at
the back of the plate
that need to be
removed. There is
also a ground wire
attached to the back
of the plate. Loosen
the screw that holds
the ground wire ¼
turn just to remove
the wire from the
plate(Screws
indicated with arrows
in Fig.2).

4Reassemble
Put the top plate back on top of the DRL2A and secure it
with all the screws that you previously removed. If you did
remove the ground wire from the plate before, remember to
re-secure it before you close the top plate of the DRL2A.
5Cold Boot Activation
Turn the Program Enable (Prog. En.) Switch ON. Use a
small screwdriver to turn the switch ON position by turning
it clockwise a quarter turn. The Program Enable switch is
located on the left side of the DRL2A for the top line card
and resembles a recessed screw. (Shown in fig.4). The
Program Enable switch for the bottom line card is located
on the right side of the DRL2A. Both sides can be done at
the same time.

pull the DRL2A out of the card cage. Use again the
small screwdriver to turn the “Program Enable” switch
OFF by turning it counter-clockwise as shown on fig.4.
8Re Install
Reinstall the DRL2A in the card cage by pushing it in all
the way in. If the message COLD BOOT re-appears on
the screen just slide the unit out again and make sure
the “Program Enable” switch is all the way to the off
position. Now you can secure the faceplate screws of
the DRL2A.
9Ready
The DRL2A is now ready for operation under the factory
default configuration. You should now compare the default
settings and your back up setting to see if any location(s)
need to be programmed. The easiest way is to print the
default configuration on one of these DRL2A and compare
them. All the instructions on how to program the line
card can be found in the manual. However, if you have
any questions or difficulties please feel free to contact

Option [30]: Common Event Code and Library Selection
Some central station software packages are unable to process
the alarm using the event codes listed in the DRL2A Decoding
Library. Where a central station monitors thousands of
accounts belonging to different companies, the same reporting
codes may have different meanings between companies.
Because of this, the individual event codes in Options [00]
through [2F] and the corresponding library cannot accurately
represent the alarm condition. To overcome this, Option
[30] may be programmed as follows:
ProgramOperation
00Use Individual Event Codes to
computer, with Library enabled
on the printer
01Use Individual Event Codes to
computer, without Library on
the printer
20, 30-39 and 41-5AUse Common Event Codes
(space, 0-9, A-Z)without Library on the printer
B0-B9 and C1-DAUse Common Event Codes
(0-9, A-Z)with customized Library on
the printer
When using Common Event Codes without Library, it is
recommended that either hexadecimal code “5A” (ASCII
“Z”) or hexadecimal code “41” (ASCII “A”) be used.
When using Common Event Codes with Library, it is
recommended that either hexadecimal code “DA” (“Z” with
the bit 7 set) or “C1” (“A” with the bit 7 set) be used. Note
that the event codes will still choose the word printed if a
common event is programmed with library. When viewing
the DRL2A configuration, this message will be displayed:
L01 #30 30L01 #30 30
L01 #30 30
L01 #30 30L01 #30 30
RS-232 CD: -ZLRS-232 CD: -ZL
RS-232 CD: -ZL
RS-232 CD: -ZLRS-232 CD: -ZL
Where “-ZL” indicates that the Common Event Code is “Z”
and that the Library is used.
The "Space" character (Hex 20) can be used as the common
event code with certain automation software packages to
avoid account code database changes when switching over
from other brand receivers to the Sur-Gard receiver.
Note that Option [30] is ignored when using SIA, ITI, ContactID, ACRON, MODEM II, MODEM IIE, FBI Super Fast, BFSK,
ADEMCO Super Fast and SK FSK1, 2 formats.

[DEFAULT 01]
Option [35]: Line Card Number
The Line Card Number provides a unique identification code
for each Line Card in the DRL2A module. Since the CPM2
can be connected to a total of 14 Line Cards, it is very
important to program a unique code for each of the Line
Cards. Failure to do so will cause “clashes”, where two
Line Cards answer the same CPM2 polling message at the
same time. Hexadecimal numbers “01” to “0E” can be
programmed in Option [35] to identify Line Cards 01 through
Option [36] allows the Line Card to receive Caller Identification
data that is transmitted after the first ring on the telephone

"01" for 100 ms, "02" for 200 ms, etc. "00" will disable the
option.
[DEFAULT 00]
Options [41] through [46]: Handshake Selection
The DRL2A is a multi-format receiver capable of sending
several handshakes to a dialer. Often it is important which
handshake is sent first. Program Options [41] through [46]
according to your applications. If all six Options are
programmed as “00”, 2300Hz handshake will be sent.
Handshake Options
00No handshake
01Dual tone handshake
022300Hz handshake
031400Hz handshake
04SIA FSK handshake

Note that this option affects only handshakes 02 and 03.
[DEFAULT 00]
Option [48]: Interval Delay Between Handshakes
The DRL2A Line Card will usually wait for signals from the
control panels for 4 seconds before sending the next
handshake, if there is no signals received. In certain
applications, control panels can not wait long enough to
get their own handshake especially if the handshake is
programmed as the third or fourth handshake.
Program Option [48] with one of the following:
004 second interval
011 second interval
022 second interval
033 second interval
[DEFAULT 00]
Option [49]: 2-Way Audio (Handset) Activation Time
Option [49] determines how long, in minutes, the 2-Way
Audio function will be active once it is initiated. At the end
of this time, the Line Card will hang up the line.
Program a value from “01” to “99” for 1 to 99 minutes.
Three (3) minutes is the recommended length of time for
the 2-Way Audio Activation time.
To disable the 2-Way Audio feature, program Option [49]
as “00”.
NOTE:
SIA, Contact ID FBI Super Speed and Modem II, will
identify to the DRL2A when it should switch into Two-Way
Audio. Therefore overwriting option 4A, 4B and 4C, but will
still follow the time programmed at option 49.
[DEFAULT 00]
Option [4A]: Account Codes to Activate 2-Way Audio
Option [4A] determines which Account Codes will be able
to activate the 2-Way Audio feature. Program the first digits
of the desired Account Codes in Option [4A]. For example,
to allow all account codes between 1000 and 2FFF to activate
the 2-Way Audio function, program Option [4A] as “12”. To
allow all account codes between 3000 and 6FFF to activate
the 2-Way Audio function, program Option [4A] as “36”.
19
Option [4A] may be used with any formats supported by
the MLR2-DG. To disable the 2-Way Audio function, program
Option [4A] as “00”.
Option [4B] determines which 3 digits Account Codes will
be able to activate the 2-Way Audio feature. Program the
first digits of the desired Account Codes in Option [4B]. For
example, to allow all 3 digits account codes between 200
and 3FF to activate the 2-Way Audio function, program
Option [4B] as “23”. To allow all 3 digits account codes
between 300 and 6FF to activate the 2-Way Audio function,
program Option [4B] as “36”.
Option [4B] may be used with any 3 digits account code
formats supported by the MLR2-DG. To disable the 2-Way
Audio function, program Option [49] as “00”.
[DEFAULT 00]
Option [4C]: Alarm Codes to Activate 2-Way Audio
Option [4C] determines the range of Alarm Codes which
will activate the 2-Way Audio function. Program the first
digits of the desired Alarm Codes in Option [4C]. For example,
if all alarm codes beginning with 6, 7 and 8 are to activate
2-Way Audio, program Option [4C] as “68”.
Option [4C] may be used with 10 to 40 baud formats, DTMF
4/1, 4/2, 4/3 and Contact ID formats. Program Option [4C]
as “00” to disable this function.

panel may transmit the following information:
1234 3
1234 3
3333 1
3333 1
The DRL2A will interpret this information as: 1234 31
This format is not recommended as it occupies the telephone
line for long periods of time. Note that all 4/1 and 4/1 extended
formats must be at 10,14 or 20 baud rates; the DRL2A will
not accept 4/1 or 4/1 extended formats at 40 baud if unless
option [4F] is modified. The default setting for Option [50] is
“01”; when programmed as “00”, the option is disabled.
[DEFAULT 01]
Option [51]: 4/2 Extended Format

Option [56]: Group Arming / Disarming with User Code
Option [56] applies to the Sur-Gard DTMF 4/3 format.
When Option [56] is programmed as “01”, group arming/
disarming signals will be combined with the user code into
one signal which will be sent to the computer and the printer.
For example, the following information may be sent to the
computer: (The printer output does not change).
Printer: 1234-B01 CloseGrp
1234-416 Close
1234-C02 OpenGrp
1234-532 Open
Computer: 1234 C1 16 (instead of 1234 C 01 and 1234
C 16)
1234 O2 32 (instead of 1234 O 02 and 1234 O 32)
If a user code is not received after the group opening/
closing, the message “1234 C1 FF” will be sent; “FF” indicates
that a user code was not received.
[DEFAULT 00]
Option [57]: 4/3 Format User Conversion / 3-digit
Alarm Code
The Sur-Gard 4/3 DTMF format is made up of a 4-digit
account code, a 1-digit event code, and a 2-digit
hexadecimal zone code or user number. However, some
central station software packages use a common event
code and require decimal user codes.
Option [57] allows the user codes to be converted from
hexadecimal to decimal to meet the needs of the central
station software. Program Option [57] with one of the following:
00Send the last two digits as user codes without
conversion
01Convert the last 2-digit user codes to decimal as
shown here:
User Code receivedUser Code after conversion
00 to 9900 to 99
B0 to B9100 to 109
C0 to C9110 to 119
D0 to D9120 to 129
E0 to E9130 to 139
F0 to F9140 to 149
For example, if 1234 4B1 is received, 1234 C 101 will be
sent to the computer.
02Send the last 3 digits as the zone codes with the
5th digit still used as the event code
For example, if 1234 161 is received, 1234 A 161
will be sent to the computer.
When individual event codes are used, if 1234
401 is received, 1234 C 01 will be transmitted to
the computer. When common event codes are
used, if 1234 401 is received, 1234 Z 401 will be
transmitted to the computer.
03Send the last 3 digits as the zone codes and
convert the user codes only to decimal
NOTE:
When Option [56] Group Arming/Disarming with User
Code is programmed as “01”, the 3-digit user codes will be
combined with the group number as follows:

DRL2A COMMUNICATION
FORMATS
Common Formats
The following formats are commonly used:
• 3/1, 4/1, 4/2 formats; 10, 14, 20 baud
• 3/1 extended format; 10, 14, 20, 40 baud.
• 3/1, 4/2 formats with or without Checksum; 40 baud
Sur-Gard DTMF 4/3 and 4/3 with Checksum formats provide
fast, reliable and easy to understand and decode data
transmission. On-line time will be greatly reduced when
using 4/3 and 4/3 with Checksum formats. The 4/1 and 4/
2 DTMF formats can also be decoded by the DRL2A.
The 4/3 with Checksum format is recommended for use
with Sur-Gard and DSC security control panels.

When option [5A] is programmed as "01". The DRL2A will send the information as it is received to the printer and
send it to the computer using Acron RS-232 communication protocol.
Acron Format
The Acron format is a DTMF format. It can transmit 3 or 4
account digits and 8 digits of channel status at a time.
Shown below are several examples of Acron transmissions.
The following applies to these examples:
• Handshake / Kissoff: 2300Hz
• 1234: Account Code
Ademco Contact ID Format
This DTMF format requires a dual tone handshake and 1400 Hz kissoff, or 1400Hz handshake and 1400Hz kissoff.
NOTE: If the dialer responds to a 2300 Hz handshake by sending the Contact ID Format data, the DRL2A will accept and
decode the format. The DRL2A will send a 1400Hz kissoff tone regardless of the handshake.
The DRL2A will display a message similar to this one:
L01-1234 E130L01-1234 E130

SIA FSK Format
The SIA digital format is a modem format communicating at
110 or 300 baud and using the SIA protocol to transfer
information to the computer.
The standard DRL2A is equipped with the Bell 103 modem
chip. The CCITT V.21 modem chip may be installed upon
request when ordering the MLR2-DG or DRL2A modules.
The CCITT V.21 chip is for use with modem frequencies
specified by the CCIT V.21 recommendation.
NOTE: The DRL2A can accept SIA formats with and without
separators. The DRL2A Version 1.8 Software implements
Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the SIA 1993IIb Digital
Communication Standard, except that it does not support
"Receiver Call out and Access Passcode Block", "Reverse
Channel Block", and "V-Channel Communications".
To distinguish from the other formats already decoded by
the DRL2A, the data will be displayed on the printer as
follows:
L01-xx1234NBA-3423 18:36:00-30/09
• L01 represents Line Card 01
• xx1234 represents Account Code 001234
• N represents New event
• BA represents a Burglary Alarm
• 3423 represents Zone 3423
• 18:36:00 is the time in the 24-hour clock format
(hours:minutes:seconds; in this example, the time is 6:36 pm)
• 30-09 represents the date; in this example, the date is
September 30
The DRL2A supports an account code with a maximum of
16 digits, (including any displayable ASCII characters except
the "|") with option 31 (SIA option for Level 2 & 3 decoding)
enabled (01), and an account code with a maximum of 6
digits with option 31 disabled (00). If option 31 (SIA level
2-3) is disabled, the "A"s received in the account code will
be converted to "0"s. It also supports an Alarm code witha
maximum of 4 digits. Usually, the central station automation
software will interpret the Alarm Codes. For manual operation,
refer to the SIA Event Block Data Code Definitions for
information on interpreting the Alarm Codes.
When an alarm is received, it will be displayed on the DRL2A
display. For the alarm message shown above, the following
would be displayed:
L01-xx1234L01-xx1234
L01-xx1234
L01-xx1234L01-xx1234
NBA-3423----NBA-3423----
NBA-3423----
NBA-3423----NBA-3423----
Acknowledgements for the SIA format are tonal by default.
The transmitter may, however, request data acknowledgement
by transmission of the optional configuration block. When
the DRL2A receives the configuration block from a transmitter
requiring data acknowledgement, it will send the tonal
acknowledgement to this block. It will then send the data
acknowledgement to the following data blocks if the data
received is identical.
Silent Knight FSK1, FSK2
Please see page 39 for details.
Varitech Format (Available on 1.81SV)
The Varitech format data will be decoded by the DRL2A as
4/1 or 4/2 format data. The printer messages and the computer
outputs are the same as those used for the regular 4/1 and
4/2 format.
* These alternative codes are available. Ensure that the central
station automation software is able to accept these codes if they
are to be used

SG-CPM2 CENTRAL PROCESSING MODULE
The CPM2 is the central processing module that monitors
the DRL2A Line Cards and forwards the information from
the Line Cards to the computer and printer. The CPM2 is
capable of monitoring a maximum of 14 telephone lines
from 7 DRL2A modules.
General Information
The CPM2 16-bit micro-controller and real-time assembly
language program running at 16MHz allow the system to

SCADA receiver and a CPM2 module. Its function is to
transport the alarm data from a local (satellite) central station
to the master central station reliably by using linked Modems
(like the SG-M1) over leased phone lines. This system is
specifically intended for use with a point to point 300 baud
Schedule 3A data line (CANADA), but can be used with
any data lines.
The CPM2 software version 2.3 supports the data transactions
for up to 14 Digital and/or DVACS Compatible lines, but we
strongly suggest a maximum of 8 lines on the remote location
when used within a SCADA configuration. For the alarms
output choices (SYSTEM OPTION [24]) a number
corresponding to each of the line cards, one to fourteen, is
indicated on the LCD at 14 positions from left to right as
follows:
24: Com1/2 Control24: Com1/2 Control

MLR2-DG Computer Interface
The CPM2 is able to send alarm messages to a computer
connected to the COM1 serial port. This section describes
the communication procedures, and the communication
formats available for use.
Overview of Communication
When the CPM2 receives data from a Line Card, it forwards
the data to COM1 and awaits an acknowledgment signal
from the computer. If a NAK signal is received from the
computer, the CPM2 will make 4 attempts to send the
data. If all four attempts fail, CPM2 buzzer will sound and
the CPM2 will retain the alarms in its internal buffer until
communications are restored. This routing provides reliable
and supervised communication between the CPM2 and
the Line Cards.
The CPM2 also monitors the connection to the computer by
sending a supervisory “heartbeat” signal through COM1
every 30 seconds. If the “heartbeat” transmission determines
that the computer is off-line or disconnected, a message
similar to this will be sent to the printer:
Com#1 Absent!! 09:45-21/09/92
Note that the message indicates the time and date that
communications through COM1 were determined to be
interrupted.
38
When COM1 communications are re-established, a message
similar to this one will be printed:
Com#1 Restored 09:50-21/09/92
Note that the message indicates the time and date that
communications through COM1 were determined to be reestablished.
The “heartbeat” feature may be disabled if this feature is
not compatible with the central station automation software
being used on the computer.
CPM2 COM1 Status Report Messages
The CPM2 will send the following messages to COM1 to
report internal status conditions. CPM2 will use an Account
Code of “0000” to indicate that it is reporting an internal
condition. The line number is fixed to be "0".
Sent to COM1Event
0000 A 00:Reserved to indicate Operator

The following messages will be sent to COM1 to report
status changes on the Line Cards. Again, the Account Code
of “0000” indicates that an internal event is being reported.
The line number varies depending on which line card is
reporting.
New Internal Transmission
Whenever the programming modes are entered from the
keypad, the CPM2 will send the following to the printer:
Programming entered hh:mm:ssDD/MM
And will send the following string to the computer:
1RR0ssssss0000sAs00[DC4]
Where RR is the receiver number.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL WITH CENTRAL STATION COMPUTER
The Sur-Gard MLR2-DG receiver sends the following protocol
to report signals to the central station computer via the RS232 port.
Data Byte Protocol:
The Sur-Gard receiver uses 1200 baud rate, 1 start bit, 7
data bits, 1 even parity bit, and 1 stop bit structure, to
transmit and receive signals. The above protocol can be
programmed on the receiver by the central station operator
to enable different configurations.
Acknowledgement of the Signal:
The Sur-Gard receiver requires an acknowledge signal [ACK]
from the computer software within a certain programmable
time for each message sent. The waiting period for the
[ACK] can be adjusted up to 10 seconds. Failure to receive
the [ACK] will result in the re-transmission of the same signal
three more times before giving up. In case of communication
failure with the computer, the Sur-Gard receiver can store
up to 256 messages in its Static RAM memory. When
communication is resumed, these messages will be
automatically sent to the computer.
Basic Signal Protocol:
1RRLssssAAAAAAsXGYYY[DC4]
Where,1: Protocol number.
RR: Receiver number.
L: Line number.
s: Space Character.
AAAAAA: Account Code, usually 4 digits with
2 leading spaces.
X: Event Code. See Table below.
G: O/C by Area Number (1-F), or
Space.
YYY: Zone Number or User Number.
[DC4]: Terminator, 14 Hex.
When the O/C signals are transmitted by Groups with the
user number included, the “G” code, currently from 1-F, will
be in effect to show the Group number, including the
proceeding Event Code O or C, as well as the User number
at the “YYY” position. The computer may then redirect this
signal when necessary.
Example:
The computer software could probably redirect these signals
to a programmable sub-account, in which an o/c schedule
for users can be available.
The user report codes on Sur-Gard receiver can be decimal
or hexadecimal digits.
Two-Way Audio:
Once the Sur-Gard receiver is in the two-way audio mode,
it sends an optional signal to the computer: (Option [4D])
Where,1: Protocol number.
This signal tells the operator which line is in the two-way
audio mode.
The panel 0012 is partially armed on Group #1
and Group #2 by user #128. The Sur-Gard receiver
will send following messages to the computer:
1RRLssssss0012sC1128[DC4]
1RRLssssss0012sC2128[DC4]
1RRLssssss0000sPss0L[DC4]
RR: Receiver number.
L: Line number.
s: Space Character.
0000: Account Code 0000.
P: Event Code. P is recommended,
but it is programmable (DRL2A
option [4D]).
L: Line number.
[DC4]: Terminator 14 Hex.

panel with the DTMF 4/3 format.
The "Space" character (20 Hex) can be used in case the
automation software package combines the event code with
the zone code, conflicting with the existing account code
data base.
Supervisory Heartbeat Signal Protocol:
1011sssssssssss@ssss[DC4]
Where,s: Space Character.
@: Supervisory Signal.
[DC4]: Terminator, 14 Hex.
This signal is used to supervise the communication between
the receiver and the computer. It is sent to the computer
about every 30 seconds, programmable on the receiver.
The computer should acknowledge this signal with an [ACK].
It is recommended to have this signal running.
SIA Protocol 1:
3RRLssssAAAAAAXXYYYY[DC4]
Where,3: Protocol number.
RR: Receiver number.
L: Line number.
ssss: Spaces.
AAAAAA: Six digit account codes. Leading

CPM2 EPROM PROGRAMMING
Most of the CPM2 options can be changed in the RAM accessed by the system’s configuration. However, some less
important features are installed in the EPROM. The following features are located in the CPM2 standard EPROM and
programmed to the following default settings:
ROM AddressDefaultFunction
6500H05HPrinter strobe pulse width Default = 5µs (microseconds)
6501-65023E80Delay time × 0.25ms to resend message to COM1 if heartbeat is not selected.
Default = 16000 x 1ms = 16 s delay

Changes are rarely required, but these features may be changed to suit particular needs. To make changes to the EPROM
programming, first insert a standard CPM2 EPROM into an EPROM programming unit. Follow the instructions provided with
the EPROM programmer to select addresses and modify data. Ensure that the correct addresses are being programmed,
and verify the existing data in the address before making changes.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS – NON-UL
SUR-GARD NETWORK (SCADA)
A complete package to allow one or more receivers in distant cities to communicate their alarm information to a master
receiver and to be remotely controlled by the master receiver.
The acronym "SCADA" stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. It is used to transport the alarm data from a
local (satellite) central station to the master central station reliably by using linked Modem over leased phone lines. This
system is specifically intended to be used with a point to point 300 baud Schedule 3A data line.

MLRV-A Automated Video Receiver Module
The Automated MLRV-A Video Receiver Module provides
for the receiving of video images over the regular telephone
lines following the Event information.
One MLRV-A module connects to and works with one Digital
Receiver line (DRL2A). The MLRV-A can only connect to
and work with the Sur-Gard MLR2 Multi Line Receiver.
The MLR2 Receiver is a two line receiver expandable to 14
lines, each receiver line, if required can have the MLRV-A
module, if expanded to a maximum number additional power
must be taken into consideration.
The MLRV-A can be housed in one of two expansion cages
available, the MLRXV or MLR2XV, both are 19” rack mount
and should be located in the same cabinet as the MLR2
receiver. A four wire connection must be made between
the MLRXV or MLR2XV backplane board and the back plane
board of the DRL2A.
The Automated MLRV-A provides for two outputs, a Coaxial
video output off a BNC post and PC output by a 25 pin
video bus and 9 pin data bus. The MLRV-A can be set for
video out, PC out or both.
Video images transmitted to the video monitor and PC also
include the Account code, time and date and the camera
number with amount of images to be sent.
Two set’s of dip switches in the MLRV-A provide for several
options when viewing the video on a Video monitor, they
allow for large or small account code, flashing information
and how long it will stay on the screen. The options are
only applicable to the video monitor, on the PC the Downlook
software will display all images with extended account
information.
DLGB Downlook Grabber Board
To input the Downlook Video into a PC it will be necessary
to have a DLGB card, one DLGB works with one MLRV-A
receiver module.
A standard 486 or Pentium PC will be required, up to 4
DLGB cards can be placed into one PC.
Each DLGB occupies an ISA slot.
Two cables are connected from the
Downlook Interface card to the DML5A
backplane.
A 25-pin cable for the pictures and a
9-pin cable for the serial communication.
Both cables can have a maximum length
of 30 meters (100 feet).
These cables are not supplied with the
Downlook Interface.

PSA v 1.00 Software
Downlook PSA software allows for video images to be displayed, saved, retrieved, printed and managed on a standard PC.
A 486 or Pentium with a least 8 Meg of ram must be used, it is advised other than DOS, Windows 3.11 or Windows 95 no
other program should run with the Downlook PSA as a conflict of software could exist.
All functions on the software can be accessed by the use of a mouse or by a touch screen monitor.
The complete software and all individual icons and commands can be password protected.
Up to 8 images can be viewed at a time on one screen and each image can be expanded to full size, Picture receive and
hold windows provide flexibility.
A stay on line feature allows for automatic request of additional images, this is an on-off feature to allow for continuing
viewing of a location. This feature is only available with the Power832 and 5108 module.
The PSA software is provided with the DLGB, the Downlook Grabber Board.

APPENDIX C TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem:No communication with the central station computer on COM1
Solution:Ensure that the cable connected to COM1 is an RS232 cable; it should not be a null-modem type.
Check the baud rate for COM1 (CPM2 Configuration Option 05)
Check the COM1 communication format (CPM2 Configuration Option 06)
Check the computer software set-up
Enable COM1 Diagnostics with CPM2 Configuration Option 16 and examine the communications on the
display screen.
Problem:Bad communication with central station computer.
Solution:The central station software is too slow to provide the acknowledgement signal for the CPM2. Contact the
software manufacturer for a software upgrade.
Increase the acknowledge wait time with CPM2 Configuration Option 07.
Check COM1 baud rate and communication format using CPM2 Configuration Options 05 and 06
Ensure that the COM1 connection is secure
Problem:Fault in received data
Solution:Check the telephone line to determine if noise is a problem; if so, enable DRL2A Option 3C.
Problem:Line Fault
Solution:Check the voltage on the telephone line; it should measure as at least 4V when the receiver is on-line, and
approximately 50V when the receiver is off-line.
Check if the appropriate telephone cable is connected to the DML2A.
Problem:CPM2 displays the COM1 debugging mode and the Master Code is not valid
Solution:The CPM2 needs to be re-booted. Refer to the Cold Boot section of this manual
Problem:Faulty call
Solution:Ensure that the handshake needed by the panel is programmed in the DRL2A handshakes.
Ensure that the handshake is being sent at the proper positions (4th, 5th or 6th position)
Ensure that the security control panel does not hand up before it receives the handshake
Check the DRL2A handshake order or interval between handshakes and make any required changes
Problem:The Line Card displays “<<CPM ERROR>>” and/or alarms are not transmitted to the computer and printer
Solution:Ensure that the Line Card number is not out of the range of the CPM2 scanning
Ensure that the flat cables connected between the DML4 and the Line Cards are connected correctly; ensure
that the contact between the connectors is secure.
