WARNING Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warning
to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of
emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected
for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security professional
to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended. Windows,
doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly recommended if this service is available.
Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent to
develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that its
features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found that it does not provide the protection expected.
Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the proper operation of the system.
Power Failure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other security devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a device
operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition and installed
correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does not have power.
Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a security system.
After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a
function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need to be
operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.
replaced, this monitor may fail
Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jamming or
other inadvertent radio signal interference.
System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the device
in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm system and that
they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
Smoke Detectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke
detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney,
walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well. Smoke
detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time
to avoid injury or death.
Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discriminate
between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and
motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings, floor,
closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat
sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.

Page 7
Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn people or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If
warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or premise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened. Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or passing
traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard by a hearing-impaired person.
Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone line
or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be difficult to detect.
Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or their
belongings.
Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a
component.
Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete system
should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind of construction
activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for property
owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Operation
The SG-System I will occupies one of two states, Operation or Program. Operation consists of Active and Manual modes, in either of
which the system will spend the vast majoirity of its working time. Program consists of the Top Level Menu and the System Functions
Menu. The Top Level menu includes View / Edit Options, View Printer, System Functions and Edit Programming. While in System
Functions you can access the System Functions Menu. This menu includes System Information, Date and Time, Default SG-System I,
Reset SG-System I, User Interface and Exit Menu. See Figure 5: Operating States(2), Modes(2), and Menus(2) immediately below.
Figure 5: Operating States(2), Modes(2), and Menus(2)
SG-System I Operating Manual
Active Mode
Active mode is the most common operating mode. The SG-System I is in Active mode when any of the automation software ports are present
and responding to signals. When there are no incoming calls to the unit, Active mode will give way to Manual mode. On receiving an incoming call, the unit will automatically revert to Active mode.
Manual Mode
Manual mode occurs when automation software is lost or has been programmed out (all automation ports have been disabled). Switching
from Active mode to Manual mode in this case is automatic.
In Manual mode, the SG-System I receives signals and attempts to send the first signal in the buffer. The unit simultaneously displays the
message on the LCD screen, activates the buzzer, and activates the acknowledge LED. To stop the buzzer and the acknowledge LED, the
Ack (Acknowledge) button must be pressed and released for every signal not acknowledged in the buffer. The LCD messages received in
Manual mode are duplicates of the printer messages. For messages greater than 39 characters, the first 39 characters are displayed. Pressing
the Enter button will display the remainder of the message. You are strongly advised to make note of these messages in case any are of a serious nature (e.g. a fire alarm). You must deal with alarms generated while the system is in Manual mode. It is imperative that time spent by the
system in Manual mode must be kept to a strict minimum. Note that the alarm printer and automation buffers reside in the SG-System I.

CHAPTER THREE - OPERATION
Program Category
The Program category is accessed in order to program the SG-System I or to view its condition. Sixteen users in total can have access to the
unit. User ‘0’ is the Administrator, and has full permissions with regard to using and configuring the unit. All other users - ‘1~F’ - may view
system information only, in addition to having the ability to change the time and date displayed on the LCD.
NOTE: All alarms must be acknowledged via the Ack button before entering Program mode from Manual
mode.
Password
A password must be entered before the Program category can be accessed. Take the following steps:
1. Press the Enter button while the unit is in either of the Operation modes (Active / Manual) to call up the password field.
2. Enter your 4-digit hexadecimal password on the bottom line (use the Up and Down arrow buttons to scroll through the characters).
Note that the default password is ‘CAFE’.
3. Press the Enter button to select the desired value and move along to the next digit.
4. Continue until the four spaces are filled. Pressing the Enter button after selecting the fourth digit will automatically present the password to the system for acceptance / rejection.
3
Assuming that the password is correct, the SG-System I will enter Program category and generate the corresponding printer and automation
signals. Should the password be incorrect, the unit will produce an error tone and return to a Base category (Active mode or Manual mode).
Press the Enter button once more to return to the Password screen.
The password can be set in the following manner:
1. Enter the Program category.
2. Scroll to View or Change Options > CPM Options > Option 006.
3. Scroll to the user whose password is to be changed. Enter the new password. Press the Enter button. The new password is set.

Default (0)
This option regulates how data is formatted when sent to a serial printer and how the serial port is supervised. By setting Option 00A to 01,
CTS will need to be set high and print to both HyperTerminal and physical serial printer. By setting Option 00A to 02 (note that this will be
displayed as ‘DCD’ in programming mode), DCD will need to be set high. This option affects how the COM2 serial port is supervised and
how the data is formatted. The default value disables the option, blocking the printing of data.
NOTE: The SG-System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
Option 00B: Serial Baud Rate
Default (57600)
SG-System I Operating Manual
This option determines the baud rate at which the SG-System I will communicate to the serial printer via serial port 2. As a general rule, the
faster the baud rate, the better the unit’s performance. Valid selections are: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, and 57600.
NOTE: The SG-System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.

Page 41
CHAPTER FOUR - OPTIONS: SYSTEM
Option 013: Buzzer Tone
Default (00)
A tone will sound when the SG-System I, having received an alarm, is unable to forward the alarm message to either the Serial or TCP/IP
automation paths (while in Manual mode). You are able to manipulate this tone via Option 013. The tone generated will continue to pulse
until all unacknowledged events have been acknowledged by the user; this can be done by pressing the Ack button for each event, or the unit
itself transfers from Manual mode to Active mode. If Option 013 is set to ‘0’ or ‘1’, no buzzer tone will sound on receipt of an alarm. Any
other value will produce a tone.

Option 02F: Automation Mode
Default - Fallback (01)
The TCP/IP connection is the primary output of the SG-System I for automation computer alarms. It is expected that sockets may appear and
disappear regularly as processes are terminated and reconstituted. After five seconds of socket loss, a socket loss is declared and automation
output is shifted to the next connection level, which is the serial automation output connection. There are five levels of automation:
Loop (00)
At startup, the SG-System I will send to the TCP/IP until it fails, proceed to the RS232 until it fails, proceed back to the TCP/IP
until it fails, and so on. Please refer to the Automation Mode workflow diagrams below.
SG-System I Operating Manual
Fallback (01)
NOTE: This value will not generate an automation absent message.
If both outputs are present, the system will send to the TCP/IP connection until it fails, proceeding next to the RS232 connection.
It will continue to send to the serial connection without stop, or until the reset fallback command is generated from the console, in
which case it will re-try the TCP/IP connection. Please refer to the Automation Mode workflow diagrams below.
Automatic IP Fallback (04)
This mode is similar to Fallback, save that when the TCP/IP connection is restored the SG-System I will return to the TCP/IP port
to send events. This eliminates the need for the Reset SG Fallback from the SG-System I Console. Please refer to the Automation
Mode workflow diagrams below.
NOTE: The SG System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.

CHAPTER FOUR - OPTIONS: SYSTEM
Option 042: Busy Out
Default (00)
Enabling this option allows the line card to seize the phone line in case of a checksum error after download or when its internal buffer is full
after a loss of communication with the system.
• 00 - the line is seized if either of the conditions mentioned above occur.
• 01 - the line is not seized if either of the conditions mentioned above occur.
• 04 - the line will be seized immediately if the automation computer is absent.
• 05 - the line will be seized immediately if the automation computer is absent or there is no communication with the system, but only if
the internal computer (automation) buffer is full. If there is a loss of a printer(s) and the printer buffer is also full, any new alarms will
not be buffered in the internal printer buffer. The SG-System I has two independent buffers, computer and printer.
NOTE: If this option is set to 01, the line card will not buffer any new alarms once the internal buffer is filled. Setting option
042 to this value is not recommended.
NOTE: Refer to UL864 Programming Requirements on page 10 if changing the default setting.
Option 043: System Protocol ID

Static Options
SG-System I Operating Manual
Option 101: Line Card Number
Default (Channel Number)
Use this option to provide a virtual identification code for each SG-SYSTEM I module. Hexadecimal numbers 01 to FE can be programmed
in Options 101 and 201 to identify line cards.
Option 104: Two-Way Activation Time
Default (0A)
Use this option to determine how long, in 10-second increments, 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 FF (1-255 sec). Three minutes is the recommended length of time for
the 2-way audio activation time. To disable the 2-way audio feature, program this option as 00.
NOTE: Enabling 2-way audio will affect NFPA 72 system loading requirements. Refer to Par. 4-5.3.2.2.2 of NFPA 72 for
details.
NOTE: If the alarm panel sends a listen-in code activation request and audio is enabled for this format (Option 7F or B0), the
receiver will remain in 2-way voice for a period of 60 seconds, even if the activation time is not programmed.

Option 105: Pre-H.S. Duration
Default (0A)
This option is useful in the case of a system in which the phone line needs time to settle before functioning properly. The default value will in
most circumstances work satisfactorily.
Enter a value for the amount of time the system is to wait before establishing a handshake. When the line card seizes the line, it will wait for
this amount of time before sending the first handshake. The value set for this option (in hexadecimal) will be multiplied by 100 msec. The
minimum value allowed by the system is one second; any entered value less than that will use a one second delay by default.
Option 109: First Ring Length
Default (05)
The value you set for this option is dependent on the country in which the SG-System I is located, and the type of ring - single vs. double employed there by that nation’s telephony. The value for this option may be reduced if the system has difficulty catching the call. Set the
value too low, however, and false calls set of by lightning, electrical shorts, etc., may be encountered.
In order for the line card to detect an incoming ring, the ring signal must be on for a minimum amount of time. Use this option to change the
minimum amount of time the ring signal must be on before the receiver will detect a valid ring length. Minimum ring duration is 200 msec,
which corresponds to a value of 02. Values of 00 and 01 give a default ring length of one second. Programmed values are multiplied by 100
msec.
Option 10D: Ring Select
Default (00)
Use this option to enables or disable the double ring detection. If see as 00, the line card will detect a single ring. If set as 01, the line card
will detect the double ring.
Option 10E: Backup Line Option
Default (00)
SG-System I Operating Manual
Use this option to enable or disable each channel’s backup line. If this option’s value is set as ‘00’, the backup is disabled. If the option is set
as ‘01’, the backup is enabled. If a line fault should occur on a primary channel while the option is enabled, the line card will switch over to
the auxiliary line to allow normal operation. If at any time the primary line is restored, the line card will complete its online operation - if it is
communicating with a panel at the time - and afterwards switch back to the primary line.
With this option enabled, the LCD line fault messages will change. The table below illustrates how the the LCD messages will appear:

Line Fault and Line Restoral Messages
The line fault and line restoral messages - as they appear in the manner of a computer message - are identical for a primary line and an auxilliary line. Line fault and line restoral messages for a primary line and an auxiliary line, as they appear on a printer message, will differ.
Printer messages for the auxiliary line differ in that the text ‘LINE 2’ will appear in them.
E.g. Nov 17 2007 - 08: 08: 35-SS/OO-SG-RR-LLL-0000-PHONE LINE 2 RESTORE
Nov 17 2007 - 08: 08: 35-SS/OO-SG-RR-LLL-0000-PHONE LINE 2 TROUBLE
NOTE: If Option 10E is enabled, two-way radio will not be available through the auxilliary channel. If two-way audio is
required, the channel’s hookflash operation must be employed. Please refer to Option 111: Hook Flash Enable on page 48.
Option 111: Hook Flash Enable
Default (00)
Use this option to enable or disable the ability to hookflash the telephone line. You can also use this option to set the duration of the hookflash (in increments of ten msec). The ability to set the duration of the hookflash allows the the SG-System I to be configured to work correctly on a wide variety of telephony systems and environments. If programmed as 00, the option is disabled. If set to any other value,
multiply the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal value by 10 msec to arrive at the true duration of the hookflash. For example, to achieve
a hookflash time of 500msec, set Option 111 to 32 hexadecimal.
5
Option 112: Caller Source ID
Default (00)
Use this option to allow the line card to receive caller identification data or DNIS that are transmitted from the call source after the first ring
of the telephone line. Note that the appropriate service must be available and requested from your telephone company before this feature can
be operational. Option settings and descriptions of each are located in the table below.

CHAPTER FIVE - OPTIONS: CHANNELS 1 and 2
Option 117: DMP User Length
Default (00)
Use this option to set the length of user numbers and zone numbers. The first digit in the option represents the user number; the second digit
represents the zone number. For example, if a value of ‘24’ is set for Option 117, the receiver will output a 2-digit user number and a 4-digit
zone number.
Note that the default value of 00 will generate an arbitrary 2-digit user number and a 2-digit zone number.
User numbers and zone numbers are limited to four digits in length. Values greater than ‘4x’ or ‘x4’ will use the default 2-digit user number
and zone numbers.
NOTE: Option 117 affects DMP Serial 1 format, but not DMP Serial 3.
Option 118: DMP User Length
Default (00)
Use this option to determine how the 4/3 format computer output string is formatted. Use the first of two nibbles to combine the user and
group codes for openings and closings. When set as ‘1x’, group arming/disarming signals will be combined with the user code into one signal. This will be sent to the computer.
5
For example, the following information may be sent to the computer (Note that the printer output does not change).
Printer:
1234-B01 CloseGrp
1234-416 Close
1234-C02 OpenGrp
1234-532 Open

1234 O2 32 (replacing 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; the ‘FF’ segment indicates that a user
SG-System I Operating Manual
code was not received.
Use the second of two nibbles to control the user/zone number conversion. 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. Some central station software packages, however, use a
common event code and require user codes in a decimal format. This option allows the user codes to be converted from hexadecimal to decimal in order to meet the needs of their central station software.
Enter one of the following four values:
x0 Sends the last two digits as user codes without conversion.
x1 Converts the last two digits of the user codes to decimal.

For example, if ‘1234 4B1’ is received, ‘1234 C 101’ will be sent to the computer.
x2 Sends the last three digits as the zone code. The 5th digit will continue to be used as the event code.
For example, if ‘1234 161’ is received, ‘1234 A 161’ will be sent to the computer.
In the case of individual event codes, 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. Z is the common event code.
x3 Sends the last three digits as the zone codes, and converts only the user codes to decimal.
When the first nibble of the option is set to ‘1’, the three-digit user codes will be combined with the group number as follows:
Code receivedCode sent to computer
1234B01 No transmission
12344B1 1234 C1 101
Option 119: Fault Call Counter
Default (00)
Use this option to limit the number of Fault Call messages that are sent to the printer and the computer. Two choices are available:
• 00 - One Fault Call alarm will be sent for every ten Fault Calls received. When the SG-System I is turned on, the channel will send on
the first Fault Call received and every ten after that.
SG-System I Operating Manual
• 01 - Every fault Call alarm is sent to the automation software and the printer.
Option 11A: DNIS Input Sensitivity
Default (00)
DNIS noise levels can differ considerably from telephone line conditions, resulting in an incorrectly decoded DNIS. It may therefore be necessary to configure the telephone line sensitivity for the reception of DNIS signals.
Table 17: DNIS Input Sensitivity
ValueSensitivity
00-35db

CHAPTER FIVE - OPTIONS: CHANNELS 1 and 2
Option 11F: Debug Option
Default (01)
Use this option to control the flow of debug messages to the SG-System I debug port.
Option 11F is a bitwise option, meaning that more than one of the available settings may be enabled. Enabling all settings, however, is not
recommended, as it will adversely affect the performance of the unit.
NOTE: Please contact DSC technical support before attempting to access this option.
Option 125: Phone Line Voltage Select
Default (00) - for approximately 20V
Use this option to program the minimum voltage level of the phone line. To calculate the setting, use the following formula:
Phone Line Voltage = 2000 / Option 125.
For example, to set the phone line voltage to 15V: 2000/15 = 133; therefore set Option 25 = 0x85
5
The debounce to detect a line fault is 5.
This option must be between 50 and 250, otherwise the default of 100 (0x64) = 20V will be used.
Note that it is not advised to decrease the voltage level to < 20V, as this adversely affects the timing of ring detection and may cause the
channel to fail to detect rings.
Option 127: Caller Source Process
Default (05)
Use this option to determine how many digits of Caller ID or DNIS - dependent on Options 112/212 - the SG-System I will process. Available values range from 00 ~ 0A, in hexadecimal. This tranlates into an decimal range of 0 ~10.

Option 12C: Dialer Presence
Default (00)
With this option you can determine how your SG-System I will handle dialer presence; that is, distinguishing between an animate caller (person) and an inanimate caller (machine). Select from among the three possible values below:
• 00 - Disabled.
• 01 - The receiver will begin its handshake sequence only when a valid dialer presence tone is received.
• 02 - The receiver will begin its handshake sequence after a valid dialer presence tone is received, or a timeout occurs. Timeout occurs
Option 12D: AHS
Default (00)
Use this option to enable or disable Automatic Handshake Selection, the process of the line card sending a handshake to be used with the
ANI (a method of identifying the calling party). The handshake is sent immediately, as it remembers the details of the incoming panel. This
option increases the speed at which the line card can operate, reducing overall system response times. Valid AHS values are listed immediately below:
after five seconds.
NOTE: When this option is enabled, Option 105 is disabled. This is done in order to synchronize the handshakes sent out by
the receiver.
• 00 - AHS is disabled
• 01 - AHS is enabled, ten digits in length
• 02 - AHS is enabled, with no limit to its length
AHS can also be used in conjunction with with the DNIS to select a predefined profile based on the DNIS table that is stored on the line card.
The handshake is retrieved from the AHS table, with the remainder of the information taken from the DNIS profile. Should the panel not
respond to this handshake given by the line card, the panel will proceed with its handshake sequence from this profile, as opposed to the
default profile.
This option would likely be disabled in a small environment, one not using Caller ID or DNIS.
SG-System I Operating Manual
Option 12F: Online Timeout
Default (1E)
Use this option to enable or disable the online timeout, and if enable to set the time at which the timeout will occur. The timeout range can be
programmed from 01 to 255 seconds (hexadecimal 01 - FF), or until the call is completed by the panel (hexadecimal 00). When the timeout
occurs, the line card will hang up and generate a signal to both the printer and the automation software (SIA identifier SA).
Use these options to enable your computer software to recognise different alarm types. The line card uses a unique Sur-Gard communication
format to transmit data through the System to the central station computer. Event codes corresponding to alarm codes in 10 to 40 Baud formats and DTMF 4/1 to 4/3 formats are used to enable the computer software to determine alarm types.
The SG-System I uses the last digit of data received in 3/1 and 4/1 formats to determine the computer event code. The event code will then
be transmitted to the central station computer. Refer to the Decoding Library for the complete set of event codes used by the line card. For
Options 130-13F, program ASCII codes according to the Decoding Library.

Option 170: Automation Common Event Code
Default (00)
Some central station software packages are unable to process an alarm using the event codes listed in the Decoding Library. Where a central
station monitors thousands of accounts belonging to different companies, the same reporting codes may have different meanings for different
companies. Because of this, the individual event codes in Options [130] through [15F] cannot accurately represent the alarm condition. To
overcome this, Option [170] may be programmed as indicated below:

Option 177: Digit Replace
Default (00)
Use this option to replace one particular digit with another. It is provided in order to deal with those panels, particularly those working with
DTMF, that will send a ‘0’ instead of an ‘A’. It also allows the user to smooth operatons with the automation software, which will not always
accepts ‘0’s.
Option 177 works in conjunction with Option 1A2. When Option 1A2 is enabled and Option 177 is programmed with an ASCII value, the
receiver will replace or insert an account code digit. Option 1A2 determines whether to replace or insert a digit. To replace a digit set Option
1A2 to 0x, where x is the digit to be replaced. To insert a digit set Option 1A2 to 8x, where x is the digit in the account code; following this
digit will appear the inserted digit.
Example 1 (Replacing)
Option 177 is set to 41 and Option 1A2 is set to 01; the account code is 9876 1RRLLLssssss9876sXssYZ.
The receiver will remove the first digit (Option 1A2 = 01) of the account code (‘9’ in this example) and replace it with the ASCII value of
41, which is an ‘A’.
New output: 1RRLLLssssssA876sXssYZ

Example 2 (Inserting)
Option 177 is set to 2D and Option 1A2 is set to 82; the account code is 9876 1RRLLLssssss9876sXssYZ.
The receiver will insert the ASCII value of Option 177 - in this case the ASCII value of 2D (2D is a ‘-’) - into position two (Option 1A2 =
82) and the account code will shift to the left. The account code of 9876 will be converted to 9-876, as indicated below.
New output: 1RRLLLssssss9-876sXssYZ
Option 177 will not affect SIA.

the line card.
NOTE: Option 17A may be used with any of the formats supported by the receiver.
Option 17B: Three-Digit Account Codes To Activate Two-Way Radio
Default (00)
Use this option to determine which 3-digit account codes will be able to activate the 2-way audio feature. Use Option 17B to set the first
three digits of a desired account code.
For example:
To allow all 3-digits account codes between 200 and 3FF to activate the 2-way audio function, program Option 17B as 23.
To allow all 3-digit account codes between 300 and 6FF to activate the 2-way audio function, program Option 17B as 36.
NOTE: Either Option 104: Audio Time or Option 111: Hook Flash must be enabled to activate the two-way audio feature of
the line card.
NOTE: Option 17B may be used with any 3-digit account code formats supported by the receiver.
Option 17C: Audio Alarm Code Range
Default ()
SG-System I Operating Manual
Use this option to determine the range of alarm codes able to activate the 2-way audio function.
For Example:
The receiver can initiate audio by using Options 17A and 17B, Option 17C, or both.
If all alarm codes beginning with 6, 7, and 8 are to activate 2-way audio, program Option 17C as 68. Option 17C may be used with 10 to 40
Baud formats, DTMF 4/1, 4/2, 4/3 formats, and Contact ID.

Option 1A7: Silent Knight FSK2 RS-232
Default (00)
Use this option to provide two possible outputs to the computer for the Silent Knight FSK2 format.
Option 1A8-1AF: Dial-Out Number for Two-Way Audio Transfer
Default (00)
You can use these eight options to provide a dial-out number if the user wishes to transfer a call to another extension. Up to 16 digits may be
programmed, including any 'Feature Command' digits. The values in these options will be sent as DTMF tones on the phone line after the following sequence takes place:
1. The SG-System I has recognized the current call as a 2-way audio account and alarm code.
2. The calling control panel has finished sending its alarms and switched into 2-way audio mode.
3. The channel will perform a Hook-flash with the time value as set in Option 11, and then start to dial the programmed digits.
Options A8-AF must be programmed in the following manner: Digits 1-9 are programmed as the numbers 1-9. The digit A must be programmed if a zero is needed anywhere in the dial string, as the digit zero is used to indicate to the line card that there are no more digits to
dial. If an asterisk (*) is required, (e.g. *70, the transfer command in some PBX/PABX switches) program a B. Similarly, if a # is needed,
program a C. To get the line card to wait for three seconds in a dial string, program a D.

Default (00)
This option is similar to the DMP receiver.
00 = Area is sent to the automation in BINARY
You can use this option to avoid unwelcome VoIP issues by forcing your unit to receive only those DTMF formats you have stipulated.
In this way your receiver will not confuse unwated DTMF formats for those you require.
This option is bit-oriented, and so more than one value may be selected. Each value will disable the decoding of the accompanying DTMF
formats.

Option 33A: Account Port
Default (3064) decimal; (0x0BF8) hexadecimal
Use this option to select a port number on which the SG-System I receiver will communicate with the T-Link Console software for administration of the T-Link Account Table. You should ensure that a unique number is used for this option.
NOTE: The SG-System I must be restarted for these changes to take effect.
Option 340: Account Password
Default (CAFE)
SG-System I Operating Manual
Use this option set a password to restrict access to the receiver account table. In order to retrieve or modify the receiver account table, any
application that connects to it must have the same password. You must ensure that these applications and Option 340 share the identical
password. Applications that connect to the receiver account table include the following:
• T-Link Console
• SG Receiver Consoles
• Table Loader
• DLS (downloading software)
Option 344: DNIS Replacement of RRLLL
Default (00)
Use this option to instruct the SG-System I to output the RRLLL (receiver number and line number), or to replace the output of RRLLL with
DNIS from a DSC GSM transmitter, depending on the type of transmitter you have installed on your site. Both values will send the output to
the printer and to the automation software.
• 00 - SG-System I will output the RRLLL
• 01 - SG-System I will output the DNIS
